Hey, that imgburn plugin isn't supported on the imgburn website anymore it would seem, would you perhaps have an idea of where i could find a mirror of the file?

This should do it. just drop them in the same folder as the imgburn .exe

I think you just need the pfctoc.dll file but I've included the other 2 you might need as well. I've scanned it before uploading and its virus free, but no harm to run a scan yourself anyway.

Got mario kart, mickey mania, donkey kong country 1, my rgb scart cable and a new offical nintendo controller for the snes today.

Happy out, except the D pad on the controller is fairly unresponsive. Would opening it up and giving it a clean help? Iv seen people selling replacement rubber parts.

Yeah, bit of a pain all right. Maybe take it apart and put a bit of WD40 on it? I know if the buttons don't work fixya recommends you take it apart and use an eraser to clean the contacts but cant find anything about the D-Pad.

WD-40 will actually corrode plastics and rubber parts. I know this from back in my airsoftin' days. We kept WD-40 away from our guns with barge polls.

Silicone oil is your friend when it comes to lubricating plastics and rubber.

Must remember that, just picked up an airsoft gun myself a little while ago.

Oooh, what you get? I have a beautiful King Arms FAL which with a lot of expense, I turned into a Brittish L1A1. Then I buggered up my leg and never got to use it in a game. Sickening!

**** OFF! JUST **** OFF! serious? How much?? Actually, wait no, I don't want to know..actually ****, tell me. I cant believe that. Cereal. I'm jealous and I already own two bloody copies of the game! Well done! Is it in good nick? SO MANY QUESTIONS!!

SCAR TAN light with grenade launcher and a rather nice(pricey) scope with green and red laser option. More for target practice than actual game play as it was just modified and no longer falls within the allowed power for game play.
Just getting into it really and am more a collector than a player, for now. I used to play a lot of paint-ball so I can see myself getting into the airsoft games in the not to distant future.

Got my brother the Robocop Auto 9 Gas Blow Back gun for xmas from airsofteire and liked it so much I got one for myself, then got another and it went from there.

I'm guessing no-ones interested in Jim, so...



Awesome back cover:



Generally in good nick apart from a bit of sticker peelage:



Now to find a way to play the darn thing :P

Just happened to be passing by RAGE killing time when they were putting out the new shipment. Didn't even know what game it was on first look, only when I looked at the manual did I see references to M.U.S.H.A. and got interested. Had been googling the other Japanese games to see if they were worth getting, but as soon as I realised what it was I jumped!

Actually felt a bit bad when I checked online and saw the real value! Guy in RAGE was really nice about it (even tried to get it up and running with Action Replay to test it, and googled it for me to make sure it was the right MUSHA!) would have paid more but I genuinely didn't know it went for as much as it did, just knew the game was meant to be awesome and it makes a nice collectible. If our friends in RAGE are reading, you can rest assured I won't be selling it on for profit!

My Japanese Musha cart sticker is doing something similar to your one.



And I still thought I got a bargain at around €50

Darn crappy superglue!

A question - it's my first Japanese MegaDrive game, so what's the easiest way to play it? I have an MD2, it can't be as easy as filing down the edges on the console?

Retr0gamer

Playing MUSHA on a PAL console so it is slowed down to 50Hz is an absolute sin. The reason the game is so unique and amazing is because it's so bloody fast, it belts along at an absolutely crazy pace. Playing it on PAL would really ruin it. My advice is to get the console modded.

I'd like to chime in with you jammy jammy swine!

I'm pretty sure both NTSC copies of MUSHA have no region lock out (It's been a while since I've played it on an unmodded console!), so it would just be a matter of filing those little pieces of plastic off the cart slot.

But yeah, the horror of 50hz, the horror!

Yeah might drop him a PM see what's required.

As said, complete random chance, just burning time before the cinema and lucky days Don't think we're allowed complain about RAGE prices for a while now!

Have Bubble Bobble 2 for the NES waiting for me when I go to the US next week.
They have a shop in Jericho, New York called "Frankies" (little bit like RAGE but even smaller and they also sell a nice coffee)that I always check out when I'm there and a friend checks it for me when he gets a chance. He was in last week and they had Bubble Bobble 2 still in its box for 110 dollars. My friend said it was in near mint condition so I asked him to grab it for me.

It's a risk but I still think it was a bargain, even if its just near mint

Only prob is I don't have a US NES or a modded NES or any NES for that matter after my old one was brutally murdered by a moving company some months ago.

So I need to buy a new NES, what's the best option for me to get if I have normal PAL and also US games? Should I get a PAL NES and get it modded or a US NES and get that modded? Does it matter?

Modding a NES to play US games is the easiest mod you will ever do, ive done it twice myself and im brutal at this stuff. You simply remove a pin from one of the chips on the board and thats it. Enternow has a great thread on which i used to do mine. Ill see if i can find it.

Sweet, I'll pick up a NES from somewhere and do this mod.

Only problem is you'll still be stuck at 50hz!

Best to get an NTSC one. The music in Megaman 2 deserves to be played at it's proper speed

You could get a standard American one and do the easy region mod or buy an American top loader..I'm pretty sure they're region free (you might want to look into that first)

Might just grab a US one then and do this mod on it. Your right about 50Hz, i forgot all about that.
I'll see if I can get one over there and stick it in my luggage on the way back to Ireland.

Picked up Super Ghouls and Ghosts for the Snes today. I'm ready for the challenge

CDH

Was in a second hand shop in Galway today and got The Silent Hill Collection, Metal Gear 3 Subsistence and Shadow of the Colossus (with art cards) for €4 each.
Looking forward to Shadow of the Colossus as I've been meaning to play it for years but could never find a copy.

Jack burton

See thats the things about second hand shops, you can find some great deals. But it takes a lot of looking and i just feel weird going in to most of them down here. Not to mention that a lot of them have a strange smell!

Atavan-Halen

You get used to that musty old person smell after a while.

Jack burton

i could get used to it if i ever found a nice haul of games but to date I have found.....**** all

CDH

I don't really like charity shops either, this was a cash convertors style place, I've never found anything in charity shops.

johnny_ultimate

Bargain hunting - endless disappointment with the occasional spectacular payoff. A mix of luck, a keen eye and some more luck. And yet the buzz when you find that rare gem is hard to beat I rarely check charity shops, but I've found stuff I've been desperately searching for in the most unlikely of places over the years!

MGS3 Subsistence is spectacular, always glad I waited until its release to play MGS3. And SotC - its a one in a million game, bar the frame rate (I jest, I jest!).

Atavan-Halen

Charity shops are very hit and miss. Moreso miss than hit Although the odd gem pop up every now and again, giving you the strength to carry on looking in them!

johnny_ultimate

The RAGE has made bargain hunting much more efficient IMO! There's still the thrill of the Ebay chase, but nothing like walking into a shop and having a flick through the selection. Still waiting on that Super Potato Dublin branch, mind!

K.O.Kiki

Can't wait for the Ico/Shadow of the Colossus HD collection on PS3 -- 1080p (iirc) and locked 30fps.

And then The Last Guardian, too...

Charity shops just aren't what they used to be for old consoles since that damn EU law was introduced regarding electronics.

About 10 years ago or so they were a goldmine! It may have also been something to do with people back then not being as in to retro gaming as they are now
