/vr/ chink shit

I got my EverDrive N8 on AE, it kicks ass. I've bought a handful of Famicom multicarts on AE, they also kick ass. That place is a goldmine for retro gaming bootlegs and accessories.

I have some very exciting orders of a bootleg Trip World and replacement GBP battery covers. They're still on the way though.

They have $40 backlit GBA screens on there now, wonder if I should bother

I have bought bunch of shit from there, for example pic related, that red nes 150-in-1 multicart, mega drive everdrive..

So far no problems, quality varies from shit to acceptable but hey, its cheap.

I bought one of those yellow Famicom multicarts with Resident Evil on the label. I left Recca running on it overnight and it burned up.

Only cables

Looks like I'm going to need a GBA speaker though

>>3697234
Oh hey I have pretty much the same set of repros minus Superstar Saga.

Bought a bunch of adapters and USB knock-off NES, SNES and SEGA pads. It was 3 weeks ago, I hope it'll arrive soon and pads won't work like complete shit.

>>3696583
Is the GBA SP backlight screen compatible with the regular GBA or the frontlit SP?

Is this site legit? Id like to know ahead of time if Im getting bootlegs

>>3697543
The whole point of Aliexpress is to get cheap bootlegs. The site is legit, but don't go in expecting any legitimate games.

>>3697543
It's a store full of Chinese sellers. It's as legit as you can expect from Chinese sellers. Most of sellers have a reputation there and chance that you'll not get your stuff or you'll get a not working piece is pretty small. Most likely you'll get a replacement\money back.
Don't expect to get official Nintendo/Sony/Microsoft stuff there.

>>3697538
Yes.

>>3696492
I've bought a ton of stuff. Most was good quality. Hardly any was shit. Most problems were due to poor packing and damage during shipping. Most sellers are good about offering a refund or replacement if there's a problem. Occasionally I run into a fuckwit where I have to open a dispute. I've been given a refund by ali 100% of the time and leave 1 star feedback so others know not to deal with the cunt.

>>3696561
Does it play everything? Link?

>>3697667
Not him, but I have one. The best place to get them is here:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Custom-game-with-8g-card-free/32732017425.html?spm=2114.10010108.1000023.1.eJIFuO

Unfortunately they're out of the N8 (NES) model at the moment, so you'll have to either wait or buy one for a higher price on eBay or DHGate. Sorry. Knowing China I doubt it'll be out for longer than a month though.

It has very good compatibility with official carts, as far as I can tell it plays everything except games with weird/uncommon/Chinese mappers. I'm not sure about MMC5 compatibility, I know it plays Castlevania 3 but I've heard it has problems with some other MMC5 games. It plays all FDS games properly, which is great, but you won't hear the FDS audio channel without a hardware mod.

One thing I need to make clear: if your cart says "China version" on the label, DO NOT UPDATE THE FIRMWARE, EVER. It'll brick the device.

>>3697714
>official carts
Meant to say "official games".

>>3697714
It's better to use a Taobao agent and have him buy from here: http://junfangames.taobao.com/

The prices are similar but junfangames is an offical everdrive reseller listed on: https://krikzz.com/store/content/6-dealers

If you buy these you can actually run firmware updates. Because of his deal with krikzz he is not allowed to sell outside of China but an agent can take care of it for you.

>>3697543
The difference here is that you're getting bootlegs for the price that bootlegs are supposed to be.

Oh man Lik-Sang Plaza. I still have my Dr. GB xChanger.

>>3697714
How long did it take to receive?

>>3698197
It depends of where you live. Normally the stores can give you a possible date based on your location and which postal service you pick.

Speaking about postal service, NEVER pick the cheapest one: it doesn't include any tracking code (so you could check your parcel's delivery state) and things tend to "vanish" when you use this option as well.

>>3698306
>>3698197
Whenever you can choose aliexpress sellers that use the "e-packet" shipping method if you live in the US or Canada. If you want to see your shit in less than a month it's the way to go. The Taobao agent I go through uses it too. It's not exactly predictable, I've had stuff take only 1 week to get here using that and up to 3 weeks as well, but it's the best cheap method.

>>3698579
Not him, but how good/bad is China Post Registered Air Mail?

>>3698634

I expect the chink repros being a bit cheaper than 18 dollars. Also, why they fuck are they making repros of games nobody cares like Lufia 1 rather than Super Metroid. Finally, those multicarts cartridges look like shit, and for the price of 2 of them you can get the chinese everdrive on ebay which is much better. Im dissapointed with Aliexpress.

Is the EZ Flash IV reliable at all or is it super chink garbage?

>>3699158
>buying SNES repros

there's your problem dude. Ali is a Famicom, Genesis, and Game Boy zone. If you're going for SuFami you should just get an cheap, chinese EverDrive.

>>3699162
All GBA flash carts are chink garbage and they all work fine. My SuperCard miniSD still works and it's like 5 years old, and they're notoriously shitty. EZFlash seems to be the best aside from Krikzz new (hideously gigantic) offering.

>>3699201

dude i havent bought any repro. I said that if you are going to sell them, make them cheaper than 18 dollars, specially if they have chinese quality.

>>3699162
It works. Just don't be a dumbass like me and try to play games without patching them first and wonder why they're fucked up. Get the latest client from here: http://www.ezflash.cn/download/

EZ Flash IV is around $20 on Taobao right now if you really want to be cheap.

>>3699206
You're not getting it. SNES repros are for plebs, unless you're trying to play Starfox 2, then you won't find what you're looking for at ali. If you want to play SNES games you get a flash cart.

For anyone considering the ez flash iv, it's cheaply built and the side with the SD card doesn't stay snapped in. This is actually really helpful because otherwise it's a fucking bitch to get the card in the slot. Just don't accidentally drop it inside of the cartridge. The slot itself is spring loaded which is the only nice thing about it's design really.

I stupid amounts of money dropshipping from AliExpress and China Post kinda sucks, but will get you your product. It will just take a while. China is about to go on a long holiday so expect like 2 months wait. ePacket is much better and is often free on AliExpress. I've seen shipments take 7 days to get to my customer's door in the US, however they can also take over a month near the holiday season.

I almost always go for the cheapest shipping whenever I buy online, but ePacket is usually like $1.50-$3.00 and is definitely worth it imo. China Post is fine though too.

>>3699337
wasn't it confirmed to be fake?

Something is very wrong here. Unless you're getting a box & manual or some shit, these repos should not cost more than 5-10 bucks.

>>3699874
They know about the meme prices of the SNES market. Also you pay a lot more if the game has a working battery save. Like for instance there were $8 repros of Earthbound on aliexpress but it didn't come with a battery and saving wouldn't work even if you managed to solder one in yourself.

Who the fuck would even sell these if you can't even add your own battery let along save?

>>3700048
People were buying them so...

>>3700048
Think of it like this, there's a chain here. The guys on aliexpress bought these in bulk from taobao sellers: https://world.taobao.com/item/541717415688.htm?spm=a312a.7700714.0.0.B7l0d2#detail

They sell with a mark up on aliexpress to ebay sellers.

Stupid normies buy them on ebay for $30-50.

People don't know about that foreigner tax.

I'd love to see some new Chinese flashcarts with the same amount of research & development that went into the Everdrives, even with assistance from the retro community to ensure high quality and compatibility right out of the gate and competitive prices to boot.

I already know about the clones but I just want an SNES flash cart with higher compatibility with special chip games and NES carts with higher mapper support on top of more accurate emulation of special audio chips. Krizz should've just delayed the release of those carts until more even games were supported, those prices for the official ones are kinda hard to swallow all things considered.

I want to add a bit more to this. Most retro gamers are a bunch of trend following hipster numbskulls. This even goes for all the holier than thou faggots on /vr/. They see some fat faggot neckbeard on youtube showing off his "haul" of shit from aliexpress and this legitimizes aliexpress in their minds. Ali becomes the end all be all source of Chinese crap. They don't realize they're getting fleeced by resellers and could save a ton by going to Taobao. If you try to explain the process of using a Taobao agent to order things they get the impression it's overly complicated. Like showing your average PC user a command prompt.

At some point these youtubers will start talking about this stuff and these shitters will catch on, driving the prices up there too. All the while the Aliexpress sellers already have established business relationships with the factories making repros so they don't see any negative effect. The endless march of trendy retro gaming faggotry continues.

>>3700070
Just buy from junfangame. You get official everdrives with Chinese prices. The sd2snes he sells isn't exactly "official" but it will give you updates and every feature except maybe MSU-1 audio.

>>3700072
Nice, I forgot about this. Are these identical in every way sans the labels and packaging? Can you safely update these with official firmware and unofficial mapper updates. Is there a guide floating around on how to purchase? I can't read Chinese ;_;

>>3700087
They may not be exactly identical, they are made in China instead of by krikzz in the Ukraine. You can safely update the official firmware. In some cases this has bricked a few of the older units, hopefully krikzz will be more careful about this in the future. The downside of this is that you will have to send your unit back to China in the event something breaks, krikzz won't touch it since he didn't make it. Not all of the everdrives are all that much cheaper than the Chinese counterpart either, so you should compare prices and make sure it makes sense for you to order one from there.

To order you can just find any taobao agent. I found mine by searching taobao on ebay, his listing is here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ubuy18-Taobao-China-Buying-Purchase-Agent-Package-Forwarding-shipping-shopping/162328755826

I just talk to him on Skype, I tell him what I want, he gives me a price and takes a picture of it when it arrives at his place then ships it to me.

>>3700071
>some fat faggot neckbeard on youtube showing off his "haul" of shit from aliexpress
Show me 4 (four) instances of even reasonably popular youtubers doing this.

No one fucking shows off Chinese repro crap on youtube.

>>3700071
By that logic all retro gamers should just emulate so that nothing /vr/-related could become expensive. Heck, you might as well just drop retro games as a hobby and do something else instead.

>>3700154
The point is to pay attention. If you can get better things for the same price or cheaper do it. If something seems like a fucking meme it probably is. Do you really need a pre-TMSS Genesis if you're just going to plop a Chinese Everdrive into it? You could pay half for the exact same thing sound/video wise with TMSS. Do you need to take an RGB modded SNES mini over a regular 1CHIP SNES? All this blind following and trying to get what people are saying is the best thing is what leads to these high prices in the first place. There's a lot of bitching about said prices but not a lot of actual thought being put into getting the best deal for your money.

>>3699874
>prices should be what i say they should be. No more than a week or two allowance.
kek

>>3700070
You'd like to see the Chinese reverse engineer old Chinese copiers and add swap the floppy for SD? lol. Get a UFO then. at least krikzz is trying and slowly making improvements. The Chinese haven't improved their shit in decades.

>>3700369
Fuck off faggot, $18 bucks for a repro containing a single game IS a rip-off. If it contains multiple games, fine, i'll give you that much.

>>3698014
Bought more from these fucks than I should have.

>>3700056
This.

Anyone looking for an HDMI to Composite/S-Video Converter should order from Aliexpress and save $20+ USD. They're over $40 when they pop up on eBay. I know because I bought one on eBay for $48.

The GB games are actually good?

I've thought about buying a bootleg or two but I'm terrified by the thought of putting one in my GB and somehow it turns out to be shit and fries my GB altogether...

>>3700072
The SD2SNES is open source, literally any one produced to the correct spec is 'official'.

>>3700543
Most of the clones aren't quite correct though... Again everything but MSU-1

>>3700546
The MSU-1 isn't a real SNES chip, so that shouldn't matter. Who would want to listen to 'homebrew' audio anyway? Just play a CD while you emulate, literally the same thing.

>>3700534
I've never heard of this happening with flash carts. It's not even possible, I think.

But it is a possibility with microchips, processors, and other components. So, the average /vr/ shouldn't worry, but maybe be more careful if you're /g/.

>>3700548
That's how I felt which is why I ordered mine from junfangames.

>>3700549
There are Metroid passwords that can fry your NES aren't there? Always a remote possibility but that's why you buy a GB Boy Colour

>>3700554

I never heard of this. Interesting if true, but I fail to see the mechanism.

>>3700534
This will not happen. Bootlegs for the Game Boy and Famicom have been manufactured for decades, it's not rocket science.

My EverDrive N8 'China Version' is rad and I have a lot of fun with it. /vr/ is literally the only board I use, and do you actually speak to a human when you order a pizza? That's just weird.

I linked you because you know what you're talking about, I just provided an alternate solution that worked well for me.

Furthermore, updates are pretty irrelevant because Krikkz has all but abandoned the firmware on his products. The N8 hasn't had an update that added compatibility since October, and most of the other EverDrives have't been updated in years (looking at you Turbo EverDrive).

>>3700637
I'm just sperging because I'm hyped the fuck up about some /sp/ thread so I'm in full on shitposting mode. Any pizza that is actually worth eating you will have to talk to a human to be able to order. If it's not chain shit they may or may not have online ordering but the reliability and pricing (specials? lol no) will leave much to be desired.

Even when there hasn't been any updates for awhile you're still stuck with the latest update from when the clone was released.

>>3699543
I have no idea. Wouldn't be surprised.

>>3700641
haha, that's fair. To be real though I order all the good local pizza in my city using foodler and get specials and shit through there.

Regarding firmware I'm just pissy about the lack of updates on my real Turbo EverDrive, it's kind of turned me off from Krikzz. There's literally 2 versions. It's like, come on man, give us savestates or CD-ROM2 support or something.

Some cheap SNES multicarts for people who aren't happy with the aliexpress prices.

I was wondering if anyone had any cheap properly wired S-video cables for the SNES, N64, or Game Cube.

>>3700987
It's the same cable for all three. I bought the one without the Composite dongle, but I don't think it makes any difference.

They're like $2 USD on AE, and about $10 USD on eBay.

>>3697543
Ali has buyer protection that they strive to maintain, if you can believe it.

>>3700895
Might order one of those then. Anyone know what MD Everdrive version that Taobao sells? I see Krikzz sells x7, x5, and x3.

>>3698014

Triggered.

Fuck you.

>>3701774
He sells the x7 but only in a package deal with the sd2snes. I'm annoyed that I didn't notice that before I went ahead and ordered my sd2snes. The one he sells separately is just a "V3" which I guess is the older one before the x series started? It's dirt cheap but I kinda want the x7 so I don't have to reset to save.

Can I buy from taobao? I see theyre selling a GBC flash cart for 360 yen and I'm really interested in buying that

>>3702661
Yeah just find a taobao agent and link them to the item, they will give you a price.

>>3702661
That's Yuan not Yen. Better check your conversion, it's not as cheap as you think.

>>3700603
So how much would it cost to have some chinese guy buy it for me and then ship it to me? An Everdrive is $120 on average everywhere I've checked that's linked on Krikkz's website, and if it's only going to be like $10 cheaper to do it this way I'd rather save myself the hassle.

>>3702703
360 yuan is roughly 50 bucks, at most you will pay $10 for shipping and handling but it will probably be a bit less than that. If you are going to do it this way make sure you pick junfangames so you get an official one.

>>3700935
The only difference with those is the colo(u)r of the motherboard (it says that in the item description).

>>3702710
Really? Only $10? I've ordered some things from Japan before through a proxy and it was expensive as hell,

>>3702784
Probably less. E-packet shipping is extremely cheap and fairly fast.

>>3701962
Is it this one? https://world.taobao.com/item/542652823984.htm?fromSite=main&spm=a312a.7700824.w4004-1197810513.48.fAYpwp
That's not a bad price for both of those cards, and if it's the x7 even better. How's the sd2snes they sell? Is it an official clone and able to be updated as well?

>>3702901
Yeah that's it. The sd2snes is produced without the blessing of krikzz. That doesn't really matter because the project is completely open source and everything you need to make one is on github. This means updates work just fine. It may or may not have MSU-1 audio support though.

>>3701716
It does matter if it's wired wrong. What they do is connect the S-video to the compost and it causes a pattern to show up

>>3702914
What exactly is MSU-1 and why is it so important? Looking it up it looks like it's a modern custom sound processor made by byuu. I don't think any official games would support that, would they?

>>3702786
Even though someone's acting as a middle man and buying it for me, it's still that cheap? I don't think I'm going to get a better deal than a sub-$100 updateable Everdrive, I think I'll go for it.

>>3702914
Cool, glad updates work on the sd2snes, and I can live without the msu-1 audio since it's not really official anyways. Since a Chinese person needs to buy it, how can we go about that? >>3700093 mentions an eBay listing with a taobao agent. Do we buy this listing or just contact their Skype in the listing? I'm very interested but I don't want to get ripped off either. Also what >>3703159 said.

>>3700859
Thanks, just bought it for the lulz. Im also interested in getting Green Version but would like to know if it saves as well. Also, how reliable has the saving been for you, lile has it corrupted before or is it still going strong?

>>3703125
Nope just hacked roms to add CD quality sound.

>>3703194
I buy from that guy and I always just talk to him on Skype. You can tell he's legit from the ebay feedback. I gave him some myself after buying before.

I wish I had known this link. As I recently decided to Aliexpress some bootlegs for my bootleg machine pictured here (as I will not have bootlegs touch my actual machines). I have been having fun with Panorama Cotton, which is nice for $3 shipped, but a really cheap bootleg everdrive will suffice for this crap machine.


>>3698014
Dammit, they were the primary place to get Treamcast systems, wish I had known back then that I would want a Treamcast now (for the sweet controllers).


>>3697760
I have a co-worker who has family in China. Wonder how I can tell her to do me a favor. As legit everdrives sound nice, but Google says 1USD=6.95 Chinese Yuan so it is almost 50% off from krikzz prices for the Mega Everdrive X7 + SD2SNES ... tempting, but now I will really have to save.

>>3704128
There's really no reason to not use bootlegs on your real consoles.

No, my consoles are pure and I will not have a dirty Chinese bootleg game be inserted into them. Plus that bootleg clone console only does S-video and composite so it's hooked up to a cheap CRT TV (Admiral brand!) for a side setup.

Actually, those are Genesis controllers the clone console came with, they are just in the shape of a SNES controller. The clone console also ports to accept actual SNES and NES controllers but those are only for their respective systems, but the Genesis ports work for all systems on the clone console. Here you can see some Genesis controllers, sometimes they can be shaped like SNES ones.

A Chinese everdrive would be roughly the same price. LSDJ had some issues with the everdrive though:

http://krikzz.com/forum/index.php?topic=1617

If that's what your main application for a flash cart would be you are far better off with that. The price isn't even far off if you buy it from kitsch bent, just $42.

>>3700865
I have one, it's actually fucking great. The screen ratio is off, but you won't notice in standard gameplay. The backlight is fucking awesome and the thing has Tetris built right into it!

You don't have to buy the listing, you can just talk to him. I just buy it so I can give him feedback.

Gotcha, I'll try that. Thanks anon. Another question, how much do they charge for this service and shipping to the US?

>>3704691
$6 seems to be the price everywhere. I found Game & Watch Gallery for like $4.32 or something. you could get one of the multi carts with all of the Pokemon games for $14 if you're looking for the most bang for the buck. Also, is that an english copy of Green, if so you got a link?

I couldn't resist any longer; I just ordered one and an english Last Bible II bootleg. The GB Boy Colour looks too rad, and it was like $28.

I also bought both of these for about $18cdn. The Chrono Trigger didn't come with a battery so all you had to do was open the game and slide a specific watch battery ($2 for like a 6 pack) into the slot.

I think Grandia is a GBC exclusive game, meaning it won't work on a Super Game Boy. I kind of wish they didn't put them in original GB carts so it was easier to tell, but eh.

While wages in China started to increase, right now they are still rather low compared to the west, so there is that.
And everything is mass produced, which makes it even cheaper. Combine that with a broad selection of products, cut out the "middle man" (to a degree) and voila.
There is a reason everyone has his crap made by the chinks, and now they found a way to profit off this even more.

>>3705397
No problem, anon. Glad I could help.

>>3700159
>save $5 by buying on taobao
>pay $10 to the taobao agent

>>3706352
The extra $5 I pay is worth it because I get an official everdrive that can actually be updated though.

How likely is it that this Chinese crap has lead in the plastic?

>>3707627
Don't eat your video games.

>>3707680
Hope you don't rub your eyes after touching your leadgames

>>3707707
Everything else is made in China now anyway so it's pretty much unavoidable. Even if it was assembled somewhere else who do you think made the plastic case?

>>3700865
So I just got the GBA SP-shaped version because it was cheaper (should still be, around $18).

I should be more irritated at the bad aspect ratio, but really the screen is too small and GB games too simple to be that upsetting. So go for it.

ANOTHER FUCKING POKEMON QUESTION:
Does anyone have the GS carts and do they have a working clock?

>>3707797
They absolutely do not. Some gbc flash carts have RTC but definitely not everdrive. GBA everdrive has it.

Before you ask Pokemon Ruby, emerald, and sapphire bootlegs don't have RTC either. Consider them junk and don't buy them. Fire Red and Leaf Green don't have RTC so it's okay to buy bootlegs or play them off cheap ass flash carts.

>>3707996
Is there absolutely no RSE bootleg with a functioning RTC? I bought a Platinum bootleg two years ago and it has all functionalities a legit cart would have, even the trickiest ones like Wii connection and so on.

>>3707996
>Implying you don't just change the clock when you need to

>>3708006
Yes. It's far easier/cheaper to clone a DS card than it is extra functionality in a cartridge. This is why the flash carts that support these things are more expensive.

>>3708007
If they patched it properly. Not really worth it imo. You can still get a good deal on the real thing if you look around. Best to do that before the prices on the most common cartridges in the entire Gameboy library shoot up to even more retarded levels.

>>3708008
How disappointing. Do you know if Gen III -> Gen IV transfer has a chance to work on these bootlegs anyway?

>>3708013
It will probably work. Playability depends on how glitchy the patched rom they used is.

>>3708014
Thanks, I'll buy one anyway, they're 5 dollars or something.

Yea... I thought it might be. Thank you.

>>3708008
You don't need to clone a $0.5 off the shelf part dingus.

>>3704698
Apart from the feel of the plastic and the fact that the cartridge says "GAME" and not "Nintendo Gameboy" it's pretty solid. If you want to be a purest, just get a replacement shell, paint it green, soften the glue on the label and transfer it and install the board in it.

>>3708018
Thanks to the anon who recommended the Taobao agent earlier, this will come out to $235 for everything (item, fees, shipping). I'm in the US, if that helps. Going to place my order very soon. My only issue I have is will Krikzz support the X7 if something goes wrong in the future.

>>3708327
He will give you software support. If anything goes wrong with the hardware it will probably have to go back to China.

>>3708232
Recently I was searching for replacement Game Boy cartridge shells after I accidentally busted a real one. I spent a long time searching, but I couldn't find one that didn't say "GAME" on the top.

Is there a reason for that? Do they only have one mould in China or something? It makes no sense to me.

>>3708409
It's solely to protect against copyright infringement, and yeah, they're probably all using the same mold.

>>3708409
honestly if you really want replacement shells get a donor cart. Buy shitty gba games in bulk. clean up the shells, respray.

Does anyone know if they sell quality N64 clones? I really want to give some use to my recently restored Funtastic Artic Blue N64.

>>3708786
Nigga Nintendo themselves couldn't make a quality N64.

>>3708786

>>3708786
Yeah, they're on AliExpress now. I just started seeing them pop up recently.

>>3708884
You had it right the first time.

>>3705168
So you can just slide in a battery? No soldering or any shit like that? I've heard that just putting one in isn't enough for it to be functional

>>3710454
Some bootlegs have like a battery holder, others are soldered on. Either way, you should be able to handle it. It's like caveman soldering we're talking about here.

To the anon who bought everdrives off Junfangames with the Taobao agents, how long did it take for it to arrive to you? I'm speaking with an agent and he's telling me it might be a few weeks because of shipments.

>>3710454
I have yet to order an SNES game where I had to solder the battery. The games have holders where you slide the battery in. Chrono Trigger is saving great with no issues.

>>3712318
I used e-packet shipping in 2015 and got my package in 2 weeks. I used it again this time and it's taken more than 2 weeks. It's at the "Processed through facility" step right now. I'm guessing it's because I decided to order during Christmas time. Will probably be worse when Chinese New Year comes along.

>>3712324
There are a few there on Aliexpress that don't work even if you solder in a battery. It's best to read the feedback before you order.

>>3712398
Never had any problems with that. The guy I use keeps me updated every step of the way. He takes a picture when it arrives at his place, provides multiple options for shipping, quickly ships and provides a tracking number. He even refunded me 80 cents when the shipping price was lower than what he actually quoted me (even though I wouldn't have given a single fuck.)

>>3708341
Don't have the source but I do rememeber reading a post Krikzz made on his forum saying that if someone sent him a legit china edition he would try to fix it.

>>3713583
He said the opposite on another post though. It's probably not best to bet on that.

>>3712932
I've never used a knock-off that wasn't kind of shit compared to an original controller.

That said, the shells and PCBs are usually fine if you have a broken 1st-party game pad. Just reuse the plastic and rubber guts in the 3rd party one and it will usually feel every bit as good as an original.

>>3713591
This isn't clear due to my wording. Sorry.

I mean the 3rd party shells and PCBs are fine. Discard the 3rd-party plastic and rubber bits that make the buttons and dpad work. Those are the parts from the original pads that make them feel so great.

>>3713568

They both have the exact same title. Can't read the description page because it's blocked outside of China. Would be really nice if I could find a good Chinese proxy.

>>3714125
Actually I'm wrong, one is "standard edition" and the more expensive one is "advanced edition" according to Google Translate.

>>3705167
They took 10 days for me, they literally did it the last hour of processing

>>3700865
I liked mine so much i bought a second one so we and the wife could both play in bed. The asoect ratio is a bit off and the dpad is a bit buggy. It does not pick up if you roll around the corners sometimes making some of the more demanding games very frustrating. For playing most games its great.

Chinese Everdrive, scart cables and a couple of repros. Only the repros are shit.

>>3715672
Can't you swap the d-pad with a pocket or color one?

>>3700865
I just ordered one now that I'm rediscovering Game Boy RPGs. Got the clear green, and even ordered a matching replacement shell for a GBA with a beat up screen lens that I bought for $20 at a local /vr/ shop. I'm really excited for both, thought I'm expecting the GBA shell to be kind of thin and flexy. I might just end up using the screen protector if it feels too shitty.

>>3699323
ezflash iv is fine software-wise, though. I've had good luck with goomba and pocketnes, as well as native GBA titles.

So I have a question regarding repros. A little while back I stupidly bought overpriced mother 1+2 and mother 3 repro carts from a vendor at a small game convention. They had noticable slowdown and the audio, especially playing mother 1, was off. Pretty shitty desu. I asked for them to send me a replacement and they did. Exact same issues. I called it quits and didn't chase it up after that.

My question being, is it normal for repros, in this case gba repros, to not be 1:1 identical or did I make a mistake and bought from some hacks who don't know how to flash a rom to a cart properly? I'd like to buy some repros but I don't want to waste money. I can't overlook issues like that.

>>3714037
that's what? 70 US dollars? Is it the same?

>>3717319
Or what, you're out $10? They'll work fine. Bootlegs are fun.

>>3717470
Bootlegs will keep retro gaming alive for decades to come. It's a scene born out of necessity, and is still many in the 3rd world's introduction to gaming. It's a very good thing that there are still factories churning out 100,000s of clone consoles and games.

>>3717616
The MOTHER 1+2 repros are notoriously bad, also those versions of the games fucking suck anyway. MOTHER 3 has built-in slowdown in spots due to bugs with the translation that they couldn't fix, probably exacerbated by slow flash chips. It plays with the same issues on my SuperCard.

>>3717939
Well damn that's a shame to hear. I had a good time playing 1+2 on my wii emulator. Just wanted a decent cart version but I guess that's out the window. Thanks for the info.

>>3717470
You sound like a faggot. Repros may have no collectible value but bootlegs do. I collect them and have some worth quite a bit.

>>3718023
I'll clarify a little; I actually own a japanese MOTHER 1+2 cart, and when I got my bootleg, I noticed the sound was fucking terrible on the bootleg. So that was my experience, and I don 't care for the port either... I mean for like $6 or whatever, it could be cool for a playthrough if you're into playing it on the GBA.

>>3716517
>Now if only I could find a Mario Advance 4 rom that didn't have glitchy sound or constant freezing, I'd be happy.

I tested this one: http://www.emuparadise.me/Nintendo_Gameboy_Advance_ROMs/Super_Mario_Advance_4_-_Super_Mario_Bros._3_(U)(Trashman)/45399

Like I said before you need to patch it! Make sure you're using the ezclient from http://www.ezflash.cn/download/ to patch all your roms. Some of them might work without it but many will be fucked up so it's better to make sure you always patch before you play rather than playing through and finding out your save file is gone.

Also advice for anyone who is using ezflash, you need to immediately shut the GBA off and turn it back on after saving your game then wait for it to write your save file to the SD card. If you don't your save might be lost.

>>3717935
Do you think the romhack carts distributed on sites like AliExpress are common in those countries?

>>3718938
I lived in the Philippines and there were a lot of strange bootleg carts around. That stuff wasn't really popular though. The PSP was fucking huge, you saw kids everywhere playing them. They could be found pretty cheap (like $30) and any moron could fill up a memory stick with pirated games.

I remember walking down some street by my ex girlfriend's church and seeing kids by the side of the road gathered around an original xbox playing Super Mario Bros 3. It was funny to me because I was doing the same thing with my little brother and some other family members using my softmodded xbox a few years before back in the US.

>>3718947
I was referring to stuff like Super Mario 3Mix.

>>3718949
I never saw anything like that. Mostly multicarts. Many from those weird Chinese devs that made their own GBA games. I wanted to buy some but they were always priced like real games so that kept me away.

>ordered cheap chink clones of pads in November
>ordered ibuffalo from jap store on ebay December 28th
>ibuffalo is already in my city and I'll receive it in a few days tops
>chink pads are still in china
WEW. I want to compare them already, but looks like it won't happen until February.

>>3718934
I just press the reset button on my Game Cube (with a Game Boy Player, obviously), and it does the same thing. It reminds me of when I used to play on my old NES.

>>3719052
Chinese shipping got fucked up over Christmas. I run a business dropshipping from Ali and shit sucked.

>>3720483
All the stuff I ordered from Ali in December seems to be trickling in now which isn't unusual. Waiting for the e-packet shipment of my SD2SNES to leave China is driving me crazy though.

>>3720483

What are the chances I can dupe my local asshole retro seller into buying some repos of expensive games?

>>3720529
You'd need to sell him something moderately expensive and see if he checks out the PCB.

>>3720529
Make sure to throw them in some dirt and kick it around some for that vintage look.

>>3700859
I got pokemon Crystal from that store and it saves just fine, but for whatever RTClock support is busted. No clue why. Even replaced the battery thinking it was just shit and that didn't fix it.

>>3722570
Bootlegs never have RTC support. For this reason I don't recommend buying Gold, Silver, Crystal, Sapphire, Ruby, or Emerald this way. Stick to Blue, Red, Yellow, Fire Red, and Leaf Green.

>>3718951
I can't recall if I ever saw Super Mario 3Mix but I did see plenty of other hacks there. Until recently there was a shop in the SM cyberzones that had tons of that shit. Last trip they were gone or just selling cellphone stuff.
Game prices in the failippines are shit for most stuff. The only time you find a good deal on something not second hand is in a bargain bin with random shit they've had on the shelves for 10 years and want to get rid of. The previous trip I picked up half a dozen pokemans hacks for 100 pissos each.

>>3722694
The second hand market is incredible though. It looks like it's starting to dry up a bit but being able to get a mix of NTSC US/JAP + PAL stuff is awesome.

>>3722694
Reminder that as far as I know all carts with Super Mario 3Mix on them use the first public release that you can get from Romhacking.net. Get the latest version from Southbird's website and ask them to use that instead.

I got a couple N64 carts off Ali, Ocarina of Time Master Quest being one of them, but it doesn't save and a battery can't be added. It only keeps a save if the console is kept plugged in and the cart left in.

As with anything, buyer beware, you're in for a scare

>>3724139
Damn how much did you pay for that?

>>3724139
can you post picture of its PCB?

>>3722695
It's better than the US but it's pretty small. Where it's really good is arcade shit. Filipinos are like the anti-Japanese when it comes to taking care of their shit so it gets shitted up pretty fast. Very few people know how to repair cabs. You can pick up a candy cab with missing or fucked up sticks covered in shit but otherwise perfectly fine for $100-$200.

>>3722983
Should I also walk into the grocery store and tell them I want them to milk a specific cow for me? Yeah, the girl at the counter for minimum wage could totally change the ROM for me. kek

>>3724181
When I've bought carts on AliExpress, they've always been willing to do custom carts. Just replacing the ROM without making a new label or anything would be simpler.

>>3724139
I'd buy the Master Quest Debug version on a cartridge.

>>3724181
It used to be a lot bigger when I was living there a couple years ago. You could find so much shit on sulit (before it became OLX.) I'm kinda regretting not buying shit before I came home but I was spending my money traveling around Luzon and chasing girls instead.

>>3717935
My only issue with famiclones is that 90% of them are pure trite in recreating the experience. I think I've written longer essays talking about how gay the @tgames consoles are for Genesis games than I have for my thesis paper

GBA repros are shit, that's all. GBC repros however are actually decent so if you want a physical copy of Shantae 1 then go for it

>>3724139
>it doesn't save
>keeps a save if the console is kept plugged in and the cart left
It sounds like you might be retarded. If you can muster the mental capacity to explain what's actually happening maybe someone can help. If it really doesn't have the ability to save I'm interested to know more. I have a save device that should handle saves for it and I'd be curious to test it and see if it works. If it does I could potentially make many jew golds by copying it or using the design to produce superior chink bootlegs.

>>3724194
>i didn't read the post i relied to
Well that splains it

>>3724224
Stuff on sulit was mostly a bunch of resellers. They had good stock and prices that were cheap compared to US resellers. But they were still silly compared to other places in Asia. 99% of the individuals selling there just had xbox shit. Of course now it's complete shit.

>chasing girls

I have a repro of Mother 3 and it's fine. Maybe it depends on the seller/factory.

>>3724330
Beyond those resellers you could find a bunch of random people with stuff brought in from various countries. Stuff OFWs sent in the balikbayan boxes back in the day. Speaking of xbox I found a fucking xbox dev kit on there last time I looked. How the fuck did that get there?

There are lots of easy girls yes, but they are mostly trashy. If they are desperate for foreign dick it's probably for financial reasons. I didn't understand that until like 1 year into my stay. I always say it's better to find a girl that never even thought of fucking a foreigner and convince her it's a good idea than to find one that's all over you. My first relationship with a Filipina was a disaster and my last one was a virgin when I met her and is now my fiancee.

>>3724139
Please open up the cart and show us what it looks like inside. It may be possible to insert a battery pretty easily.

I don't wholly disagree, but Famiclones aren't really that bad. They certainly have better sound than those AtGames Genny-clones at the very least.

>>3696492

they wouldn't happen to sell PS1/PS2 repros would they? I really wanna buy some of these repros honestly but I have to find a game I really wanna play

>>3725678
You absolutely can. This has been confirmed by krikzz himself.

>>3725719
CD repros aren't really a thing yet

>>3725729

it's a fuckin shame, PS1 and PS2 have a great library and I'd love to play them on original hardware on my CRT, I'd buy Klonoa or something in a heartbeat, and the prices are skyrocketing too, I saw Silent Hill 2 for like 50 bux yesterday at my local retro shop. I told him I have a copy of MML2, he said $225. He also said "don't sell it, it'll be worth $300 before you know it."

>>3725737
You're just gonna have to stick with swap discs or HDD boot. Also retail is known to gouge prices hard as shit don't take his word for anything just look up the current going prices on amazon and ebay to track the actual current values.

>>3725747

oh yeah now that I look at it he's full of shit, huh, I really like these guys but it seems that they're just jacking up their own prices, one dude even mentioned that they were refusing to lower prices lately even if games aren't selling, maybe people around here are dumb enough to pay 225 for MML2

>>3724354
I saw that dev kit as well. I'm guessing it got there when someone tried to setup a game development company there and it failed when all their equipment was "borrowed"

Every relationship with a Filipina will end up being a disaster. Virginity isn't a fix. I can say that from experience. Maybe if you found a girl who was the sole survivor of a flood that wiped out her entire village and was then educated over seas you'd have someone without all that baggage and a bit of common sense.

Congrats an your engagement. Welcome to hell.

Just for fun I decided to take a look inside this Trip World cart I got off Aliexpress, to see if I could figure out what's going on inside.

Top left chip:
http://www.alldatasheet.com/datasheet-pdf/pdf/55493/AMD/AM29LV160DT-90EC.html
2MB of flash memory. Seems simple enough.

Bottom left chip:
http://www.alldatasheet.com/datasheet-pdf/pdf/2439/MOSEL/V62C3161024L-70T.html
128KB of ultra-low power SRAM, obviously powered by the big-ass CR2025 up there. 128KB seems excessive for the GB, but whatever.

No idea what could be under that glop-top though. My only guess is it's something that functions similarly to the MBC in official Game Boy carts.

In any case I doubt this shit costs more than $1 to produce. Fairly good quality though, aside from the jizz-like soldering.

>>3724139
Doesn't save unless it's left in the console..but you can turn off the console? What?

>>3726851
He probably meant that it only saves as long as the console is powered on

>>3725729
Top kek kid. Just because they stopped making them before you were born doesn't mean they aren't a thing "yet".

>>3727014
Those required swap/mod chip though didn't they?

>>3713568
Who is the guy you use? I buy from Ali all the time. But, have always wanted to give Taobao a try. I need a good agent like yours to trust.

>>3727173
see
>>3700093

>>3727124
Nope. Identical to an original except for the shitty printing on the top. Sure, there were also CD-Rs that needed swap/mod shit. I remember the stories about how they could cut the security rings off legit saturn discs with a laser and weld them to copies to do this. Obviously Edgars grandpappys work. kek

>>3716578
It looks like it could be used for playing beatmania

>>3727173
I used this agent >>3700093 and it's going so far like that anon said. You tell them what you want to buy from Taobao, they'll give you a quote, you pay, it arrives, they send pics >>3724683, arrange the shipping, and then wait. I'll post on here when they arrive. So far the process has been simple, and I was concerned about the language barrier.

>>3727421
Messaged this agent, thanks to everybody for the advice. The GB Boy Colour has piqued my interest. I may wind up buying it on Aliexpress though, as it's only about $6 cheaper on taobao and I'm not sure how much that trouble is worth.

So I'm also wondering if that guide will work for junfungames as well.

It's actually real good but I've only played a friends. The D pad problem is an issue though as mentioned.

I still prefer GBA SP and don't mind the stretched screen so I have not bought a GB Boy Color.

>>3727820
He won't ship outside of China. Many of the description pages for his items aren't even allowed to be viewed outside of China. It's part of his deal with krikzz. This activity should be considered grey market and an agent is definitely required.

Yes, it works. It has some issues compared to the everdrive (need to patch roms using their application before using them, need to reset to save, no real time clock.) But it's way cheaper ($20 instead of $70+)

A couple of bootlegs showed up. For under $4USD each shipped, I am enyjoying the novelty of the bootleg setup in my dungeon/sexnasium at this time. It will take about a half a year for me to save up to order those junfangames sd2snes and mega x7 combo from the largest Chinatown in the world.

Why would you bother buying a flashcart for a retron? May as well go for a retropie.

>>3729801
I think poorfag-kun has real consoles, that's just his bootleg zone. He has previously stated that he's not into 'mixing' bootlegs with his real hardware. Not to mention that using a flashcart on a hardware clone is still more legit than a RetroPi rig.

>>3729823
Not really when they're both using the same emulators.

>>3729801
Contrary to popular belief, I actually do have fun playing games. This bootleg system is a hardware clone and not just software emulators, so the Super Retro Trio does support the flashcarts, and if the Chinese ones are comparable to the Ukrainian ones, it would be nice to play a variety of games. The individual bootlegs, does provide an ASMR feeling with the clacking of cartridges along with the sensations of inserting a game (turning the system on with no load times right into a game). I already have a couple dedicated emulation devices dumbphone and side computer.

>>3729823
Yeah, I did state earlier in >>3704192
that I am adverse to doing so, I am considering sacrificing one of these Super Game Boys into my bootleg console as a "condom" for Gameboy games, only because I have two of them. Maybe if I could ever afford two flash carts, might I consider one for the actual systems and one for the bootleg system. Admittedly I've been jealous of those RetroPi builds people do with aftermarket parts: https://youtu.be/dV-W23lONI4


>>3729905
Well, the clone system I have I don't think uses the same emulator. It is supposedly a bunch of hardware clones, like a Nintendo on a chip, Genesis on a chip, etc. As described here: https://youtu.be/i9y12oIwCE0

>>3724683
Does that SD2SNES support MSU-1?

>>3729905
>>3729914 and I are correct. They are hardware clones, not software emulators. Very few clone consoles actually use software emulation. It's way more expensive to do then a SoaC.

>>3729926
Probably not.

Oh, sorry. Didn't know Retron actually made hardware clones.

>>3730409
It's totally cool hombre, it's a common misconception. Both kinds exist; SoaC clones are just way, way cheaper and more common. And they're also real hardware in a way that a software emulator cannot be, so that's why I said they're marginally 'more legit'.

The company which makes the Retron, Hyperkin, did make hardware clones with the Retron 1, 2, and 3, but their 5 system switched over to be an android based stolen emulation/frontend machine. So the 5 was shit in my eyes, plus it was not affordable, unlike the Retrobit Super Retro Trio which was $50USD (and I will admit that too was a regret purchase, only somewhat justified by my now purchase of cheap Chinese bootleg games in >>3729778 image).

I will say that Hyperkin does make a 6-button Genesis controller called the GN6 available in a USB or DB9 (Genesis, Master System, 2600 port) which is 95% close to a real US Sega Genesis controller. That is superior to those Chinese bootleg "Fighting Putt" which is 2% like the real thing (possibly some of the worst controllers I've used), funny enough that video I linked earlier about the clone consoles shows off a "Fighting Putt" when talking about a Genesis 6-button pad about 08:39 in (which is godawful and surprising the guy compliments it).

So bootleg Chinese /vr/ stuff are hit and miss to me.

Thanks for the recommendation on the GN6. I bought the fighting putt for $4 because I didn't want to pay $20 for a used 6 button controller, it was shit but at least it allowed me to test the Genesis I bought. $10 seems a little bit more reasonable.

>>3730874
Buy an SD2SNES Super Nintendo flash cart from krikzz's website for only $197.00USD.
It supports a wide range of SNES enhancement chips including DSP1, 2, 3, 4, Cx4, and MSU-1 for CD quality audio to be injected in SNES games, and it will also support the oft-requested SA-1 and Super FX enhancement chips in the near future with new downloadable updates which are only available on official krikzz flash carts.

>>3731324
This is partially incorrect. Updates work fine for non-krikzz carts. The SD2SNES project is open source and anybody can build one if they want. Ikari has no interest in putting in updates that will brick clone carts like krikzz does. These carts tend not to have the MSU-1 chip though so that feature will be missing.

>>3731324
He said he doesn't care about chips and you go on talking about chips????????
