SO I got an N64 today cuz I'm a rebel BUT

Be sure to get a PCI-E 90 degree riser if you use a card for graphics. You gonna need it.

 

Not sure when I'll do it but I'll keep it in mind.

 

You mean like this? http://technabob.com/blog/2010/10/09/nintendo-64-pc-casemod/

 

Yeah exactly like that. I might make a custon MAME 64 decal for the front.

 

With a 3d M and mame64 written in the same font?

 

If I can design it yeah!

I always wanted a Mame Cab, I finally have an excuse to make one. Make the start up sound the KI theme or the first few bars of it.

 

I've just been doodling and I've come up with two rough 3d "M" designs if your interested?

 

Those better be two rare-ish games or you got scammed.

No surprise there.

 

Well I'm never buying gaming anything from that place again. They did fuck me royally.

The games were not rare, Bomberman 64 (US) and Starfox 64

 

^ That sucks ass royally...

 

Good games but unfortunately not worth it

 

LOL if you really think an actual physical store that sells retro games isn't gonna fuck you over on prices. That's the only way they keep afloat: to screw dumbasses who don't know about cheaper online stores or eBay.

 

I dunno, the big stores here arent too bad (Game, Gamestation etc).

 

still gotta be careful and check what you get from them, as they tend not to bother much they dont even clean the stuff they get in.

 

We don't have those places. Last item I bought at a gamestop was Akai Katana. Couldn't get much better than like $10.

 

I have a friend who runs an ecrater store (funnily enough called Retrocade games) I think his exact words were "over priced and staffed with Unknowledgable dick heads" about the place I got the system from.

hopefully the games are ok, of course I have no working hardware to test them on, but I did clean them and they're in a drawer where dust dares no go for now so hopefully once the replacement gets here they'll work.

 

Here we have a small retail store with good prices on retro stuff, its still a pretty new store run by guys in early 30s. They know how much the stuff is worth online so they try to keep their prices decent.

For instance they sell Legend of Zelda on NES (cart only) for 25$. Ive seen it for 40-50 $ in other stores.

Still a little bit higher than you can find online but i like to buy some CD games there, as i can see the actual CD condition before buying it.

 

There is this other store in my area called the Time Capsule, it's for the most part a Comic Book store and a pretty awesome one at that, they're the opposite of the Toy Vault (place that burned me) they price the games fairly and have price guides so they know what they have (which drives prices up sometimes) They even have Fami and Super Famicom games.

I've never been burned by them. Hell they even had a Few MVS carts.

 

sticky reset buttons are common? I have 3 N64s, all had heavy rotation in their prime. none had that issue. seriously, it's just a stuck reset button. And that makes it no indestructible? lol.

 

I swear the previous own just wreaked it ans sold it to the people I bought it from.
