These 3rd world pictures generally give me a good laugh. I see the most random tiny noname TVs in them.

throw it in the trash and get a real console like the genesis

Collecting is for faggots

AES? I guess so, if only because prices are insane and you are paying a premium simply to have it on AES as opposed to the equally official MVS carts. Official MVS carts of the same games are often much, much cheaper, but they just don't look as "pretty" and are a little bit less user-friendly in terms of figuring out how to run them (not to mention that with a Unibios you can even access the AES-exclusive modes of games).

>>3176920
yes aes

Fake and gay

>>3176712
Wrong

>>3176721
Sorry, I meant:
Gay and fake

>Alex the Kid

That better be bait, son.

I only ever played Alex Kidd in Miracle World, but it was one of my favourites. Though, looking back, that game is bullshit levels of hard.

It stinks

>>3176593
First one is a neat game and only overlooked because it was on the SMS. Lots of cool power ups like helicopters and motorcycles.

Haven't played Alex Kid in Shinobi World but people say it's the best of the bunch. Have to catch up on that.

The Genesis game was meh. Didn't play much of it since it was a snorefest.

>Phantasy Star II

Personally I'd start with PS4, unless you like grindy RPGs

>>3176443
>Sonic the Hedgehog
Get 2 and 3 as well

I was also a nintendo kid, but i recently discovered gunstar heroes and have been playing the shit out of it. it's a bit pricey if you're buying physical copies, but it's a truly awesome game.

Apparently Buffalo still makes a pretty good SNES knockoff controller but another thing to consider is that 1:1 clones like in your pic can often just pcb swap with a real SNES controller. Also, keep usb controller adapters in mind. That's what I use, with real hardware. Maybe you live somewhere retro oem controllers are rarer though.

>That's what I use, with real hardware.
Wait, you use a USB -> SNES adapter to play on your actual SNES?

>>3176429

The ibuffalo ones are perfection

Currently trying to make a ROM hack of an SNES game, which requires assembly programming. Might try an to make an NES game from scratch if I get the time though.

I tried making an Atari 2600 game where you played as General Lee shooting waves of Union soldiers. Development stopped indefinitely when I realized I didn't know what the fuck I was doing.

>>3176369
Well I want to get a job as a game developer eventually so I might someday...

A glitch is something that occurs outside of what is intended. It's an abnormailty. Your Mario example is interesting and odd, but the game is working as it was designed to, so it's not a glitch.

>>3176347
mario is designed to work like that so its not a bug, just weird programming. A bug is something like certain Final Fantasy 1 spells just not fucking working.

>>3176373
One might say the same for all the weird wall jumps and passing through walls and stuff but that seems a little murkier.

>>3176274
As much as I like Outlaws, I think Unreal Gold will get you the most valuable time.

>>3176274
Quake is a must play but Unreal is objectively the best of them all. Outlaws is one you have to get round to at some point as well.

>>3176274

Just pirate them and your problem is solved, if you feel bad about it, then go ahead and buy them in the future from GOG

>>3176260
>as well as in original SNES version of Super Mario World

incorrect

>>3176285
I know it's the other way for the GBA version, but I'm pretty sure it's the one-hit way in the SNES version.

>>3176285
Definitely does on mine.

OP here, also THIS!
THIS has boggled my mind for a week!
It can't be a reflection of the sky, so it's not liquid.
The light world counter-part is the jar salesman... what does it MEAN?

>>3176110
The sky is black.
Its liquid

The broken staircase was there because they ran out of disk space to put an additional room up there.

>>3176051
If you're willing to drop money on an unofficial cartridge, then just get a flash cart and you can own every single game in that console's library - all on a single cart.

>>3176061
I'm going to get reamed here but is that easy to do? Despite owning consoles since the 80s I've never done anythingll like that.

>>3176072
It's as easy as entering your credit info onto an online order form.

>>3175857
(you) wasted your time translating this shit

>>3175857
Interesting, thanks.

>>3175920
And I'm going to waste my time playing it!

I found the best way to do it is to buy broken originals and part them out and just discarding the broken pieces

Never had any luck with replacement china shit

Unfortunately the D-pad is usually the first thing to go, so sourcing replacement rubber contacts from broken controllers is kind of pointless.

I decided to give a shot at ordering a different variety from another seller. If you look at the ones in my OP, they're coloring looks similar to what's found in the original controller, but if you look at the fastening loops on the button sheet, they are extremely thin compared to the originals. Overall the material is very light and thin compared to an official one.

The ones I just ordered are pic related. Maybe they're just as bad but I won't really know until I found out. They're from a US eBay seller with good ratings, so we'll see. If nothing else I will at least be able to do a full review of both types. There's other varieties as well, although this one seemed to be in a reasonable price range and it's not shipping from china. If it's a dud maybe I'll try the remaining types to see if I can find a winner and review all of them. 3rd party repair parts are always hit or miss but I'm hoping I eventually find a hit.

For now I can say definitely avoid replacement contacts that look like the ones in the OP, though. They will basically make your official SNES controller feel like a poorly made chinese knockoff, and your characters will be doing a lot of moonwalking. It's more responsive than a worn out set of official contacts, but that's not worth much if they mess up the mechanics of the D-pad to the point of interfering with gameplay.

>>3175663
I ordered replacement contacts like in >>3175916
and after cleaning my controller and replacing it, the button presses are much better now. Especially the D-Pad and the four action buttons are improved. The only downside is that the start and select rubber is actually a little shorter so you can obviously see it's not original when you assembled everything together. The start and select buttons are functional however so I won't complain. Definitely go for something like this if you need to fix your SNES controller!

Neither one work on Windows 7, 8, or 10, and have glaring compatibility issues.

>>3175143
I was just playing the GOG version of dungeon keeper on windows 7 a few hours ago

>>3175116
First one is definitely the best by far. Too bad it is impossible to play multiplayer of it today. I'd suggest you to play the deeper dungeons expansion as well.
