The mario themed DS is a real DS but reshelled. I remember seeing those before, its just the standard silver original DS that got shipped off or something.
Still seems like a great deal imo for $50 you get used ones with flaws and markings. This one looks at least refurbished with a free shell included and installed. I wouldn’t care if it’s a fake shell when everyone uses 3rd party cases for electronics anyways. I’m actually impressed and might buy one for the nostalgia lol
@@RaveN_EDM look up on youtube, "There was another Nintendo DS version" by The Retro Future. I had to hunt down that video but finally found it. That's whats going on in video.
@@stumpy4646, I'm sorry but I think there was a small misunderstanding. We were just mentioning the DS in this video is a real DS but just the guts (screen, buttons, motherboard, etc). Theyre just taking real DSs and putting them in that different shell to sell at a mark up. It's nice shell thought, so no real problems.
I don’t think he wasted money. It’s a expense for this video which probably earns money so profit in the end. Plus you get a bunch of crappy consoles to play with lol
Imagine if youtubers had morals and weren't trying to spoon-feed you advertisements for products and consumerism 24/7. Everything about this video is used to make you a complicate consumer "I need it right now" "I don't even know what I bought" Don't be fooled. These youtubers aren't spending a penny of their own money. They are spending your money/time/life force.
@@JamesMiller-ex3ffJesus fuckin Christ bro lmao, read Marx, learn theory, and stop hating on our fellow proles and be mad at the actual people causing problems
that's what I was thinking. Love HQ reshells. Bought myself a reshelled DS lite made to look like the Zelda 25th Anniversary edition. Might not be the real one, but it's good for me until I can get a real one. Really don't like the people who try to sell them as the original. That's just irritating.
The deal with the "Chicken Boy" screen are not dead pixels, is just that the native screen resolution is lower than the default NES resolution which makes the games not render properly.
@@JimWu213 CPS3, which only had a couple of games released on it (notably the Street Fighter 3 games, and Heritage of the Future), because it was (don't quote me on this tho, this information came to me in a dream) rawdogged by the Naomi board by Sega
I work as a hardware and software developer in some noname company, and the thing about wireless controllers is that it might sounds counterintuitive but in nowdays they are cheaper to produce than wired controllers. When you want wired connection, you need to put in your board some kind of uart485 like max422 chip and add there come of other components to that like reisistors and condensators and it adds up in price. While wireless you have lot of times for free in microcontroller those days, and even if you don't you just put some traces on pcb which serves and antenna, some cheap PWM demod (like single resistor and condensator) and you're good to go. And now durring semiconductor crisis it's even more pronounce as stm32 microcontrollers prices skyroketed and esp32 stayed cheep, and with esp32 you always have bluetoorh/wifi, you don't have to do anything to have a wireless connection.
i'm a novice to hardware design. But if the controllers are simple digital inputs. How is a full MCU with wireless tech and battery cheaper than the shift register technique employed by the NES controller?
Like 12 years ago I found a naruto DS game that was made in Japan at best buy. It was a few games ahead of the US & they didn’t mean to even receive it nor could they sell it, one of the employees told me to just put it in my jacket pocket and leave with it. I already knew Nintendo wii was regional locked so I didn’t know if it would work but it turns out it did and so I was able to play a naruto game with a bunch of characters I didn’t even know yet in full Japanese. I was so happy then.
I bought a Japanese playstation 1 when I was a kid so could play Dragonball z games from Japan because they wouldn't play on a PlayStation from United States.
But that still rentable since the price of a DS (a normal) is a little bit higher But what could be the little things that could be cool is a personalization choice like adding a picture, or custom button for the same price 😂😂😂
Honestly if I had enough space this is totally the kind of thing I would love to do, accepting the fact that most will be junk you do find some neat little gems/novelty items amongst them. That little game gameboy old-school TV thing would make a neat decoration or something fun to bring out on a games night for a laugh
The little CRT TV is something I can get behind. Just add a little more deluxe fit and finish, an official Sony Trinitron design license, and little replica consoles to plug into it; Each one allows you to play different games.
SMB3 actually has those "missing pixels" on the left originally. It's an overscan area that just isn't drawn so that sprites can scroll more smoothly with less flickering.
I'm going to say that the Nintendo DS that you got is just a case swap. My reasoning for this is because you said it sounds loose in there and you can buy cases that are knock off to rehouse official DS hardware.
I remember my mom got into alliexpress couple years ago, and when I was building my computer, she was like "look!" You can get the same parts even cheaper here" lol. As if I was gonna pay a couple hundred dollars for some sketchy quality computer parts. I don't care if some of them WERE real, I'm not gambling that much money lol. It would be funny to watch a video of someone building a PC from parts from there tho haha
@@inclusion8810 yeah I noticed. I haven't seen one with realistic dupes tho, people all chose obvious fakes and lower end parts. But I'm not that determined to search that deeply, not really that big of an interest lol
@@zyrongonzales9691 do it! I'd love to see the results. People usually just buy random unknown pc parts from there for videos, but I haven't seen anyone buy items that claim to be the real thing
Not a bit surprised you had such a good experience with these. My wife bought me a knockoff hand held last year. Looks like a small Gameboy Color, cheap plastic, but surprisingly good games. I often find myself playing it when I'm too lazy to get up and grab a real Gameboy.
The Chicken Boy is very cute and I think would be great as little funny gifts especially for kids to put in their Christmas stockings stuffers. I like the little tv too and the "Wii U" knockoff. I'm impressed with the real DS lite too for 50$ that's a good deal.
My grandma got me a fake gameboy looking console not knowing it's fake. She got it for me and my mom to play super old games like snake and space invaders. I didn't tell her it was fake. I immediately knew it was fake because of the bad spelling on the box and weird looking gameboy. The box showed Mario 1 and instead of spelling super Mario brothers they called it super Marie brothers lol
Okay so don’t take this the wrong way but you and your videos are like the physical manifestation of that feeling we had as kids on Christmas morning. You’re just a feel good dude man. Thanks for always making my day better.
That PowKiddy looks amazing hardware-wise. Too bad the software (and probably the SoC) is crap, but I'm seriously considering getting one from that line if I can pick it up cheap to turn it into a shell for one of my unused Raspberry Pis.
The speakers and sound on most of those consoles could be adjusted with time and patiences with resistors. Usually it's not the speaker itself. It's Usually the low income sounds (Bass) are coming in too high. Sometimes adjusting the highs sounds (treble) a little bit lower and completely lowering down the lows. Could most likely adjust and fix the sound. Companies don't do that because it cost a little more money. So they go the cheap way just to cut the cost.
to be honest i also bought some stuff from aliexpress and if you know how to do online shopping like rating, number purchased etc its quite good. i dont know why people $hit on them while they have the lacking of purchasing stuff online. most of our products even the real ones are made/manufractured in china anyway. considering the prices things are actually good
"it's chinese so it must be bad!" is quite literally the mindset for it. Also aliexpress is the site dropshippers often use like wish and such. All market sites like that have scams, there's millions on amazon for example. And just like amazon on the flip side, aliexpress has millions of legit sellers and products. It's just about either not being dumb, or purposefully wanting to be dumb.
It's a lot of prejudice and people not knowing how to be careful about buying stuff online. Tbf scams have gotten fairly legit looking sometimes but there's probably just as many scams on amazon etc
The vintage tv set is cool... and the speaker stuff, well thats pretty easy to fix: you just need a soldering iron, a good quality speaker, some capacitors and patience!
Mostly just reshaped android os+hardware with emulator software, some are nice; no one really makes actual "copies" of consoles.. ONly real issue is "quality" and hardware which is important, finding a good quality one is nice to have.
On Mario bros 3 on the chicken boy I’m pretty sure that those dead pixels in the bottom left corner are also on the Nintendo Switch nes online, I’ve played it recently and I remember in the same corner those “dancing” pixels
Yes this glitching is on a real NES hardware as well. Awso the "dead pixels" on the menu screen are just becouse the resolution is both enough so the image is scuished
7:38 I have bought consoles like this in the past myself. Sometimes they put the screen in wrong. That is they cut the sheet for the material and put it in the wrong way at 90 degrees. You can tell because the image appears as if there are 2-overlaying. Rotate the device 90 degrees and you will see the screen is a whole lot better. And no there is no way to ensure you don't get this except by ordering from a site that guarantees returns on faulty products.
Just pointing out, on Mario 3 that glitch line on the bottom left is in the original game too, wasn't part of an issue with the emulator itself. Edit 1: That Mario NDSL isn't a fake, it's a real one with a JP firmware format.
8:44 ehm... bezel. You mean bezel. Embezzle or embezzlement... is a crime? Wait is this why screen manufacturers have been putting so much effort into removing the bezels? Were they afraid of jail time?
Incidentally I once, a few years back, got in on a class action lawsuit for LCD screens, and won over $500 because I reported all the screens / things with LCD screens I bought in the timespan the lawsuit was about and yeah... I wouldn't have gotten in on it except it was about price and non-competitive manipulation behind closed doors, and I wanted the businesses to know that's bad.
Despite there being enough hair and debris behind the screen to contaminate a crime scene, I do like the size of the last game console. And if it had actually been able to support Silent Hill, I might have actually been tempted to buy that one...
In regards to the DS Lite, I'm pretty sure the hardware is real, the Mario case however... eh not so much. There are reproduction cases online, you can absolutely buy the Mario Case on eBay right now.
In a similar price range, look into the PocketGo S30. Much better quality than anything listed here, for around the $60 mark, and can be found on Amazon for a small premium over the direct price. A bit more expensive, but also worth a look are the excellent RG351P, M, or V (variations of the same hardware).
I'm a new subscriber to this channel, and usually when I sub to a new channel I bearly watch their content afterwards. But this is an expetion. The videos are so entertaining and I really like your personality. Keep it up ^-^
12:55 I’ve just been staring at this for like 5 minutes and Jesus why is it moving I know it’s an optical illusion thing but it hurts my brain and even more my eyes…
Mate, the pixels on the left of SMB3 screen are like that in the real game, that's the horizontal scrolling bar caused by to the limitations of the NES and how they implemented the scrolling in that game. Also, it didn't look like any pixels were dead, it looked like the resolution was off and the scaling was really bad. I'm genuinely surprised you didn't get these things right
Oh I think I remember ordering one of those weird DSLite as a kid, not knowing it was fake. Years later when I found out, I am surprised they worked so well without issue.
Great video, The chicken one, the text is not caused by dead pixels in the LCD but missing data in the actual text, as the game mario has no dead pixels. The bottom left corner the flickering floor is actually part of the ROM from the original and also occurs there :)
