Looks minty

Do you know if using the HDMI pound cable to connect the n64 to the tv, will give the same result?

My Dreamcast just died when I half way in the game. The game was frozen. When I rebooted, the Gd rom did not spin at all

Plus factor in that ur collection if u were to try re buy it will be way more expensive than what you sell it for now, years from now or even next year physical game prices are expensive for old games

If you sell ur childhood collection, you’ll regret it later and miss the games you once had , and in the future who knows ur kids could experience them instead of being of them being just a memory you tell the kids about

the time factor when your in your 30's is legitimate... but the age thing???? I'm 51 and getting back into gaming again after a little break so the age factor is horseshit :)

My friend I am also in this same position. I turned 38 this September. I have a wife and 3 children. And I just don’t have the time as I once did. Owning multiple console and 300 games. Gaming became more overwhelming than enjoyable. So I’ve been downsizing from 300 to 6 games that I know I’ll play with friends and family. It is a hobby for me, and the nostalgia will never leave. This gen is probably my last, and if I happen to buy back into gaming. It’s going be 9th gen and under. I miss playing the older consoles.

Keep the ones that are actually important to you, because someday, you may want to go back and play through them, even if it's for 10 minutes. It could become a fond experience that connects you to your childhood. Go through each and every game and seriously determine how much it resonates with you, if you think 5-10 years from now you'd want to replay it, look up information/videos on each game you haven't played to see if you can really picture yourself going through the game, etc. There's some games I never intend to replay after 100%% them, but keep them because I appreciate seeing them physically as it's a window into the experience I had with them. But there's also some that I think would be far more appreciated in the hands of someone else despite still appreciating them. A game like this for me is Persona 5, great game, but I never intend to go back to it as the replay value isn't really there (for me). I hope you're satisfied with whatever you choose to do

I think it might be worth considering downsizing your collection, going through it game by game and only keeping those that mean something to you, games you really enjoyed and have personal/emotional meaning to you, whether it's games you really enjoyed as a kid and would like to revisit or games that you would like to play/replay soon. In my opinion it's better to have a small, curated library of games you actually care and feel excited about so that even if for a period of your life you don't play them you won't feel guilty about keeping them since you don't own that many and maybe in the future, if you don't care about the one you kept and don't play those either, you might consider selling them all. I'm giving this advice from personal experience since I've been downsizing my videogame library since march/april, I used to have about 600 physical games throughout different platforms and 80% of them were just sitting on a shelf, most of them I didn't care about at all, I just bought them because they were cheap or because people said they were hidden gems, definitely not worth it. Since then I sold and am still trying to sell hundreds of them and with that money I'm buying games that I am actually excited about. It's really hard to make up your mind about what needs to go but remember that videogames are meant to be played, if you don't there will definitely be someone else happy to buy it from you and enjoy it!

Knew I came across your video for some reason :) borderlands is absolutely timeless but I think you should continue with your collection, mine is actually around the same size & I completed understand what you mean by not having the time anymore but one day if you sell, trust me. You’ll want it again :)

your never too old for video games.

I’ve sold my collection a few times, sometimes it’s necessary to have a little reset and realize what you miss. With such a huge backlog it makes it impossible to ever catch up, and gaming can feel like a chore. Starting fresh makes you be a bit more selective with your purchases- I now have a Switch, a PS5 and a New 3DS console and that’s plenty of devices for me. Keep it light and have fun. The test for me was Covid- I had all that time off work and didn’t play them. If not then, then when? That was a catalyst to sell.

Yes, sell it all and sell it cheap.

just do whatever makes you happy man:)

No!!! Don’t sell your stuff. There will be a time in life you might like to revisit those memories. Just taking a break is fine. I can’t tell you how much stuff I’ve let go that I wish I could get back. Maybe you should go take some classes in school for something you’re interested in. And keep making you tube videos, I look forward to them.

Yes. Sell it to me 😅

never sell your collection

Maybe slow down picking up new games and Sell the games you don't care about

Keep your them they have memory

Do you stop playing games when you get older, or do you get older when you stop playing games.

GREAT VIDEO BRETT!

I would never sell my youth. Too many memories!

I would say unless you can make real good money when you sell them no, don't sell them. its probably an unpopular opinion but I've gone through phases like this over the years and what I do is pack them all up real nice and put them away, then in a year or maybe five years when the you get the itch you can pull the box out and its like Christmas pulling them out again. prices are going up and buying them in a few years will be more of a headache. just my two cents.

So, it works only on XP?

Thank you! I’ve had this for years and just now figured out how to use all the extra functions.

For a long while I've gotten the Hyperkin Xbox HDMI because I was doing a personal playthrough of Red Dead Revolver. Except the audio would only come out of one side and had to jiggle it around until I get it to work in stereo

Started using minidisc as well only this year. In these tunes of streaming services and algorithms, what a great way of compiling your own mixed tapes on digital physical mediums. Thought not in production anymore, minidiscs lives! Thx for the review!

looks very nice like the look of the car

omg

My grandma probably has one of those.

hello brett why mini disc didn't take off mate please let me know kind regards William c adlam cheers I'm looking forward to your reply kind regards please let me know kind regards?

Spectacular

Great trucks. My dad had one for 10 years and we never had sny problems out of it, other than some brake trouble. Those 5.0 Modular motors are solid.

You won't have it very long . 😅

Ok, just got one of these delivered today and it's trash IMO. The CD player won't even read CDs, it just has two blinking dashes for around a minute and then says "err". The tape player doesnt sound great and neither do the cheap speakers. If you dont need a CD player and just want cassettes and BT, the QFX J-220BT boombox off Amazon is a MUCH better deal for $44. It's an actual boombox. Tapes sound a ton better, speakers are way better, you get a 3 band EQ and it has a built in rechargeable battery, so it's much more portable if you dont want to buy batteries. Thanks

That’s a good looking truck, way nicer than your white one. Congrats

I love MD, I am using them for the last 25 years. I used the Minidisc at the beginning for recording my vynils records and CD’s, also for doing multi disc recopilaciones due LP2 and LP4. And of course for listening of them. Nowadays I never use LP4 because the quality is poor, but I like LP2 Additionally to listen to my MD’s collection, nowadays I also use MD to record from streaming services, both individual discs or playlists (LP2is the key here) I have around 10 portable MD walkman and recently I bought just the same MD desk as you (Tascam MD350), it works great. Some of my MD Walkman have also a REC IN, and I have a stereo microphone and you can do marvelous recordings. Another really interesting feature is the models with NetMD, a systems than allows you to connect the MD to a PC and due a software, transfer music from the PC to the MD (only this way). Nowadays there are a Webservice that do just the same. Enjoy your MD Deck ;-) If you want complete your physical media collection, you could try to get a DAT, that is also a digital cassette media (very small) that has the peculiarity that, unlike MD and DCC, DAT is lossless recording system.

Apparently letterboxd Laserdiscs don't have as many lines of resolution as the fullscreen/P&S discs. The square image will be sharper.

Mine has different instructions

you should compare the hashes of the two files for us to know if it did corrupt it or not

So, this is a 10 min video of speculation on, well, everything. That is, no way to test whether the heads were magnetized to begin with nor whether this cheap solution would work if the heads were nor even if the cleaning part worked properly. lol.

Window DID NOT always have software. I think windows XP was the first version to support CD burning out of the box (I thought it was ME but google says XP). the NTI software you're using mentions supporting windows 95. Though it is still a little odd when you consider the drives themselves pretty much always came with software before windows supported burning natively. When you use the drive as a floppy with one of these types of setups the data is written somewhat randomly. Optical drives don't really handle random reads that well. I do wonder if your data actually copied ok and it'd play ok if you copied the files off the drive first. But there were compatibility issues with these mega floppy disks. That's why any time I'd want to do something like this I'd rather just write the disk as multi session, and just destroy the disk if it was CD-R or erase it once it was full if it was RW. Finalizing the disk always took forever. Even on a dvd. You burn the disk at 16X it takes like 8 minutes. Then you wait 2 minutes for it to finalize. (That whole "it says it's 100% but apparently it still isn't done" part of formatting/burning), and then you probably wouldn't even do 16X since you didn't want an under run. I don't feel like I burned very many disks in less then 10 minutes. Most of them were around the 15 minute mark if you count initializing and finalizing. (the "formatting" process is essentially just filling the whole disk). Even with burnproof it was better not to have to rely on it. I think the first thumb drive I bought with 16MB of space was $10 vs disks at the time being < $1 ($0.20?). So yes, flash is so much better, but disks were disposable, where flash was not.

Was there never a norton commander like filemanager for old macintosh in any of these cd-rw or zip disk applications?

El sonido del laserdisc es muy especia ,es menos duro ,menos digital no cansa escucharles durante muchas horas , yo uso un Enlightened Audio Designs T7000 Universal Transport usando la salida coaxial hacia un DAC Topping D90 conectado a un previo BAT y a un krell KSA 250 con altavoces Wilson Audio y ahora he pedido un conversor S-video a HDMI marca Tendak que pasará y escalará la señal de video a traves de mi Denon avc-x4800h ,yo he tenido muchos reproductores laserdisc que he ido mejorando u otras veces han muerto pero como todo mientras mejor calidad de construcción mejor es la espectativa de vida de cualquier electrodomestico ...saludos desde suecia

It’s a great table but is your too wobbly if you don’t close it evenly?

Hi Brett, I just found your site and love your videos. I was an avid laserdisc fanatic back in the mid 80s and 90s. I at one time had over 1100 discs and most of them were priced from between $39.00 on sale to $99 just out. In San Antonio there was only one store which was a very high end audio retailer that sold laserdiscs. I also bought a Pioneer model which played both sides for $750. I was able to buy my last player from Japan brand new in 2009 when they officially announced they were stopping production. By the time I added shipping it cost me over $1300. I still have my players but only have about 400 lasers left. I am starting to add to them and will never part with any again. Hope you enjoy your venture into lasers. Thanks for your videos.

Back when xbox was unique and a true competitor to playstation at the time. Back when they had cool ui/x for the main menu too. The one we have today is just and ad.

Oh, now it makes sense why I can't get a picture out of my component cables lol. I'm not sure I can be bothered doing the mod so I just settled for S Video cables.

If you don’t pet that crunchling immediately i swear to God!!! He’s sad!

This video has convinced me to go to Team red
