Weird

So, I was at TRU earlier, looking at their clearance aisle. I found this set of car accessories for a shitty kid's tablet, it was priced at $50 but it was on super-low clearance so I was able to get it for like $1.50 I bought it because it had a USB car charger in it, and I needed one of those, plus it had an LCD cleaning cloth, headphone splitter and some other shit.

One of the things inside was a USB power cable for the tablet it was made for. I was about to set it aside when I realized that it looked familiar. It's got the same connector as a power adapter for a Gameboy pocket. And it worked! I can power my Gameboy Pocket over USB!

Is this safe to do? I see on the back of the GB that it is rated at DC3V 0.7W, while on the cable I see printed 300V. Is it really carrying 300V, or does it mean 3.00V?

Seriously, why mediocre 2D games like Rayman, Heart of Darkness and Disney's Hercules sold so well while the real 2D gems like Klonoa and Tomba didn't? That's why I say that Sonyfags have shitty taste on video games. And I'm not even trollbaiting: I have grew up with PS1 and it's one of my favourite consoles (expecially since some of my Top10 favourite games are for PS1 like Rival Schools and Grandia 1).

Once upon a time in central NY there was a gamer. A gamer, who love to game. This gamer bought a copy of Golden Sun from a local "store" for 4 baconators with of $$$. This store ripped off the gamer with a fake cart from chinka that refused to save, and then refused to take it back. Therefore, this gamer wants everyone on /vr/ to know of this place, this area of disgrace to the community, this shit stained ass-wipe of a retail outlet.I am going to call their # "(315) 677-1151" every day for the next week, and ask for the krusty krab. I can only ask that you will join me in my efforts. Fuck rip off stores with bootleg games.

Voltage video games, suck a dick in Derby.

Is it good? Or should I stick with the DOS version so I can use my party through 7 and 8?

How's the rest of the series on the snes?

I've heard that Sega planned to release a connector so that one could properly attach a 32X to a CDX, but eventually cancelled it when it was determined that doing so could not only overheat the system, it could also deliver an electric shock to the player.

Is this true? If so, could any of the resident technicalfags explain what causes this?

N64 RGB mod

No.1693570 View ViewReplyOriginalReport
I recently did an RGB mod on my N64, and it looks great...kind of. Games that use the expansion pack tend to render in 480i instead of 240p and as such are blurry and undesirable. 240p games like Super Mario 64 and 2D sprite based games (like Harvest Moon 64) look phenomenal, just the 480i ones are crap looking.

Is this because of my setup. I am currently using a Dell Trinitron CRT VGA monitor with a CGA to VGA scaler, and a Sync Strike allowing me to connect SCART to the monitor. I only set the scaler to bump it up to 480p.

Would using a proper RGB monitor fix the issue?

Replacement Cases?

Hi /vr/

I bought a copy of Rhapsody online and what I got in the mail was pic related. The seller said it had a "replacement case" but it looks like it was shattered in shipping. I already sent them an email about it, but I have a feeling its not going to go anywhere.

So where do I get a replacement case of ra double CD? Do I just buy a shitty old game case and swap it out? I know there was a thread like this awhile the ago..

The real kicker is that a few days ago someone posted on Craigslist a copy that was ~10 bucks less then I paid for it and I could've ran and got it no problem.
