May Pickups

[Taketheword]

It would be nice to have either composite or s-video though.  The front is a heck of a lot nicer than the commercial grade, TV station look of the one I use.

You could probably use this as composite switcher by just using let say the green video inputs/outputs, and s-video by splitting s-video in to 2 RCAs and then using green and red connectors.

That is correct with the composite. Not sure about the s-video. I didn’t know that was possible. 

My N64 is modded for RGB. And nearly ever other retro console I can think of has native RGB output (HD Retrovision cables are used in this case). Except of course the NES which I plan to get modded.

Right. I knew about the Y/C but it didn’t occur to separate them. I did find (online) an S-Video to BNC Y/C adapter. I could combine that with some BNC to RCA adapters and voila.

I also wonder if the digital audio RCA could be used to carry composite. That would allow composite and component over one output. Either that or just have component be on 4 outputs and use the other 4 for composite and s-video (sending the composite over G and the s-video over R/B). Effectively creating an 8x4 matrix for component, composite, and s-video. I could even program the remote to do the legwork. But I wonder if having a null output from the matrix over one signal would interfere with the other.. but that isn’t the case with the Pelican switchers.

S-video is 2 video signals (chroma and luma) and you could separate it in to 2 RCAs with (custom?) female s-video to 2 male RCAs -cable, and them back after the switcher with 2 female RCAs to male s-video cable (again probably custom).

There are pigtails for just that purpose. I have a half dozen on one of my Extron switches.

Could you post a pic or brand or something? All I could find is a BNC one.

Thanks

So my Nintendo Online expired yesterday and I wanted the physical Tetris 99 anyway (and I never bought the DLC), so what the heck. $30 minus the $20 I would have spent for Nintendo Online, equals $10 for the game.



And yeah, the Galaga Arcade 1up in the "background" is part of my May pickups as well. On clearance for $50 at Walmart. It's worth $50, just for the wood and monitor alone, to me anyway. It'll be modded with some more vertical games. Splatoon 2 I got a few months ago but I don't think I ever mentioned it. Was marked "Online item", but I got it in store at Target, so maybe a return, and that's also why it was marked down to $20? And/or they are trying to get rid of the versions with the guide?

Mine are BC, since Extron and Crestron switches use BC.  But BC-to-RCA adapters are cheap.

Ah, I see. Out of curiosity, which systems do you run over composite/s-video?

Actually, nothing at this point, since there are so many Component and HDMI options now.

But I had been running SNES, Genesis, N64, Saturn, & DC.  But I did HDMI mods on the DC and N64, and the rest are on Component now.

Picked up/waiting on a lot of good stuff this month so far:

Switch:
Tokyo Mirage Sessions
Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker
Super Mario Maker 2
Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening
Katamari Damacy Reroll
Azure Striker Gunvolt: Striker Pack
Okami HD

N64:
Blast Corps
Pokemon Puzzle League
Jet Force Gemini
Pilotwings 64

Gamecube:
Star Fox Assault

The used game deal that Game Stop had a while back was really helpful for filling out some of the collection.

Just got this in the mail.

A lot of people consider this their “holy grail” find.
(I don’t. But it’s neat.)

For the uninitiated, this is the EXTREMELY rare mail-in variant of this game which fixed a game-breaking error. This has been considered one of the rarest N64 variants ever.

Mint condition value: $500
Value at this condition: ??250??

I paid.. a very small amount.   




Also got a mint condition SNES Classic Edition for $50 (purchased the case separately).

How can you tell that it's rare version.
Just checked ebay and there seems to be plenty of these at low prices and that say they are working and have (as far as I can tell) identical markings.

Oh the indentifier is the NUS-NW4E-USA-1 (instead of just NUS-NW4E-USA) code on the label which handily is missing from your label...

There are two versions. The ones you are seeing are the ones with the save glitch (randomly deletes your save file).

There are two ways to tell. On the front label, the bottom line of text (the model) ends in a “-1”. The second way is that the stamp on the back has an “A” after the number (this one is 09A).

Now due to severe front label damage, the “-1” is torn off. However, it is obvious by text alignment that the “-1” was originally there. I’d have to draw you a picture to explain the alignment. But if you look at how on the normal version the “N” on the top line perfectly lines up with the “N” on the bottom line. On this one (and all of the fixed versions), the second line is slightly shifted to the left due to the added text.

Edit: You’re right. It was handy for me that it was missing.

OK, I see what you mean lucky.

Because I am obsessed with these mini systems, I got this in the mail today. Yeah it's AT Games, but it is HDMI and so cute.. It will be modded with a raspberry pi. PSC controller and other items shown for scale.

Is that the Flashback X?
