@@kaboommusicmixer8149 Oh yeah we all do, but you usually need to go to Denki to see anybody Austin-related look into things further than surface level. I'd be genuinely shocked if Austin himself tried to do it.
The NEO-GEO was NOT unpopular, it was simply VERY expensive. The original cartridge version used the same roms as their arcade machines. The CD version was a more affordable alternative, but the cost was the slow loading times.
@@gawrshurab1035 Actually, The cartridges had different pinouts to prevent arcade operators from using the more affordable home versions in coin operated machines.
@@beepster991 untill people find a way to adapt em and now you can use the arcade cartridge on your neo geo which are way cheaper 😂, but yea i forgor about the pins
@@gawrshurab1035 As arcade versions are more expensive(on top of the insane collector market), I don't quite see the need. Mostly when there so many emulation options, including some from Neo Geo/SNK mini arcade machines.
Very small history lesson about the Neo-Geo CD : the Neo-Geo AES had Arcade-perfect port of games because it literally WAS an Arcade board, it was simply a consolized verison of the Neo-Geo MVS, which was used in actual arcades. Because of that, it cost a fortune, and the games were literally a whole arcade board, they were like $200 each, which wasn't a problem for an arcade, but was stupidly expensive in the early 90s. Since CDs were so much cheaper at the time, they simply replaced the "carts" (again, actual arcade boards) with a CD-ROM drive. Problem is, they cheaped out and chose a 1x CD drive, which were CRAZY slow, and not enough RAM into the console to compensate. It meant games had to load CONSTANTLY, and the load times were stupid, close to a minute, which was crazy for the Neo-Geo, which mainly had fighting games (imagine having to wait almost 2 minutes between matches because it had to load the character list after booting for 2 or 3 minutes, load the stage select screen, load the actual stage, load the round, load the second round and reload the character list after). Later, they released the CDZ, which had a 2x CD-ROM drive, making it finally bearable, but nobody really cared in 1996, when the Saturn and PS1 were already there (for informations, the PS1 had a 2x drive from the start, an easier-to-use RAM configuration, and dedicated VRAM, and the Saturn was essentially the same on that aspect)
Wow seeing Denki Blocks wasn't what I'd thought I'd see on an Austin Evans video! I QA tested that game way back when! I worked for Rage games in mid 90'S my name should be in the QA credits in game and in the user manual 😂 that's a blast from the past! I still remember watching in horror the events of 9/11 on a tiny CRT portable TV from the dev office at Rage Games. That's how long ago it was, sadly they went bust in the early 2000's then I think Codemasters took over the studio. Not sure if they're still in the same office in Birmingham UK?
Japan really does not mess around when it comes to shipping in general. I imported a set of Work Varianza V5S, a very elusive set of Japanese wheels, and they got to my place in only a week.
i love that Austin Evans still replies to UA-cam comments. one-time on an old account he helped me troubleshoot why a hard drive wasn't working for a console
Neo Geos weren't "very very unpopular" because of the games, though. The games were the exact same amazing games that Neo Geo arcade cabs played. They were only "unpopular" because they were ridiculously expensive (the cartridges were like 2-300 USD, and that's in 1990s money), or had outrageous load times (the CD version), and the hardware was expensive for both. The original home console was almost 700 dollars, and the CD version was a small run and still was 400 dollars. And again, that's in 90s dollars.
As a teen of the 80s, that boombox is tiny compared to what I saw back in the day. Heck, I remember people carried/wheeled around boomboxes in High School that were 5 to 10 times that size. It was nuts what some kids had!!!😁
That Daytona music is plastered on my brain. I worked at an amusement park when I was 16 and we had a row of them to race against other people and I heard that song so many times I will never forget it lol
I loved the shield Portable; I bought one when they first came out. Unfortunately, the screen's ribbon cable broke. Honestly, I would love to see another iteration of it.
I still have that Shield. It works really well, and it's the reason I dont own any of the other modern emu handhelds and can play everything up to psx. Needs TWRP custom bootloader then one of the custom OS builds. You can install using ADB. You do lose some nvidia functions though such as their custom game mapper, but emulators usually allow you to map buttons anyway. It's a great device!
I bought a celebi edition gba from buyee for like $80 they listed it as junk bc the batter cover clip was broken but the gameboy itself works great and the pokemon center sticker is completely legible
Wait, are the original Shields actually worth something now? I have my original one I bought, I believe, at PAX East the year they came out! I have the box, manuals, and everything somewhere around here...
You got a Saturn with a functional CD - that's rare. because the Saturn was notorious for Failing CD players. I got a Saturn too, and ofc. the CD is bust, works otherwise. I know that you can in fact remove the CD and get it replaced with a Loading kit were you can store your collection.
The radio; Typical Sony issue from that era. The reason the cassette doesn't keep playing is stiff grease. The little hook that is supposed to hook the play button is not engaging. The headstack also probably doesn't move freely causing the thing to sound super muddy (it's supposed to sound just as good with a properly recorded tape as it does with the radio). Honestly a pretty easy fix. It's well built. 300 is way too much though, there's equally cool radios out there for 1/3rd of the price.
You could switch half your channel's content to neat stuff you buy from Japan and I would enjoy it a great deal. There's lots of channels that provide old video game stuff there aren't a lot of channels that provide old and pretty unique Japanese stuff. Add to that the quality of your presentation and your knowledge of the products and this is in my opinion the best content you make
You reminded me why after my ZX 48k, I went Atari->Amiga then to 386SX + Cirrus Logic and continued to upgrade that 386SX to what I have now. The PC I am using was once a white box 386SX. I have never ever owned a console and never will.
Japan ruled audio hardware imo from 70s until late 90s. But 70s and ,80s is their beautiful peak between design quality sound and price. Their stuff look so amazing my dad hordes panasonic technics stuff feom those times
We had a rom of denki blocks on our computer when I was a kid and I randomly picked it one day to try out. Man my older brother and I loved that game. And when I first learned Ken’s channel was named Denki that was the first thing that came to mind. Nice to see it finally come full circle
That GBA was treated fine in my opinion. I'm not going to buy a console to just sit it on a shelf and gamble on it going up or down in value, if I enjoy that console, and it is portable, I am going to take that thing EVERYWHERE with me. The scratches and scrapes actually add value for me in a weird way, because I know that the last person loved it so much they played it constantly. Besides, nothing a careful coat of paint and some finish can't fix. You can match it with the old stuff, you just need to know what you're doing and not rush it. I've done this with varying degrees of success myself. ;)
On the Game Gear Micro. not a terrible deal honestly, withing range of what you get it for off ebay. but also depending on the color you buy you get different games. I know this because I've wanted one for a while as a massive game gear fan (got a game gear in my closet! wooooooo) but I can never justify pulling the trigger on one.
Rare Candy card app is currently iOS only. You can use the web version in the browser though, it's still in it infancy. Collectr has far more cards and is way better to use to search without scanning. Maybe the Rare Candy app will get to that point eventually but out of my 250+ Pikachu cards Rare Candy has 190ish and Collectr has around 220.
Hey, mock those old long loading times all you want, they did come in handy when you needed to use the bathroom, or a friend needed a smoke break, or get a snack, or take a phone call.
I wonder if Austin has had a Neo Geo Pocket Color? Same clicky stick love as the pads here. I have a couple of them tucked away. Blue Camo and carbon fibre effect.
I used to be a game boy affectionado, but Nintendo's recent antics with copyright strikes on other channels have convinced me that I am never giving them another penny. And being a UA-camr yourself, I'm surprised that you are having anything to do with them.
I actually had an original Game Gear and had to hunt for years to get one in good condition and to find a low sold game which my uncle was a game dev on unfortunately it died
Love the video but I have to say Neo Geo was not deemed popular at the time. At least with the average household. Its price point was too high (around 600 USD) while other systems by Nintendo and Sega were a lot cheaper than that. You can compare it more to someone who looks at luxury cars but could never afford one.
Your CRT needs to be degaused. I bought a degauser off of ebay in the mid 2000's to get rid of the purple and pink off colors on my screen as it got older.
Play store will work, you have to update it. You also have to factory reset it because that error means someone else's account is on it
Don't expect Austin to actually put time or effort into the individual products lol

18:03 not Ken sounding sus “it is such in pristine condition” 😂
that boom box looks like the radio we had in the kitchen when i was a kid in the 80s but bigger and with a cassette player.
Gameboy Advance "it has not been treated kindly" you're right Austin, it was loved.
All the stickers, heavy use and screen burn in prove it. :)
Seeing a Boombox from 1980's is life changing!
The NEO-GEO CD had a 1x speed disc drive. The Sega Saturn is now seeing a number of homebrew games being made now.
Would’ve been cool if Austin looked at the as of rn Japan exclusive Hori steam pad
I was expecting that boom box radio to be $2000. Cause it's from the 1980's.

A modern shield is much needed. Retroid flip comes close but man do iwant something in that shape but modern soc and better screen
I think that adapter is an rf adapter because that was the first line of hook ups for tvs back in the day
the playstore is working. The error is about an account. Try to remove google account from settings and add another one. That should fix it

Oh I still have my shield. It works but the thing is so slow now and the battery is pretty much dead lol. Also no more updates for it.
I hear it can emulate up to Playstation 1. Maybe that would be a revitalized use for you if you enjoy those kinds of games.
