Useful Nuggets Of Mario Wisdom To Consider
Someone on social said I shouldn’t ever buy a modded console because it’s so easy to just mod my own.
That’s true, it is easy to mod most older consoles. There are excellent guides and instructions, including our own here on mariogasm.com, that you can follow to mod many popular retro and vintage game consoles. Installing a boot loader and Homebrew is pretty straightforward.
Well Mario if that’s the case why should I buy anything from you?
Your only getting half the story from most advice on Social. Yes modding a console is easy. But you are modding the console to play game files and ROM’s right? What about all those games you modded it to play? Where are those at?
Yes you can download the game files and ROM’s.
It’s a frustrating process involving have to “click through” a lot of ads and spam offers on most of those websites to get to the file you want. If you already have your own console and only want a handful of games then it is probably worth it to just mod your own. Alternatively, you can buy a console or game drive from us with up to 12,000 vintage and retro games set up and ready to play.
Ahh – So it’s the games…
Lol. Yeah. It’s the games and a lot more actually. As far as the games go we have one of the most complete libraries of retro and vintage games on the internet. From the years 1983 to 2006 we have almost every single English language console game released. These files total 14.4 Terabytes of data and is stored in an offline archive. Be sure to check your products description to see which games are included.
