My copy of it arrived too. Along with that blue label version of F1 for the Megadrive.
No sign of RE Revelations yet though. Or The Game Paradise. Or the Retrode.
I'm going to be left with one of those situations where everything arrives all at once and you don't know which to play.
First world problems and all that :pac:0 -

That's the first thing I've bought in ages. I've been bitten by the bug again, I thought I was cured! Off to ebay
I just went through a flurry of ebay buying, neo geo sticks, wonderswan games, too much!
Time to back down, let the credit card cool down.
Actually, going to get one of those debit only cards, so I can't spend money I don't have on stuff, then I can load on any cash made in sales of stuff and work my way up to that Turbo Duo!0 -

Going by the Jaguar CD repair there'll be a ribbon cable and also a wire harness that plugs into the motherboard with 4 wires to solder to the laser, 2 to the motor to supply power and 2 to a switch that control putting the motor into the neutral position.

Do you not think that your gaming-goodness continuum will have more texture and colour if you don't fix it, put it in a wardrobe and forget the poisonous box never existed?
I mean, I'm a console agnostic, I don't believe in any manufacturer past the games it plays, the Jag only squeaks by with Tempest 2k!
The CDi has nothing going for it at all.
By comparison the Jag is verifiable cornucopia of videogame classics!
So, take the busted CDi late one night, into the back garden,
quietly so you don't awaken the...
Get a shovel from the shed and bury the useless frakker!
The rest of mankind will thank you!0 -

Arse!
I shouldn't have cancelled me pre-order!!!!
Still, does the add on do much to the game?
It plays just fine as it is, plus the added bonus that your 3DS doesn't make you look like a tool!
lol it does make it look like a fat ugly sister but I like it! Hand doesnt cramp up as much while playing.
It adds camera movement which I find a lot better tbh. Like I'm playin it on an Xbox or PS3 or something, not a Wii of course

Neal Stephenson, I have something of his somewhere, Cryptonomicon is it? Tough going either way.
Yeah, his books are really hard work. I have Cryptonomicon. I've not got through that one yet, but will do. I admit I stalled halfway through that one because it was so challenging.
Read a Kindle sample of Reamde and loved it. It's a huge read, but seems more appealing to me than Cryptonomicon. Hence the purchase.
If you want a challenging read, try anything by Richard Brautigan. Or Screwjack by Hunter S. Thompson. It's only 30 or so pages long but utterly surreal stuff. Great reading material.
@pdf php: I got that Star Soldier special mini series edition from a guy in Japan. It's Star Soldier. Anything 'Soldier' by Hudson is immediately excellent!
Hope there's a few DW:Gundam fans out there. I have the first two games, they are amazeballs. The 3rd game, graphically, looks utterly divine. And for the price this game costs on Amazon, you should be ashamed of yourself if you don't consider it for a future purchase. No excuses! (Unless you don't like Gundam or Dynasty Warriors games I guess.).
edit: Surprised nobody has picked up on the rare game in those snaps!0 -

£14.99 from Amazon. I set it up last night with a 1tb drive I had out of action for months. Has a LOT of important data on it, I thought the drive was dead but wanted to make sure (and save a few bob on finding out).
I cracked the case open the drive was housed in. Not an easy job by any stretch. Plonked it in this enclosure and it works a treat. The DC input on the old retail unit was fecked and kept cutting the drive out.
This enclosure for all of it's £14 and 99 pence is great value. Good build quality. All the connectors, cables, fittings and whatnots. It has a great activity light on the front too with a multicoloured led lighting up 5 stars across the front.
Very cool, good value, excellent build quality. Well happy with it (mainly because it got my important data back!).

Nice one man, need two of those so shall be ordering. Is it the smart type ones that shut the drive down when whatever its connected to powers off? I had one before that kept the drive alive, whirring away for hours. You had to manually switch it off0 -

With Windows 7 Ultimate x64 (OS I use at home) it installed no bother. No drivers needed, although it comes with a good full colour manual if you need any links or install info etc.
It's a fairly silent case. I couldn't hear drive access/platter spin when the disk was not in use anyway. It's got an I/O switch on the back, as standard I guess. Apparently it's hot swappable too. Though I doubt I'll risk trying to find out if it is or not with the HDD I have in there at present.
Bottom line though, for 15 nicker, you can't really grumble. It's one of the better enclosures I've seen. Great value. If you want a couple I wouldn't hesitate in recommending them. 0 -
Few random bits arrived today.
A new and sealed 3DO joypad(the FZ-JP1X version) as some of the 3Do stuff I got in Japanoland didn't have pads, a new and sealed DC mouse, a Fossil Abacus watch(runs Palm OS) for parts for my original one and T2 for the megadrive(complete and minty fresh).

Finally, the Retr0de is in your hands!

Nice to see the C64anabalt cartridge in there too.This enclosure for all of it's £14 and 99 pence is great value. Good build quality. All the connectors, cables, fittings and whatnots. It has a great activity light on the front too with a multicoloured led lighting up 5 stars across the front.
Definitely worth paying the extra over the cheapo chinese ones as most do not support anything larger than 640GBs or something.
Now maybe add a dab of Sugru to the corners to give it some shock absorbtion!0 -

I assaulted Infideals yesterday, wrestled it to the ground & stabbed it with the 20% code for boardsies. I blame pyong, buying The Tower has awoken the buying beast in me 0
