>>3924551

>>3924546
I don't get it. Is it the fact that none of the consoles in the shelves are actually plugged in?
>>3924548
This one is cool.

That would be better than just having them all plugged into that tv.

DE-9 port so the guy who did it(Drakon) could also use Mega Drive controllers playing his consolized GBA. Here's another of his products. Oh yeah, you know the dude was legit because he charget out of ass for console mods he sold and installed to people.

>>3926540
Can't plug a controller into that connector anon.
Try making up something more believable next time.
>>3926546
Well, it uses GBA player hardware according to his postings so he had to hack controller to use with it. Can't find source for the mega drive controller specifically, but that man is just something else. Pic related, controller plugged to that port.
>>3926540
Fucking Drakon did it? I knew he loved his hot glue but shit I still expected him to be slightly more competent than that image.
>>3926546
Isn't it possible if he just reused the port? Or am I missing something?
>>3926563
Yeah, he did it. He has a thing for S-Video and model 2 Genesis for some reason.
>>3926564
He did exactly that
>>3926194
What in the absolute fuck? It's not even a Nintendo console...
>>3926384
thats not gore tho. thats history like a time capsule.
""""cleaning"""" removing blockbuster stickers and original ownner names from carts to sell them on jewbay collectorcucks is gore.
>>3926617
>>3926565
I rember reading he had no way to test his rgb mods, and if people complained about one not working he'd try to fob them off saying s-video was better anyway.

It doesn't use GB Player hardware.
That's basically a GBA together with one of these old GBA TV adapters that were sold by some third party company back in the day crammed into a genesis 2 case.
You are correct about the VGA port being for the controller though.
>>3926986
Yup, probably got mixed up since it's been few years since I actually read on that project.
>>3926994
One big giveaway for it being the GBA TV adapter is that>>3926560 the picture output by it is smaller than the GB player.
The thing does have a switch to make it bigger but the retards who designed this thing made it multiply the output by some pretty fucking wrong non-integer number which results in eye cancer.

that's not even the worst photo from that
>>3929253
Is this the devkit hardware or the rig he put into the devkit tower?
If it's the latter... I seriously have to wonder why the fuck he's doing this shit? It doesn't even look that spectacular of a build, he could have just borrowed an old computer from a school to use as a media station.
>>3929337
Those are the devkit components, but the actual hardware he put in place of those is nothing special either. i3-7100T (low power wtf?) and a GTX 1050ti.
>>3928890
the problem with this is that G5s weigh about 50lbs
>>3927208
So he did what he wanted with his own computer? THE MONSTER
>>3927208
Someone needs to SWAT that faggot.
>>3929413
He formatted the HDD's because he assumed them to be empty and "it was used for software development not games". Fact is we don't know what was on those drives and never will. He could have screwed us out of Xbox emulation, or maybe he didn't.
Personally I'm as rustled as most of you but I don't care too much, I have an OG Xbox that's modded.
>>3926942
Some of this thread has cool stuff like the Castlevania console but fuck some of this shit makes me cringe into the sun
>>3926617
If a less expensive game I own is absolutely trashed, covered in gunk and marker and all that, I buff it out. There's practically zero damage to the cart and it winds up looking better. If it's more expensive, I let it be. Rental stickers are off-limits though, I think they're cool.
I don't plan on selling off my collection for a long, long-ass time, so the value it poses to someone else is pretty much out of the question with me. I just want my games to look nice. I play a pretty huge chunk of the games I own and emulate the ones I can't get my hands on. Simple as that
>>3929420
its a dell PC emulation cant be that hard to figure out
>>3929420
meh, emulator users are the section 8ers of gaming. Not really a group I care for. Don't care about being "screwed out of emulation" when the system is so easy to soft mod and back up load games on.

>hipsters will pay upwards of a grand for a custom N64 they could make themselves after a ~$200 visit to a hobby store
I hate the idea of desecrating old hardware for profit. If these pieces were for someone's personal collection or for a charity auction or something I'd be fine, but seeing the prices these tricked-out consoles go for is ridiculous

Rubbing alcohol removes sticker residue phenomenally.
>>3937980
It also removes the ink on the cartridge label. I found windex does not remove ink. Strong chemical cleaners can do more harm than good. Sometimes its better to just leave the stickers alone and deal with it. Not everything has to be mint and pristine. Its just like how cleaning COINS actually devalues them. Video game collectors are just dumb and think everything has to look mint so you can resell it on jewbay.
>>3927208
>>3937987
If a rental store sticker is on the label, it's probably already fucked.
I remove all stickers and marker AND I remove the previous owner's saves.
>>3930891
This actually looks kinda cool but once you notice the PSU...
>>3938462
Back when I worked in an indie store they where bloody annoying.
There is no reason to have them over the label, apart from to stop people doing the label switch
Then theirs those places that stick them on discs, tear it off part of the discs picture comes off and you are left with the word "VOID"
>>3938473
you sick heartless bastard.
>>3938634
I remove any signs of the previous owner who at best just gave up the game and at worst neglected it.
I found a game once that had what looked like coffee grounds or dirt or something inside of it. Should I have left that too?
I clean my games the best I can and then give them a good home while also using them.
>>3938683

>>3940872
He's right, but I agree with your sentiments exactly: if it looks groady, why not give it a clean? As long as you're not using something stupid strong, I can't see why it should devalue the coin.

When I was a youngling. We had two NES consoles and one SNES. I wouldn't let my shitty step brother play on SNES one day so he took it out while I was eating, went somewhere outside, took a shit in the cartridge slot and threw it in a ditch. I found it the next day.

I would dismiss this as hipster trash and move on, but why is the B button and D-pad still there and where did the start and select buttons go?
>>3924546
So even if he was able to play old consoles on non-CRT displays, the fact that his consoles are so spread out, there's a good chance that he'll just end up playing at an angle unless he takes out the console and puts it on the floor, then crane his neck up
a display would have sufficed

He explains how he did it. He shows on the busted N64 where he chopped pieces out of, he points out where he placed parts inside the case with the busted unit as an example, he explains how he did the paint effect, what parts were used for the remote, etc.
I suppose the question, though, is why do you want to know if you think it's butchered and shitty? Why care that he's not actually making a build journal for you?
Personally, I wouldn't own it, but I think it looks interesting.

>>3948148
would it be morally wrong to shoot/slice that fuck?
>>3948265
Only if he used a dogbone controller. Regular NES controllers are common as dirt, so it's worth a slap across the face, at most.
>>3934370
Correct me if I'm wrong but wouldn't this be very difficult to play since the cartridge would jut out in front of the screen?
>>3934362

>>3947302
It's not a matter of whether I want to know or not (I don't). It just comes off as arrogant and pretentious when you act like you made something good and won't tell anyone how to do it. In this case, he's being smug about creating a monstrosity.
>>3948725
If he was just showing off the system, that video would have been like 30 seconds. The whole thing is a breakdown of what he did and how he did it.
Maybe this is just the /diy/ fag in me talking, but based on what he said and what he showed, it wouldn't be hard to recreate his mod. Then again, I have experience modding shit and using the tools involved, so when he says "I cut a piece out of this and stuck it on here," I see what he did and how he did it. If you're not familiar with that, then I can understand how that information seems lacking.
I'll agree that he seems proud of making something that is pretty visually unappealing, though. The paint effect is nice, and I may use that on other things, but that color scheme looked not so great.
Anyway, here. Have an ugly mod and a waste of an NES pak.
>>3949237
Well, it's not like most common NES paks out there are rare pieces, so at least we can hope it wasn't anything interesting that got butchered...

I give the guy kudos for seeming to actually know his way around plastic, but he has no clue about good design.

Is the Sega Sports Dreamcast rare? I've got one but it makes a loud high pitched hum when it's turned on so I just bought a normal one and started using that instead.
>>3941059
If it wasn't a poorly done piece of shit I'd be all over that.

don't you already have your modded Jaguar that plays ps1, SNES,NES, GameCube, genesis, Saturn, dreamcast and gba games, Edgar?

>I hate the idea of desecrating old hardware for profit.
Why do you hate capitalism? It's what created the hardware in the first place.
>>3941608
What did you do?
>>3959053
This kind of thinking right here is why your civilization is failing.
>>3959121
Elaborate.
>>3959134
American Capitalism actively encourages sociopathic behaviors. A society run by sociopaths cannot co-exist and function.
>>3959145
Seem to be functioning just fine to me.
>>3959145
wouldn't you rather live in north korea
>>3959205
Then you haven't been paying attention.
>>3959228
What's North Korea got to do with it?
>>3959231
Compared to communist shitholes America is paradise.
>>3959145
>implying I am American
Do you mean sociopathic behavior like hiring large teams of professionals in a variety of disciplines to develop hardware and video games? Right.
It would be unfortunate to turn this thread in /his/ or /pol/, so I'll just say that if you think that making things that others want for profit is exclusive to Americans or sociopathic behavior, you simply aren't equipped to talk about how civilizations succeed or fail. Go pick up a quality economics textbookones written by Marxists don't count, because Wertgesetz is bunkand read some "retro" political philosophy like Hobbes' Leviathan.
>>3959241
>the only alternative to American Capitalism is broke-as-fuck Communism!
Leave and go back to /pol/.
>>3959249
>implying you are not American, or a worshiper at their alter
What you describe is not how capitalism works at all in my country.
>>3959257
In your country they don't make hardware or video games? That's nothing to brag about. Or maybe they don't make what people want? Or they don't profit off it? Okay, I give up. How does it work?
>>3959252
Just saying it like is, kid.
>>3959278
In America money is all that matters. Everyone and everything else is second. The unchecked lust of more things to buy is slowly killing it, like a glutton that simply will not stop eating.
A society where no one believes in altruism eventually dies.
>>3959296
You've an alternative to that poisonous dichotomy for over a decade now, yet you willfully ignore it to prop up a system clearly incapable of coping with the new world your own countrymen created.
>>3959318
You've misinterpreted the causes behind America's very real decline. It isn't any less altruistic than it was at its peak.
I see the problem now. You are naive about human nature. I prescribe a double dose of /Le droit des gens/ and a shot of Machiavelli followed by a steady regimen of Hobbes.
>>3936162
>daddy got drunk again but hit my nintendo instead of me
>but it still works if you patch up the holes
>just like me
>>3959342
The fact that you'd recommend Machiavelli, a staunch Republican and ardent believer in rule of the people as he knew it, shows me how misguided you truly are.
The Prince was not meant to be an instruction manual on successful rule, but a work of satire completely lost on the nobiles of both his time and latter days.
Take this to /pol/ you manchilds

That's how I bought it.
Some kid was destroying toys near my apartment and I saw her destroy this one. I told her I'd buy it off her for $2 and that's how I got this rob.

you have to find him a new replacement head or he will haunt you in your dreams like the headless horserob.
>>3962304
I've had him for years. I think headless horserob is fine with his original head and I doubt he'll haunt my dreams.
If I ever glue him back together I bet he'll haunt my dreams.

Guess what pup, capitalism is the only successful multi-race encompassing political system, maybe you haven't seen Saudi Arabia, Brazil, and Venezuela? How about North Korea? All of them tried everything but free market capitalism and guess what? They are losing.

Here's my modded Gameboy, inverted backlight, prosound mod, silicon buttons with LEDs under them, takes up a bit more power with all the mods but it's great for chiptuning, you can decide if it's gore or not but I love how it came out.

Not a fan of the knob placement, would have put them on the side but I can see the utility of having them on the front like that. Over all a nice job.

Is that pic from that shitty Israeli game?
>>3958639
Yeah I don't get this. Appropriating a broken console's case actually makes sense, but why put a raspberry pi in a cartridge? It doesn't look anything like even remotely resembling it's initial use. It's as retarded as making a lamp stand out of nes controllers or whatever

Basically totally unknown fact; this guy is a Rockstar Lincoln employee. Top bloke when I worked with him a few years back.
>>3966406
Oh, what did you do at Rockstar Lincoln if I may ask?
>>3966050
It depends very much on the retro game and on the LCD. Most LCDs aren't good enough -- not even close.
By the way, how good are plasma TVs compared to LCDs in terms of lag, etc.? They are rapidly dropping in price. I used to play the PSX many years ago on an old plasma and thought it was all right, but then I wasn't a snob back then.
>>3967814
No.
There nothing wrong with an LCD. At all. Period.
>>3967827
>At all. Period.
I am not sure what you mean. Most LCD TVs are pretty crappy, which is a fact that modern games are built to work around but old games aren't. You can get used to the flaws and still manage to enjoy your old games, but they're still objectively there:
1. You can't play lightgun games on them.
2. The lag. The really shit TVs take up to 100 ms process and display a picture. That's 6 (six) frames. Good luck trying to play Um Jammer Lammy or fighting games. The average one lags by 2-3 frames, and that's over HDMI. Using an analog input adds to it.
If you mean "there nothing wrong with an LCD if you buy the right one (a low-lag TV or if you're really autistic a display made for digital signage) and use a dedicated upscaler to connect your consoles to it", then I'm with you.
