    I'm thinking of buying some Repros of Pokemon games, but I was interested in any input or feedback someone might have on these.

     

    Interested in a repro of Pokemon Crystal because the real copies are $40+ right now.

     

    I know the Chinese bootlegs are cheap and poorly made.

     

    Any input on Repros or the hacks is greatly appreciated!

     

    I got Shiny Gold randomly and it seems good and appears to work just fine.

    Based on my use with controllers and emulators, most emulation software wasn't built with controller not swapping in mind. The only one I know of that can almost immediately swap is RetroArch but even it requires sometimes changing the setting.

     

    Only thing I can think of is if it has a shortcut key for changing input.

    I remember asking him some time ago... and it is possible, but I don't think they make a component cable that'd work for the RGB N64 port?

    He confirmed that composite and S-video definitely work out the port, but I don't think you get the real benefit of the matter without RGB.

    Yurkie responded to my PM the other day.

     

    I deleted it before I thought about posting the information here.

     

    Seems there is issues getting the actual mod, and he is losing interest in even doing it at this point.

     

    Just figured I'd pass it along. He worded it a bit better than that but that's the short version.

    Got my bluetooth receivers in today!

    They work super well, and they even double as a bluetooth adapter for your PC!

    You have to plug them in and download a program to update the firmware. Weirdly enough, one of the receivers was up to date and the second one was several versions behind.

    Tried out the SNES30 8bitdo controller and a WiiU Pro controller. Both work super well and feel just right.

    It's definitely a worthwhile buy if you want wireless controller setup for your SNES. I'd advise paying more for shipping if you don't want to wait 2+ weeks from PlayAsia though...

    I also imagine that, in terms of being a hunting grounds, Tuttle isn't better than OKC.

     

    The only way I could find retro games in Tuttle, OK is if I were to rob them from people's houses, but that would require breaking in and searching them.

     

    Odds are not in my favor for finding very much unless someone in town is a secret vintage game hoarder or a random old person that has them in their attic.

    I dunno why I wanted a SNES back in the day... Just seemed like the console to have. I finally got my own like 8 years ago when a friend sold me one.

     

    It was a really nice one that he modded a blue light on. He even did a really fancy method to remove the internal tabs (think he heated a blade and cut them off so they looked nicer).

     

    He even sold me my copies of X2 and X3. Think I paid $80 for both of them?

     

    That friend killed himself a few years back though... And that SNES is easily one of my more cherished pieces in my collection.

     

    I have a lot of titles for it, and many came through that friend.

     

    Beyond that friendship, I've just always wanted a SNES and remember many fond times before ownership and after ownership.

     

    Super Mario World with cousins, Mega Man X with a good friend, or learning about new classics for me through Earthbound or other RPGs. I bought a CIB copy of Final Fantasy 2 (4) with only mild cosmetic damage that was MAYBE played once for $26.

     

    I understand the want or need to want the carts. Hell, I was there just a year ago, but I finally decided it wasn't worth the slowly increasing cost. That and with less time and funding for games, I figured the flashcart would be a good investment.

     

    Who knows? I might still buy a cart here and there because they are pretty cool to have and just feels better than a flashcart. However, I'm not going to spend $70+ on any single titles.

     

    Overall, it's my favorite game console. The only close comparison is my PS1 but for differing and equal reasons.

     

    As nobody might ever say....

     

    SNES IS LIFE. SNES IS LOVE.

     

    So let's just agree that we have differing ways to play or collect for SNES and focus on the love for great titles.

    Yeah, that is worth it, but nothing can really beat owning the original cartridge. For anyone who just wants to game, though, the Everdrive is a very worthwhile investment.

     

    Completely agree with this statement, but it's just getting harder to afford some of the big titles I want. Wouldn't mind spending a few bucks on cheap, random, and interesting titles, but I can't justify any title more than about $60+ considering how much they add up with each cart.

     

    I've got a decent collection as is, so I have most of what I want give or take a few rarer (expensive) titles.

    The rising cost of SNES games (especially the big name or cult classics) is why I went ahead and invested in a Super Everdrive.

    (SD2SNES is the better one but didn't need expanded capability for double cost.)

     

    Regardless of which you choose, a one time cost of $130 to $200+ is quite a bit cheaper than buying just a few high cost titles. Totally worth the investment.

     

    All I lack at this time is GB everdrive, N64 everdrive, and the GBA everdrive when it releases.

    My favorite SNES games are kinda varied but almost always come back to two titles...

     

    Mega Man X

    and

    Donkey Kong Country 2 - Diddy's Kong Quest

     

    I like a lot of SNES titles in general, but those two are easily my favorites.

    Original X might be easy but still just feels the best of the first 3.

    Got hooked on DKC2 over the first one for whatever reason. I think it's the better and more varied title. (Also quite a bit harder than the first.)

     

    Honorable mentions For SNES is...

    Super Mario World - Loooove the cape~

    Wild Guns - Would love to own an actual cart but screw paying $200+ for this

    Legend of the Mystical Ninja - Fun title that I'm just awful at

    Pink Panther in Pink Goes to Hollywood - A very strange title that has weird locations but fun (often difficult) platforming.

    Could make it more custom

     

    Do the three starters and their evolutions followed by three custom choices and then have a list. (starters and evolutions would fill 9 spots and let them choose from a small grouping)

    Would encourage people to pick their team bird. (legendary birds)
