/vr/ - Retro Games

Is this what you do for fun, OP?

Not my problem.

My snes from childhood: free
A CRT: free

>>8904568
Might as well emulate at that point

>>8904601
That sounds like a great offer, I'll take both.

>>8904586
Where do the cartridges go?

>yet another thread by the 8-bit do marketing guy

>>8904763
Into his well-greased boyhole.

>>8904568
Cool story, still playing on original hardware until the day I die, though.

>>8904601
That $200 SNES from your childhood adjusted for inflation cost over $400 in Bidenbux and that CRT you found on the side of the road probably has cockroaches so you should factor in the cost of a pest exterminator plus tip.

>>8904568
>>8904572
My full MiSTer setup cost €270 when I got it in June 2020. Now that was a bargain.

>>8904568
Why wouldn't you just get a SNES classic

>>8904847
I've never had bugs in the 4 crts I've saved. I don't live in an urban area though.

>>8904969
Damn, not bad. I built a high-end PC around that same time and there's no way I'd be able to afford what I have now if I had waited very much longer. Felt good to be able to smell the supply chain issues from a mile away.

>>8904568
>I remember when this thing first came
not retro zoomer

>>8904969
Why the fuck are they so expensive now?

>>8904763
People still pay scalper prices?

>>8905989
>zoomer too cool to follow the news

>>8904763
nobody plays carts anymore

I still don't see the point in those Analogue clone consoles.
It'd be one thing if the Analogue Mega SG could support the 32X, but it also doesn't seem like you can, or I've never heard anyone claim so. If you cared about accuracy, why not just grab an original Super Famicom for cheaper than a North American SNES? And while sideloading roms is cool, you may as well just grab a MiSTer as an all-in-one solution. It'd be cheaper than buying every single Analogue device out there.
And if you already own a SNES or and other old game console, why not just grab one of the cheaper Retrotinks to connect them to a flat panel? I just don't see the appeal in them anymore.

on the original snes, could the bottom expansion port do anything that the cartridge slot couldn't? other than reset the console?

>>8908000
It does support 32X, but you need an actual 32X.
i think krikzz is working on something on it too

>>8904763
on eBay

>>8904568
Back then they also charged $40USD for shipping and unfortunately in my area they also had to tack on an additional +10% of the total for taxes. With petrol reaching over $1.4USD per liter now, yes, it was better times.

So, how organized is your stuff? Do you have a huge house? How do you organize things. I've been building bookshelves for my stuff, but it takes time and my house is only about 1800 feet or so, and thus a lot of space is taken up.

Original hardware with a flashcart seems like the optimal solution. Analogue shit is harder to come by than an actual SNES so it effectively doesn't exist.

>>8909170
I believe it was for a scrapped CD-ROM add on that never came to fruition.

>>8904568
Nobody was bitching about the $190 price everyone was bitching about the $200 shipping or whatever ridiculous amount they were charging.

>>8904763
The Trash.

Seriously though, just use ROMS and keep your actual cartridges on the shelf.

>>8904847
A CRT is a giant bug zapper once turned on.

>>8905989
Slowpoke tax

>>8904568
>retrotink
At least it can be used with multiple consoles.
Analouge home consoles were novel for the time are kinda pointless now unless you're a turbo autist who refuses to play any game that isn't on a physical cartridge.
Just get a MiSTer, you get the same benefits of an FPGA but with far more options and not needing to plunk down an extra premium for a flashcart to play special chip games since the Super NT can't play any of them even through ROM loading via jailbreak firmware.

>>8909642
>Just get a MiSTer,
checked the price for the de10 nano lately?

>>8904568
for me, it's analogue+sd2snes and SFC versions of games i really want for collecting

> spending like $200 on this instead of just using your PC or putting it towards a PC that can emulate everything
did you use to eat paint chips when you were a kid?

>>8910589
PCs suck ass. I sold my PC for retro stuff. Have fun with your lame brain expensive PC that you just use to play ancient games though. Totally worth it. Dummy.

>>8910598
wow


what a fucking retard

>>8910601
See you in the next tired gamer thread you make along with saying shit like
>tfw built a new pc
>just use it to emulate 20+ year old games

I got around $2000 for my PC and only had to spend a fraction of that on retro consoles and flashcarts/ODEs

Hardware threads are staples of /vr/.

>I still don't see the point in those Analogue clone consoles.
I think the point is that its cheaper than getting an original console + required mods to get good video output etc. I've got modded gameboys but if the analog pocket was out when I modded those I probably would have just gone with that instead

>>8904586
based

>>8905989
Supply and demand. 2 years ago it was good but not great. Only enthusiasts cared about it. It's fantastic now so everyone's aware and wants one.

I got one just to play all my PAL and NTSC games on the same machine. I can even play PAL at 60Hz which is nice

>>8910019
I don't pay attention to scalper prices unless the product has been discontinued

>>8910019
yeah, $250 shipped from terasic. easily worth 2x that price.

>>8904763
into the polymega cartridge headers
then you can plug this in to your mister and run them if you are autistic enough

seriously, i dont know why you would need to do this- but you can.

>>8908000
the 32x core just dropped for mister
so maybe a port will happen soon as the architecture is v similar
