This is why we need all y’all smart computer people to write some new code to make it work edit: didn’t see your note about the frames. I wonder what determines the framerate

I don’t know but it sure wouldn’t involve video games

There’s this new product on the market. It’s a 3.5 inch IPS monitor that uses usb-c. They’re available on Ali express for around $20 shipped although I’ve seen some sellers with it as little as $8 shipped. Problem is they are pretty much designed to display a pc performance monitoring dashboard using a custom performance monitoring app. I wonder if anyone will make custom drivers for this so that it can be recognized as a pc monitor. Or even if it can somehow be used as an hdmi monitor via a usb-c to hdmi adaptor https://m.aliexpress.us/item/3256803317280463.html?ug_edm_item_id=3256803317280463&pdp_npi=2%40dis!USD!US %2426.00!US %2420.02!!!!!%402102e76916795266404795551de36d!!edm&edm_click_module=alg_product_l1r2_1375904380&creative_img_ind=1&tracelog=rowan&rowan_id1=aeug_edm_41180_1_en_US_2023-03-22&rowan_msg_id=pharCOWS_41180_%24ac4b47a543fe48a18e0c311a3928b0f0&ck=in_edm_other&gatewayAdapt=gloPc2usaMsite&_randl_shipto=US

How bout some Mario Golf?

Does this also work for metallic paints?

I’m thinking maybe this: https://www.lowes.com/pd/Krylon/5013060559?cm_mmc=shp-_-c-_-prd-_-pnt-_-ggl-_-LIA_PNT_219_Interior-Stain-Spray-Paint-_-5013060559-_-local-_-0-_-0&ds_rl=1286981&gbraid=0AAAAAD2B2W_XQGzKDL-WWVlIbMxFN0RmG&gclid=CjwKCAjwiOCgBhAgEiwAjv5whCo-VPU-R2_AXbx0UMVwsviAJ9OBwh6BjAcODEJktC4kFA7vWwlDZhoCJtkQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

I’m fed up with trying to find a good condition Ice Blue Gameboy Pocket for a reasonable price. I’ve decided I’m going to try and paint one. Does anyone happen to know the paint code for that particular metallic blue color? Also if anyone discovers any paint codes for gaming related items, you can post them here.

Nintendo doesn’t flop. They just become determined to shift their focus to other areas.

It matters with other collectibles. I don’t see why it wouldn’t matter with games. I bet a lot of people couldnt care less, but a lot of others would care

Looks like some dude did a kickstarter to make a consolized MVS. Looks pretty solid https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/orthros/orthros-mcs-01-the-1st-mvs-consolizer-kit

I remember playing a lot of pc games in 3D around Mario 64. Don’t really remember whether they were before or after Mario but Mario 64 was really when we embraced 3D gaming. Some games that stick out in my memory is Rocket Jockey, Doom, Hexen, Jedi Knight, Terminal Velocity, Tribes

I tried asking the seller to separate out the game but he refused. This is for sale if anyone wants it: https://merc.li/c6KaAMTwb?sv=0

Purple contrasts good with bright neon green

I seem to remember F-Zero being the demo game at GBA kiosks when GBA launched. I believe this Mario game was also one of the launch titles, but wasn’t as impressive as F-Zero for showing off the new system. I would imagine there are less demos versions of this game than F-Zero since they were both competing for the kiosk at the same time. But rarity is often trumped by mass appeal and people sure do like to collect Mario stuff

For GBA check out page 3 of this thread. There’s a nice list about halfway down the page:

In addition to games already mentioned: There’s two Zelda Oracle games. One is not a replacement for the other. Each game is its own adventure. Two Megaman X games. Azure Dreams DX Bomberman Quest Crystalis Donkey Kong Country Donkey Kong Land 3 in color (Japanese) Two Dragon Quest Monsters games (3 actually) Dragon Quest 1+2 Dragon Quest 3 Harvest Moon games in color Little Mermaid pinball Lufia Magical Chase Mario Land DX (color hack) Mario Land 2 DX (color hack) Mario Tennis Pokémon Pinball (not really a Pokémon game) Return of the Ninja R-Type DX Snoopy Tennis Survival Kids (also a Japanese sequel) Warioland 2 and 3

Wasn’t the purple Gameboy Advance just the same as Gamecube purple ?

I believe so. Mine has no sticker on the back though. Can’t speak for the one pictured

This reminds me I need to get DLC for a few games. New Super Mario Bros 2 Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Fantasy Life Hyrule Warriors Captain Toad

I agree they knew that electronic chips holding a charge will eventually lose charge rendering them useless. This has been known like forever. The part that I disagreed is that they were “scheming” to make Wii U’s that fail after a certain amount of time so that they can resell the titles on Switch. As far as Nintendo is concerned, the Wii U sales numbers were so insignificant that they had to re-release all of the titles. The fact that chips and hardware dies off was most likely not even a consideration in the decision to re-release Wii U titles. The fact that chips are losing charge already is pretty concerning though. Industry standards for the lifespans of these type of products have never really been officially defined, but up until now it has always been 20+ years. That’s really important because if your gonna spend the money to build up a software library for a system, the consumer should have some assurance that their libraries won’t become obsolete for a reasonable amount of time. If Wii U’s are already going dead after only around 8-11 years, this is a big shift away from previous lifespan expectations for game consoles. I wonder if any similar system dependent chips were used in the Switch. I wonder what is going to happen to sealed collecting on Switch with people knowing that the game inside of the sealed plastic will eventually go obsolete if it doesn’t get energized every now and then

There were a bunch of these on eBay a few years ago when I bought mine. It’s funny because they were actually selling for less than the retail version. I got it for $20 while at the same time the retail game was maybe in the $50 range. I agree that it should be valued higher than the retail version though. The market just hasn’t come to that realization yet. It will. in time..

I don’t agree. Because if it’s true what they are saying and Switch cartridges suffer from the same fate, then having porting the games to switch only extends the lifespan of the games by another 5-10 years

Maybe someone will come up with a new chip that can go into Wii U to give them second life

I think they had to roll with purple because it was like the only color they hadn’t already done with the play it loud series or the gameboy pockets. It would not stand out if they re-used a color.
