Hi!
I really love retro games, so I decided to have my own collection.
In my local store there are a GC and a N64. They cost 55€. I saved about 80€, and I only have the money to buy one. Is it a good deal? Which one would you choose? They don't have the box. It's a problem. Where did you buy all your game consoles? What TV ports are necessary?
Sorry, I'm new, and all the people I ask is like:
>You have a PS4, why do you want all that old things?
>>
>>4037617
I know it isn't retro, but I don't know where to post it.

Sorry. I will post it there.

i got all mines when they came out when i was a kid.....if i was going to get into retrogaming new these days i would get a raspberry and say fugg it lmao :D
>>
This post is cute.

I've only ever got consoles as they came out, so I'd probably go for the GameCube if you've never owned one.

>>4037647
Lurk for two years and then post it.

Buy the N64. Play your GC games on a Wii you scare up for free or near it - and emulate all the pre-n64 consoles on it until you decide the next real one you want to buy but your next purchase will probably be an N64 flash cart.
>>
>>4037954
I hate to agree with the shitposting tripfag but this is actually good advice. This is the advice most of this board would give you.

But the N64. GC can be emulated near-perfectly or played on a dirt-cheap Wii if you want real hardware, which will also allow you to use composite without shelling out over a hundred for the cables. The only reason to buy a real GC is for the GBA Player... but just buy a GBA or emulate if you need it to be on TV.

Then invest in flash carts. If you haven't wasted the cash on a collection yet, you'll be making a fantastic investment.

kek gramps usually isn't the one shitposting. not that his tripfagging wasn't irritating at first, it's just that whining about it became more irritating

I recently found that like 5 of the 6 SNES controllers I own have some problem with them.

Broken L, Broken R, Broken Start, etc.

I want to get a new one, and I wanted one with Turbo/Auto-Fire, mostly for old JRPG's and grinding.

I was gonna ebay one, any suggestions?

There should be a repair general up. I would recommend taking them apart and giving them a good cleaning as there may be just a bit of gunk in there that blocks the contacts. If that doesn't work post pics of the PCB.
>>
>>4038257
read the post ffs, ofc they are. OP is 12 years old.

Rubbers can be replaced with new ones. Retro-centric online stores usually sell them and I think you can even get them on Amazon. Or you can just mix and match parts from the six pads you already have to make one or two fully-working pads. As this guy mentions >>4038280
, opening them up and cleaning them would be a good idea.

Or, if you're not fussed about third party pads you can get a Cirka S91 pad, pic related. They're very high quality and very close to the original official pad and you can get them in both SNES and SFC styles.

Game cube is useless because of the Wii and the n64 games are usually over priced
Never pay more than 40 bucks for a console op, that's my golden rule
that I keep breaking
>>
depends nigga what games do u like
get a wii and hack it to run nintendont
>>
>>4038464
>Rubbers can be replaced with new ones
I suggest you do this every time you use one. Reusing a rubber is just fucking disgusting.
>>
>>4037617

>€

I'd suggest you getting a french N64 with RGB scart. You will need it to play ntsc games in color and it's the most common connector in Europe anyway.

Only use I have for GC is to play GBA games with gameboy player, normally i play GC games on wii because i can force 480p this way and component cables are cheaper for wii.

Yeah wtf is going on? If e-celeb threads are suddenly against the rules, the mods need to say something. There's no rule against them at the moment and they've been a staple of this board for ages.

It was used constantly. It was also produced constantly. It and the Doom threads were constant fixtures of this board. It doesn't have to be good to be a staple, dumbass.
>>
>>4041162
It was used by a few underage shitposters who shouldn't even be here. Not a staple.
>>
>>4042040
>a few
It moves much faster than that and contains a ton of shitposting. I'm for it. Easy thread to hide rather than have it spill over, which if does frequently.
