June 2017 Pickups!

[Lashek]

Nintendo is starting to crack down on these pretty hard. Now is defiantly the time to buy them if you're not planning on making your own.

Hell, the auction from which I bought mine was taken down the following day. I can't even see it in my purchase history on eBay.

I'm in the process of making cards like this myself. If I come up with something decent, I'll see about offering it up to the community here, as I don't think I'll be selling them on CHG.

[edit]
Drafted these up:

Got these in the mail as rewards from Blumpkin's Bounty Board. He even threw in a couple of extra goodies! I have at least one or two boxed games for all my old systems - with the 32X and the N64 being two notable exceptions. Now I have at least one box for every system I own except the 2600. I know it's not a big deal for most, especially since a lot of you guys have super impressive collections of classic games CIB, but as a poor collector in a very rural part of the country, it's a rare and exciting score! Thanks again to Blumpkin, you made my day.

How would you like a single NIB Atari 2600 game to make it so you own at least one for all consoles you own? Got an NIB MotoRodeo for the 2600 that I don't need or want. PM me if interested.

That is so kind of you Lashek! I was having a crappy evening, and now I can't stop smiling from ear to ear. PM sent!

$20 on sale at Target (normal price of $50)

Rime looked sweet and it was cheap on prime, so I grabbed it.

I just finished Rime tonight.  Highly recommended.  Great ending. 

A lot of collectibles too.  I'm considering trying to go for platinum.

Shared this on Discord, but my first test run of Amiibo cards are complete. Pleased with the outcome, although you can see the NTAG215 sticker outline.

The Retron works pretty well.  Picture quality is excellent at 720p.  The sound is very good, not quite perfect but not bad by any means.  The cartridge slot is a little tight, but not as bad as other Retron's I've had.  Carts nearly always boot up the first time.  The included controller works well and feels solid, unlike most clone controllers.  The system itself also doesn't feel thin and light like most clones - definitely a more solid build all around.  I've found only one glitchy cart, and it's a homebrew I have of "Donkey Kong Original Edition" with the added 4th level.  I was looking for a cheap and easy solution to playing original carts with original controllers on my HDTV and this does the job very well.

That's actually the first clone console I've considered buying, but it wold be for another room, and not a replacement for my primary game room.

Some finds from the local flea market over the weekend.



SMB is complete and in really nice shape. The Mega Memory card and Xbox HD adapter will be flipped.

[TDIRunner]

I really enjoyed all of the SMA games.  I also use that same XBox HD adapter.  It works really well.

Got these in mail today



Altough my order was cheaper version without the case, but same cards.
Excelent quality.

^^^ Me as well.  Slightly different design, but who cares.

Are these cards about the same size as an e-reader card or a regular baseball card?  If I get them, I would want to store them in the 3 ring binder card sleeves that hold 9 cards.

The exact dimensions of a CC.




Goodies. Sold my Pokemon N3DS. Don't know why I even bought it. Got this white one and a Love+ DSi LL (still in transit). Only 1 DSi XL/LL to go!  The PCB boards are for a SNES controller. You can attach a Pi Zero directly to it to make a mini Pi console. I've got about 200 SFC controllers at the shop which were intended to be converted wireless, but that project was a total bust. Hopefully these boards will give me a reason to unearth those controllers.
