OT: NES Classic

[RingN2012]

Anybody had any luck getting an Nintendo Classic? When I first saw the $60 price tag, I thought this would be perfect. Not too much money to invest for some good ole nostalgia.
But ever since it debuted, i haven't been able to find one online that isn't at least 3x the original price.
I thought after Christmas that they would become available. This is not the case.
Anybody gotten one? Any theories on whethere they will be available soon to consumers who aren't willing to overpay?

Heh....they'll be available as soon as the secondary market goes away.

Heard Targets are getting the most inventory so look their first other than that you'll have to stand at GameStop while they unloading the truck

I got one from Primw Now right before Christmas for regular price. It's been a good bit of entertainment. You may be able to watch there for more

Get a raspberry pi. Much better than the classic. I just got one a couple of weeks ago and love it

You can play any NES, SNES, Genesis, and GameBoy games.

I got a refurbished PC. Mine is a bit more powerful so i can play N64 and PS1 games too.

Buy a Raspberry Pi 3 and get someone to program it with every NES game ever made.

I make the raspberry Pi consoles and they are better because you can add multiple consoles and many many more games. However, the NES classic is just cool in its own right, especially now that somehow has hacked it and provided how to add as many games as youd like.

I was waiting on that to happen.

How much would you sell one for? NES, SNES and maybe Sega if available would be nice

 

[civildawg88]

They are very easy to setup. You can buy a bundle on amazon and just watch a YouTube video and it takes like 20 minutes until you're playing games. I'm not tech savvy really but it was very easy for me

I got one dec 22 at Best Buy. Waited in line. There were a lot of disappointed people that got turned down. There were only 25 in the shipment.

I have what I'm pretty sure is a stupid question; can I use different controllers depending on the game? Basically, can I use a NES controller for the NES games, an N64 controller for the N64 games, so on and so forth?

I'm still working on getting the NES Classic at the moment but I'm intrigued by the Raspberry Pi. I have to be able to use the appropriate controller for the corresponding game though.

 

[civildawg88]

You would just have to buy the different USB controller but yeah you could.
This is the controller I bought and I really like it. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MZZKNLD?psc=1

There's honestly no reason to buy one from me. In a techie, but this is a very simple process. Buy a raspberry PI 3 kit in Amazon. I like the CanaKit. It's about $70 for everything. Then google RetroPie. It's very simple and you really dont have to have any tech experience at all. If you still dont feel
Comfortable just PM me. And yes you can swap different controllers for different consoles for those asking.

Does the resolution look alright on a large flatscreen? Like an 60"?

 

[civildawg88]

Yeah mine looks fine on my 55. You can mess with the resolution though if needed

also where is a good place to find roms?

I've got a hacked (may be too strong of a word) wii with every NES, SNES, game cube, and wii game on it. It's pretty bad ***.

YouTube search wii homebrew

 

[civildawg88]

I just googled and tried a couple of different websites. I think the one I've used the most is this one: https://www.emuparadise.me/roms-isos-games.php

How difficult was it to hack the Wii?

Also if you built the Pi3 console would it be able to run Kodi as well or would it take 2 of the Pi3 consoles to do both?

 

[BigMotherTucker]

I had a buddy do it.... Apparently there's not much to it. YouTube wii homegrown. You'll find everything you need.

Edit... It's homebrew

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

It's very simple.

Every ROM i've ever downloaded has come from this place.


you can also download huge rom packs from torrent download sites like the pirate bay.

Just got my Pi3b but for some reason my microSD cards will not read with the reader I have. They just do not register as a storage device with space at all. Went to Walmart, bought a new card, still nothing.
