  • No repairs in this video, but I pick up a few things I've ordered online for repair. In this video I'll open them, do a basic test and see what I've got.
    Do you have any suggestion of what you want to see next? Hit me up in the comments below.
    Want to buy me a beer? Or the cost to ship a console to me? Feel free to leave any donation in the link below. www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr...

    Super Mario 2 was released in Japan as "Doki Doki Panic", and then reskinned for USA market. Actually it was a good move not only because the original game was difficult, but also because the graphics on both games were identical, and featured only a few improvements.
    SMB 2 Japan only version was then re-released in USA as "Lost Levels". But in reality the Lost Levels version is nothing compared to the original game. Nowadays its not that difficult to pass this game with use of save states in your emulator, but I personally wasnt able to get to an end, probably like many other players in Japan during 80s. This game really is challenging just like the Kaizo Mario romhacks

    @BobofWOGGLE 6 лет назад +1

    I think the short cords on old consoles are less because of japanese space constraints and more because the console sort of _is_ the cord, the power and a/v cables were so long that you could have the console next to you instead of the TV. Old pong consoles did the same thing.

    • @RetroRepairs
      @RetroRepairs  6 лет назад +1

      Bob Woggle fair, but the atari 2600 had a massive power cord, and still 6' cables on their joysticks. Could be a combination of the two. Space constraints still come into play, as you can't sit on two different chairs like many do in North America when playing multilayer.

Now people use this low cost high shipping thing like a $3 item with a $30 shipping charge like its going directly to your house on a private jet inside a box full of temperpedic pillows while inside a fire proof safe and taking a lap around the world......only to find out your less than 1lb item is coming from a neighboring state.

    You need a better camera setup. Doing all that with a box cutting with one hand makes me nervous.
    If that guy was bitter over selling a Dreamcast for $10, he could have set the bid at a minimum. Like $50, or something. To me even a broken Dreamcast is worth at least that. Though it looks like even 'working' ones are selling for $50, which is surprising. I thought they would be going for around $200.
    I would love to have a Famicom. That would be some nice piece of retro hardware.

      Battery repairs are easy on these. You'll need to order a replacement battery with tabs, and a bit to remove the security screw. It involves soldering, so you'll need to borrow an iron if you don't have one. I don't know if I've done a battery video for a gameboy cart yet

      Games that are a solid color work on the original GameBoy. Ones that are a transparent color are GBC exclusive. Pokemon Gold, Silver, Wario Land II, Mega Man Xtreme, and Game & Watch Gallery 2 and 3 are a few games that work on original GB. Pokemon Crystal, Super Mario Bros. Deluxe, Mega Man Xtreme 2, Kirby's Tilt & Tumble etc. are GBC exclusive. They work on the original GB because they only took advantage of the GBC's color but not's it's storage or memory or anything like that.

      Some GBC games took advantage of the GBC's color but not it's new memory or anything so they are backwards compatible with the og GB. They're usually black (but sometimes come in different colors) and are a solid color. If a GBC game is a transparent color then it is GBC only. Pokemon Gold and Silver work on the original GameBoy (and many other GBC games) while Pokemon Crystal doesn't (like many other games). Look up the list of ones that do and don't
