NO

>rotting plastic
NO

>coomlector has a gigantic hand
>probably weights about 300kg

I'm not surprised

>>8932705
No
>>8932752
Not this gay shit either

rip Raisins rom guy, you did everyone a fantastic favor

>>8932752
cringe

>>8932705
that hand tho

>>8932752
What is that, a guitar pedal?

>>8932705
No. I only pirate games.
I would do the same for prototypes.
Let someone else foot the bill.

I remember that fucking raisins game being the holy grail of prototypes for a long time. Then finally someone dumped the ROM and the game fucking sucks.
At least it gave us this image.

>>8932816
FPGA, runs roms using what imitates real hardware on a reprogrammable chip instead of emulation, very overpriced

>>8932826
KEK

this is the real reason hoarders dont dump roms

>>8932816
raspberry pi 3B+

>>8932705
I'd say no. I don't have a lot and they're not worth much. But when I see rate my collection threads here with a handful of common games I realize that by /vr/ standards I'm quite the retro prototype collector.

>>8932826
I genuinely kek'd right now
Things like this are worth to discover

>>8932705
I are fat. Sorry but thats literally the only thing I can focus on. Why are you so fat?

>>8932752
cool raspberry pi case

>>8932926
That isn't him

>>8933025
Don't respond to the dipshit. Never feed the trolls.

>>8933025
>>8933030
I hate fat people.

>>8932837
>>8932858
Pretty sure it's a pedal.

>>8932837
What makes FPGA better than emulation anyway, I don't get it. What makes it not just another way of emulating hardware?

>>8933393
FPGAs simulate a circuit at the logic gate level. It's possible to reproduce the original chips with extremely high accuracy this way. Indeed, FPGAs are often used in industry to simulate chips before they go to production. Software emulation can't go to such a low level with reasonable speed, cycle accuracy is about the limit.
Not all FPGA cores do this though. Some aren't accurate because of programming errors. There are limitations like speed and size that mean a perfect reproduction isn't practical on a given FPGA, too.
This isn't strictly an FPGA thing, but lower latency and native controller/peripheral compatibility are also advantages compared to most emulators.

I still cant get over the fat hand haha

>>8933057
As we all should.

>>8932705
loose weight

>>8932705
Yes, but i only paid like £40 for this dev cart. Fuck paying the silly money some go for.

>>8932826
Worse nes games exist its actually playable but not good.

>>8932821
Lol dude got a fat stubby n low hangers

>>8932752
Why does vr have against the mister? It's a great little device especially if you're using a CRT

>>8933057
who doesn't

>>8932826
I reckon the next NES holy grail would be 'Ultimate Journey', which seemed like an Injun themed Ninja Gaiden clone. Considering it was by Bandai, it was either developed by TOSE or Human Entertainment. It at least existed in a playable form to get screenshots.

>>8934452
It's an ancient story involving grapes.

>>8934452
Its use cases are extremely niche when compared against alternatives yet it gets shilled unrelenting in unrelated threads as we see here.

>>8932752
Euphorically based

>>8932705
i only collect games i'll play. a prototype game would just sit on the shelf collecting dust

>>8932705
No, because although I am mentally ill, I am not that far gone.

>>8934512
he looks too manly to be upset by such things

yeh

>>8932705
lose some weight fat fuck

>>8932705
No, I don't even coomlect regular games. I use a flash cart and actually play them.

>>8936332
gee, i wonder why the second one didnt sell well

>>8936394
It was shorter and buggier. I wonder why you don't have a girlfriend.

>>8936403
>resorts to the value of a hole as an argument
lol, lmao even

>>8932752
Stop shilling this piece of shit.

>>8934452
>>8934517
Why would I want one of these over some cheap HDMI to AV converter on Amazon?

>>8936403
Actually it was because of the nigger protag

I have one or two.
oughta sell em, I need the money. But they are hardly worth anything now that hidden palace has made prototypes so accessible.

>>8936538
That cheap converter is going to add a ton of latency and probably fuck up the scaling. If you're going to do this, do it right with VGA and transcoders.

>>8936542
Prototype 2 is a globohomo game, it's full of warnings (karmic debt) about the vax

>>8932752
obligatory emulation scam shill

>>8933393
Really? Nothing, just lower latency due the fact it doesn't need to run a OS. Hardware emulation is still emulation, sometimes (most of the time) their cores are less accurate than emulators already available on PC, not to mention they borrow code from them all the time. There's no magic here, and anyone saying otherwise is either dumb or disingenuous.

>>8936637
>not to mention they borrow code from them all the time.
It goes both ways. Accuracy improvements made to FPGA cores make their way back to software emulators too.

>>8936454
Stop being poor.

>>8936568
>But they are hardly worth anything now that hidden palace has made prototypes so accessible
Good.

>>8934458
i reckon the original version of nightmare on elm street where you play as freddy. or hellraiser if either of them were ever in a playable state

Anyone got Ninja Gaiden 2 for NeoGeo? could you go ahead and dump it real quick? thanks.

I wish I could but 1, I don’t know how to dump games, and 2, normally it’s 500-1000 even for the shovelware crap :(

>>8936643

4 days later and I still cant believe how fat his hand is lol

>>8937575
I believe the channel Whang! went into full autism about these and it was concluded that there was an unusual amount of efforts in the tileset and that some of them were impossible on NES. They were most likely mock ups and these versions most likely never even got into production

>>8940040
>an unusual amount of efforts in the tileset and that some of them were impossible on NES

Rare/Tradewest were gods at making the impossible on NES though.

>>8940072
Oh, it could very well be wrong and a lot of stuff were definitely speculation. You can check the video yourself, but the arguments were rather generally sound, that is, IIRC

My uncle worked for some company that destroyed stuff back in the day.
We used to always have these review copies at our house, but always had to give them back.
Didn't really think anything of it at the time.

>>8940085
>that kid

>>8932705
I don’t collect anything because collecting is for suckers

>>8940279
>I don’t collect anything because the debt collectors would just take it

>>8932705
I wish, always wanted to but it feels like you have to "know a guy" and be in the right groups to even have a chance to buy. Have proto prices been fucked beyond belief like normal games?

>>8932705
fat fuck

>>8934512
Cringe. I own real hardware and games so I have no need for a reddit box.

>>8936542
The new protag wasn't the problem by itself
The real problem was the last game's hero being evil for no fucking reason and you having to kill him
