Give me a Raspberry pi loaded with emulators and a USB drive that looks like an NES cart (which I can't find but I'm looking for)
I could swear I've seen one before. I haven't been successful in locating it right now, but it was a super mario bros 3 cartridge, and the guy fitted it with a flash drive inside with emulators. There's countless NES consoles with raspberry pis in them, but that's way too big for that. Then there's this! This is totally awesome
Oh man... That is great. I would love one of those. Technically it wouldn't serve much of a purpose for me, but just look at it!
The only thing on RCG I was intereste in was getting a "Dingy DMG" shell for my GBA, but they were out or stock last I checked. Now, they're in stock and I found out they arbitrarily cost 4 times as much as the other cases. Fuck this shit. (Not as big as the other stuff mentioned here, but I still feel it bears mention.)
These products seem like ambitious fan tributes, and they would be pretty cool if they were. Keeping a firm grip on "high quality, limited supply" assets that are stolen? Just (expensive, pretentious) bottom-feeding. If anyone's interested... I'm selling a $10 Yamaha keyboard made by a company that was inspired by the very same country that influenced Shigeru Miyamoto's upbringing, which ultimately lead him to join Nintendo and make The Legend of Zelda. It has a triple-finished sticker of a Bob-omb wearing a Link Cap and an engraved Triforce in the plastic molding to show the power of the Rising Sun. ONLY ONE LEFT $560 +s/h.
That's because he had to spray paint it for you lol ohh, he also includes some custom buttons... but as you can see here on Kitsch-Bent you can get those for $2.00 http://store.kitsch-bent.com/product/custom-buttons Just spray paint it yourself and buy the buttons... way cheaper that way Edit: My bad, I thought you meant the GBC. The GBA buttons aren't for sale on Kitsch Bent, but I'm sure if you look around on the net you can find them, or just make them yourself from a cheap silicone mold kit and some resin. Either way you're probably still gonna come out cheaper.
Nah, I'm good on my GBC. I've got a Japanese clear GBC with the colored D-pad/buttons from a broken yellow Pokemon GBC. Way cooler than anything RCG has for their GBCs.
Spray painting buttons isn't a good idea, but you can get different coloured buttons nearly everywhere if they're just arcade ones. When you paint them they start to wear off from oils.
Yeah, you gotta make a mold and cast them out of colored resin to do it right. it's not hard, but unless you're gonna do a lot it might not be worth the cost of materials. Yeah they look good, but when you look closely you see the smudgy spray paint quality and then there's the whole thing about the compatibility issues which were due to being half-ass. Honestly I think spray painting the cartridges is half-ass, too. There are companies that do gold plating to plastic, like the old school gold zelda carts from Nintendo. He could've done that and avoided having a smudgy crappy-looking paint job, but that would've taken away from his precious profits. Buy a $40 dollar repro and make your own gold cart, unless you just have money to burn. Buying something as a collectible from some guy on the Internet isn't really a good investment in my opinion. It's only going to appeal to people who know and care about who this guy is, whereas something that is limited edition from a known company like Nintendo or Sony will always have a much wider market. For example just look at those 20th anniversary PS4s. Funny how this guy is able to gold plate these cheap toys......They're limited, too
T That's a Michael Jackson themed power glove. The artist called it "beat it" lol. Pretty cool.. It was for sale for $850 Here's a link to other art from the same people http://store.iam8bit.com/collections/iam8bit-10th-anniversary-show
Someone was able to fit an entire NES top loader into a SMB/DH cart before. There's a video of it on YouTube.
I somehow doubt that they licensed Zelda from Nintendo to make their overpriced counterfeits. To have the audacity to charge this amount for a friggin' NES cart is unreal, but to blast it out on your website with your name attached on it is beyond ludicrous. Why put your game on a Famicom PCB then use a 60-to-72 pin adapter that doesn't even allow it to work on a regular machine? Oh yeah, because then you'd have to pay your Chinese sweatshop above $2 per PCB, which would cut into your 10,000% markup price. $400 for a wired controller that works on 1 system and is covered in counterfeit artwork? I'm in. Toodles is obviously catering to the wrong clientele with the MC Cthulhu.
This is technically an ebay hall of shame post... but it belongs here.. What a low life this seller is. And then he's trying to get more money just for the stupid poster, too. I love how he makes sure to emphasize how "RARE" it is, but doesn't even know how many were made. "100 or so" Dumbass... Guy seems like a total eBay noob, too. You can't even just relist an item 3 days later if the buyer doesn't pay. You'll have to go through the the item not paid process and eBay gives the buyer a week to send payment before leaving an unpaid item strike on the buyers account. So you can't just relist something 3 days later like he thinks. And he actually thinks once he puts it in the mail that he's completely off the hook? Lol. I hope someone buys this and files an Item not as described claim and sends him back an empty box. Oh and he includes his gas and time spent packing items in the shipping prices and solicits feedback while implying he will leave negative feedback for a buyer, which is also not possible... Typical sociopath rcg customer/reseller of 'ultra rare' items. I know I'm kinda going off on one right now, but I hope this seller dies in a car fire.
