And includes no controllers, no retro case, no memory card, no licenses for games and no expertise for the non-techie to know how to set one up. True that to truly benefit from this you will need to hack it, but you don't have to to enjoy it. Not sure why we have to go through this every single time. The Pi is a good option for some people, but not a one to one for these mini consoles.
They're not gonna go that low and you know it. At least not unless it goes on clearance. I bet the lowest they're gonna go for is $19.99.
Here is what I think the next move will be
Please don't feed the......whatever you call those things that comes into every single thread about any mini console just to thoughtlessly and mindlessly drops a random comment about a pi like a dog wandering into a random yard to pinch one off and then walk off. They don't understand, they just repeat what they see others like them say because they think it makes them witty and savvy. They regurgitate whatever the cool thing it is at the time to repeat.
Half the fun of buying these things for me is figuring out how to make them do things that they weren't meant to do. Any long-time gamer probably has at least one way to play these games already, so being able to hack it is the real point of buying a PS Classic. I will eventually tire of playing around with the Classic as I do with everything else game-related that I buy, and I've wasted more than $30 on games that turned out to be less fun than the Classic is.
This is a deals forum and you can expect people to talk about how good a deal is. Sometimes a product (like this one) truly is shit. Maybe you should try resetera if you don't wanna get your feelings hurt by reality.
I've tried to do this before. One time it worked, and another time the lady straight up said "oh, but we can't use Cartwheel with price matched items, so we'd have to do a separate transaction." It really just depends on who's ringing you up.
Get a redcard, use it as payment through the redcard app where you've also loaded the coupon. Have them price match, and then say my payment is through the app. If you feel skittish, add a small item (like delicious Rotel) that also has a Cartwheel deal on it at that moment. 90 percent of the time, it works every time.
Overthinking it honestly, as just holding up the app to scan will make them think you're paying with redcard. Once it's scanned it's over since you can just insert your card and pay. One guy thought I had a gift card stored and just announced the new price without a second thought. Mentioning coupons at all will just complicate things IMO.
why not? they could take it as a learning experience, now knowing that people won't buy it unless it runs well and has the marquee games the system is known for
Come on. For $25 or less you're getting something you can add (quite easily) any and all of the PS1 games to, plus just about anything you might reasonably want from all the previous generations of video gaming.
Question: Are there compatible dual shocks for the PS1 classic, or can it be modded so other similar controllers can work on it?
No single system is going to come pre-installed with every game everyone wants to play on it. It's just a great deal that you get to buy the system for $25, spend 5 minutes running an entirely automated hacking script, and then load every single game on an external HDD and have the entire library at your fingertips. It's fine if people don't realize the potential of such a cheap system, they aren't required to buy it. But it's a missed opportunity in favor of a statement that was already made, hence the massive price cut. It's ultimately only detrimental to the players who want to play PSX games but refuse to buy this on principle.
If you use RetroArch on it, many controllers are compatible. Not sure about Autobleem and Bleemsync. Some have had mixed success using PS1 to USB adapters.
8bitdo adapter use ps4 controller works on everything. otherwise is wired USB using retroarch. Wired doesn't work in bleem sync or auto bleem.
I dunno, $25 for a neo geo machine, seems legit.
