OP, there's one thing absent from your reckoning: the games themselvesYou can emulate ALL of these on a Wii for peanuts.
>ultimatelol, maybe it's the ultimate retro gaming setup if you don't want to play N64, Mega Drive, Dreamcast, PS2, Xbox, GBA, etc
>>11514079Fair point, but it only comes to $194 dollars. The extra $106 can be used for flash carts and a PS1 modchip or you could pick up cheap copies of japanese games like Mario, Street Fighter, Metroid, Tekken, R-Type for $3-10 each.
>>11514083meant for >>11514081
>>11514082Half of those are shitty zoomer consoles a $300 pc coudln't handle and the other half can be got for pennies from Japan also.
>Half of those are shitty zoomer consolesNot even worth a (You)
>>11514079>PCE without CD addon
>>11514081even the cheapest clone flashcarts would more than double OPs estimateOP is a fag
>>11514096You can get a gameboy, famicom and super famicom everdrive and ps1 modchip on aliexpress for under $100 usd, the picrel totals $194. Cope.
>>11514097The picrel is a ridiculously low estimate, as is your supplementary estimate, faggot OP.
>>11514097Okay, but why should I buy all of these over a dirt-cheap Wii that will play all these systems and many more?
>>11514079boom BITCH
>>11514102I based it off real prices for systems working in good condition with atleast one controller and I can prove it. Infact, I rounded up in some cases.
>>11514109And then you factored in the time spent camping mercari to actually get a good price, but your time isn't worth anything so that's why it looks like it isn't accounted for. Got it.
>>11514109good condition non yellowed consoles are going to be closer to $60-$100 each, not saying its impossible but if you don't scour ebay and just go for easy buy it now listings, it's going to cost more. I bought a 1chip snes recently and it was $80 for just the console. >source: i'm addicted to online listings of retro games
>>11514079where's the Dreamcast?
PS1:https://jp.mercari.com/item/m435145069952600 yen = 16.64 USD>>11514109
>>11514117>ps1 used as ashtray - $16seems right considering those systems look disgusting, now let's see the shipping cost anon
Apparently Japan uses a 50hz mains frequency in the east and 60hz in the west. Does that mean a Famicom bought in the eastern part of the country will start a housefire if you plug it into an American outlet?
Super Famicom;https://jp.mercari.com/item/m155777823323000 yen = 19.20 USD
>>11514117That's actually expensive for a PS1. You can get junk ones for 100 yen. Junk in the Japanese sense just meaning untested.Show the other consoles and show the average price they go for, not the one off listing where someone was clueless and someone got lucky.
>>11514079>no portability>no overclocking>no state saving>no controller choice>still 10x as expensive as the emulation optionI appreciate your dedication to hardware accuracy, but a $15 phone does almost everything your consoles are supposed to do and more.
>>11514123No, everything is made to work with both frequencies. It only really matters for certain appliances where they will do a shittier job in the east.
>>11514123Buy a $30 adapter and $100 converter bro.
>>11514123Only parts of japan use 50hz and no, there are no issues
>>11514131rofl
>>11514125These are buy it now prices, if they were impossible deals as you claim they would have all been gobbled up. You try too hard.
>>11514136both of those listings are like 10 hours old
>>11514136still wating for coregrafx average price and av famicom average price. I trust you are hard at work.
The one time I used an intermediary service the shipping was fucking outrageous and I wasn't buying anything as big as game consoles. 30 bucks shipping for 5 separate listings is extremely optimistic.
>>11514117Why not get a PS2 for the same price? It plays PS1 games.
>>11514079>Go on Amazon and buy a beelink for around the same price>able to play everything that falls under board rules and every arcade game on top of thatreally tough choice here
>Can play ZERO Saturn, arcade, PCE, N64 games with itnah, only if you're the biggest normalfag in the world
>>11514103>wiiIt's 2025, just get a MiSTer clone for 240p emulation.
>>11514143I restore and RGB mod Top Loader Famicoms and PC engine duos regularly and sell them to my local market. I check Mercari most days and OPs prices are accurate. I bought 3 top loaders for under 45 this week alone. Working SNES and ps1s are listed for around that price daily, using the sold filter on Mercari proves it. You need to learn when to stop talking, you've lost.
>>11514174>just pay 500 bucks instead of 5
>>11514179Clone boards are 100 dollars.
>>11514148No need as it's clear your just baiting/trolling and don't have genuine curiosity. If someone else is divided on the issue Ive proved my point enough to where they can look up the prices themselves instead of hearing "because I said so" from you.
>>11514180and a Wii?
>>11514184Completely outmoded in 2025. It's not even able to play Saturn or arcade boards.
>>11514186>It's not even able to play Saturnwait for the next seta-gx update
>>11514079You brought the poorfags out and made them cry like babies, thank you.
>>11514189https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvkEtf-l0Q4>dogshit lagging to hell console emulation>all comments are in Portuguese Iconic combo.
>>11514192That's why I said wait for the next seta-gx update. The dev is rebuilding the old Yabause Wii SH-2 compiler from scratch, and has already implemented GPU-accelerated rendering (hence the superior graphics and performance compared to Yabause Wii). Picodrive on Wii has proven that the system is more than capable of SH-2 emulation.
>>11514202>hence the superior graphics and performance compared to Yabause WiiWhat did that render? Just a black screen?
>>11514205>What did that render? Just a black screen?Yeah Yabause Wii looked like absolute shite in most games. Radiant Silvergun looked fine but ran at single digit framerates kek. At this point the main performance bottleneck in seta-gx is the old SH-2 compiler
>>11514081I already have most of these but I still emulate
>>11514208All that to avoid paying a few hundred for original hardware, must be sad being a poorfag
>>11514208Yabause Wii:https://youtu.be/tbQQEBQ16lw?t=310seta-gx:https://youtu.be/oj24K9_dmmc?t=380The performance difference just from GPU-accelerated VDP emulation is very impressive
Mog "real hardware" spergs with 1 simply google search
>>11514079Which PC Engine should I get? Preferably with composite cables or better.
>>11514183>posts the cheap prices of piss-common consoles, but refuses to do so for the less common ones.Ha I wonder why.
>>11514079Where the fuck are you getting top-loading NESs for 45 bucks? You're lying, you stupid asshole. I hate you.
>>11514386Not one eBay that I can tell you. Go for JP auction.
>>11514386That's an AV famicom so it's not a crazy price for an untested one.It's a lucky price for one sold as working with a controller which were opie's conditions, but he's trying to say it's the normal/average price.
>>11514108>no monitorjust emulate on your phone
>>11514392Its a pretty normal price for a working one in japan, ebay resellers add 50-100 to the price of most consoles because they know the average boomer isn't going to bother with proxy services.
>>11514351Not the original one it only has RF and doesn't have turbo switches. Duo-R is the best as it is reliable and has CD built in. If you only want to play HuCards or keep a low budget go with CoreGrafx or CoreGrafx II.
>>11514351Get a Coregrafx if you are going to use a flashcard. A Duo-R if you are going to use actual games. The Supergrafx has six exclusive games (five of which are good) so get that if you want to play ALL the games (expect for a few shitty bootleg games that only work on the Duo, but I think those work if you use an everdrive).
>>11514081Too bad emulation development on the Wii has not been really active besides for the PS1. I'm not really sure the ones that exist are really accurate with high compatibility
>>11514079Consumer Trueflat CRT (cheap in Marketplace or streets)Wii modded with WiiFlow Lite with all the emulators backwards (plays PSX fine with WiiStation which is still developing).Native Wii and Gamecube execution, great emulation of things like PCE or SNES/Genesis.
Imagine the zoomer who follows this guide and gets some half-broken CRT that has been tossed out of the back of a truck and has completely fucked focus. They'll think the fuzzy image is le soul.
>>11514429seta-gx is in development too, plus emulation of 4th gen and earlier is pretty much a solved science
>>11514416Yeah I was wrong. I forgot just how overvalued burgerbucks are and how dogshit the yen is.
>>11514425>but I think those work if you use an everdrive).the only way to play supergrafx games on a pc engine is by using a super system sd3, which you can't use on a duo. and you can only play the roms i believeanalogue duo plays supergrafx games out of the box
>>11514079>CRT>freeoh you sweet naive boomer
>>11514435>Consumer Trueflat CRT (cheap in Marketplace or streets)"$800 I know what I got"
>>11515689I have never paid for a CRT and I've gotten 3 in the past 2 years
>>11514152It's way easier to play burnt PS1 games on a PS1.
>>11515746Mechapwn and you're done. No modchip needed.
>>11515748Only if you have a model that supports it.
>>11515757Then buy one of those instead of being a retarded nigger claiming soldering a modchip onto a PS1 is easier.
>>11514174But it doesn't play GC or Wii games or triforce games. It's also easier to play Sega CD games with a lightgun(snatcher) on a Wii, or many other consoles plus the Wii lightgun games. Not the greatest but easy and still enjoyable. Mister is cool though, I'm not knocking it's capabilities.
>>11515770Nta, but it's pretty braindead simple to solder a modchip on a PS1.
>>11515778In Australia I can buy a PS2 for the price of a PS1 modchip lol...
>>11515770>claiming you need a modchip to run burnt PS1 gamesSwap trick, baby. If you're feeling fancy, you can use it to boot a Tonyhax disc, then install the exploit to a spare memory card so you don't need to swap again.
>>11515780Well then just buy a PS2. I have 2 ps1s and 3 ps2s, mate. Put another shrimp on the barbie
>>11515781>Swap trick, babylmao, that requires you to already have a retail disc on-hand already, and perform surgery every time you want to play a game (which is bad for the motor). At this point you've given up on proving that it's "way easier to play burnt PS1 games on a PS1">TonyhaxSo you need a specific exploitable game already on-hand, and it takes forever to launch, and you can't save to the TonyHax card, AND you need the TonyHax card in Slot 1, meaning that yes you do have to swap memory cards in the great many games that do not let you save to Slot 2.
>>11515805>At this point you've given up on proving that it's "way easier to play burnt PS1 games on a PS1"If I'm looking to buy a used PS1 or PS2 online, you think the seller's going to care to list the model number? If I buy a PS1, I know I'm buying a console I can swap discs on.>So you need a specific exploitable game already on-hand... That's only to run that version of the exploit. There's a standalone disc you can run instead: https://orca.pet/tonyhax/boot-cd.htmlRead it and weep, bitch.
>>11515821>you think the seller's going to care to list the model number?You can LOOK at it to see if it has an i-link port.
>>11515821>There's a standalone disc you can run insteadYou've given up on attempting to prove it's "way easier to play burnt PS1 games on a PS1", and now you've given up on moving goalposts; you've simply accepted that you are mentally retarded and are shitting out nonsense onto the screen.
>>11515832I assume you want one that lacks that port if you want to run Mechapwn, yes? >>11515840I'm sorry, I didn't know you were going to jump to conclusions based on one word. The standalone disc exists, and you're willfully ignoring it to support your argument.
>>11515849>The standalone disc exists, and you're willfully ignoring it to support your argument.You're willfully ignoring the screenshot I provided that demonstrates that the boot CD requires a chipped console in the first place. I'm not in the mood to argue anymore, just kill yourself. Playing PS1 backups is easier on a PS2.
>>11515873If you can swap a disc, you can run the standalone. I thought that was clear.>Playing PS1 backups is easier on a PS2.Only if you have the right model. Buying the right one is a gamble.
>>11515781I found out the hard way that Japanese PS1 models still requires disc swapping even if you have the tonyhax international or unirom installed on your cheat cart or memory card. Tested both options using my SCPH-1000 PS1.
>>11515881Didn't know that. Good to be aware of.
>>11515878>swap a discstopping the motor causes damage to your system, and ps2 isn't really a gamble when you can see which ports it has/look at the sticker. also like anon said jap ps1s are a no show which defeats the point of this thread
>>11515689it just depends on whether or not you're willing to carry the burden of a full sized living room model. if you're willing to haul 32in you can find free ones all over the place. if you want a nice small bedroom/desk tv for your setup, yeah good luck finding that free.
>>11515928>also like anon said jap ps1s are a no show which defeats the point of this threadFair enough. My fault for not catching that.
>>11514186Oh no guys it can't play Saturn, we might miss out on the whole 1 games that are better than their alternative!
>>11517039Mistersisters... I thought it was suppose to be better than software emulation.
>>11514079>300 bucks>plus $$$ for games or flashcard/drive emulator>No cheevos>No digital output>No bitches
For $600-700 you can go on ebay and buy a custom-built PC that will play anything 2013 or older on max settings and emulate anything 6th gen or older, as well as a decent 24 inch monitor, good speakers, a good keyboard and mouse, USB controllsr, headphones and all cables. It will all take up only a desk's worth of space, will be easy to clean and maintain, will be useful for more than playing games, and it will last you the next 10+ years. It is a significantly better investment than any of these tinker toys and it will give you a million times more value. You're retarded if you haven't moved onto PCs at this point.
>>11514079>buys the systems but not games for themactually accurate to the elitist branch of retro gaming
>>11514086>half of these are shitty zoomer consoles>newest one is playstation that came out before zoomers were bornNice try
One single 3DS can do all of this shit for ¥7500
