did a double take

He died for our sins but that's no excuse for writing all over a cart

Son of God or not, I'm taking rubbing alcohol to that signature and getting it off my cart!

 

[Mzo]

or use a magic eraser for like a second

that'll never work

There are no Genesis games with His name on them, just sayin'.

 

[Bar81]

There are no Genesis games with His name on them, just sayin'.

That's because the real J. Christ blessed that system as a whole - who do you think named it (Book of) Genesis.

 

[Shadow Hog]

We also totally had Bible Adventures, Joshua, Exodus and Spiritual Warfare, so

I mean, yeah, they're all NES up-ports, and completely garbage games to boot, but still

 

[sixteen-bit]

Speaking of Exodus, how about that post-genesis Sega fanbase? kappa

 

[Het_Nkik]

Is he a kappa or just some made up thing? Also i'm not sure why i'm fighting cavemen lol.

I need to start recording some of these imports that I think people have missed out on... The Great Battle series is another.

Made up thing. Xandra is the species. Kurino Xandra is the dude I know from NxC and the dude in your game.

 

[eXistor]

I got a bunch of bootlegs today. Is it even worth a damn?

Also the rest of the stuff I got today:

Most of these are doubles for me, but I'll be selling/ trading them soon probably.

 

[Seven Force]

did a double take

Heh.

 

[nrvalleytime]

Need your help, detective GAF - potentially trading for these items. Do the carts look real from what you can see?

Any thoughts?

Cheers, and thanks for the help.

Got a shot of the PCBs?

 

[nrvalleytime]

Got a shot of the PCBs?

That's it for now, unfortunately. I've asked for more shots, so hopefully I'll have more to post momentarily.

In the meantime, do the labels look authentic? I have an incredibly bad eye for mislabeled and fake SNES carts, which has burnt me pretty badly in the past.

Updated shots. What say you, GAF?

 

[Brock_Landers]

I mean, going to the trouble to counterfeit games that are worth maybe $15 seems unlikely to me, so Gradius and GnG are assuredly real. The others are worth a bit more, but really still not valuable enough to command that sort of attention. It's mostly the Haganes and Wild Guns of the system that seem to be the prime targets

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

I'm sure they're real. No way to tell with those shit photos, but yeah, I wouldn't worry about them being fakes.

Yeah, the pictures didn't help all that much. But I thought to ask nonetheless. To be honest, it's more validation for me than anything else. I appreciate your thoughts.

Looking forward to Castlevania IV though. First time playing through.

 

[Timu]

I finally have RGB on my SNES, took long enough, lol.

[Later Alligator]

anyone got an extra copy of super mario rpg they are looking to part with? or one they have played and no longer want?

 

[sixteen-bit]

Starfox gotta have the fakest looking real PCB ever.

http://www.snescentral.com/pcbboards.php?chip=LR0G1802

 

[mltplkxr]

Huh. Mine's not like that. It's a big board similar to the Mega Man X2 one, with different chips of course.

The first run has the big boards. The second North American variant and the second PAL variant are like this. Apparently all the Japanese Starfoxes are as well.

wrong thread

I knew the NES and Game Boy buttons were interchangeable, but I didn't think the SNES ones are too.

It ain't what the gord lawd intended

 

[Het_Nkik]

Ooh, I want to make a concave B/convex A NES controller now.

 

[daydream]

Dark blue buttons look kinda rad. Would love to see if they suit the NES controller.

 

[ys45]

I Think it's time I start to play those RPGs I missed from Square .
Where would be a good place to buy Repro cart for SNES ?

 

[Freeza Under The Shower]

aren't the NES ones flat on top whereas the SNES ones are rounded on top?

or is that just a PAL thing?

In North America, YX are concave and BA are convex

Love those concave buttons.

The climax of controller button design.

They're great.

I'm probably going to swap them into my ASCII Pad.

 

[Shadow Hog]

The Genesis and Saturn controllers also had concave buttons. They are seriously like the best type of buttons ever. Concave 4eva.

 

[GloriousNL]

does anyone know who designed the cover for Karuraou? And where can I find more of his/her art?

 

[898]

Odd question but when did Taloon's (Torneko) Quest for SFC become a $50 game. I hate that I didn't pick this up CIB for $10 a while ago.

 

[Gameboy415]

did a double take

This is a copy of Super Noah's Ark 3D, right? haha ;P

It wouldn't have a licensed cart shape if it was.

I skipped to the end of a YouTube playthrough and it was the first name to come up in the credits.

Shuho Itahashi.

Looking at Google, seems he's pretty well known.

Am I crazy or are SNES controller buttons lavender (X/Y) and purple (A/B)?

 

[Brock_Landers]

The new batch of S3DNA are normal-looking

That's right. That's also ho they're labeled inside the controller.

Hm, I guess they're more purple than blue, sure. Either way, they look hot on that GB.

(Still love the original colour, of course. Too timeless.)

Im just gonna leave this here:

eBay has turned into a hot mess of overpriced BS, but once and I while I connect with someone on Craigslist and get a decent deal. Came home with these for $80 total:

 

[Friend of Sonic]

Ooh, my nips. That isn't a bad grab.

 

[Teknoman]

Must have blown minds back in the day. I never got that far when I was little since I only rented it every now and then.

 

[The Bukafax]

HELP!

I had picked up LttP about a month ago. Just got around to playing it and it would not start. So I did the classic Qtip/windex cleaning. Was sooo dirty, took 3 tips to clean. After it still would not work.

It appears it cannot be taken apart either, screws look molded over or something. Is this just a bricked copy now?

Edit- Just looked under light, still very dirty. As well one of the contact pins is missing, is it ruined?
