Was just bored and wondered some good deals people got.

I bought a gamecube with all the cords and a controller for $15 off some dude at a flea market last summer.

I also once got a PS2 slim (no cords) with a controller for 5 bucks.

oH, and I once got a wii with a Wiimote and all the cords for $4, b/c the guy's son was moving out and he was selling all the stuff his son left behind.

N3DS for 95 bucks a few days ago. Both screens are sort-of damaged, but everything else was flawless. I got A9LH installed on it and was hype.

I was given a PS4 for an RGH'ed 360 that he supplied the 360 for. I only had to supply the chip, a recycled 320GB HDD, and labor.

I got a couple of N64 Hori Mini Pads at a used electronics store in rural Japan for about 5 bucks each.

My parents don't even know. I told them I found it out by the dumpster (we found several hundred dollars worth of stuff there before) and they think that's the truth.

i got a ps2 + linux kit all set up, for free, hardly used it though :)

scum.
Shithead.
I only did it because we're poor and I never would have gotten one.

ur Parents: Why did you steal that PlayStation 5 at Walmart?

You: It was just sitting there in the open on a shelf and I'm pretty sure everyone forgot it was there


(I'm just joking btw)

I got Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance for about $10 at a pawn shop once. Not much other than that.
I got Mario Kart Super Circuit, Yoshi topsy-turvy, and Pokémon Pinball ruby and sapphire for 15 bucks total at a retro gaming store in the bad part of town.


It was very ghetto there.

Hey, where did you say you lived again? I left something at your house the other night when I was there. :rofl2:

I got an Old 3DS for free because someone left it out in the open at school and forgot about it.
Came with Pokemon Black. :D
Remember: it isn't stealing if you're not caught. :ph34r:
Stealing other people's property doesn't constitute a deal. "Hey I got a great deal on these bags of money from the bank, absolutely free"

Okay, fine. Hmmmm...
.......
.......
.......
I think best deal was...
...
...
maybe...
...
that doesn't count as I stole it as well...
...
...
hmmmm...
I guess it would have to be PS2 games in general. I always buy the ones that are $1-$5 because sometimes glitches or random games you've never heard about can be fun.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it
    +1
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards
