niphilim222 Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 I bought a retron 5 for snes games, Not 100% but works none the less. I loved the snes so much i still have my cartridges. And some very rare ones to. https://www.amazon.ca/Hyperkin-RetroN-Retro-Gaming-System/dp/B00DZIX394/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1459815013&sr=8-2&keywords=retron+5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirocu Posted April 5, 2016 Author Share Posted April 5, 2016 That´s cool, but I would suggest getting an original SNES too if you have the money. They´re not expensive and I think you´d find it nice to have one sitting there as well as the Retron :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirocu Posted April 13, 2016 Author Share Posted April 13, 2016 Today I got the correct version of Dr Mario in the box. It didn´t come with the manual and sleeve but I already got that so I put it all together and finally I have a complete Dr Mario again!Had it as a child but since I was a bit stupid in the face I got rid of it. As I did with more games. Bah.I also have the Murican version and as I have the 10NES chip disabled it works on my machine but at a much slower rate (audio-wise). So much fun to play it again with the music at the correct pace :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirocu Posted April 24, 2016 Author Share Posted April 24, 2016 Currently been playing a lot of Bubble Bobble. Great game, nice music and overall lots of fun. Some levels are a pain though, like level 30 and level 57 which I cannot beat. I have at times gotten the umbrella though and skipped past it so I have seen level 60 I think it was. I play using a turbo controller since I like holding the button and spew out bubbles automatically and it of course is even more fun with the green candy! :laugh: Never owned this game as a kid but I did borrow it. Nice to have it again complete in box :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigcrazewolf Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 I remember some good times playing this, my next door neighbor had one http://gamester81.com/wp-content/uploads/colecovision1c.jpeg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirocu Posted April 29, 2016 Author Share Posted April 29, 2016 Never played that system myself. What games did you like on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigcrazewolf Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Mouse trap, Donkey Kong, and Pac-man to name a few. The rest escape me at this point in life *insert drunk emoji here* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimboUK Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 pixelhate, on 01 Apr 2016 - 11:47 PM, said: http://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/369524-console-modding-is-not-supported-here/Well, modding an original NES from the ´80s is hardly illegal these days. The system has been off the shelves for at least 20 years :smile: I still have my NES but it looks terrible on an HDTV, I really need to get a CRT but we're pushed for space. The one I had most fun with was the N64, 2D was getting old towards the end of the SNES's life and the Super FX chips had given us a taste of 3D, the N64 provided that. I personally never liked the N64. It´s something about the early days of 3D models and controls. I wanted a SNES as a kid but couldn´t get one and now I have no interest in it, I just want what I had back then :smile: The SNES has some fantastic titles, it's worth getting for the original Mario Kart alone. That´s cool, but I would suggest getting an original SNES too if you have the money. They´re not expensive and I think you´d find it nice to have one sitting there as well as the Retron :smile: I think you really need a CRT with that, the Retron 5 is the better option for HDTVs, that or an expensive upscaler.

I don't think you necessarily need a CRT screen, but rather something with a 4:3 aspect ratio. Can you tweak your HDTV (Likely 16:9) to output a 4:3 display?

Mirocu Posted May 8, 2016 Author Share Posted May 8, 2016 Am I an old fart for only having had a CRT ever? :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
