    Did anyone else notice the SMB music was playing too fast? It's like he has ten seconds left in the level but he's right at the begining. That emulator is whack.

    Still, I'd want one.

    it also sports a feature where every couple times you start it up, it flashes blue and you have to blow into and smack it a few times to get it going

    @yungjerry703: If I say "NES", what's the first game you think of?

    For most people, it's Super Mario Bros.

    Holy overclocked processor/incorrect fps rate.

    Better too fast than too slow, though.

    Weird, tetris is normal speed. Perhaps he used wrong region ROM for SMB, maybe PAL instead of NTSC?

    @appletoad: It does say (E) next to the rom, so it seems to be PAL. Is that really the only issue?

    @Volvonaut: I think so. PAL/NTSC play at different speeds, and I think playing a euro cart on a US system/emu results in it being faster. But most emulators let you pick which region of the console to emulate.

    Ah, this has put me in the mood for some Kaizo Mario World.

    i hate case modes that don't use original controllers because i hate the feeling of anything but the real thing in my hand. If i'm playing nes, i want an nes controller, not some 3rd party thing or some homemade thing no matter how well its made.

    if you were to blind fold me, and give me an NES controller and the absolutly best knock off NES controller(or snes! for that matter)... i mean it could be within 1% exact of a real thing, and i could still tell which one is fake... i guess i spent that many hours with those two controllers in my hands... i kinda miss the feeling, i think i'm gonna go hold one for a few minutes.

    Its shocking to see someone play Super Mario Bros without holding down the run button. He kept backing up to get enough speed to jump over the holes or the pipes, its like he hasn't played the game much and doesn't even know you can run.

    Should have left the end of the cable intact, then modded a USB cable to have the receiving end on it.

    It is a good thing the shipping was free or I never would have put in my bid.

    Sorry, I don't care if it is one of a kind, paying 20K for a video game is ridiculous. Isn't it? Then again, maybe I just do not understand the point.

    Mr. Diaz - was this sold in the Seattle area? I was curious if this fell into a garage sale near the Nintendo USA headquarters or whether it traveled the world first.

    @Monty: This falls into the same category as people who will pay thousands of dollars for cookie jars, collectible toys, etc. I don't quite get it either, but to each their own I guess.

    I could only ever see paying that much for historical artifacts, but that's just my interest :)

    Where the fuck are these garage sales, and why the hell can't I find them?!

    I spend lots on game stuff in resale shops/garage sales and I get regular random crap. This is bullshit.

    @appletoad:
    Look for "estate sales", or garage sales from widows....they don't know what they are selling.

    I bought a $50 Big Trak once, and sold it on ebay for $150. Somethin at least.
