Used from a person over at neo-geo.com and it has the dsp-1 chip in it as well.
Lucky. I think I want one as it might possibly rekindle my gaming interest for that system (
that's why I'm getting a Turbo Everdrive), but that's why it'd be hard to justify a $190 price tag. If I loved playing videogames like every weekend as I used to when I was young, then yeah, it's worth it. These days, if I beat 2 or 3 games a year, it's a miracle. SNES had a great, solid library, but do I still love it enough to spend that kind of dough is the thing and then I'll have to track down worthwhile ROM images to use it with.
Anyhow, there's still something different about using a real console and just settling for the emulator, I dunno why. 'Bout the only game I beat with the ZSNES emulator was Terranigma after learning it was a Quintet game that had been released in the UK in English, but not in the US. It was a pleasure to get to play that I recall, interesting story and good action RPG in the mold of the prior stuff Quintet did. The other game that I can think of was this Japanese Wild West shooting one that was kind of fun... I tried to play Secret of Mana 3 with the fan translation patch, but I quit, I dunno, I wasn't feeling it plus those days I was more interested in spending all my time mastering the creating of fan translation patches myself for Ys games, oddly enough.
Recently, I was having fun doing the YPbPr mod for my SNES and I wound up playing some Super Punchout with it the other week (Wish the game was longer, takes 2-3 days really to learn enough to beat it, but it was good fun). So yeah, modding work has sparked some interest in a system that was collecting dust for like 12 years... but then I think about all the PS1 and
PS2 games I bought that are
still sitting unplayed/untouched (a game stack that I put next to my workstation, in my face, to get me to eventually play them, though it didn't work)... Meh. I haven't really recovered from when I was working on my Bachelor's to my first jobs upon graduation where I transitioned from rabid game player to moderate/occasional game collector who might play a game or two per year (some exceptions were made for FF games). This is also why I have that stupid backloggery thingy in my signature, to help me try to *finally* knock off some PS2 games I've had for years and years... A constant reminder that I've got a good gaming collection that I need to finish.
