I'm only subscribing because you're the first youtuber I've seen smart enough to use their feet to hold things in place while holding a camera lol. But actually this stuff is really interesting!
Super Mario 2 was released in Japan as "Doki Doki Panic", and then reskinned for USA market. Actually it was a good move not only because the original game was difficult, but also because the graphics on both games were identical, and featured only a few improvements. SMB 2 Japan only version was then re-released in USA as "Lost Levels". But in reality the Lost Levels version is nothing compared to the original game. Nowadays its not that difficult to pass this game with use of save states in your emulator, but I personally wasnt able to get to an end, probably like many other players in Japan during 80s. This game really is challenging just like the Kaizo Mario romhacks
I saw a fix for the gray screen for an original NES, but it should apply to the top loader as well. You can leave it turned on for quite some time, the longer the better or simply replacing the capacitors in the top loader.
I think the short cords on old consoles are less because of japanese space constraints and more because the console sort of _is_ the cord, the power and a/v cables were so long that you could have the console next to you instead of the TV. Old pong consoles did the same thing.
Bob Woggle fair, but the atari 2600 had a massive power cord, and still 6' cables on their joysticks. Could be a combination of the two. Space constraints still come into play, as you can't sit on two different chairs like many do in North America when playing multilayer.
Ebay used to be fun to browse and bid on sweet deals but not so much anymore. Now people use this low cost high shipping thing like a $3 item with a $30 shipping charge like its going directly to your house on a private jet inside a box full of temperpedic pillows while inside a fire proof safe and taking a lap around the world......only to find out your less than 1lb item is coming from a neighboring state.
Hi from Spain! I have purchased a lot of stuffs at Yamatoku and I can say he is not famous for cleaning their products :) Nice lot you have there. New subscriber here. ;)
Controller ports going bad was a common issue with the Dreamcast. I tested four that ended up having dead ports before buying a good used one years and years ago.
teh_supar_hackr 0010101 Ha, thanks. I'm still learning and getting better. I hope to get more stuff up in the near future, just crazy busy in the summer so haven't been up to much lately
I cringed when he went to unplug that controller on the dreamcast. Split second I thought he wasn't going to power off. But ended up that was probably the reason the controller wasnt working to start with
Oh god mystery of convoy. Love that game even if it's terrible. The last one you pulled is the second Saint Seiya game I think. Hi no Tori is an interesting game too, iirc it's a platformer.
You need a better camera setup. Doing all that with a box cutting with one hand makes me nervous. If that guy was bitter over selling a Dreamcast for $10, he could have set the bid at a minimum. Like $50, or something. To me even a broken Dreamcast is worth at least that. Though it looks like even 'working' ones are selling for $50, which is surprising. I thought they would be going for around $200. I would love to have a Famicom. That would be some nice piece of retro hardware.
Battery repairs are easy on these. You'll need to order a replacement battery with tabs, and a bit to remove the security screw. It involves soldering, so you'll need to borrow an iron if you don't have one. I don't know if I've done a battery video for a gameboy cart yet
Dayton Yarnell it won't play clear games, as they are game boy color, but it certainly will play pokemon red, blue, yellow, gold and silver. It won't play crystal
Dayton Yarnell I see them every now and then for a decent price. The super game boy was really a great cart, as I'll never really play game boy games on a handhed, but might on a snes
616Haggard I honestly didn't even notice it was on that slip, I attempted to make sure both my personal address and the sellers didn't appear. I'll have to see if there's a way to update this. Thanks for pointing it out.
Games that are a solid color work on the original GameBoy. Ones that are a transparent color are GBC exclusive. Pokemon Gold, Silver, Wario Land II, Mega Man Xtreme, and Game & Watch Gallery 2 and 3 are a few games that work on original GB. Pokemon Crystal, Super Mario Bros. Deluxe, Mega Man Xtreme 2, Kirby's Tilt & Tumble etc. are GBC exclusive. They work on the original GB because they only took advantage of the GBC's color but not's it's storage or memory or anything like that.
You paid 12$ for a broken Game Boy game? I got Pokemon Gold together with Super Mario Land 2, Pokemon Blue and Crystal, a link cable, two tetris games, maybe 10 GBA games as well as a Game Boy for 10€. All working. And I got another one, a Game Boy Color with Pokemon Red and Blue as well as 8 other games for 15€.
Sorry, but Pokemon gold was for the game boy color and the super game boy only plays game boy games. Your Pokemon game or super game boy is probably fake.
SkyMan07:Reviews and more! Not quite true. pokemon Gold was optimized for the color, but it was fully backwards compatible with a normal game boy. It even has the notch cut out in the corner for the OG gameboy
Some GBC games took advantage of the GBC's color but not it's new memory or anything so they are backwards compatible with the og GB. They're usually black (but sometimes come in different colors) and are a solid color. If a GBC game is a transparent color then it is GBC only. Pokemon Gold and Silver work on the original GameBoy (and many other GBC games) while Pokemon Crystal doesn't (like many other games). Look up the list of ones that do and don't
