Before I throw up a thread in SA-Mart, any interest in OSSC with factory fitted HDMI Audio mod (output on OSSC is DVI, as they all are from factory, but I will include DVI-HDMI adapter)? I bought one and it doesn't do line tripling mode with my TV so I'm just going to stay with my crappy HDMI upscaler. No remote since I forgot to buy one with it, but you can use a crappy learning remote or buy one from videogameperfection. Looking to recoup most of my cost for something I'm never going to use.

How much you want for it?

Haha, Red Bull put up an arcade machine at my local supermarket for promotion. You can play a rousing game of Windjammers between the dairy and snack aisles.

Well, I say arcade machine. I didn't take a picture, cause we've all seen emulated Neo Geo games stretched to widescreen on an LCD with no shaders.

not using original Neo Geo hardware is blasphemous.

Look, the extra $200 to get a real Windjammers cart is outside their budget.

(Come on Darksoft, hurry up with your flashcart so i can flip my windjammers for one)

How much do they think Darksoft's cart will be? The NeoSD is too expensive.

Why Spend $80 on an SNES Classic When You Can Install Emulators on a Raspberry Pi and Never Shut the gently caress Up About It?

Nintendo�s highly coveted SNES Classic Mini system comes out today and is certain to be a hot item. A word of advice to gamers who aren�t able to land an SNES Classic: did you know you can just buy a Raspberry Pi and remind people at every opportunity how much loving better you are for it?

You�ve probably seen people on forums sharing their excitement for the $79.99 collectible mini-console, but we both know they�re wrong for wanting a product that�s not a cheap all-in-one computer running a Linux distro off a MicroSD card.

The process is so goddamn simple, why would anyone bother clicking �Buy� on Amazon and having the Super NES Classic delivered to their front door? Just order yourself a Raspberry Pi (but make sure it�s the one with HDMI out and has the MicroSD card reader, don�t accidentally get one of the industrial ones, unless you like soldering�which you know I do!).

After it arrives, get a MicroSD card and load NOOBS on it. You can also buy a MicroSD card with NOOBS pre-installed, if you want to miss the loving point entirely.

Find a good emulator online, like RetroPie, and place your ROMs in /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/snes and your controller configurations in /opt/retropie/emulators/pisnes. You don�t even technically need a controller, you can easily set it up to run on a just keyboard and a good batch of superiority. Can the SNES Classic do that? No loving way.

Speaking of which, some have said that the SNES Classic�s two controllers are an advantage, as if you can�t get USB controllers that look exactly the same as SNES controllers. Plus they�re only like $10 so when they break after a week they�re super easy to replace.

ROMs are easy to find on any torrent site, but make sure you�re running AdBlock. The torrent files for a lot of SNES ROMs will probably trigger your anti-virus software, so make sure you disable it beforehand. Do you like other systems? How about Neo-Geo? Or NES? Load up the complete library. It�s as easy as unpacking the tarball and installing the ROMs into the assigned directory from the command line. Child�s play.

Now that you�ve downloaded and installed all of your favorite SNES roms, all that�s left is closing your emulator and finding a forum or article where people are expressing joy about something. If you followed all of the steps correctly, you�ll be ridiculing people for the way they pursue their hobbies in no time!

What are the longevity issues that are going to cause retro consoles to die over time? Obviously there are dying/leaking capacitors and batteries, but what else?

I'm loving around on aliexpress because I'm about to buy one of these and figured I'd see if there was anything else worth throwing into my order, and I had to share the glory of this with you all.

As an aside if you're interested in why I'm ordering what appears to be a lovely bootleg multicart, awful label aside, it's apparently a pretty good one. Here's a decent review/teardown video about it, and they also have an NES version for about twice the cost, because there's a pin coverter inside the cart. Oh, and its something like 153 in 1, not 100.

don't forget to buy Pokemon Cock Edition.
