A common problem with n64s is the power supply/cord. If it has the original one the PCB is probably broken at a common spot and they reset randomly, i think as they heat up the board expamds and breaks the connection at the break. Its very annoying. Getting a new cord fixes it.
Actually it could also be failing capacitors. My N64 reboots like this too (though a bit most times not as soon/often as in this video). I confirmed not a cord problem. I measured voltages and the 12v line was around 7v or so....mine definitely needs a recap. His likely does too.
There are two problems with using the Sega 3D Glasses on a flatscreen. One is that there's too much delay, so the "shutters" on the glasses won't be timed right. The other problem is that your TV is trying to deinterlace a 240p signal, so you're not seeing one frame at a time, you're seeing a mishmash of the last two frames, which completely ruins it. A properly made scaler solves the latter problem and if you can tune some extra delay in so that it re-aligns you could solve the former problem.
This video was amazing! I loved seeing all the cool retro tech that you found at Goodwill. The N64 stuff was especially awesome, and I'm so jealous that you got the Hot News 64 VHS tape. That's such a rare find!
"Crush me big monkey crush me!!!" Jesus Christ, Sherlock Holmes was right there really is nothing new under the sun. That sounds like something somebody would say in relation to Donkey Kong today.
We have lots of Goodwill around us, most good stuff they place on their website and auction. My only gripe is the CEO's get about 90% of all profits which leaves around10% going to actual charity, and the stuff is donated.
I just want to know if you booted up the Master System without a game card or cartridge in it and press up and the 1 & 2 buttons at the same time to see what built-in games it has on it.
sega mastersystem "evolution" (i believe is a fourth interation) is still oficially sold here in Brasil through a company called Tec Toy, it's market value is R$312,55 about US$63,24
Missile Defense 3D with the shutter glasses and the lightgun was my absolute favorite game on the Master System. It was mind blowing at the time, no one had anything similar and I chose the Master System after playing it side by side with an NES at the store daily for two weeks. I found the Sega games appealed to me much more than the NES games. I was 26 when this came out and it was the first console I owned. I played the Intellivision and the Pong clones, along with the Atari, but they were nowhere close to actual arcade games. The Sega came closer than anything before it.
My gma donated my NES system with about 40+ games and my orignal ps1 with damn near 100 games for free to goodwill.... she thought no one would want old systems... this was in 2006 wen i was away playin Junior Hockey up north.. im still at a loss for words. She really testing my love for her😅
In that short of increments though? You wouldn’t even get a chance to really play. Additionally out of all the McDonald’s I’ve been too I’ve never once seen their system automatically reset.
I loved to see the 3D glasses for the Mastersystem. It's the exact same tech i had for my 3DFX Voodoo2 GPU in the 90s, i got a bundle which contained the card + the glasses, which had a special port for them.. the Stereoscopic 3D was really dope in Quake and some select other games!
Im pretty sure I was bidding on that Odyssey 300 and you guys bid much higher than what it's worth. Hopefully you guys sell this stuff to people who actually want to play it and enjoy it.
So fun fact about the Gamebot OG battery pack - you could also use it with Sony Walkman/Discman portable audio players. Likewise, if you find a Discman with the car power adapter, you can use that adapter with the Gameboy.
About 12 years ago, I bought a complete Master System that's with every known game and almost all the assesories that come with it for 50$ at Goodwill. Sadly, I lost it and all of my old game collection in a house fire.
Nice consoles, Austin :) You can use a rubber band to wear the 3D stuff to your regular glasses. I would like to have a Magnavox system though :) in my collection
If you're attempting to send the video from the Odyssey through coax to a TV that uses an ATSC tuner, it's unlikely to work. (There are some older bridge TVs that had both but they were rare and expensive.) Try feeding the signal through your VCR/DVD combo unit and using the composite output to your TV. If that doesn't work, then perhaps a collab with Adrian's Digital Basement is in order?
The N64 was a DEMO console. I used to work at a Walmart when we used to have them so kids could play Pokémon Stadium. They’re programmed to reset cause they would be on for hrs
Or that the odyssey just needed a CRT TV to hook into. Kinda makes u wonder what kinda "tech" guys they really are and whether all the cool free stuff they get would prob be better used in someone else's hands
my school used to have the second chromebook you showed... apparently one caught on fire because someone kept turning the camera and it melted it so my school donated them to the tech department (not the melted one) so we could learn whats inside them and take them apart and put them back together, so that was fun. also the video footage from the mavika reminds me of the true crime videos that use videos from the 90s (i love it)
So many great memories with the SEGA Master System. My cousins had it, and I played the 3d missile command game every time I visited. My grandma even got mad at me for holding the light gun - "But I'm shooting down missiles! It's not a violent game!"
Omg, those Lenovo Chromebooks, specifically the N23 was one of the three different models that my high school went through, first the N22, then the N23, then the 100e
12:50 Monopoly on the Switch is *rough* 😅 I play Monopoly Plus on my Xbox One instead and my whole family loves it! The best Monopoly video game ever though was definitely “Monopoly Streets” which came out on PS3, 360, and Wii.
One of those chromebooks is a Lenovo 100e, which had a WINDOWS 10 PRO sister model that actually is windows 11 compatible due to it having a TPM 2.0 chip. I owned the 128GB nvme SSD version for about a year, and SUFFERED the entire time I had it. Now the happy owner of a ThinkPad T580.
11:00 go get Ben Heck to repair those consoles Austin! He has great knowledge in repairing and modifying consoles to the point that he made portable models.
My 10 year old Chromebook doesn't even properly load my bank's website anymore, I love that little sturdy thing, outlasted much more expensive laptops, it's now relegated to the computer distraction when my nephew wants to watch UA-cam.
The Odyssey is probably outputting some kind of video that would show on an old analog CRT TV. I remember having an old 'pong' that needed the horizonal hold played with every time. The modern flat screen TV logic is likely not recognizing a valid video signal.
That chromebook that updated to 119 is one we use at school. All my friends have them and I used one for a little while before I got my own laptop. They're not the greatest for anything but youtube videos.
Give me Wonder Boy in Monster Land and that’s all I’d need with that Master System. I used to play it on my uncle’s console in their spare bedroom when I would visit them in Oklahoma as a little kid.
I am now a freshman in high school, but I remember using the Chromebooks with the handle back when I was in first grade my guy. So IDK what you mean by a "more modern system" when those are now like 8-10 years old.
That Chromebook N23 or whatever, is the Chromebook I used in school for many years and got as a graduation "gift". It was very slow and almost useless for anything other than super basic documents but kinda my first "decent" laptop.
YEAH BOY! I STILL HAVE THAT GAME BOY CASE! That case is durable! But had to remove the Gameboy game holder, to hold more games.. since I think it only holds.. 10?
Amazing deals I think the best find you had was the OG game boy carrying case with everything inside growing up I didn't have the case but I had the Game Boy and all the accessories

your name with the fact you know that 28 years after is funny

That gameboy bundle for $111 is an AMAZING deal
Especially cause gameboy stuff usually goes for bonker prices on goodwill finds

I really hope that they digitize that tape and put it online for the world to see. Stuff like that needs to be preserved for the ages :)
If you are a 6yo yes. Constant screaming and overacting to everything made it impossible to watch for me.
thats the most pathetic goatee ive seen in my life@@MladenMijatov
"Crush me big monkey crush me!!!"

i had no idea about this thankyou! i just tried it with mine and got a maze game
The Monopoly music is literally what all the ice cream trucks used to play when I was a kid.
The N64 constantly resetting is very common if the power supply has gone bad. Try a different power supply.
There's also a more rare case of dust inside/under the reset button, triggering this effect.
sega mastersystem "evolution" (i believe is a fourth interation) is still oficially sold here in Brasil through a company called Tec Toy, it's market value is R$312,55 about US$63,24
Does Brazil use PAL or NTSC? If it's NTSC I might have to pick one up, I haven't played a master system since I was 6.
@@Wearywastrel Brazil sadly, is PAL-M
@@Wearywastrel NTSC
Love that Austin is building an electronics museum, also love the white tee he added to the rotation

I played the Intellivision and the Pong clones, along with the Atari, but they were nowhere close to actual arcade games. The Sega came closer than anything before it.
My N64 had the same reset issue. Don't forget to clean the contacts in the console itself as well as the cartridges. Doing this solved the problem.
Don't clean the contacts too hard or you can rub off the traces on the board. Light pressure and a little bit of alcohol is your friend.
@@Thatonefuckinguy And then if you do end up rubbing the traces off a lot of alcohol quickly becomes your friend 🤣
My gma donated my NES system with about 40+ games and my orignal ps1 with damn near 100 games for free to goodwill.... she thought no one would want old systems... this was in 2006 wen i was away playin Junior Hockey up north.. im still at a loss for words. She really testing my love for her😅
Ouch come on grandma
My mom gave my original PS1 to Goodwill when I was a kid, it’s the only console that I haven’t kept my whole life
@KeiFresh same. Someone stole my GameCube but other than that I've been lucky!
The N64 might have been from a McDonald's. They were programmed to reset themselves every so often so another kid could play.
😅
In that short of increments though? You wouldn’t even get a chance to really play. Additionally out of all the McDonald’s I’ve been too I’ve never once seen their system automatically reset.
yeah i'm not sure if this is a thing...plus that couldn't be good for the machine could it?
I think your McDonald's had a busted reset button or dirty memory jumper
McDonald’s dgaf lol
9:14 when bro whips it out

Im pretty sure I was bidding on that Odyssey 300 and you guys bid much higher than what it's worth. Hopefully you guys sell this stuff to people who actually want to play it and enjoy it.
I had someone give me a full master system as a kid, but it was missing parts, so I sadly never got it running. Fun to see it playing here!
So fun fact about the Gamebot OG battery pack - you could also use it with Sony Walkman/Discman portable audio players. Likewise, if you find a Discman with the car power adapter, you can use that adapter with the Gameboy.

the N46 might be a store unit they will reset but it normally will have a custom cart with demos of several games on it

The mavica footage reminds me of like nostalgia for some reason lol
Please put that tape up on Archive omg that’s such a blast from the past 😂❤
Austin not realizing that the host of the N64 VHS was former Nintendo COO Reggie Fils-Aimé.
Or that the odyssey just needed a CRT TV to hook into. Kinda makes u wonder what kinda "tech" guys they really are and whether all the cool free stuff they get would prob be better used in someone else's hands
Look up any image of reggie before the 2000s, that's not him.
My N64 used to reset by itself, it was the PSU (Power Adapter), changed for a new one at it works like a charm since then.
Petition to stop the online shopping and start actually going to thrift stores and see what you can find.
Swing and a miss
First time seeing your channel. I'm reminded very much of the old show The Screen Savers on Tech TV.
my school used to have the second chromebook you showed... apparently one caught on fire because someone kept turning the camera and it melted it so my school donated them to the tech department (not the melted one) so we could learn whats inside them and take them apart and put them back together, so that was fun. also the video footage from the mavika reminds me of the true crime videos that use videos from the 90s (i love it)
Funny he mentions the CR48. I got one from goodwill a few years ago. Seemed to be a dev model though as it had debugging hardware apps on it
That Odyessey looks like a Job for TronicsFix!!! I smell a collab!
that sony mavica recording might not be great from a technical standpoint, but damn it has such a strong vibe :)
I have a few of those Nintendo VHS tapes too, they truly are amazing to watch now.
He forgot to blow in the cartridge.
Google recently announced Chromebook will receive updates for products made 2021, and after. They should get 10 years of support.
Crush me big monkey is wild 😂
Master System is my personal GOAT for classic console
So many great memories with the SEGA Master System. My cousins had it, and I played the 3d missile command game every time I visited. My grandma even got mad at me for holding the light gun - "But I'm shooting down missiles! It's not a violent game!"
17:01 The plus sign makes it look like a First Aid kit 😂
Omg, those Lenovo Chromebooks, specifically the N23 was one of the three different models that my high school went through, first the N22, then the N23, then the 100e

You definitely need to produce a 90's version of a Nintendo review with all the IN YOUR FACE lingo, and radical attitude. It would be HILARIOUS!
Hearing Austin say skippity boppity boop makes it all worth it
Wheew boy that took me back hearing someone exclaim: "It IS on Channel 3!" once again lol
9:20
I was sure that was gonna be a Cars 2 reference. Lol
11:00 go get Ben Heck to repair those consoles Austin! He has great knowledge in repairing and modifying consoles to the point that he made portable models.
Ahh yes, the Lenovo Chromeyikes, I remember it well
My 10 year old Chromebook doesn't even properly load my bank's website anymore, I love that little sturdy thing, outlasted much more expensive laptops, it's now relegated to the computer distraction when my nephew wants to watch UA-cam.
Thats guy that sits on the couch. 5:08
His beard reminds of tigger. With the orange wigh the black stripe running down.

Honestly the gameboy case is worth it just as a decoration for the background!
1:10 omg is that Nintendo's very own Reggie!? He looks so much younger lolz.
$111 is a sweet deal for that Game Boy. Here a complete Game Boy (just the console and Tetris) in box is $90 or more already.
That chromebook that updated to 119 is one we use at school. All my friends have them and I used one for a little while before I got my own laptop. They're not the greatest for anything but youtube videos.
Matt looked pretty unimpressed when you dropped the Chromebook Austin 😅 😂
Austin got those stolen and refurbished school chromebooks
Legends say Ken is still walking with the Mavica dialoging
Those chromebooks were the free chromebooks you would get during Covid for online school
Those chrome books are the exact ones that my school uses
That mavica video recording reminds me of those quality videos in nico nico douga lmost 20 years ago lmo
I had that Nuby Game Boy light... scratched the heck out of my screen sliding it on and off!! 😄😄
Give me Wonder Boy in Monster Land and that’s all I’d need with that Master System. I used to play it on my uncle’s console in their spare bedroom when I would visit them in Oklahoma as a little kid.
You gotta blow on the inside bottom of the cartridge to get it to work, everyone who grew up in the 80s and 90s knows that lol
Austin's take on monopoly is fucking wild! 🤣 You funny bro....
The first Chromebook is the same ones they gave us in high school can’t do much on them but they run really well for what it can do
My brother and I had those Gameboy cases. More or less to keep everything in. We didn't really take them anywhere that I recall. Lol
That odyssey you need to get a coax adapter. Just a little piece that plugs on the end of that.
The only thing missing is a Lucky rock to please and the footage filmed through video camera glasses.
I am now a freshman in high school, but I remember using the Chromebooks with the handle back when I was in first grade my guy. So IDK what you mean by a "more modern system" when those are now like 8-10 years old.

That happy dance was so cringe, yet it made me smile 😂
The 3D for the Sega works amazing on a CRT.
Had that same issue with my N64, getting a new power supply fixed it.
so austin is becoming a casual retro game collector i like it
When Austin says Nascar 2000 is a classic, butt has never played Kyle Petty's No Fear Racing. 🤦🏽♀️🤣
Haha nice! My first game console in the late 70's was the Odyssey 3000.
I got a SEGA Master System as a present for my Bar Mitzvah back in 1989.
2:17 min.: ...................... SO THE ONLY THING WORKING RIGHT NOW IS A VHS AND A NUM.2 PENCIL .......... MAJESTIC❤😂😂😂
...........................AND JOHN CENA ........ AGAIN,MAJESTIC ❤😂😂😂
11:18 min.: ..........................DONT LIE ITS NOT 17 TONS OR POUNDS ..... PSH ..... CONSUMER AWARNESS MONTH ❤😂😂😂
Send that odyssey into ODD TINKERING. If anyone can get that thing working it's him.
You can put chromeOS flex on the chromebooks to bring them up-to-date.
You should learn to do retro-brite. Restores the old cases to the game consoles very well and not expensive or very hard to do.
4:42 IM ON MY CHROMEBOOK 100E
"I don't remember the chrome yikes" 🤣
YEAH BOY! I STILL HAVE THAT GAME BOY CASE! That case is durable! But had to remove the Gameboy game holder, to hold more games.. since I think it only holds.. 10?
It seems like you have some bad capacitor in the N64, which is a common issue for old tech.
Bro. I had a 1965 VW Karmann Ghia and i immediately smelled that Odyssey 300.
You slide that game light on from the side that's what worked for mine in 1989.
I had that exact same Gameboy case and charger! So cool seeing it again!
"I wasn't ready for it" says the guy taking the picture.
The way the 3d glasses of the master system worked you could say it is the grandpa of the PlayStation 3d tv.
Funny thing is that the train station in the clip shot on the Mavica looks like it could have been 20 years ago...
Maze Hunter 3D was super fun, I think, haha its been so long since I played it.
Holy shit! I have that exact game boy case, the left side can store a bunch of games in cases and had room for a Game Gear.
Amazing deals I think the best find you had was the OG game boy carrying case with everything inside growing up I didn't have the case but I had the Game Boy and all the accessories
I remember getting one of those Nintendo VHS tapes back in the day that was an intro / preview of Pokemon
