      I was looking through the yahoo auction pages to see what the sell and found these.

      That portable device would be great for a portable Pi Zero project. And why the hell would someone own 200! Snes controllers?!

          @FlyingTomahawk you can buy lots of controllers from retrogamesjapan.com, so it's definitely a thing.

            For what would someone need 100+ controllers?
            Wall decoration?

                @FlyingTomahawk probably to resell. Those Sharp SF1 controllers are something you don't see every day.

                  @FlyingTomahawk that famicom looks great to me. How much is that sharp famicom?

                    You mean that twim famicom? The junk one is 5400 yen a working one would probably be around 15000 yen?

                    I should get another famicom in 1-2 days. Also declared as junk. I'll take pics of it and then we could start to talk about your controllers and console shipping and payment. Is that cool?

                      @FlyingTomahawk $130 for a Twin Famicom does not seem bad.

                        @FlyingTomahawk junk prices seem pretty good. The junk controllers sold by some huge japanese ebay resellers are really high.

                          True, but shipping is gonna be a killer for that huge, heavy thing.

                              Ouch, prices really went up. I bought my sfc with 2 controllers for around $32us from a japanese ebay seller around 2yrs ago. Too bad I can't find a cheap pal snes, or just the front label. I really love that logo.

                                Those are store prices. I am sure you can still find good deals on ebay or auctions here in Japan.

                                  and then I see stuff like a gray Gameboy Pocket with a case that isn't beat to hell and it's $60.

                                  They don't reproduce the gray Gameboy Pocket shells or the Arctic (white) Gameboy Advance shells. When I realized I was going to try to graft in an ABXY into my Advance project I gave up on trying to find a white Gameboy Advance for cheap, and I'm going to try to painting my project when I get that far.

                                  The Famicom Pocket that was made by Kei Studio has me thinking I'll be able to do something with the texture to match it. The site is all in Japanese, but click through the build. It's inspiring.

                                      @FlyingTomahawk You can find the white GBAs over here, but the gray Gameboy Pocket (original DMG colors) were a Japan exclusive thing. I'm not even sure what I'd do with one if I got it (keep it stock, backlight it, Pi it) but I've kept my eyes out on eBay for them and the only ones I see are either beat to heck or more than I want to spend, especially if I'm going to potentially mess with it. I really am more interested in a good case then working guts.

                                      I'm trolling eBay looking for more game stuff. You're a bad influence.

                                          I haven't bought anything yet, but I'm certainly thinking about things to acquire.

                                            @FlyingTomahawk if you stumble across a super gameboy controller for a super famicom i am interested in that. The cable condition does not matter as i will modify it for my pi setup. I think those and the famicom controllers are the only controllers i am missing except for maybe the different sg-1000 / sega mark controllers
