Looking forward to playing Amoeba Jump on it in glorious HD!

Perhaps. I like to make stuff like that myself. Maybe that means I need a third unit running incognito mode, or incognetus as Archie would say.

Pretty excited about this one, now I can play 5200 with a reliable, self-centering controller. It works perfectly and I have a backup AT-5200 controller that also works perfectly.

I have a 4-channel oscilloscope and a 34-channel logic analyzer that I use for chip/bus timing analysis, clock frequency, etc. With the speeds of these older systems, you do not need to spend too much money on these. I think I spent less than $500 for the pair, but you could probably do better on ebay. Just make sure you have at least 10 samples per clock of the fastest component, more is better. So, a 2600 would require a minimum 36MS/s. An NES would require 220MS/s. A Sega Genesis would require 54MS/s. I'm working on hardware emulation of older chips right now where I have 8 operations on the new hardware to emulate 1 operation on the old hardware, so I analyzed the bus at 8 samples per clock to get the most accurate timing that I could recreate. You can probably find timing charts to help, but nothing beats seeing the systems tick. I've also pulled chips and built basic systems around them to run at 2Hz.

I have several 800 motherboards, but I'm really tempted to just buy a CPU card and build the rest from the ground up. Though with the way I buy stuff, I'll probably buy one and build one too.

I try to pay $0.75-$4 per game unless it's really special, $10-$30 for a 2600, $30-$60 for a 5200, $16-$60 for a 7800. I'd pay no more than $185 for the lot you listed including the shipping, and I would think I didn't get the greatest deal of I did. I have a 400 but I need to get an 800.

Still expensive but at least it's got some value added with a decent collection of games.

Anyone want a $700 7800? https://www.ebay.com/itm/40449019836 It is in about perfect shape, but $700??

Not a fan of RF, but I love the mild blur of composite video over HDMI when it comes to anything 8-bit.

Wonder if a 7800 diag cart could be made to identify the revision number of the console and the presence of an enable extra timing circuit.

@Thomas Jentzsch's face when

I'm gonna need to trade in my tinfoil hat for a tinfoil helmet, if I plan on staying in this thread.

The rest of that user's stuff is priced off-the-wall too.

That's the issue. They did not sell you tomorrow's cheeseburger, yesterday. Rather, the publisher of the game did, without considering that the company that provides the cheeseburgers was going to pull such a mean move.

Why would you buy two copies of the same video game (cheeseburger)?

What makes it a legal issue? I offer cheeseburgers for sale. You resell my cheeseburgers. You have a cheeseburger club that customers have paid you to join. I tell you that from now on, my cheeseburgers will be charged by the bite, not the unit. Even though you have several existing shops and several cheeseburger club members, that does not affect my ability to charge for each cheeseburger by the bite. If you did not write a changing price model caveat into your cheeseburger club rules, then that sounds like a you problem. I think it's wrong and a terrible business model, buuuuut I'm pretty sure that they are will within their rights to change the pricing model of their service at any point without notice, and that it's spelled out clearly in the EULA that you and everyone else skipped on install. What makes this a superthread? Capes?

Why not? Price models change on things all the time, even for existing customers. It's a service, not a contract.

Fitting that it was quoted on a Friday.
