Do you mod your retro video game consoles?

No, I'm not a faggot.
Hunter Wood
I mod so that I can use savestates on the original hardware.
Ian Clark
Been wanting to mod my GBA to have a backlight. The SP is fine but the design of the original is so comfy that I feel like a backlight would make it the ultimate handheld.
Luke Sullivan
No.
>GameBoy case modded with a FMA flavor, a show that console never got games based on for obvious reasons
But if I did, I sure as hell wouldn't do something so retarded.
Easton Gonzalez
What are the reasons?
Andrew Morris
FMA doesn't even have a GB game what's the fucking point
Sebastian Hill
i dont mod anything ever
Grayson Kelly
Imagine being this ignorant.
Matthew Perry
user...
That's a GBA game, OP's picture is a mod for a Gameboy Pocket, so it can't play that game...
Jack White
the only mods I would do is adding backlit screens to older handhelds and maybe a game boy horror mod
Joshua Thompson
No. I don't see the point. There are better ways to play GB/C/A games with real hardware that isn't limited to playing on a frankly uncomfortable handheld.

Put a backlight IPS screen in my fat GBA with a glass lens. Made it 100x better, was super easy.
I do console mods that are really easy like ODEs so I can play full libraries on original hardware and so I don't have to pay for expensive retro games. People who pay a ton of old money for old games and just don't spend like 70 buck on an ODE or something like an everdrive are missing out. There are some pretty mandatory quality of life mods that are braindead easy like the already mentioned IPS display for GBA or rechargeable batteries.

fma is my favorite manga series of all time, I read a lot of books in general, and the story in it is just so well written.
Angel Russell
I agree, I agree.
FMA: Pokemon and Edward & Alphonse Superstar Saga when?
Robert Watson
Idk, but we need more FMA related games. My friend always recommends the PS2 games that I haven't played. I dig how much love was put into things surrounding them though. I own the complete art book and the art for the games is excellent too. I think the PSP had a Brotherhood/manga game in Japan only, but I'm not sure what it was like.

Name a better anime. I'll wait. FMA 2003 has a special place in my heart, but the second adaptation is perfect.

You mean this artbook?
I own that one too.

The first 12 episodes of Brotherhood were rushed and horrible. It got through the stuff 2003 covered as fast as possible. How can you ignore this? They completely skip over who Yoki even is because they expected you to just have watched 2003 already.
John Murphy
It is an issue. I always suggest people just watch the first episodes of original FMA instead. The problem is: The first 25 or 26 episode of the original move a little too slow sometimes, and have a good bit of filler.
Because of that, the original and Brotherhood both have pacing issues of their own (filler is the only 2003 issue). The original is better indisputably for that part of the show. But getting someone into a new show and telling them to watch pieces of one show, then jump to another is not a viable option whatsoever. It's easier to watch brotherhood even if it is rushed. I wouldn't call them horrible, I would call them paced poorly. They try to cram to much into one episode and any tension is removed. This would be much more excusable if Yoki's episode, and the train episode with Hughes were included in Brotherhood.
Elijah Powell
Sorry, user. I meant to reply to this post who called Brotherhood "perfect".
Jordan Baker
>this thread pops up just as I'm re-reading the manga
Neat.
FMA isn't my absolute favorite anime/manga but i think it's as close as you can get to a "flawless" series, it remains very consistent during its run and it's pretty well executed, on top of that.
Zachary Sanders
Cool.
Eli Murphy
only with stuff that gets me free games
Alexander Lewis
No yeah I assumed, that was me who wrote the original post. I still think brotherhood is great, maybe not perfect, probably the wrong word. But both series have their own faults in pacing.
In regards to the entire story and how it's paced in the manga, Brotherhood is a bit too fast, and 2003 is a bit too slow, as the filler in 2003 was added in attempt to keep up with the pace of the books so that they could keep the series following that plot. That obviously didn't work because by 25 they caught up and decided to go their own way. If brotherhood added a couple more important arcs and slowed down it would be prefect. I still would have to recommended suffering a bit early on with brotherhood over 2003 unless you know someone who has watched both and can literally pick out the episodes to watch and skip. Most people trying out a new show won't go to those lengths though, so brotherhood is the better option for them.
If we go by how Brotherhood paced it's later episodes to the manga which really is perfect, 2003 is a bit slow, what it offers is way way better however.
