As of this time changing the battery of handhelds doesn't work and the battery disappears, the device still says empty

The last b42 patch made it disappear from modlist...

The spawns are a bit rare but with my testing by just playing the game i got all the consoles pretty fast.

What are spawns like for these? do they spawn really frequently? I most homes in america at the time had at least a NES

🍎Spicy_Apples🍎  [author] Oct 17 @ 8:49am 
I check if there is any issue
Federberg Oct 17 @ 7:57am 
One of the best mods) But I can't change the battery in the gameboy. The batteries just disappear from the inventory without recharging the console.

now imagine if you could hook this up to an emulator and play the game.. in the game
Sprezzo Oct 10 @ 6:43pm 
I do play with Item Stories so it could be the right direction
🍎Spicy_Apples🍎  [author] Oct 10 @ 4:29am 
Thanks, i'll check it out
Cyanide MG Oct 10 @ 4:19am 
What I have noticed, if you play with Item Stories, the dummy items spawn. Without Item Stories, they don't spawn for me. Maybe check into that for a compatible fix.
🍎Spicy_Apples🍎  [author] Oct 10 @ 4:15am 
I still cant replaicate this issue with "VGCDummyItem2" spawning. Everything works as it shoud for me. If anyone can send me their save file with the issue that would help.
sas647 Oct 7 @ 11:17pm 
You can't actually play the games?! WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?!

(amazing mod:steamhappy:)
Sprezzo Oct 3 @ 6:51am 
Same problem as others have reported, VGCDummyItem2 spawning with a question mark sprite

Hi, how can I provide you with a Russian translation?
Mad Cafinenator Sep 8 @ 12:43am 
Love this mod but getting the game boy is a quest. XD
Ajajane Aug 31 @ 9:28pm 
I'm having the same issue as Mr. Greed.
🍎Spicy_Apples🍎  [author] Aug 25 @ 11:50am 
I'll fix it up.
Mirko113 Aug 25 @ 9:45am 
Same problem with vgc dummy items spawning
Red Aug 9 @ 2:25pm 
megadrive lmao
nicebagdad Aug 9 @ 5:03am 
I am having a lot of VGC dummy items spawn, they are a sprite with a big question mark, any way to fix that?

This is such an incredible mod. Thank you for making it. I was getting bored of the generic TV sounds and this adds a level of immersion to the game that I love. Hope someone does this with VHS tapes.
Mr. Greed Jul 23 @ 4:29pm 
Anyone have the text "You need electricity, genesis, and a TV nearby to play." every time the crafting menu opens or an action is done through it? I don't see any keybinds for the mod that can be edited in ui or in files.
Oberbierzeltführer Siegfried Jul 23 @ 12:59pm 
Somehow the Sega CD,Atari Lynx and CD-I are missing.
Biko 33 Jul 20 @ 3:34pm 
I hope to see a b42 version once the tools are available
Lieutenant Orca Jul 14 @ 3:07pm 
Can't find the consoles, but finding games. Is there somewhere specifically I should look for them?

I did install mid-save, so maybe that caused an issue.
PeaceboyJohn420 Jul 8 @ 8:22am 
List of Games would be lovely
Miguelzim Jul 6 @ 3:10pm 
Muito bom, recomendo dms!:Alligator:
BruteThePenguin Jul 6 @ 1:10pm 
anyway to tune the drop rate?
JustinDaniels Jun 30 @ 10:09pm 
Kay, so for anyone asking if you can play the consoles: Yes and No.

No you don't ACTUALLY play the games within PZ.

Yes, your CHARACTER plays the games. You need to be next to a TV, have electricity available for said TV, and have the Console and a Compatible Game either in your inventory or on a nearby tile.

Typically what I do is grab the game I want to play, have a seat next to the TV, and use the game from my inventory, with the console sitting in front of the TV, like a 90's kid all over again.

It's a great way to Destress after killing a bunch of zeds, and immersing myself into a fully-accurate "What would I Do?" scenario.
Oliver Freedom Jun 6 @ 9:10am 
Can to play the consoles? Or just a decoration's iten?
MotoSpider Jun 5 @ 12:37pm 
Do you actually get to play it?
TheGoddess0fWar May 28 @ 11:00am 
how to tune the drop rate?
RunYouCleverBoy May 25 @ 1:14am 
it would be nice if it realization not in recipes menu.
so it throwed me errors even i crafted another things so i stopped use mod 2-3 mouths ago
syrdi May 22 @ 6:24pm 
Can we get a way to connect consoles to tvs in order to work? Sitting down playing a gameboy animation when i play my sega console doesn't make much sense. Also, there's a lot of dummy game items in B42.
JustinDaniels May 2 @ 1:33pm 
I have found a few of the dummy game items in the lootables. While they might not have much of a function, I was wondering if it would be possible to add a recipe for them that "Debugs" them?

An idea I have would be that the dummy items be converted into Game Cases, and that by right-clicking them, you can "Remove game from the case", which basically re-rolls the item into an actual, playable game.
NivekRkain Apr 30 @ 2:00pm 
It would be cool if you had to connect the console to the TV, and depending on the game it would play some images, it would be much more immersive.
Rem Apr 19 @ 12:04pm 
I dont think it does anything bad, but everytime i open the crafting menu to do anything, it says "you need a television and electricity to connect a sega cd"
CarlosCreeper Apr 2 @ 4:33am 
God bless u bro, nice mod but I'm scared of you may be getting banned for copyright (Sega + Nintendo).
TaikaJamppa Mar 30 @ 2:23am 
It's a damn shame the game is set in the early 90s... I am a late 90s kid myself, and couldn't imagine a single day without my PlayStation :steammocking:. I mean, I literally have one of each!
FrostFire DireWolf Mar 27 @ 4:01am 
For some reason I can't seem to play the gamegear

Not sure if this is a bug in B42, but consoles can still be played even if the TV is switched off. One would expect the TV to be switched on for console games to work. If this is down to game limitiations, perhaps adding a new channel for this to work?

That aside: the vanilla Handheld Game Console has neither been removed, or renamed as Nintendo Game and Watch (as I expected it would be) and remains unplayable.

Also, the tool-tips behind this mod are all squiffy:

*The NES, SNES, Sega CD, and Genesis games correctly state they require their specific consoles.

*The CDi games incorrectly state they require a Lynx to play. They should (and do) require the Phillips CDi.

*The Atari, Lynx, Game Gear, and Game Boy games have no tool-tip at all.

Started a new run and ended up with multiple systems after just a few days so yep, pure RNG
🍎Spicy_Apples🍎  [author] Feb 17 @ 2:42am 
I had the opposite issue last time I was testing the spawn rates.
Its really just random :ah3saki:.
But in the next update we are adding an option to increase spawn rates.
You can also check schools, those have really high chance to spawn all the items.
Rakensen Feb 16 @ 11:05pm 
Idk if it's just my game or if this is intentional, but the spawn rate on consoles is insanely low. Tons of games but nothing to play them on after several months survived
🍎Spicy_Apples🍎  [author] Feb 15 @ 10:14am 
Yet...
richardallard Feb 15 @ 10:07am 
Great MOD!

You don't even need to blow on the cartridges to make them work! ;)

@🍎Spicy_Apples🍎 Hey. Can I contact you on discord? I am working on a project that adds-on to your mod and I wanted your permissions for it. Credits will be given of course :spiffo: (Mine is bravepilgrim if you want to contact first and not share it.)
🍎Spicy_Apples🍎  [author] Feb 14 @ 11:49am 
hmm I can look into that.
