Tanooki

Ripped off, they were sold over a kickstarter so those who have them will try and likely go for scalper prices on it since the original run of the carts has come and gone.

Isn't it possible to just use the NT to dump the game, but then copy it to a computer and use some app/program that can dice up the PRG and CHR files separately? I could have sworn I've seen something that does this in the past.

No problem. Fcgamer tipped me off to something, good luck not getting hosed on a cart, but if you go to their website(I don't know it off hand) there's a true in every sense of it mega man sequel/clone game out since late last year called TROPHY you might want to take a peek at. Quality level from the clips I've watched is insane, and he said it plays just as nice as the capcom oldies too, so it's not just a pretty game with average wonky homebrew design/control issues.

It's strange, I got new games yesterday, and instead for a few hours late afternoon/early evening what do I do? I fired up a Famicom bootleg I brought back from the dead, Super Fighter III which is the best made SF2CE clone for NES(FC) and then jumped to another thought was busted multi(FC again) and poked a few rounds into arkanoid on there. Then my eye caught the SD2SNES in the SuperNT and I put at least 2 hours on a few versions of Parodius of all things, and tapped a few minutes into a few Super Gameboy2 booted old 8bit gems. I need to get my priorities straight, but as much as it is, I hadn't had fun like that for awhile and wish I knew what motivated it since motivation is what keeps me off things for weeks at a time or more anymore these days (which I don't like.)

I have the NES game too all complete, got it last year. I've been through most of the game, didn't finish it. I didn't think it was all that grossly hard until the late parts of the game so perhaps this built from the ground up NES version was made less sadist as I know I'm not some one shot expert at that. Control is great, audio visuals are high quality end of the NES spectrum too. I remember talking with Piko/Eli about this awhile back when it was kickstarted and he said the asinine difficulty was scaled back, challenge still yes, but not rage inducing with some new balancing and what not. I'd believe it because I got that far on the one I have. Of the versions I saw the NES one just blew me away the most, especially the fluid amount of animation frames Jim and others have, it's smooth like Moon Crystal on Famicom or Prince of Persia NES.

I'm with fcgamer on that one, it's about the same here and has been well into last year. Even if the numbers for infection are up perhaps, deaths, and in particular tied to the current rager are very low, especially in the case of someone who didn't have a pre-existing issue that compounded it. Short of places playing the fear, woke, whatever you want to call it card they've not required the masks for a long time now, just warning signs about it being your choice if you haven't had shots. And that's the reality of it, you choose at this rate largely. The politicians are over it, and this state currently is split with a democrat governor who saw when it back off and it worked well enough when looking at the info when it's broken into variables of life, death, had shot or not, had issues or not, etc. It's mostly just a media thing, a control thing really now, probably in 2023 it'll fade after people get elected or tossed out in November.

I'd expect to see more stuff offloaded with the changes this year as people catch on. They'll get out, take less, trade things, sell locally. That though with the Gameboy was just insane luck whether influenced or not by that. Curious to see what goes up.

Yeah look on the brighter side, it kind of is, we're now into endemic status.

Maybe he's deranged, or maybe government greed is possibly pointing to maybe there's more to the story? Either way that says 5 years, and $1000/day fine. That's $1,825,000 out of $2,500,000 worth of gold coins, and betting he has had some maybe lawyer fees or whatever. Those coins are more or less gone in expenses.

Hah yeah well, same there. As long as it has been out I have not seen one exclusive game to justify buying it either, let alone putting up with the scalping trolls. I'm just a Switch+PC and handheld (evercade, etc) player now. I find less systems in a generation is better.

I got rid of the PS4 I'm guessing 3 years ago now maybe 4...just did nothing for me so I couldn't use it unfortunately.

Today was an interesting mail day. Saturday I got the evercade 2in1 game there, the other was supposed to be sunday but amazon is incompetent more by the day. Drove the thing around town for 13hours to then dump it on the USPS after midnight, so it got here today. And then an LRG surprise came in the mail too. Now if I could just un-hosed over on Circle of the Moon #1.

I've yet to pop the wrap but the LRG blowout sale goodies arrived: I took a shot in the dark on one of two things, that would be Tiny Metal Ultimate as it looked like Advance Wars, and the other is Curse of the Moon 2. Sadly I still can't source COTM1 >:[ Got pulled from my checkout while the CC was processing.

They're scaled slightly better, the GB 5 at least, the GBC Xtreme games have oversized bosses too which blows as the stages work ok. I owned 6/7 of those, do not have Xtreme 2 on GBC.

TacoBell did doritos locos tacos or whatever that junk was, maybe a chalupa too.

Bonus points for the name tag, I bet he's still got all his 9lives.

I'd call them rare unless someone started making copies which would be easy. They're meant to be popped off immediately and tossed, they're just warning bits that double as to not scratch the red underneath there. If you leave them on they could easily cause an imbalance with the rotation when doing the game made for it. When I had my original ROB I popped them off, but when not used they went back on to keep the dust off I guess. Damn I miss my rob, I have another, but it's just a working one with nothing, not even a battery door, so it rests as a wall trophy and for $5 I can't complain.

Some would definitely feel that could be seen as a positive.

Maybe the DA will care if it goes this far? Ehh...nah who am I kidding? He's have to be on the end of that two guys hatchets first.

I have Dragon's Fury on the way -- any help with the rest?

Well I had a little break of thrift luck today going between two places. I picked up an amazing Anker Premium Bluetooth Speaker for $20 still in the box with the fold out, was missing the short mini usb cable to charge it and the dinky aux male/male plug too (meh and meh) but hey it's a very highly rated sound bar that used to go for $80 when it came out, still isn't that cheap either second hand so I can't complain. The audio on it is utterly fantastic, should be amazing off my phone doing music onto gaming from there but more so the Switch. It has 2 subs 2 speakers. All smooth. 2 10W drivers on it. Battery if used rates to 6-8hrs which is nice. I have metallic long braided usb cable and for now am just leaving it plugged in and it's sweet. https://www.anker.com/ca/products/variant/premium-bluetooth-speaker/A3143011

I just knew it, somehow, with him posting this would be a variant post of a one off weird thing happening to a product. In this case it's not a misprint, it's a mis-coating of dorito dust into a full on coating bomb.

Yeah ebay would remove this if you got a person on the line, even if it was some prompt reading troll ask for a supervisor/escalation. Point out it's feedback fraud, point out they need to read the mails in your bin with the send+receive folders, and it'll be very clear you did everything correctly and even offered to help them get it, IF they updated the address. They instead pushed back, ignored, ordered, then got frosty when you did what you promised, shut it down. For all we know, it was an attempt at mail fraud saying they didn't get it, keeping it, and your money too.

This one I give a high mark of 9, the game here is short of a 10 as it's not perfect, but wow did Rare ever go out with a bang on the N64 with Conker. Rare for me was a little taboo, outside of their FPS efforts on the system for one simple reason -- overkill collectathon style platforming which got worse by the release into the utterly asinine culmination of DK64. DK64 a game where you had to re-run the same courses 5x over(per kong) to really clear it going through many depths of overkill accumulation to then up and do it again, and again, and again per stage. Nothing new for them it's what for me dragged down Banjo. But watching Conker develop over time, it strangely seemed while earlier focused on that, when they went with a unique shift toward edgy it dropped. And boy did it ever on both counts. Rare proved they could make an utterly insane platforming adventure game with real true personality with layers of fun, humor, utter depravity all at the same time. And they did it while not having to make a shorter game that felt big because you got stuck with an ever increasing amount of crap to collect per stage to open another door to wash rinse and repeat. The game has years of development starts and restarts behind it, but largely also years of learning from non-failed projects too and it paid off. The mechanics of the gameplay, the controls, the camera, stage design are just so fun, welcoming, and well designed it's a joy to play ...and without collecting a migraine from being a re-run. A nice fluid game that moved from stage to stage, challenge to challenge, coupled with one of the most unique character game personalities ever... a warped mind of a squirrel who seems to be a mix of disney meets future schitzo Underwood from House of Cards, and a heavy touch of some WTF Ren & Stimpy type moments rolled into one...and it works, well, even when clearly aping prime movies of the era (Matrix, Private Ryan, etc.) There's little bad about the game, nothing I can honestly call out at large to make a point. A few little rough areas, as those styles of games can always have a few little hang ups, it's unavoidable, but it really is just that good. The game even had these amazing tech moments of the era where people would make claims n64 couldn't do this or that, it's too much for it, yet it did... moving fur, independent eyes from the head, and other little fine touches that make the character really come to life. It's a horrible shame the game never got a good sequel and then got lost to time, even the 360 era remake ended up as crap too.

Each game has its own storage for one quick auto save and 5 save slots. So any of those old games that didn't save at all or had some horrid impossible to write down correctly code isn't an issue anymore. In the case of the Lynx, hot saves would be key especially if you were really working at it with some games over others.
