Nice. I myself went to a small flea market Sunday afternoon but it was the last out of two days and it was closing in 3 hours, so most of the good stuff was most likely gone by then (I wasn't available on Saturday). I found Sacred 2 Fallen Angel for $5 (Xbox 360), though, which was probably the oldest console game available there (although they had plenty of common 90's computer games).

My uncle gave my family a Gamecube and Super Mario Sunshine for Christmas. Somehow, we lost it when we had our downstairs room (where the Gamecube was stored) remodeled.

It gives you full region free with auto frequency switch and you can also use unofficial carts.

Lucky, I went to the store and Super Mario SUnshine is like $45 now O.O

I also bought Evolution for the Dreamcast and Drakkhen for the SNES today, after a quick trip to a game store.

Oï. Nice thing. I honestly prefer having a second NES, unzoned than modding mine. I got it from my father in law with the box and and the protection in polystyrène

Just get a random used SNES on leboncoin. :P The problem with region bypassing is that pal snes's will run slower and apparently the audio is pitched lower. Also, this affects pal games too.

What? Bypassing the resion makes the pal games slower? Oo
I know that PLA games are already slower than NTSC (60->50Hz, and goddamn Sonic's OST in slow-mo is unacceptable) , but slowing them again... unless I misunderstood what you meant.

What I meant is that pal games run slower than the NTSC ones and unless you install a freq switch it will slow down NTSC ones if you just use an adapter.

Yeah it's because PAL games run at 50 Hz while NTSC games run at 60. This is why PAL versions had to be slowed down. When you try a PAL game in NTSC mode in an emulator, the sound is actually pitched up and the game is too fast.

However, even in normal mode, PAL games sometimes play differently than their NTSC counterpart due to not being ported properly. For example, SMB1 music is faster.
