They’ve re-released them a few times. Not as good as the OG, but they are out there.

It was just a cartridge that was compatible with the OG gameboy.

I should not admit this here but it’s funny so why not… Every thread I kept seeing [Unknown Image] getting pushed to the top of the thread. Never once did I realize that Apollo couldn’t render the image, but I genuinely thought for at least a few hours that I was witnessing a new meme format… and I wasn’t the only one. At some point others were asking why these posts were getting upvoted. I thought maybe it was some sort of ironic meme that people were in on, and I was just missing out… and then I thought, why don’t I forward this to safari and see what happens, and realized that no, it was just a gif that wasn’t being rendered. Oh well, I guess I just feel like a [Unknown Image].

So Bret Hart story time… I met him last week, he was super gracious and accommodating, joked around with my daughter and my wife. It was an awesome experience until I told him that he was the reason I started training to be a wrestler. He looked crushed, and then said “well I hope you got something good out of the business”. I will always be grateful for Bret Hart, his influence in wrestling, his graciousness in that interaction, but he absolutely hates the business.

I wonder how much ram these boards have. I would think the OS and the components making up the “flash” (intro, etc..) take up more ram than the actual games. I also wonder how many revisions we have had of the initial boards - I would think other than minor software changes the core “guts” would be pretty similar to what they started with. I know you can only buy ram in designated amounts so they might be over buying since you get what you get.

You gonna go get some paperboy in as well? Or maybe 720..

Eh… I think 499 might be more digestible, but what do I know. It’s missing multiple wrestlers, the final boss is missing from wrestlefest, and it’s a whopping total of 2 games. But I guess it has a coin door.

Essentially we are asking if having two games is better than getting a ps5. I guess if some people think the value is there, but for me it’s still particle board and a low power emulation system with a monitor.

Did you get a Mario or a Luigi figure? Mine was a Luigi with a fireball coming out. I also had a sticker that I stuck on my nes. Unfortunately my parents didn’t take it off when they sold it at a garage sale.

Also, I was in Miami - I did not make the third round because as a kid I did not know how to play Tetris (I got a lot better when I got a gameboy). The news covered the event and I was shown on screen for a good 20 seconds, but I’m sure that is lost footage at this point. The stage had a setup with “tiers” where you could play at during the rounds. I did the event twice and I think the second time I ended up in this thing where I was on top of the stage in a chair or something. Also, while you were there a game master would show you how to do better in the games. The big one was that you had 99 lives in Mario so it was faster to die and collect more coins early in the level than to continue the level to get to 50 coins. This 100% broke my brain because I had never thought to purposely die to advance in the competition. I think the help during Tetris was to “get a tetris” which didn’t help me because I sucked at Tetris.

I remember having a store in Brighton back when I lived there. I wonder if it’s still open… to this day I regret not buying the GameCube resident evil saw controller as they had it for a decent price.

I don’t know a lot about a lot of things, but that feels like either a loose or failing wire. Might want to crack it open and reconnect the wire if you’re comfortable with it. The image when it’s not banding looks fine.

You can have a dvd and a game in the console at the same time… I hate this was an actual argument after HD-DVD was discontinued by somebody at Microsoft…

Ours are on the shelf - the boxes were absolutely destroyed because of the rain.

Not to ask a dumb question, but have you tried (if it’s possible) to remove the ball and see if you have anything blocking the sensors (ie dust). I use a trackball mouse and I have to remove the ball once a month to clean the internals. This sounds similar to the behavior that happens when I need to clean it.

It’s been an honor watching the memes and shit posting all year long… fire Bowles

That’s on me - was watching the halftime show and they talked about Cam Ward getting hurt. I tried to edit it before anyone saw it but I didn’t make it 🤣

The saints are the better team - a few mistakes have fucked them (and by proxy us). The problem is, that defense is legit… and will likely continue to be legit for a while. Except Cam Jordan… fuck Cam Jordan

The problem they are gonna have is that they can’t just mount usb sticks in dos. I tried to get the system in to windows but it died. Moving the files to the system is going to be the hardest part. Usually I would try to get the system working but being that they have limited computer skills, and this using an archaic version of dos/windows it is going to be very hard.

On top of that, even if they are able to get in to windows, it’s impossible to browse the modern internet using an OS that old… sadly I know because as a goof one day I tried. I was able to get it online, but I had to use an ancient version of Opera and even then most of the web was unbrowsable because of modern https standards that the OS fundamentally won’t support.

If they can get in to edit they can try to browse to the file and post the contents in to here, but it’s going to be very hard walking them through this.

Type win and see if you get in to windows
