If ems cart is still available on monday i will make an offer.

I am not big on trackers, but I am still interested in all of this.

Also, i love synthcart.

they were never advertised, leading to low demand, so fewer were sold?  if so, them being uncommon could lead to the old supply/demand thing.

it could also be the same thing (which i don't understand) that causes prices of extremely popular games to sell for high prices.  Look at pokemon or zelda carts, for example.  These were really popular and sold well, and they are very easy to find now.  For some reason they regularly sell for higher prices than less common games, even though they are plentiful.  I suspect this was caused by some people who were willing to pay more for their favorite games, then people saw the price paid and asked for or paid more thinking it was what they were worth, and now those higher prices are what they are worth because of some weird marketplace feedback loop.  If anyone has a real explanation for this phenomenon please share it, as i find it very interesting (and annoying, as a buyer).

Hey, at least you are doing more than just looking at the boxes they are still sealed up in (which is also fine).  It bugs me sometimes that I have so many DMGs, when realistically all I need is a primary and backup or two. I love doing mods, but i always want to keep all the game boys i work on  I attempt to justify it by pretending that i need this one dedicated to nanoloop, and that one for lsdj, and these over here are for games.  And that yellow one is for a little of everything...
there are others, and i have ideas for a themed one.

I know I will pick up at least one.    Do you think you can post a pic in the store of it on a OEM case, and maybe one of yours?

Really cool.  Wish you had done these years ago.  Do you think these will be available in PIL colors, or whatever new case colors you do?

Very true.  I kinda suspect a bit of trolling on the part of the OP.  Realistically though I have found that kitsch, Apeshit and
others frequently post new things they are working on here, and it provides a place where ideas can be shared that are useful for musicians, gamers and modders alike.

I do.  I bet a bunch of the people who buy them on ebay and such do.  Some modern flash carts have game genie functionality built in.

a) other people do
b) good, you have your reasons, just like retrogamers that use old hardware have theirs.

you don't need to see a point.  people will still do it because there is a valid functional use for it.  were there not they would never have started lighting the displays of handhelds.  Have I shared my mods?  either way, art in many forms is popular around the world, and I guess you are not familiar with many hardcore gamers.  Go check out some of the computers people build.  Also many mods can be useful to gamers, such as being able to change clock speed.  It allows you to move through a part of the game faster, or slow down whatever is killing you.   these were made for games and people will continue to use them for that.  People have always modded their gear for personal reasons, whether that be for doing something different with their music, making their experience playing games more enjoyable, for having things they like to look at, or have fun with, or for bringing back an iconic classic into their daily lives.  Classic cars are a good example.  there are newer cars that are more fuel efficient that have more bells and whistles, but people still love fixing up the old ones and adding purely cosmetic things to them, as well as improving things over how they were manufactured.  they enjoy doing it, others enjoy seeing it, and it all makes the money go 'round.

When all is said and done I am here because this is a place where discussions on two of my hobbies collide.  OP may not be here for the music, but get over the other shit people are into that you disagree with or dislike.  It isn't hurting you.
