Is that not what the hack is backing up when you first run it? It might not be though, not sure.
If you legally own a game Roms are not a questionable grey area. These games didn't have crazy user agreements like everything does now a days. You're pretty much in the clear I'd say up to the 32 or even 128 bit era (lol remember instead of generations people talked about bits). Same goes for ripping a legally owned CD into an MP3....assuming you don't share that license with another person, you're pretty much in the clear.
Man I love brickseek. Doesn't always match up to actual stock, but it's mostly correct and saves a lot of wasted trips. My area is barren
Those "User Agreements" are actually not particularly enforceable. You cannot hold people to a contract terms by a click through or displaying a message, you actually have to sign it - else they have no way of proving it was you, and you agreed to it in sound mind. That's not the grey area. The grey area lies in the reverse engineering to extract the ROM then use it on an emulator - a DMCA thing. Even withstanding the whole User Agreement thing - you own a cartridge, not the code to do with however you please. The whole "it's completely legal if I own the cartridge" is just something emulation fans tell themselves to justify it, it has never been tested in court. And neither has the User Agreement thing, companies are hesitant to cross that bridge lest courts rule it isn't a contract and invalidate them all and throw their legal arguments into a tailspin.
I made an NES case out of Lego's that I think looks pretty good. You can find a few lego cases for sale but I decided to use my own and mimic the design. Haven't really seen a SNES one though.
Go to BR.com, read back several pages!.
If the store is close, I'd give it a shot. I got mine yesterday when it said 1 saleable.
If you care about the mods and playing roms then a retron 5 is the way to go...it has the easiest loop hole to add roms and the memory is expandable. No custom firmware is needed, you just load the roms from the retron cheats area. Theirs tons of youtube vids on it. This simple exploit lets you play Genesis, NES, SNES, FAMICOM, All Gameboy systems, and Master system roms. The only hick up is you need to pop in a NES cart if you want to play an NES game ect...but that just adds to the old school fun.I want one of these now that the mods are worth my time. My Gamestop said they got a shipment in Wednesday and it sold out already. They also said it was about a month in between so they probably aren't getting more soon.
I can wait, butebay flippers.
You're correct. I have been doing the same and got one this morning. Local store showed four. Got there before 8am. All were sold out immediately after opening.
Click the link that frosty47 posted above (post #356), then enter your zipcode and hit submit. It will show you what the Target stores in your area have in stock. All zeroes across the board for me.
Get a long HDMI. I wanted one of those too, but those controllers are so freaking tiny. No idea why Nintendo scaled them down. They went all in on the miniaturization thing.
You're worried about "catching flack"? You just sold a bunch of games that you didn't own. If you don't understand the difference between right and wrong, or illegal activities, this forum isn't going to change that. So congrats, you're a criminal.I'll probably catch flack for this, but I modded my last Nes Classic (added 650+ US Roms to it) and sold it on ebay for $295. Just snagged two of these bundles just now for $295 total after tax and handling fees, so they pretty much just paid for itself
I still definitely want to own one, but the opportunity cost of keeping it vs. modding/selling it is too much for me. I'll play my Mac emulators in the mean time until these are readily available
Did you get one? I remember you mentioning that someone was going to ship one to you.
If you take how many they have sold (1.5 Million) and divide it by 88 days (Nov. 11th) they technically make 17,045 of these a day.
What's to say I didn't own the game and wanted the digital versions? And anyone who bought it had that disclaimer as well, that they legally need to own the games in order to keep the preloaded gamesYou're worried about "catching flack"?

Thanks, Captain Lack of Sarcasm. Obviously, the demand has far outstripped the supply. If we were really being literal here, I would point out that most small electronics are produced in batches, so they don't actually make exactly 17,045 a day. Also, they would have had to produce some before November 11th in order to have them in the supply chain for release date. Just sayin'.
Intelligence, not character.
Lol, hey you never know. There might be a chance that everyone owns 600 plus NES games. Surely anyone who buys it will immediately go through the list of games and delete anything they do not own. Scouts honor. *Wink wink. Nugde nudge*
