Hubz | 13 Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 (edited) Hi all, Hubz from www.gamingalexandria.com here and thought I would post the store I've opened up to sell extra Famicom and Super Famicom games I've acquired located here - https://gaming-alexandria.myshopify.com/ All cart connectors are cleaned and tested. Items sold are used to purchase more games to scan for our website at www.gamingalexandria.com You can see for example our scans of Nintendo Famicom stuff here - https://www.gamingalexandria.com/wp/scans/family-computer/ I have the crazy probably unattainable goal of getting every Nintendo Famicom scanned in high resolution. I keep a running list of what myself and another collector who is willing to scan his collection here - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1N6PJAZMn_VoBs9mTf1jfV9WgAYgzeE9jClx2YkMEiPs/edit?usp=sharing and am open to trades for anything we lack that is in good shape for scanning which is the main reason I'm posting here. So if you see anything you like in the shop and have something I'm missing and want to potentially work out a trade please DM me. Also here is the list of loose missing carts I am interested in - https://www.gamingalexandria.com/temp/Famicom Loose Missing Carts.txt Thanks for looking! - Hubz Edited April 11, 2023 by Hubz 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki | 4,942 Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 (edited) Oh hey hi I saw your recent posts up on ebay on sheer accident and was surprised to see an account setup. I was quite tempted by a few items, but ebay as it is they get their cut too. I don't think your goal is unobtainable, but it will be a long, slow, costly battle. fcgamer here I do believe has a full set of famicom and fds items so it's a doable reach, just a bit reach. @Hubz what are your shipping rates? I think I see a few FC/SFC titles of interest. Edited March 27, 2023 by Tanooki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_orangejuicer | 20 Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 I remember a guy on Digit Press years ago who had done this with the SNES library through acquisitions, sold the set, and then moved on to the SFC library. Any chance that was you? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacepup | 2,405 Administrator · Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 I just want to add a supportive comment for the OP here. Hubz is a fantastic person and absolutely a pleasure to work with. We've collaborated on many projects and have done many trades, and it has always been a great experience and he is 100% trustworthy and reliable. He doesn't have many posts here so I just wanted to give him a special vouch of support - best of luck to ya Hubz! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might be thinking of byuu, and what I'll say could come off tasteless, but unless this server was placed on an ouija board don't count on it, he committed suicide some years ago. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I see a few FC/SFC titles of interest. Oh yeah i fully expect this to take years and I doubt I ever get it all but if I can get to 80-90% i'd be happy. With Audi's help we have already about half of the library covered. Ah yes fcgamer helped me years ago get some scans of some very rare adult FDS titles for my site and eventual book on the system. He's a great guy! Ebay costs so much more to sell and ship on so my prices are noticeably higher there, definitely recommend the shopify store over that plus I don't list nearly as much on there. On shipping Shopify it's pretty accurate, it's been a little off a few times but I've just refunded the difference. And up to 3 loose carts I can ship cheaply so I just make that free and along with the Buy 2 get 1 Free you can get 3 carts for $20 shipped you pick out, so not too bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki | 4,942 Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 @Hubz Good to know, I know how ebay is, used to sell there year around but dropped it cold over a year ago almost entirely. I saw you had a few fun ones from the cheap seats like FC Macross and Gundam Z which are good choices. I need to browse the list and see how it adds up I suppose since most are just $10/ea and it looks like those are B2G1 anyway which helps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubz | 13 Posted March 28, 2023 Author Share Posted March 28, 2023 Yeah trying to encourage buying 3 for best bang for the buck on my side and the buyers side. As shipping a single game for $10 after shipping, taxes, fees, and total cost is just rarely worth it frankly. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any chance that was you? Sounds like BYUU who did that, most likely. And yes, BYUU an hero'd himself sadly. :'-( Is no longer with us, but his good work scanning the Super Famicom set is left behind (among other good work that he did), and we are better for that. We are grateful for that good work left behind. A guy named Kirkland scanned the entire North American SNES manual set at 4K future-proofed quality. These are AMAZING and they are available on Archive.org and you can easily download the entire set in a single torrent just by clicking a few buttons on your computer, and then you get everything downloaded and saved for completely free. I'm happy that I contributed in an extremely small way by scanning like 3-4 manuals for it. But he did all the work. It took him like 3 years to complete this to my understanding.https://archive.org/details/kirklands_manual_labor_-_super_nintendo_-_usa_-_2k_version/2020 Super Baseball (USA)/ And Hubz/Gaming Alexandria has been scanning and doing amazing work scanning a lot as well!

Oh well but after all this gets into off topic territory Oh yeah I heard that theory too. I checked the US Travel.State.Gov to see if there was any validity behind it. Checked 1 US Citizen that I knew personally and like 5 more US citizens I heard about that died overseas from news stories, and they were all listed successfully. Just the date of death and a vague cause of death is listed, but that's enough to match things up usually. If BYUU is not listed for some reason, there could be a few legitimate reasons for that, I'm not sure why, I think it's probably a bit much to jump to some conspiracy, but I don't know.https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/international-travel/while-abroad/death-abroad1/death-statistics.html In any case, sorry not to derail off topic, BYUU scanned the entire Super Famicom set I believe. He scanned them in a lossless PNG format I believe, though they weren't made into super HQ 4K 'future proofed' quality they way Kirkland's amazing scans are, but they are still really nice quality, and just a great resource to have, thanks to his very good work.https://archive.org/details/near-snes-scans-png Hubz/Gaming Alexandria has been doing a lot of great work scanning as well.https://www.gamingalexandria.com/https://scanning.guide/ Edited March 29, 2023 by nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
