This is incredibly cool. I would love to see a Super Tilt Bros mod to use online matches. 

Had a limited time with SNES as a kid. Was mostly around (and had) the Genesis. But of the games on SNES I played I remember I loved Donkey Kong Country and Super Mario World most. 

New gear day is best day   Not videogame per say, but just replaced my preamp and main amp with tube amps! Been looking for an amp this size to fit on my tiny table. The separate power supply enclosure was also a nice touch. 

Replaced the stock tubes with higher end ones. Gold Lion EL34 and GE 5654W all 'round. 

 

If you consider chipmusic cartridges 'niche'. That is my favorite thing to acquire for retro consoles/microcomputers. 



 

Recent Pickups! (another relevant one in the mail too, but screw it I can't wait that long) 

First one is clearly SuperSmash Bros 64 ^_^

Second one is Rise of the Obsidian Interstellar by Disasterpeace . 

This man is an absolute legend.

Congrats on the Shantae vinyl! Is that the Limited Run Games purple variant or the red one?

It's the red one. 

I second the Audio-Technica LP series for quality on a budget. 

I went for the slightly more LP1240. But have had experience with the 120 and it is a steal. 

the cheaper LP60 is decent for the price but you are giving up the direct drive of the LP120 for a belt system in the LP60

What is the pink one with the bikini waifu? Looks familiar but I can't remember.

I don't know to what extent this has been discussed, but is there any chance Nintendo or Sony sue the owner to reclaim the hardware? I'd be concerned about expending any considerable amount of money on something if there's a chance I'd be taken to court over ownership, or I'll put it in another way, are we sure the seller is without a doubt the legal owner and Nintendo and/or Sony can't claim ownership?

If they wanted to my guess would it would have been done during the original discovery hype of the item. Not right after some poor soul spent $360k on it.

If any of you guys like Genesis music..... This is about to drop and has 5 days left on the campaign. Gotta say it's pretty sick.

Hello, 

Trying to find the best way to go about trying to locate many copies of a particular game. It is not a sought after game, and this is one of the reasons I am after it. The price it is usually sold for is decent for what I need it for, but it's hard to find a good quantity of them. 

Any sites you know of that usually carry multiples of usually unwanted NES carts? 

Thanks

I guess I shoulda included 'Hero of Time', but that is more of an orchestral remake. 

I do not feel soldering / desoldering / repairing such a relic in that way would be a good thing. Preventing, yes. But taking a soldering gun to this cart I feel is backwards to the point of having one. Having it all original as much as possible is what I would prefer even with bit rot. 

Though it is likely entirely possible use probes to reflash the chip in circuit. So if you could dump without desoldering, you could uv erase and reflash it without any desoldering.

They are now.   They weren't when I first got the cart.  It works fine.  They aren't nearly as easy to erase as most people think

I dev for NES and am familiar with EPROMS. While fully erasing takes a lot, over time if left uncovered, even one byte gone can cause issues. Just would hate to see such a cart go for something easily prevented.

Yeah, that's mine

This is concerning. Why aren't these covered? 

Found this the other day. Could possibly help with wiring:

I don't hate it, but it really could've used a few more months of development time. So far I have found over fifty glitches, several of which are game-breaking. Also, I've recently been informed that there are several more.

Not sure if anyone remembers my Spyro topic on NintendoAge, but I still consider this the glitchiest game ever made. Yes, even more glitchy than Action 52, Cheetahmen II, Big Rigs, and Sonic '06.

Considering the original team didn't make this I could see it being very buggy. 

Look for your game's mapper: http://tuxnes.sourceforge.net/nesmapper.txt

Locate the pinout of the mapper chip present on your board. (VRC2 for example: https://wiki.nesdev.com/w/index.php/VRC2_pinout) 

Locate the Pinout of the NES or Famicom cart edge: https://wiki.nesdev.com/w/index.php/Cartridge_connector

Use a multimeter in continuity mode to compare the pins of the mask roms (PRG/CHR) to the cart edge and mapper to assign them their values. You need to account for the CE chip enable, OE (output enable), Power pins, Address lines (A01, A02, A03, A04, etc etc), The Data Lines (D01, D02, D03, etc etc), and other such pins. 

Once you have the pinout of your mask rom, you compare it with the pinouts of your EPROM or EEPROM. If the pin positions differ, you would wire that pin the the corresponding position on the PCB that matches. 

Many NES maskroms have been shown to match closely to their EPROM counterparts, but they usually are not exactly the same. 

That is a very cool thing to even offer the community. Thank you for this!
