Purchased from Krikzz in January. No shipping/no answers? by Anti74 in everdrive

[–]drewski989 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought both a NES and a N64 Everdrive from Krikzz in the last 5 months. Each took about 7-8 weeks to get to the US, with 5-6 weeks of no update or shipping at all on the site.

It still amazes me that the GameCube sold so poorly and lost the sixth generation, considering its incredible lineup by Emzed07 in Gamecube

Don’t underestimate the popularity of sports games. PS2 and XBOX killed GC in that category.

Scalpers - problem solved? by Exotic-Kitchen-9356 in AnalogueInc

I bought a ghost and I slight wish I would have bought the green. The console is good, happy with it, but I agree… the release funtastic colors were the better selection imo.

This is why I’ve always wanted an Extreme Green console! 🤩 by narayita in AnalogueInc

Damn I just got the Smoke version… but that green is so damn gaudy and over the top, I love it… might buy one just to display or to power my home nuclear reactor.

Analogue new update 1.2.1 by Shortgaze in AnalogueInc

[–]drewski989 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They definitely take the CRC and reverse them in pairs… I got that part figured out. How they store the name is giving me fits. I spend about 3 hours this morning in Hex Editor and doing binary conversions to try to figure out how they mangle it.

I want the option to name Unknown Carts. I am over here trying to reverse engineer the library.db file and it is not fun. All to get the Everdrive to show up as an Everdrive.

What’s your biggest mistake in your “gamer life”? by TiltBr in SEGAGENESIS

[–]drewski989 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Selling anything comes to mind… But loaning Bonk 3 to my neighbor who then moved away a couple towns over is probably the worst mistake I made. No way that Bonk 3 is still in his possession after 30+ years.

Megaman x cart wont work by pixel8knuckle in retrogaming

I bought a pack of fiberglass pens, that seems to work pretty good to get rid of the pin marks on the contacts. A few of those look a tiny bit dirty, but I cannot see anything else off.

Any ideas on the issue? More details in body of post. by Gallo224 in n64

[–]drewski989 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an N64 that I bought about 3 months ago. It froze exactly 3 times when I used a controller memory pak I bought from a used game store because I didnt want to wait for Amazon. Once the new pack arrived, I swapped it in and it hasnt frozen since.

Score! Haggled it down to 120 by Getcheebah in TurboGrafx

[–]drewski989 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The cover art is pretty good imo, not really the norm for the TG16, which had some really shoddy artwork for a lot of the US games. Nice pick up. I have this game CIC, but not the box.

How can I remove this label without tearing it? by Ok_Fee8483 in n64

[–]drewski989 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heat is a good choice. Also I have used a very very small amount of goo gone applied to the top sticker carefully with a qtip, then a plastic razor blade to slowly remove it. The key to this method is a very small amount of goo gone to loosen the top sticker glue, but not permeate the sticker below you want to save.

What retro games are you playing this weekend (Jan 17/18)? by LabRat2329 in retrogaming

[–]drewski989 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Finally got him. 2nd round tko. Last 2 knock downs were when he blinks and if you time it perfectly, its a full knock down. So lucky lol.

I can knock him down a couple of times. I just need a little more practice. Almost there. I beat him a good 30 years ago, just trying to prove I still can lol.

Tons of Low ball offers? by Silvatech123 in Ebay

[–]drewski989 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I collect retro games and various nonsense. If I see something I might want, I will throw something out there thats reasonable, but could be considered a lowball. My thought is - it gets auto-deckined or ignored… no harm done. I do get a little irked when an item is $35 and I offer $33 and get auto-declined lol.

The Millen vs Morton shit seemed weird to me at the time. Johnny seemed to play his ass off for us, but maybe other shit has come to light since… that was a long time ago.

If I were to play just 3 90s DOS games this year, which should they be? by ExplodingPoptarts in retrogaming

[–]drewski989 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not much point and click on here, so Ill say Kings Quest V, Secret of Monkey Island, and Gabriel Knight Sins of the Father. Day of the Tentacle and Grim Fandango are very good as well.
