Recent Acquisitions

We had one, and it must have JUST died because it was up as of yesterday, anyway.

Good score on the Gameboy Light, always wanted one.

>>3469127
It's pretty neat, but it makes me kind of salty that its screen is larger than my GBC's.

I found a copy of Final Fantasy Legend II. It was published by Sunsoft, unfortunately.

the bivert DMG masterrace will fix that problem for you

pic related. yeah, not technically /vr/.... but this thing is actually kind of nice and deserves some love. screen is crystal clear (albeit small), proper d-pad and buttons. i got it for tetris, and it's a great version.

>>3469178
What's bad about it being published by Sunsoft?

>>3469349
Nothing of the trilogy Legend 2 is considered the best. But that's for SaGa threads to go over.
>>3469112

You lucky shit. My most recent acquisitions are:
>Super R-type
>Illusion of Gaia
Over paid at a local shop, last fucking time for a place that continues to burn me
>Alttp
Got this one from a manager where I work, real bro that one. Maybe karma paying be back for swearing off my beaten wife relationship with the local retro shop.

Just Arrived.

Because I converted my collection to flash carts and sold the lot for a corvette, which I just can't get enough of driving.

>Over paid at a local shop

You overpay at every shop though. Most will make deals since they all know they are asking stupid prices on shit.

>>3469112
That GB Light looks neat! How much did it cost? great buy

I haven't seen anyone successfully haggle with them, anything 5th gen or older is stupidly priced. In my experience I have seen shops that had decent prices. One I especially liked sold games at reasonable prices without having to haggle. But they were also a full blown vintage shop that also sold retro.

The Game Gear stuff was $25, Dreamcast games are still sealed for $50. Not pictured are Gunlord, Last Hope, Fast Stryker Neo and Vampire Chronicle because I missed the post man today.

Hopefully the store nearby still has their copy of Mega Man X, I'm gonna get that on Sunday.

>>3469112
>GBLight for 25 bucks

you fuck

My only recent purchase was a PS Vita, gonna find out if it's worth owning now that I can try out all the games on it something tells me the answer is still no...

>>3470974
I think piracy and emulation is a thing, but you need to be on 3.60.

>>3470929
What do they want for it? Whenever I see it at my local stores they want $40-$50 which is just insane.

>>3470998

40 plus tax.

>>3470318
>>3470429
Actually, it was more like $22.50 and tax. My local store offers discounts to military and students.

>>3471012
Yeah seems like you just have to accept it. I still need x2 and x3 but god damn... it makes me mad just thinking about paying $120 for a loose cart.

>>3471012
>>3471027

Why not just buy it online for 25$ + free shipping


?

I'm confused, yall wack

>>3471031
>a winning bid price fighting with a bunch of other people is the same as a BIN price.

You're a fucking retard kid.

>>3471048
Literally going for like 26 dollars on pricecharting rn, no bidding needed.

Goes for around 28 buy now on ebay quite a lot.

Thank you for your hatred :~)

>>3470928
What are the second and third GG games you have there? And how's the screen? Still works or no?

>>3471057
>no bidding needed.

Why don't you try clicking on it you can clearly see that it was bid on. The only BIN carts are $30-$45 right now so $40 at a store seems fair.

>>3470309
Nice purchase. What year? Recent, or older?

>>3471061
Not him, but it looks like Ax Battler and World Series Baseball.

>>3471063
it's literally going for 28 on price charting.

You're either trying to prove your right when you simply aren't, baiting me, or something else.

You're overpaying, all I am saying. No need to be such a rude cunt about someone trying to help you save a couple dollars.

>>3471069
Price charting goes by recent winning auctions. Furthermore, I found it inaccurate in some instances. Not that anon btw

>>3471070

You don't understand what I am saying. You can sell your shit on price charting, theres one going for 28 right now.

Plus, if you ebay "megaman x snes" and look at what people sold already under buy now you see it goes for 19-25 quite a bit, hell I see one right now that sold for 15+3 dollar shipping.

Idk why I am even trying to help anyone anymore.

Says the aggressive asshole who called 2 people whack because a game sold today for $25. Did you happen to notice it sold for $38 yesterday or are you too thick headed to comprehend how pricecharting actually works? here i'll help you since you're too much of a fucking retard to figure it out yourself.

>>3471074
Really? Damn the price went down

>>3471083
Yes, snes prices are dropping randomly, thank god?

>>3471080
Wack really isn't that harsh of a word, you really took that harshly? I thought I was on 4chan.

You literally are misunderstanding me either way. Spend your 40 bucks, idc

>Yes, snes prices are dropping randomly, thank god?

No they aren't wtf. Man I'm done responding to you since you're obviously mentally ill or just slow.

>>3471090
It depends on the game, generally though they are stabilizing.

Earthbounds dropped quite a bit since last year while chrono is slowly going up still.

>>3471061
Ax Battler and World Series Baseball. Ax Battler seems cool. It's like Zelda 2 except set in the Golden Axe universe. Baseball is a typical baseball game.

The screens alright. It's hard to recall what they were like when they were new. Haven't had one since 2000. I can still sit and enjoy it at a reasonable angle.

Some lines flicker on start up, so a capacitor is probably going to go soon. And if the cartridge isn't in right it'll reset itself a lot. If it's in well enough it's fine for as long as I've been playing it.

>>3470928
You aren't going to be playing Game Gear very long with so few batteries.

>>3469112
All within a month. Killing time for 2 bucks was a killer win

Yeah, your caps sound really bad. Luckily the one I got at a local game store a year ago still had an above average screen for a GG. You probably don't want to spend the money on it anytime soon, or at all maybe, but there's a guy on eBay from the UK who refurbs GGs to a like new condition.

>>3471584
>>3471165
New caps will also extend the battery life a lot. Even more if you remove the fluorescent tube backlight and put in a modern LED backlight strip, which is like $10. You can totally replace the lcd screen with a modern one, but it'll cost over $100 and is quite difficult to install.

>>3469112

I fucking loved Alleyway. And Qix.

>>3470928

>OOOHH CHECK ME OUT!!!
>YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE FAT MAN!!!

Ooga Boogah is amazing.

>>3469112
Maybe there is one, but with a differently-worded title.

>>3469745
If a place overprices, dont shop there.

You overpaying for shit just re-enforces their "some sucker will pay it" mentality.

>>3469112
>Gameboy Original System
>Gameboy Light

Whoever made that sticker doesn't know what they had.

>>3471783
Hence my resolve to not purchase from them.

>>3471795
But you did buy from them.

Sure youre doing the right thing now, but you fucked up before is what im saying.

If i go into a game store i check out the prices. If theyre ridiculous i just leave. Im not going to overpay once then say "not gonna overpay again".

>>3471787
The POS at GameXchange doesn't have the light in their system.

Got this lot yesterday and discovered some quirks. First that Forgotten Worlds will not play with a six button controller. Something about how Forgotten Worlds was made before the six button controller came out and that if you try and play the game it will start, load the first stage, then auto game over. Cont in next post

File: DSCN0769.jpg (1MB, 2816x2112px) Image search: [Google]

1MB, 2816x2112px

>>3472084
The other quirk is with Silpheed. When I get up to the first boss it has an error message and offers you a continue, then you start from the beginning of the stage. I was a little panicky thinking that the cd unit might be crapping out but I looked into it and this and it is a know problem. It looks like the cd unit can't process the data quickly enough and that is why it will glitch.

>>3472084
aladdin and alien storm had the same problem

>GameBoyLight
>~25 bucks

wut, I thought they were much more expensive

>>3472105
Huh, figures that it would crop up with some games. I guess future tech sometimes doesn't mesh well with the past tech. A little miffed that I found out after the fact since I was going to get Forgotten Worlds with manual and box at the same time I got the Genesis and Sega CD 2. Well the store owner was showing that the console indeed worked he was doing so using the six button controller in my first pic.

>>3469349
Not him, but not the first run, but the second edition, also it has Sunsoft's watermark which imho looks pretty bad (I also have that one).

I want to get a GBA SP to play my GB games, what kind of prices are considered good? I live in the EU.

>>3472084
Just hold down the mode shoulder button on the controller when you power on.

This turns it into a standard 3 button pad.

>>3472117
It was already pointed out that the computer where it was sold didnt have the gb light in their system, so it was priced as a normal Gameboy

>>3472206
Really, thanks anon.

>>3472191
Depends if it's a 001 or a 101.

001 goes for €20 beat-up to €50 pristine.
101 goes for far more.

It is, I just updated it and I'm gonna buy a memory card.

Curious to see what all is on it piracy recently became possible, like in the last week or less recent, but I'm sure emulators will be nice to see. Or at the very least it ought to play a few PS1 games better than my PSP did.

I was just playing jojo with a friend this weekend on my retropie using snes controllers. it's good enough to consider buying physical.
How much did you pay for the chrono trigger?

>>3476424

Yeah, I have a friend who uses Noppin extensively to buy Touhou stuff, and I just used it to buy a Super Famicom and the two SeTa shogi carts with the ST-011/ST-018 in them. Stuff can be a lot cheaper over there but keep in mind you're paying twice for shipping (once to Noppin's warehouse and once to the US) and also paying fees twice.

The final package from Japan that I was waiting for finally arrived today.

I now have all five SNES/SFC Goemon games (have Legend of the Mystical Ninja).
