URL grey tea posted:Is there any way to buy a model 2 VA4 Genesis? I've been scouring eBay and looking at / requesting pictures but I haven't had any luck yet. Local shops all seem to have VA1 or VA3. On a genesis topic, these showed up in the mail! $70 for the pair on ebay seemed fair to me. One has a slight tear on the cover, the other has a rental-style photocopy manual, but honestly I like that type of throwback.

URL grey tea posted:Yeah, VA4 are these guys. Metal plate stops halfway-ish, and two square ventilation holes on the plate itself. If you have two of these I would buy one even if the reset button is broken It's slightly more complicated in that I svideo modded that one and I guess I didn't test the reset button, or I broke it. I'll futz with them soon, but no promises so keep looking. Re the Neo Geo forums suggestion from someone else: I regged there last night, logged in, browsed. This morning I got an email saying I didn't fit membership requirements and my account was deleted. Dunno, regged again with same info, we'll see.

The arcade version of 1 was awesome but the NES version sucked while the NES version of 2 was excellent but the arcade version was eh. 3 is garbage all across the board but at least the NES version 3 is better than the non-Technos Japan developed versions. The SMS version of 1 was great, flicker aside.

Elliotw2 posted:This is actually a pretty common myth, the Sega CD will happily output stereo sound without using the headphone jack routed to the SCD UNLESS you want to use the RCA ports on the back of your Sega CD for convenience or something. It's much easier to use your existing 3.5mm to stereo RCA adapter (you are using one right?) without loving with patch cables or whatever. But sure the Sega CD has stereo RCA out if you have it attached to a model 1.

I didn't post, browsed various forums including the market. There's a thread in there implying that new posters cannot post to the market at all anyway until 100s of posts. I also emailed that address conforming I'm real, have some aes games, etc. Whatever, I'll get by, just seems dumb.

Is the Neo Geo AES region locked? eBay seems to have almost all Japanese consoles which are of course expensive, but the US ones are even more so. I have a few AES games and would like to play. Don't care about CIB, just want a functioning console with hookups.

What is the real difference between an AES and MVS cart anyway? Are the pins just wired diferently a-la PC Engine/TG16? I thought I saw someone buying a cheap 161-in-1 cart and converting it where it just had wires all over internally, but now I cannot find it.

I dont think I saw this posted, but ESPN did an article on game collecting. It's focused on Stadium Events and some events around it: http://www.espn.com/espn/feature/story/_/id/18121761/the-true-story-nintendo-most-coveted-game edit: well then.

I've frequently justified purchases using the 'cheaper than original price' idea but never mixed in inflation. drat you.

It's nice because it supports composite, s-video, component & scart video out. That actually seems reasonable somehow. Although it doesn't seem to come with a controller. They appear to be in stock. Somehow they were selling on eBay a few months back for 40% more, must be streaky stock levels. I'm doing the math on that + controller + multicart vs cdz or aes. Do any burnable multi game CDs exist?

The actual mv-1c I have I added myself and is heavily modified past what they even offer. If you're curious about the layout I can but everything on the mv-1c was me. The yeah, seeing your soldering job probably wouldn't help. I didn't see any signs of buying parts on their website so they must not do that anymore. Ill probably have to buy one soon to satisfy this itch. Sucks that it doesn't come with a controller, so I guess it's like ~$700 all in for a multi cart + Omega + controller. Eesh.

Random Stranger posted:For a more fun topic, I want to learn to 1 credit a shoot-'em-up, but I'm not certain what game I should go with. The only shooter that I've ever been able to pull that off on is Blazing Lasers. There's others that I've gotten close (Gradius and Parodius games mainly), but haven't been able to do it. I kind of want to start with something relatively new me; it's okay if I've played it a few times but if I can get to stage four or five on a credit I probably won't want to go for it. Bullet hell is not my forte and I know Ikaruga and Radiant Silvergun are out mainly because I think I'd kill myself before I managed to clear them on a credit. I haven't gotten super far in it, but Phelios on Genesis is super fun and is a nice change up. Instead of space aliens it's Greek mythology. Vertical though. Also Gaiares if only for the mullet guy in their advertisements.

Do they make an adaptor to use a USB or ps2 keyboard on the Dreamcast? I've always wanted to play typing of the dead but don't want to have a keyboard sized peripheral in my life.

My Turbo Duo stopped reading CD-R's about 15 minutes after deciding to spend the day playing Dracula X. It just went black, but before that the music track would play once in a level but not loop. I also tested a few other games Id burned months ago - Lord of Thunder, Ys 4, now they all just go black when you load. Fortunately it still plays real discs. Curious if anyone else encountered this? They're all the same type of media and burner so it's hard to adjust that variable. I realize this is borderline  but does anyone sell 'repro' discs that are actually pressed? I really don't want to spend $160 for a game (although I guess I could always sell it after?)

It reads real discs fine, at least at the moment. Googling led me to these guys- I think they were mentioned on the 'Repros' game sack episode as possibly being dicks for not giving credit to translators of some of the things they sell, but I could have that wrong. https://pceworks.wordpress.com/availability/ https://pceworks.wordpress.com/2016/11/02/akumajo-dracula-x/ I emailed to see how the discs are actually made. Edit: added direct url. Also it looks like someone is selling this on ebay as new/factory sealed for >$100. They really need to change up the cover art or print REPRO on it or something. falz fucked around with this message at 19:09 on Dec 31, 2016 |

Interesting, i'll look in to adjusting laser a bit more. I do see that you can get replacement new lasers for $20ish on Ebay still (model HOP-M3), may be the way to go. Also, that website emailed back already- their discs are pressed if anyone is curious. If anyone else is curious about these guys, aforementioned Gamesack notes are at these timestamps: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wrt27X2frjI&t=272s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wrt27X2frjI&t=1023s Interestingly it appears that when they get discs stamps they may give away a bunch of disc-only copies on http://freeturbodiscs.com/, but they're currently all out.

A Yolo Wizard posted:Whats the best way to sell a whole collection? I have a lot of games (600+?) spanning multiple consoles. I'm not sure if I have the time right now to do the whole 1 at a time deal on sa mart or other forums. Big or small lots, only individually if your time is worth nothing. Maybe start by doing a lot per console type and list here and see what interest you get. Reason for selling?

Burned Castlevania and Spriggan, both read! Although Spriggan has static music and didnt load the game, its probably related to the ISO or something. Castlevania loaded no problem, and the Duo no longer makes super loud seeking noises anymore like it did with CDRs in the past

Kthulhu5000 posted:PCE CD issues can be related to the images, but drive burning speed seems to play a role, too. At least, I know that the CD drive unit I had would be kind of iffy about discs burned with my desktop's full-fledged DVD burner drive, but would also be quite solid with those burned with the CD burner in a ten year old Thinkpad I have. Now that I think of it I do have a PC in the other room it just never gets used. Maybe ill re-burn my problematic image from there just to see what happens.
