NostalgicMachine | 238 Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Hello all! I'm back in the game, literally. I've been jonesing for another top loader (I sold my first a few years back in a massive off loading), and I got lucky on eBay! I'm very happy. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanooki | 4,936 Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Ebay and lucky with pricing? Been eating some imported unicorn horn? Nice job though, it's what I use too, but it's no longer stock as I got a HiDef NES Kit in mine, same general NES core by kevtris the analogue nt uses. I recently got back into grabbing NES goodies to have fun so I get it...have fun. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compared to some of the rough, beat up, dirty and incomplete offers going for $180-$225, I'd definitely say I got lucky here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki | 4,936 Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Oh yeah totally. I've seen what they go for and it's not cool. I mean I get it, and they could be far far worse given there's probably 1 of those for like what 10 original styles? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kguillemette | 1,545 Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 I miss my old top loader from time to time. It was all yellow and smoke damaged, but it was a beast and always worked without fail. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NostalgicMachine | 238 Posted January 27, 2022 Author Share Posted January 27, 2022 They're tanks. I attribute it to having less wasted space in the shell, therefore less room for dust to settle and mess things up, etc. The only issue is trying to stream with a non-modded one. I still have my toaster which I could use, but then you run into the issue of the damn thing blue screening/tapping out randomly, etc., lol. Was your top loader A/V modded?

Of course with the way NES prices are these days, even if I got a top loader, emulation is all I'd be able to afford. I'm probably just going to hack my mini at some point and be done with it.

I wouldn't blame you. Normally it should make someone be a little concerned, but hakchi was so well set up you basically can't break the system doing it and it even copies the contents first so it's like a one click restore as well. Despite the not enough space for all NES games, it does allow for it, you can get a bypass USB port adapter and attack a stick drive to increase the load. At that point you're getting into whatever you care to stuff on it up to including (with some tweaks to hit full frame) N64. Really though I'd imagine 16bit cap at best.
