A common problem with n64s is the power supply/cord. If it has the original one the PCB is probably broken at a common spot and they reset randomly, i think as they heat up the board expamds and breaks the connection at the break. Its very annoying. Getting a new cord fixes it.
Actually it could also be failing capacitors. My N64 reboots like this too (though a bit most times not as soon/often as in this video). I confirmed not a cord problem. I measured voltages and the 12v line was around 7v or so....mine definitely needs a recap. His likely does too.
There are two problems with using the Sega 3D Glasses on a flatscreen. One is that there's too much delay, so the "shutters" on the glasses won't be timed right. The other problem is that your TV is trying to deinterlace a 240p signal, so you're not seeing one frame at a time, you're seeing a mishmash of the last two frames, which completely ruins it. A properly made scaler solves the latter problem and if you can tune some extra delay in so that it re-aligns you could solve the former problem.
We have lots of Goodwill around us, most good stuff they place on their website and auction. My only gripe is the CEO's get about 90% of all profits which leaves around10% going to actual charity, and the stuff is donated.
I just want to know if you booted up the Master System without a game card or cartridge in it and press up and the 1 & 2 buttons at the same time to see what built-in games it has on it.
"Crush me big monkey crush me!!!" Jesus Christ, Sherlock Holmes was right there really is nothing new under the sun. That sounds like something somebody would say in relation to Donkey Kong today.
sega mastersystem "evolution" (i believe is a fourth interation) is still oficially sold here in Brasil through a company called Tec Toy, it's market value is R$312,55 about US$63,24
Im pretty sure I was bidding on that Odyssey 300 and you guys bid much higher than what it's worth. Hopefully you guys sell this stuff to people who actually want to play it and enjoy it.
Missile Defense 3D with the shutter glasses and the lightgun was my absolute favorite game on the Master System. It was mind blowing at the time, no one had anything similar and I chose the Master System after playing it side by side with an NES at the store daily for two weeks. I found the Sega games appealed to me much more than the NES games. I was 26 when this came out and it was the first console I owned. I played the Intellivision and the Pong clones, along with the Atari, but they were nowhere close to actual arcade games. The Sega came closer than anything before it.
My gma donated my NES system with about 40+ games and my orignal ps1 with damn near 100 games for free to goodwill.... she thought no one would want old systems... this was in 2006 wen i was away playin Junior Hockey up north.. im still at a loss for words. She really testing my love for her😅
This video was amazing! I loved seeing all the cool retro tech that you found at Goodwill. The N64 stuff was especially awesome, and I'm so jealous that you got the Hot News 64 VHS tape. That's such a rare find!
So fun fact about the Gamebot OG battery pack - you could also use it with Sony Walkman/Discman portable audio players. Likewise, if you find a Discman with the car power adapter, you can use that adapter with the Gameboy.
I been doing Goodwill hunts for 1 year now, filmed them, and always edited them to be uploaded to youtube, but never did. Now if I try, I'll get 0 views and be called some stupid copy. Just goes to show I'm an idiot.
In that short of increments though? You wouldn’t even get a chance to really play. Additionally out of all the McDonald’s I’ve been too I’ve never once seen their system automatically reset.
About 12 years ago, I bought a complete Master System that's with every known game and almost all the assesories that come with it for 50$ at Goodwill. Sadly, I lost it and all of my old game collection in a house fire.
If you're attempting to send the video from the Odyssey through coax to a TV that uses an ATSC tuner, it's unlikely to work. (There are some older bridge TVs that had both but they were rare and expensive.) Try feeding the signal through your VCR/DVD combo unit and using the composite output to your TV. If that doesn't work, then perhaps a collab with Adrian's Digital Basement is in order?
The N64 was a DEMO console. I used to work at a Walmart when we used to have them so kids could play Pokémon Stadium. They’re programmed to reset cause they would be on for hrs
I loved to see the 3D glasses for the Mastersystem. It's the exact same tech i had for my 3DFX Voodoo2 GPU in the 90s, i got a bundle which contained the card + the glasses, which had a special port for them.. the Stereoscopic 3D was really dope in Quake and some select other games!
12:50 Monopoly on the Switch is *rough* 😅 I play Monopoly Plus on my Xbox One instead and my whole family loves it! The best Monopoly video game ever though was definitely “Monopoly Streets” which came out on PS3, 360, and Wii.
One of those chromebooks is a Lenovo 100e, which had a WINDOWS 10 PRO sister model that actually is windows 11 compatible due to it having a TPM 2.0 chip. I owned the 128GB nvme SSD version for about a year, and SUFFERED the entire time I had it. Now the happy owner of a ThinkPad T580.
Chromebooks, by definition, should be able to be updated for as long as the device works. There are thousands of those in sites like goodwill that never get bought because they are beyond the support date
The Odyssey is probably outputting some kind of video that would show on an old analog CRT TV. I remember having an old 'pong' that needed the horizonal hold played with every time. The modern flat screen TV logic is likely not recognizing a valid video signal.
That chromebook that updated to 119 is one we use at school. All my friends have them and I used one for a little while before I got my own laptop. They're not the greatest for anything but youtube videos.
my school used to have the second chromebook you showed... apparently one caught on fire because someone kept turning the camera and it melted it so my school donated them to the tech department (not the melted one) so we could learn whats inside them and take them apart and put them back together, so that was fun. also the video footage from the mavika reminds me of the true crime videos that use videos from the 90s (i love it)
Omg, those Lenovo Chromebooks, specifically the N23 was one of the three different models that my high school went through, first the N22, then the N23, then the 100e
Nice consoles, Austin :) You can use a rubber band to wear the 3D stuff to your regular glasses. I would like to have a Magnavox system though :) in my collection
Or that the odyssey just needed a CRT TV to hook into. Kinda makes u wonder what kinda "tech" guys they really are and whether all the cool free stuff they get would prob be better used in someone else's hands
So many great memories with the SEGA Master System. My cousins had it, and I played the 3d missile command game every time I visited. My grandma even got mad at me for holding the light gun - "But I'm shooting down missiles! It's not a violent game!"
I am now a freshman in high school, but I remember using the Chromebooks with the handle back when I was in first grade my guy. So IDK what you mean by a "more modern system" when those are now like 8-10 years old.
My 10 year old Chromebook doesn't even properly load my bank's website anymore, I love that little sturdy thing, outlasted much more expensive laptops, it's now relegated to the computer distraction when my nephew wants to watch TH-cam.
That Chromebook N23 or whatever, is the Chromebook I used in school for many years and got as a graduation "gift". It was very slow and almost useless for anything other than super basic documents but kinda my first "decent" laptop.
The N64 might be resetting because it could be dirty. TronicsFix had gotten a N64 that wasn't working and a hair under one of the chips kept the N64 from working. So that could be your problem with the N64 resetting.
My best goodwill find was a perfectly working Xbox 360 for $35. I sold it for $100 2 years later because Xbox barely has any games that I like (except bayonetta 1 and sonic unleashed) and just use it for TH-cam and DVD player. I'm more of a Playstation and Nintendo person, it was a dark time back then.
Dude I had one of those 1991 Gameboy carry cases. That thing is long lost by now but I do remember carrying extra batteries, my gameboy and several games in that thing.
YEAH BOY! I STILL HAVE THAT GAME BOY CASE! That case is durable! But had to remove the Gameboy game holder, to hold more games.. since I think it only holds.. 10?
A common problem with n64s is the power supply/cord. If it has the original one the PCB is probably broken at a common spot and they reset randomly, i think as they heat up the board expamds and breaks the connection at the break. Its very annoying. Getting a new cord fixes it.
your name with the fact you know that 28 years after is funny

That gameboy bundle for $111 is an AMAZING deal
Especially cause gameboy stuff usually goes for bonker prices on goodwill finds
The N64 constantly resetting is very common if the power supply has gone bad. Try a different power supply.
There's also a more rare case of dust inside/under the reset button, triggering this effect.
We have lots of Goodwill around us, most good stuff they place on their website and auction. My only gripe is the CEO's get about 90% of all profits which leaves around10% going to actual charity, and the stuff is donated.

The Monopoly music is literally what all the ice cream trucks used to play when I was a kid.

Does Brazil use PAL or NTSC? If it's NTSC I might have to pick one up, I haven't played a master system since I was 6.
@@Wearywastrel Brazil sadly, is PAL-M
@@Wearywastrel NTSC

My N64 had the same reset issue. Don't forget to clean the contacts in the console itself as well as the cartridges. Doing this solved the problem.
Don't clean the contacts too hard or you can rub off the traces on the board. Light pressure and a little bit of alcohol is your friend.
@@Thatonefuckinguy And then if you do end up rubbing the traces off a lot of alcohol quickly becomes your friend 🤣

Ouch come on grandma
My mom gave my original PS1 to Goodwill when I was a kid, it’s the only console that I haven’t kept my whole life
@KeiFresh same. Someone stole my GameCube but other than that I've been lucky!
Love that Austin is building an electronics museum, also love the white tee he added to the rotation
This video was amazing! I loved seeing all the cool retro tech that you found at Goodwill. The N64 stuff was especially awesome, and I'm so jealous that you got the Hot News 64 VHS tape. That's such a rare find!
I really hope that they digitize that tape and put it online for the world to see. Stuff like that needs to be preserved for the ages :)
If you are a 6yo yes. Constant screaming and overacting to everything made it impossible to watch for me.
thats the most pathetic goatee ive seen in my life@@MladenMijatov

The N64 might have been from a McDonald's. They were programmed to reset themselves every so often so another kid could play.
😅
In that short of increments though? You wouldn’t even get a chance to really play. Additionally out of all the McDonald’s I’ve been too I’ve never once seen their system automatically reset.
yeah i'm not sure if this is a thing...plus that couldn't be good for the machine could it?
I think your McDonald's had a busted reset button or dirty memory jumper
McDonald’s dgaf lol

Austin got those stolen and refurbished school chromebooks
You gotta blow on the inside bottom of the cartridge to get it to work, everyone who grew up in the 80s and 90s knows that lol
The N64 was a DEMO console. I used to work at a Walmart when we used to have them so kids could play Pokémon Stadium. They’re programmed to reset cause they would be on for hrs
Petition to stop the online shopping and start actually going to thrift stores and see what you can find.
Swing and a miss
I had someone give me a full master system as a kid, but it was missing parts, so I sadly never got it running. Fun to see it playing here!
the N46 might be a store unit they will reset but it normally will have a custom cart with demos of several games on it
I loved to see the 3D glasses for the Mastersystem. It's the exact same tech i had for my 3DFX Voodoo2 GPU in the 90s, i got a bundle which contained the card + the glasses, which had a special port for them.. the Stereoscopic 3D was really dope in Quake and some select other games!
Please put that tape up on Archive omg that’s such a blast from the past 😂❤
Google recently announced Chromebook will receive updates for products made 2021, and after. They should get 10 years of support.
Those chromebooks were the free chromebooks you would get during Covid for online school
12:50 Monopoly on the Switch is *rough* 😅 I play Monopoly Plus on my Xbox One instead and my whole family loves it! The best Monopoly video game ever though was definitely “Monopoly Streets” which came out on PS3, 360, and Wii.
What other store can you sell stuff, they know doesn't work and not let you test it first or return it. I hate that store.
Im the one that carried that grey Gameboy case around 😅
Funny he mentions the CR48. I got one from goodwill a few years ago. Seemed to be a dev model though as it had debugging hardware apps on it
so austin is becoming a casual retro game collector i like it
That Odyessey looks like a Job for TronicsFix!!! I smell a collab!
One of those chromebooks is a Lenovo 100e, which had a WINDOWS 10 PRO sister model that actually is windows 11 compatible due to it having a TPM 2.0 chip. I owned the 128GB nvme SSD version for about a year, and SUFFERED the entire time I had it. Now the happy owner of a ThinkPad T580.
My N64 used to reset by itself, it was the PSU (Power Adapter), changed for a new one at it works like a charm since then.
Chromebooks, by definition, should be able to be updated for as long as the device works. There are thousands of those in sites like goodwill that never get bought because they are beyond the support date
Hearing Austin say skippity boppity boop makes it all worth it
The Odyssey is probably outputting some kind of video that would show on an old analog CRT TV. I remember having an old 'pong' that needed the horizonal hold played with every time. The modern flat screen TV logic is likely not recognizing a valid video signal.
Master System is my personal GOAT for classic console

that sony mavica recording might not be great from a technical standpoint, but damn it has such a strong vibe :)

$111 is a sweet deal for that Game Boy. Here a complete Game Boy (just the console and Tetris) in box is $90 or more already.
Nice consoles, Austin :)
You can use a rubber band to wear the 3D stuff to your regular glasses. I would like to have a Magnavox system though :) in my collection
9:14 when bro whips it out
I have a few of those Nintendo VHS tapes too, they truly are amazing to watch now.
Austin not realizing that the host of the N64 VHS was former Nintendo COO Reggie Fils-Aimé.
Or that the odyssey just needed a CRT TV to hook into. Kinda makes u wonder what kinda "tech" guys they really are and whether all the cool free stuff they get would prob be better used in someone else's hands
Look up any image of reggie before the 2000s, that's not him.

I love the new transition Austin did at the start ❤
17:01 The plus sign makes it look like a First Aid kit 😂
Legends say Ken is still walking with the Mavica dialoging
So we had vr gaming already in the 1970 we stuck in time
The 3D for the Sega works amazing on a CRT.
So many great memories with the SEGA Master System. My cousins had it, and I played the 3d missile command game every time I visited. My grandma even got mad at me for holding the light gun - "But I'm shooting down missiles! It's not a violent game!"
That gameboy set was a steal
Honestly the gameboy case is worth it just as a decoration for the background!
That odyssey you need to get a coax adapter. Just a little piece that plugs on the end of that.
I am now a freshman in high school, but I remember using the Chromebooks with the handle back when I was in first grade my guy. So IDK what you mean by a "more modern system" when those are now like 8-10 years old.
RIP Dale :(
Brutal day for those of us that saw our hero die live on the freakin TV man.
Those chrome books are the exact ones that my school uses

It seems like you have some bad capacitor in the N64, which is a common issue for old tech.
The N64 might be resetting because it could be dirty. TronicsFix had gotten a N64 that wasn't working and a hair under one of the chips kept the N64 from working. So that could be your problem with the N64 resetting.
You can put chromeOS flex on the chromebooks to bring them up-to-date.
Austin's take on monopoly is fucking wild! 🤣 You funny bro....
Had that same issue with my N64, getting a new power supply fixed it.
First time seeing your channel. I'm reminded very much of the old show The Screen Savers on Tech TV.
The first Chromebook is the same ones they gave us in high school can’t do much on them but they run really well for what it can do
That is common with the N64. Just open it up and fix the reset button. Over time the reset button does get stuck.
Ahh yes, the Lenovo Chromeyikes, I remember it well
My N64 is doing this actually. It always resets itself after a little bit of time.
Send that odyssey into ODD TINKERING. If anyone can get that thing working it's him.
These items belong to a museum
My best goodwill find was a perfectly working Xbox 360 for $35.

That Gameboy case would make for an awesome mini pc case.
Funny thing is that the train station in the clip shot on the Mavica looks like it could have been 20 years ago...
Dude I had one of those 1991 Gameboy carry cases. That thing is long lost by now but I do remember carrying extra batteries, my gameboy and several games in that thing.
Matt looked pretty unimpressed when you dropped the Chromebook Austin 😅 😂
YEAH BOY! I STILL HAVE THAT GAME BOY CASE! That case is durable! But had to remove the Gameboy game holder, to hold more games.. since I think it only holds.. 10?
I got a SEGA Master System as a present for my Bar Mitzvah back in 1989.
Wheew boy that took me back hearing someone exclaim: "It IS on Channel 3!" once again lol
That mavica video recording reminds me of those quality videos in nico nico douga lmost 20 years ago lmo
my odyssey 400 had the same problem. but i then tried passing the signal through an old VHS player to my 4k TV and it worked.
You should learn to do retro-brite. Restores the old cases to the game consoles very well and not expensive or very hard to do.
That happy dance was so cringe, yet it made me smile 😂
Goodwill is a hit or miss, i like going the electronic store ones
I had that Nuby Game Boy light... scratched the heck out of my screen sliding it on and off!! 😄😄
Those Gameboy cartridges are hella clean man, lucky
The way the 3d glasses of the master system worked you could say it is the grandpa of the PlayStation 3d tv.
Goodwill finds is not the full online goodwill site.
I’m pretty sure when they say it’s untested it’s because they did test and saw the malfunction. But people will still buy.
The master system 2 was elite with the built in free game
You can manually update most chromebooks that are out of auto update. I do that with my i5 acer from way back when.
