more like recently scammed
I got a complete Parasite Eve for 60 smackers.
such a good game ;_;
I bought a ex rental copy of Legend of Legaia (PS1) for a Dollar. The disc is complete fricked. Giant thick rental sticker. Bottom of disc scratched to hell. Even the Label side of the disc is fricked, but underneath that stupid fricking dvd case it's in. Is both the original top and bottom paper labels for the game's case. In mint condition.
Oh yea... I also recently bought a Zombies Ate my Neighbors (SNES) for $30. It's very well used. I'm going to open it up and give the contacts a good eraser cleaning before testing it out. The Label isn't too bad. You can tell it's been around for a while, but other than not being mint it's great.
Just the Marl Kingdom stuff is recent. $75.
Sakura's just for the Uoooohs!
Ghost Stories for shiggles.

WHY DO YOU COME TO Ganker TO LARP
FRICK YOU!!!
you really think people would do that?
just go on the internet and tell lies?
>floweranon again
;_:
where is handwriting guy?!
>LCD monitor
>bootleg console with HDMI out
>non-bluetooth wireless controller that requires a dongle
>original carts
What the actual frick is this setup anon? Are you mentally ill?
Literally the only difference between what you're doing and emulating is placing the cartridge into a (knockoff) console. Oh, and the money you wasted on all that shit. Why don't you just emulate?
This.
Get a used Genesis, hook it up to a CRT, stick a flashcart in. Best of both worlds.
or just get a genesis mini and install luna on it
Not everyone wants to emulate. Some folk enjoy working with the old stuff.
>non-bluetooth wireless controller that requires a dongle
>wanting laggy BT instead of superior 2.4ghz
t h i s
although for the types of games I play I cannot use wireless at all u frickin blebs
I got a retropi set up. That's been fun.
>homosexuals putting their carts into sandwich bags
The absolute state of moronic zoomers on this board.
I paid around 50 bucks including shipping for a broken SNES on eBay. No video output. Hoping it's just a simple fix like replacing the multi out. Also crossing my fingers that it's a 1 chip.
Also ordered an untested Genesis for 34 bucks. Hoping that it just boots up.
I'll probably make a repair thread and post about it there when I get them fixed up.
Other than that I haven't bought much of anything retro. Been really jonesing for a new N64 to have as a backup. An Everdrive 64 would be cool but I'll have to wait for them to be in stock. It's the only system that I don't have one for aside from the Turbo Everdrive, which I don't even have a console to use it on, and the new-ish Genesis ED that supports Sega CD games. I may just want to get a Sega CD and burn games as needed.
Cheaper than a dust cover. Better than nothing when it comes to water proofing. Lightweight, versatile.

i work at a thrift store and this was donated today. manager priced everything for $170. how could i say no.
You could have used that money for a Saturn instead.
>sega cd for 170$

But you couldn't buy a Mega Drive?
I bought REmake for GameCube for $15, it's a tough game, I need to get used to the zombies pattern to avoid them.
Anime related, I also bought some Chinese DVDs from early 2000s. It's cool to watch these things because they're like a window to the past.
I need to get a camera and take a photo, but I delicately hand trimmed an OEM glaciet shell and put an ita screen with a reproduction gba label and glass mario and luigi lens, exact replica jusco gba. I lucked out and found a lot of shells for ebay cheap and the glacier shell has vibrant color all others I've seen are faded. All oem parts, I took the best most unused looking buttons from a gba I got from nipland, and it's mobo. I really think I've hit my peak with modding. It outshines the ags-101, and NO CHINK PARTS. You cannot even tell I trimmed it with hobby knife. Hell I cleaned and putthe foam screen padding behind the ita screen.
Bought jak 3 and sly cooper 2 for PS2 for 7,5 euro grand total, worth like 25 euros pricechart but im collecting rn
i don't often buy stuff but when i do it's to enable piracy
same.
bought the japanese version of rule of rose for $250 because i didn't want to pay $800 for the us version. hopefully i don't have to be fluent in japanese to play and enjoy it.
mental illness
i have the money, i want the game, and the price isn't going down, so i'd say it was a pretty mentally sound decision
Save for the fact that you might not be able to tell what's going on? Sure. Very sound.
the cutscenes are in english so the story won't be an issue. i know a bit of japanese but i'm far from fluent. if nothing else i can use a walkthrough if i have to.
Yeah, sure. In lieu of a regular playthrough experience, I too would love having to fall back on a freaking walkthrough in a game I just payed 250 bucks for because I can't understand basic instructions on the screen. That sounds like a wonderful time and a worthy investment of one's money.
why do you care what i do with my money? the $250 i spent on it is $250 that i'll never miss and it's well worth it to have my holy grail game. having the japanese version is better than not having it at all. i'm intelligent enough to figure out a simple game through trial and error. none of this bothers me and if it bothers you then i suggest that you don't buy japanese games.
I wouldn't buy Japanese games if didn't know Japanese i'll tell you that much - 250 bucks or not. But hey, if it's your hail grail game...
i know some japanese and continue to study so i'll be able to fully understand it sooner or later. better to buy it now while it's still affordable.
I recently acquired the will to live, by having a baby
now I'm losing weight and being responsible with my money and I look forward to the future and whatnot
100% recommended
Video games?
just making conversation bro
here's my latest retro purchases, GT2 is scratched af but still works
Feels good to take the disc only pill
Front Mission 3 for $45. Or at least it's ordered and now I'm waiting to see if the ebay seller will actually ship it, as they have not since I ordered it Monday. Considering buying a copy of Armored Core and/or Alien Storm as well.
My most recent acquisition was this PS3 Kiosk.
It was missing the display case and the console, but the console at least I already had.
It was a b***h and a half to get upstairs, but that aside, it went pretty well.
That's p cool anon
Thanks anon. I had fun restoring the parts that needed restoring, and disassembling it to clean it.
Turns out one of the controllers in it was a dev controller.
Shit bro, you've got some good taste, looking at your overall picture.
Oh yeah, I temporarily have it in front of my PSP stuff until I put it in the place it will stay at.
goddamn, nice set up, anon
Stellar tastes in NIS and Fatlus games, let alone games worth a pretty penny these days! Who's the pink haired girl spread to the left side of the picture though?
I think it's from to-love-ru? It's one of those ramen topper figurines, I honestly bought it because I had hopes to mod it into an Etna figurine, but I couldn't find a donor figurine that had the right proportions, so now it just sits there.
gayest thing ive ever seen in my life
guess you've never looked in the mirror
some homies just want to live in gamestop
Wait do you live in Texas?
I don't even live in america, not sure why you thought I lived in texas
There's this dude from Texas that does nothing but buy old Kiosk Stands and brags about it. I was at the lgs a month ago and he was there, going on and on about a N64 kiosk he got in pristine condition. my bad anon
There's a facebook group of people that collect kiosks, so I'm not surprised.
Why though? Yeah Video Games take up space too, but kiosks are - kiosks. They're yuge.
They look cool, some of them use non-retail hardware, you're not supposed to own them because they are technically property of the company that issued them.
And they're just fun to play around with.
>They're not suppose to own them
I think thats what is enticing people to go out an collect them. Suppose everyone needs something to collect.
Outside of those few Kiosks, what do you collect?
Sega, Atari, Nintendo and playstation consoles and their variations, dev kits, kiosks, and games for those consoles. ( old picture )
Damn that's real nice.
>using an FPGA that's not a mister
What a stupid fricking homosexual you are.
The genesis core on mister is 100% hardware accurate, the shitbox you bought is barely famiclone-tier.
anonkun i sold my copy of silent hill 3 and regret it
if it brings you joy i say go for it
>Něco z Alenky
based for that alone
i cannot take credit
my ex showed me it
she was into film & weird music
the directors other short film (cant remember the name) is my favorite:
its basically a stop-motion dream sequence and SPOT ON for what dreams feel/seem like
masterful
>if it brings you joy i say go for it
Plus it's not like he can't just resell it for 75%-150% of that in a couple years if he gets buyer's remorse
I think that has more to do with the feds printing unlimited money/inflation than actual stonks anon
Picked up Super Metroid for $40 and Gradius for $5.
I haven't gotten anything new in recently. I'm trying to play through my backlogue, but I need to fix my PS2 so I can get the PS1 games to work.
