Game/console collectors thread

Got myself an Anbernic RG40XXV and loving it so far. It can do emulation up to PS1 flawlessly, but can also do a bit of Dreamcast, NDS, and PSP.

It has TV OUT via Mini HDMI and bluetooth, so obviously hooked it up to the big TV and dusted off the Switch Pro controller. Something magical about replaying games you played 30+ years ago. This thing also does the ancient consoles so I want to give some of those games a spin, like Atari 2600.

well thats pretty cool! wonder how the old Final Fantasy games would be
 
Bad month for collecting.
8 days before I can buy a crucial piece of equipment :)
I'm watching you guys, don't buy it...the unnamed piece of something I require.

Also how can a gaming collection be complete without the gaming peripherals?

Finally I can see the games in the dark.

Thank you.

Been playing LEGO Dimensions a bit. Not a bad game.

Think you guys will get my frustrating issue.
As soon as I get in to a fight and the controller vibrates, the game changes my character.

I know about Tokyo stick drift, but I have never seen this happen before on a PS3.
Official PS3 controller, but intermediate wrong button presses... never heard of this before.

I know it happens to my mom's HiFi, you press Function but the HiFi registers it to change from Deck A to Deck B.

I swapped to PS5 controller on PS3 as my battery life on og was getting really bad, no stick drift.
Can turn on the console and all but PS button does not work in-game but I have a media remote for that.

Ironically I use Nacon on PS5 to prevent Stick drift on 30th anniversary controller.

You sure it's not just that stupid ribbon connector on the PS3 controller not making contact properly any longer because the foam beneath it has worn out?

I have that problem on my PS3 controller. I had incorrect or random button inputs happening, especially when it did the vibration thing. I opened it up and added some tape beneath the foam to beef it up. Fixed my issue. The ribbon is held on by pressure alone.

Will have a look for this. Thank you.

Have not opened it yet. Just a few smacks when playing a game to try and mitigate the problem.

Controller is OEM, so if it gets bad enough, will I open it.

I might need to change to a PS5 controller for the PS3 too.

Kinda expensive if you have to go buy one, just used it as I had one spare.

If you need to buy, I am sure there are cheaper options like maybe 2.4 8bitdo with USB dongle. I know if you wanna use Bluetooth it needs a Mac mode on the controller instead of X-Input/Switch.

If you get frustrated enough to open it, there are plenty of Youtube videos on this issue. It's a known problem. Here's an example:

Ha, known issue.

I guess even trying to preserve my equipment, they will all fail eventually.

But thanks for letting me know. Glad to know not just me.
