Musha is also one of those weird genesis titles that tends to go for $80+.

Discount Viscount posted:Worth noting that Pulseman, MUSHA, Gley Lancer, Mega Turrican, and Super Fantasy Zone are all available on the Wii Virtual Console. So are Alien Soldier and a handful of others but those are also available on PC for cheaper. VC/emulation just isn't good enough for this thread

EgillSkallagrimsson posted:Same here. Some of the positions that those old TV's placed those screws in made it a huge pain sometimes, though. My parents refused to let me have more then one game system hooked up at the time because they thought more wires = instant fire. Their concern wasn't too many things improperly plugged into wall sockets, their concern was too many power and av cords next to each other could spontaneously combust at any second.

Today I'm going around to all the thrift stores to hunt for games. My rules are pretty simple as to what I buy: Games: $5 max per title, only going over if I know the game fetches more and I really want it. Titles I have zero interest in have to be around $1-3 for me to pick them up to use for trading/modding purposes. Disc based games need to be in good condition and have their case. Controllers/accessories: If I already have a complete set of working controllers for a system I'll usually skip em, unless they're so cheap I know I can use them for trade. Still on the lookout for good N64, DC, SNES, AES, Saturn and GC Wavebirds along with arcade sticks for all systems. No more then $10 for these usually. Systems: If I have it already it has to be dirt cheap ($10) and I have to know I can trade it/mod it for some purpose. Since I have most common systems right now I'm willing to spend a little more for stuff to fill out my collection, like TurboGrafx/PC Engine, Jaguar/3DO/CDI, and Sega CD. Handhelds: I usually skip em though I'm becoming more interested in some.

iastudent posted:Holy hell, that IS a deal for PE2. Last I saw a copy at the stores here, they wanted $30 for it. I just ended up getting it from PSN due to that. This is why I love Deseret Industries and St Vincent Du Paul, because they don't bother to check prices on a lot of stuff before throwing it in a bin. I had to dig through some piles to find it but I knew I scored when I found it. Too bad PE2 is such a horrible game though

Harlock posted:PE2 is actually really fun and a decent Resident Evil RPG-lite clone. But the original Parasite Eve was so much better though, and the story barely has anything to do with the first game. I'm sure the game is better then my memory serves, but when that game came out I was hugely disappointed.

DaMangoSentinel posted:What price guide do you guys use to price out games? I'm buying from someone, and they haven't given me prices, just what they have, and I want to give them a fair offer. Specifically, I'm buy some N64 stuff, cartridge only. There aren't really any price guides except ebay completed listings. Generally I try to aim for $5 max for cart only unless I know it's a rarer title that tends to go for a little more and I want it.

Going back to dreamcast region swapping, does anyone actually know where you can still find DC modchips? I don't want to deal with boot discs (In truth I don't have a single optical drive hooked up to any of the three PCs in house) and a mod chip that just takes care of it for me would be ideal.

I have a Neo Geo MVS board here that I need to get rid of. It's an MV-1C, the same type I used to build my consolized MVS. I will be putting it up on SA mart probably. However, I'm willing to turn it into a consolized MVS for a fellow Retro Goon, and want to put that offer here before I list the board on SA Mart. Right now price estimate for a consolized MVS is hovering around $450 (That includes the board, video encoder, unibios install and other misc parts). My consolized MVS isn't the prettiest but it works like a champ:  If I don't get a reply within the week or so I'll put the board up on SA mart.

Agrias120 posted:I've always been interested in an AES but the price is just too scary for me. A consolized MVS really interests me, though. What kind of controllers do you wire it up to use (Neo Geo sticks?)--and do you have any you would be willing to sell with it? Color me intrigued in this offer. I put in DB15 ports which are what the Neo Geo home consoles use, so any AES controller will work. Sadly I only have the one I own and can't part with it, but I see them up on ebay all the time.

A project I've been wanting to work on for a while now is a true universal joystick. The X360+ has a daughterboard with a RJ45 port. It's currently used to wire PS2 controllers to it but I wonder how easy it would be to wire saturn/AES/other legacy consoles to it.

Along the lines of RGB to YPbPr transcoders, I've been thinking of buying another one of the Jrok boards I used in my consolized MVS and building a mini transcoding box for genesis/snes. Just a matter of getting some cash and parts together.

 RAKUTEN FREE SHIPPING (Up to ¥4,000) ON ORDERS ¥10,000 and aboveSo have you wanted to fly to japan to buy a bunch of old, cheap japanese games but can't actually afford the flight/stay? Or have you wanted to order games from japan only to balk at the shipping? Well, it's time to introduce you to Rakuten. Rakuten is a online storefront for a ton of asian stores. Some of those stores sell used video games. Those games are pretty drat cheap. There are a few catches to Rakuten though. First, under normal circumstances standard shipping from japan is insanely high. Second, they only act as an intermediary between you and the stores you buy from. Third, when you're browsing products, most of the pages are machine translated, so it can be hard to find exact things you want. When you place an order with Rakuten, they give you an estimated cost. A day or two later, the store/s will email you with the final cost + shipping. They then ask you to email back with confirmation that you want the item and to ship it. With this in mind, it's advised to select one shop and shop only from them. Goon recommended is Surugaya-a-too. Other points: -If the item is pictured as the box/case, it is a full set. Games that don't have boxes are usually pictured as cart only. -My first Rakuten order was about 30 SNES games and a couple accessories. 9 of the games were in boxes. Shipping was $80. Now, with that all said, Rakuten members who spend ¥10,000 or more will get free shipping up to ¥4,000 THIS WEEK ONLY You have to be a Rakuten member for this sale, and the item has to have [fs01gm] in the item description. Consider this Japan's Black Friday sale.And here's my haul:

iastudent posted:If an item does not say "there is no box theory" in the item name, then from what I understand, it should include the box and manual. This is right as far as I can tell. In my first purchase, everything I got that didn't have a box said "There is no Box Theory" and everything I got that had a box didn't say that and the item was listed with a picture of the box.

Antillese posted:HKR, that's a pretty badass haul. I like the way you bought all of the Guilty Gear incremental releases. But I see CvS1, but not CvS2. Did I miss it? If not, it's a criminal oversight. At least they play substantially differently than the Guilty Gears which are more or less obsoleted by each successive version. My rule for buying used stuff is $5 or less. CvS1 was under $5, CvS2 wasn't. (I also really really like GG) The first item is a collection of pocketstation games I believe. I also have a secret desire to collect every single japanese release that supported the pocketstation. I imported one back when they first came out for a crazy amount of money, and a few years later my brother stole it and sold it for drugs. I picked up a new in box one last time I did a Rakuten sale for about $1.

Chainclaw posted:I don't like when video game swag becomes valuable. I noticed that Mega Man 9 Press Kits sealed go for the price of a Wii U on eBay, and I'm getting tempted to sell mine. It's a really cool thing, but that's a crazy price for it. You have to ask yourself if you're collecting because you like games and want to have cool things, or if you're collecting because you want to make a cool profit. Both are okay but when it comes to things like the MM9 press kit you have to ask yourself why you got it in the first place.

iastudent posted:For those of you that have ordered on Rakuten, how long does it usually take before the store contacts you to confirm your order? I'm seeing that a lot of items that I submitted are "sold out", which I'm guessing means that they're putting the order together right now. Give it a couple days, then if you don't hear back email the shop directly with your order number.
