    I liked this "challenge" idea of finding the cheapest set-up. Can't wait to see you work your magic on it.

    Too bad the Rocketeer game is not as good as the movie, heh!

    Great idea for a project. Give that S-Famicom a good dunk in the bath. I would have gone with that boxed version because I'm a sucker for boxes/art.

    I'm so glad you picked up the graffiti console 😂 But there were so many accessories that I haven't seen before. Definitely got your work cut out cleaning the console up but I hope you keep the messages if you can.

    • @ScruffyLookinRGB
      @ScruffyLookinRGB  2 года назад +1

      I will see what i can do. Maybe take a poll on if i should keep the graffiti or loose it. Either way its gonna be a fun mod for sure. Glad you got a kick out of it.

    Hmm, looks like that SFC was drawn on by a girl (Megumi), and there seems to be references to someone else (Maa-chan). I think there was a similar PS1 or other old console make the rounds on Japanese twitter a couple months ago. You should post a pic, maybe the original owner or friend will see it.

    Fantastic finds Scruffy! If ya get the chance, you should do Sega Saturn next. I've heard that they are more common in Japan than in North America.

    It was fun seing a hunt for parts! It´s something you can do when you have plenty of time in Akihabara. The Rocketeer though, ugh! I bought a cheap cart some ten years ago and was luckilly able to sell it. I´d be better off with one of those baseball games...

      Yeah, it’s almost impressive how boring the game ended up being considering the subject matter. I won’t spoil it, you’ll get to experience it yourself:) Just a helpful tip: on stage 1, watch the altitude meter, not the main graphics

    I got 8 super famicoms with 14 controllers from buyee for 38 euro. Shipping was 98 to Ireland. Customs and vat 25 % so it works out 20 euro each roughly.

    I like that you gave a try to all the shops and ended up mixing the purchases to get the best deal overall. Below $20 for a full SFC is hard to bit

    hmm those controllers are compatable with american stuff? Even the av cables? Seems like a crazy good deal, I kinda want some japanese consoles sometime. As long as I can get into the game and not have to read very much.

    • @ScruffyLookinRGB

    If the SFC motherboard is SHVC-CPU-01, replacing the 4 capacitors C57 to C60(100uf/6v) will solve the dark video issue.

    • @ScruffyLookinRGB
      @ScruffyLookinRGB  2 года назад

      Sweet thanks for the tip ill definitely keep that in mind. Did it seem dark to you? I guess ill have to do a direct comparison with another sfc.
