How do i get the Original PS2 Phat Power supply?
I find it so dumb that black and white button are not useable. I mean, this controller is meant to be the OG duke, and i want to experience it how it was on release. Adding 2 additionnal buttons on the back was a nice idea, but making them your only option to play the games is literally stupid, especially for the price (50 bucks for a controller that is 20 years old, nearly as much as a Xbox serie or Dualsense controller). Idk ... It is supposed to be for Xbox fans, but at the same time you cannot play it how it was intended at release ? They add buttons, but instead of making them extra they make them mandatory ?? Only wired, and 50 bucks. To me it is not worth the investment.
Definitely a must buy!
I have a psp 3000 and purchased it 2nd hand. It played fine for the first 15min, it's battery drained fairly fast as I assumed it was not the original battery. I put it on charge and the orange light flashed. After some fiddling it's went solid again. A few hours later came to check and the orange light was off. Assuming it was charged I unplugged it and tried to power it on. With no luck. It only powered on with charger connected. Once on it would flicker the battery icon and date / time icon. Not sure what's going on. Went to a local game store and they has a psp battery plugged it in and waited but it did not show the orange light. Left the psp at the store as they said it takes along time to charge. So basically is my psp dead or does a replacement battery take along time to charge.
Skip. Nothing hear worth wacth8ng.
Hi, I’ve been running into this same issue which is fixed by clearing the HDD cache but unfortunately appears to return after the disk is removed and reinserted into the console. Do you have any suggestions as to what might fix this issue or should I just live with having to reset cache every time I would like to play Terraria?
I still have two 360's 🟢
Okay this didn't help at all, how the fuck do you get the battery out of it. You didn't explain you just showed how to take the cover off, the battery wasn't even inside so this help me with absolutely nothing.
me who wants to do comp melee 😭 f it ima just have to spend more on a better one :/
yeeeeeeah for competitive melee you almost NEED an OEM
I got the Retron 2 hd and the Retron 3 hd , they are both great.
Thank you thia ia very help full
Just found my dad’s old SNES and N64 and about 50 games total in our shed!! Thanks so much, this video is gonna help a lot for us to clean them!
Lets go!! Basement/Shed/Attic finds almost ALWAYS need a good clean down! Might need to give it a few passes with the alcohol to get all that aged ~patina~ off the contacts. Have fun!
😂 no offense but if I'm going to spend more than twenty dollars on something I need gameplay footage of it being used.😂
Deberían cambiar ese control es horrible ojala construyan un control con la cruzeta un mando inalámbrico mejor
hey does the retron 2 use emulation?
The only RetroN consoles that are emulation is the RetroN 5 and the RetroN SQ. The other consoles are all System on a Chip style consoles that read the roms directly from the cartridges.
Te amo
Thank you 🙏
i can’t get mine to work and i’m not sure why. i picked up the pikachu special edition console from a cex, got the power pack and the rf modulator that comes with it. pikachu powers up but no matter what channel we put it on it doesn’t work. follow the manual too and even on what’s supposed to be the correct channel, nothing happens. same blue screen as before, theres also no noise coming from the console? ik i wont hear any game noises until it’s properly on but id expect to hear some sort of mechanical whirring?? i’m at a loss honestly. it should work as we plugged it into the av slot and the tv should have a direct feed
Try cleaning your game cartridges! 90% of the time that is the issue. We have a video going over how to do it, but it's just 91% alcohol, a Q-tip, and rubbing down the board contacts. The N64 is pretty dang quiet, no real whirring or noise will be audible from it. Might also be good to check under the little panel at the front and make sure there is a jumper pak inserted because if there isn't, the console will power on but not operate.
I purchased a cheap ps4 controller from Amazon, can’t even find a brand name on it. In my opinion you are much better off to pay for the expensive factory controller or a legitimate option. Knock off controllers have extremely poor batteries and the actual controls respond poorly. ( don’t even attempt to online play). Save up and buy an authentic one.
I thought that people blowing into their NES cartridges was a thing we outgrew in the 1980's, but in case your customers haven't all been convinced... for pete's sake, can you please stop blowing into the cartridge connectors? I'm going nuts every time you're doing that! - Yes people grew up doing that, but speaking as a retro/vintage gamer AND as game store repair guy, I promise you that Nintendo's old cartridge systems are pretty much rock-solid, and as long as you NEVER BLOW ONTO THE CARTRIDGE CONNECTORS, and instead use swabs and alcohol/window cleaner, you'll rarely if ever have problems with the carts. If there's tons of build-up of green on the connectors, like you got the game at a pawnshop or flea-market and it's been ages since it's been clean, you might try using a pencil-eraser to rub off the corrosion (open the cart with a security-bit if needed to make doing the overhaul easier), but basically if the cartridge connectors are clean and shiny, and the console's connectors are in good shape and clean too, then everything should be making good contact, and you should have no playback problems. ------ Blowing on the cartridge gets the moisture from your breath (like a toaster in the bathtub) gets a temporary electrical (communication) connection going, BUT it dries and starts to corrode the connections. And if you keep blowing, the corrosion gets worse, and you're in a downward cycle of making the corrosion get worse and worse and eventually the cartridge won't work anymore, and what's worse is that the corrosion gets from the cartridge connectors and into the console itself AND then from there it gets onto the other cartridges. It spreads. --- Eventually you'll have problems with all of your games and consoles, and you may have to overhaul your entire collection and clean EVERYTHING out, and the consoles too, and clean each cart every time before you insert it into your consoles to make sure there's no more corrosion ever. --- I had to do that once when I began collecting... I was buying "broken" consoles and the nastiest cheapest Nintendo cartridges from pawnshops and flea-markets... at the time, I was re-building the collection I had lost, and after EVERYTHING was clean, EVERY cart was having perfect shiny connectors, I never had any problems again, everything worked. ------ SO DO NOT BLOW, CLEAN THE CARTS PROPERLY AND KEEP THEM CLEAN! --- even Nintendo's customer service told me a moist alcohol swab (not dripping wet) will keep them maintained, small amount is all you need. - Hope this helps keep your games working. I built up a collection, and out of HUNDREDS, I only had one cart that refused to work... took it apart, and a few of the connections had literally corroded away and no longer existed. - STOP BLOWING, thank you

I literally have a mad catz controller with that weird end bit
Hi do you know if these consoles are region free?
The RetroN 5 is the only one that has a dedicated Famicom slot since those cartridges are significantly different than the NES ones. The SNES slots do fit the Super Famicom cartridges since they don't have the plastic tabs that prevent them from being inserted like on an OEM SNES. The RetroN 5 is the best for other region games tho since it has the option to load Language Patches on the SD card.
@@NostalgicVideoGamesArcade So can the RetroN 1 play both PAL and NTSC cartridges?
re: Retron 3 looking better than the Classiq on SMB1? Mario looks all brown-ish on Retron 3. I'd take the Classiq no question for that game.
It's been a long time since I've been to the store. Because my mom is always working. Which is good of course. Just hoping to go over there soon. I love the store. And i love the employees. You guys are Amazing.
Hope to see you soon!
$65 for PS4 controller
Ostent batteries are the way to go
Eswap best controller
But how do you connect a Japanese Dreamcast to an American tv?
This is my favorite: thingiverse thing 2874416
so fuck you KZread for not letting me fucking share links. Again, FUCK YOU KZread
I would love to have one. But it's to expensive for me. Just hope and pray that it will cheap in Jesus name.
I remember getting a box full of video games for free. And just selling some of them to this store. Some i wish i didn't sell and some i am glad i did sell. And i hope to anyone bought some of my games i hope that you enjoy them. God bless.
I recently picked up an original copy. This is one of the hardest games I’ve ever played in my life. Good thing it has cheat codes I guess because I just don’t have the patience for something that takes years of practice just to play.
HAH yeah! Adam had to use the cheats while streaming just so he could show off more than the first couple levels.
I used 71% alcohol earlier today not knowing of this. Is it ok??? I spent a lot of money on these games I really don’t want them to be broken.
Should be alright! Don't worry. Trust me, when I was young and stupid I used to use NAIL POLISH AHHH that stuff is way worse for the pins with lots of water and acetone is a NO NO as that'll just destroy stuff if left on too long. But despite my naivety, all my games I used it on still work. As long as you wiped them down with the dry end of a Q-tip there really shouldn't be any problems. It's more of an over-time type thing, if you use it over and over again it can start to slowly rust/oxidize the pins.
@@NostalgicVideoGamesArcade thank you
I have it ands it's the worst it's so bad that I couldn't hit a shot at all or anything and circle button is also bad
Omg I'm so grateful you posted this! My son just bought his game today and was very upset! You absolutely made his day!!!
Glad I could help!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU MY HERO YESYESYES YES THABKY UO!!!!!!
One day, I'll get my hands on the Sega Genesis, SNES and NES clone consoles for my gaming setup
How do I get the wireless controller to work? I have the wireless controller plugged into the retron but when I put a cartridge in, it says that the controller doesn’t have enough buttons for the game to play
Might be that you're trying to play a Genesis game that requires the 6-button controller? Not sure. Despite that, the wireless controller is pretty garbo. I'd suggest finding a wireless SNES or Genesis controller to use on it if you're really dedicated to using wireless.
The answer is to get a steel bowl. Then you'll never have the problem again.
Titanium reinforced dura-steel diamond plated carbon fiber N64 'troller
What do I do if my cable has yellow, white and red on both ends
That's the wrong cable :( Those are super standard AV->AV cables, most VHS/DVD players, as well as NES consoles, used cables like that. Unfortunately the N64 has a proprietary cable that is shared with the SNES and GameCube, so you'll have to purchase a new video cable.
Mine doesnt even have th cache option
FYI the wireless network adapter isn’t needed. You can use an Ethernet cable to connect which will almost certainly be faster due to the older wireless protocol used (a/b/g), wireless n is available in the black dual antenna adapter.
ALWAYS the preferred option! If I didn't mention that in the video that is TOTALLY on me LOL!! A lot of customers at the store I have found always go with the Wireless adapter, since most don't have their router/modem close enough to the console or, if you're like me, live in a house that doesn't have Cat5/Cat6 cable run through the walls. OOF
@@NostalgicVideoGamesArcadeyea, just found it odd you didn’t mention it. Honestly for that you can always get a wireless bridge or turn a wireless router to bridge mode. Then you could get WiFi 5/6 etc speeds without running cable through your house. Although definitely beyond the scope of this video but might be a good future video for 7th gen console owners!
The cylinder at the end of the cord is to reduce interference. I love your store by the way, i just stumbled upon your KZread channel!
I want one to play gamecube games on my wii
can you use the ps4 official paaddles on it?
I have the slim ps2 and i wanted to ask what the power cable is called?
The slim uses it's own thing, just a PS2 Slim Power Supply. The "official" name is Sony 8.5v AC Adapter for Playstation 2
The games actually come with legit copies of them? ( I have each of them on switch the collector's editions)
They are officially licensed reproduction GBC carts, so they aren't ORIGINAL, but hey are official legit copies licensed and produced by Limited Run and the original publishers. A cool way to get an official cartridge that plays on OG hardware
00:10 yeah thank Frick we thrown it away
I heard romhack and.... The only roms I play are randomizers.
That is essentially what Ancient Dungeon is! Randomized dungeon
