I'm having the same issue as Mr. Greed.
🍎Spicy_Apples🍎  [author] 25 Aug @ 11:50am

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 23 Jul @ 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.

Somehow the Sega CD,Atari Lynx and CD-I are missing.

I hope to see a b42 version once the tools are available

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 8 Jul @ 8:22am 
List of Games would be lovely

Muito bom, recomendo dms!:Alligator:

anyway to tune the drop rate?
JustinDaniels 30 Jun @ 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.

Can to play the consoles? Or just a decoration's iten?
MotoSpider 5 Jun @ 12:37pm 
Do you actually get to play it?
TheGoddess0fWar 28 May @ 11:00am 
how to tune the drop rate?
RunYouCleverBoy 25 May @ 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 22 May @ 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 2 May @ 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 30 Apr @ 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 19 Apr @ 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 2 Apr @ 4:33am 
God bless u bro, nice mod but I'm scared of you may be getting banned for copyright (Sega + Nintendo).
TaikaJamppa 30 Mar @ 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 27 Mar @ 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] 17 Feb @ 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 16 Feb @ 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] 15 Feb @ 10:14am 
Yet...
richardallard 15 Feb @ 10:07am 
Great MOD!

You don't even need to blow on the cartridges to make them work! ;)
Athens111 15 Feb @ 8:36am 
@🍎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] 14 Feb @ 11:49am 
hmm I can look into that.
Bobitec 14 Feb @ 11:44am 
We need a way to follow what we already found and put in our base and out we don't... Like book marcked mod but for console and video-game...
ReDjOhN 13 Feb @ 7:48am 
great thanks
Naustghoul 13 Feb @ 6:32am 
"Added Atari Lynx." See, right there is a reason to get this mod... Because nothing says 'Apocalypse' like an Atari Lynx.
🍎Spicy_Apples🍎  [author] 13 Feb @ 6:05am 
Update:
Fixed bug realted to item distributon on zombies.
Added Atari Lynx.
Blake Izayoi 7 Feb @ 1:34pm 
I think a cool middle ground would be to make it function like a television and VHS tapes; insert the game into the console via dragging it into a slot, then press play to make your character play it.
Skidee 7 Feb @ 6:58am 
Nice. I wish you well, and hope you have a fun time working on the next update.
🍎Spicy_Apples🍎  [author] 7 Feb @ 6:56am 
Could be in the future, next update is adding another console aswell.
Skidee 6 Feb @ 7:22am 
I love this mod. Adds a lot of great collectibles. I have a question though, do you ever plan on adding intellivision and colecovision? Seeing as you have the Atari, I think it'd be cool to have the other consoles of that generation.
Kashi 5 Feb @ 9:26pm 
what a shit load of fuck
🍎Spicy_Apples🍎  [author] 5 Feb @ 4:33pm 
Np np, have fun. :love:
Dr. Death 5 Feb @ 4:30pm 
Jesus i didn't know about that, thank you!
🍎Spicy_Apples🍎  [author] 5 Feb @ 10:32am 
With "R" when you are placing the item.
