Cheers! Nope I don't really display it. I keep everything in Really Useful Boxes packed away. Everything is packed in cello bags too. Just makes it easier to have stuff stored neatly away so I know where everything is.
Unlike the mess of cables covering my office floor!

SEGA Saturn Official Mouse
Now I can play The Tower properly!.jpg)
Certainly a nicer looking mouse than the later Sega Netlink mouse. It looks like a lemon that looted the start button off a MD pad and jumped in a bucket of black paint.
It seems like "the first version of this controller works too well, we need shoddy redesign for release outside of Japan!" was a thing for Sega during the Saturn's era.0 -

A few recent GETs.
Saturn RGB cable & a bunch of ferrules for the arcade stools.
Some RGB scanline filth: Jap Saturn + Radiant Silvergun + B&O tv. Won't actually be playing RS since this will be a vert setup, just testing everything works ok.
Pair of jap stools I got last week, they came in ondafly's shipment from Ronnie, cheers buddy! As seems to be the norm, they need to be refurbished - funky 'used scent' off them. :pac:
Already have new foam and velour enroute. The legs need some work to get rid of rust and then shine them up. One of them also just came back from a mechanic friend who did a bit of welding for me. Nice little project to restore them to pristine condition. One of them will go downstairs with the cab, as you'd expect they're the perfect height to go under the candy cp. Very happy with them.
Next up is a SS Virtua Stick HSS-0136.
Not sure how accurate this it but I had read that they usually come with a Seimitsu LS-32-01 stick which is pretty decent, but some of the earlier ones came with the better 56 stick - which is what I have in the cab atm. Also read of folks complaining that the buttons were duff so I was a bit worried it would turn up and be a bit crap.
Tested it out for a few mins and it felt pretty good; nice weight to it, good stick and chnky responsive buttons. Buttons look and feel like Seimitsu to me, defo not Sanwa anyway.
Popped open the case and low and behold it has the 56 inside it! Happy days all round.
I managed to order one of those Tototek PSX to Saturn adapters so I will be able also use the PS1 Namco sticks on the Saturn if need be too.0 -

Yep, that's the L56 Seimitsu virtua stick alright. Really lovely stick. Buttons dont feel the best if you're used to real arcade ones, but if you're using it with Shmups it's not so bad.
You could replace the buttons with Seimitsu ones (the ones on it now are just click ins), but you'd need to desolder the existing buttons from the PCB.
It's early days yet but they feel ok to me. They look very like the Seimitsu buttons I have already. But maybe I can twist EnterNow's arm to do a little button swap job for me to make sure. 0 -

I'm sure we can come to some accommodation
:cool:
Do you take minty CIB MD games as payment these days?
Few more gets; the Dell CRT mentioned recently, table/bench thing from Ikea with optional legs (:rolleyes:). Not sure that's the final layout just yet. Currently it's Saturn, supergun and PS2.
Also got some cool metal picture frames, Ikea again. Think I've had those flyers for over a year now, finally got off my arse and got them framed. Haven't got RJ Jet or Raiden 3 or 4 (not sure I'll bother with those last two as I'll never own the hardware for them).
Not sure where to hang them though, maybe put some of them over the cab.

that's seriously classy looking man!
The framed fliers look really well. How much are those frames in Ikea?
Cheers.
They were €6 each (these ones here). I thought that was rip-off but was told by someone who knows more than I do that it was a decent price for them? Seem decent quality anyway.
I had planned to get normal rectangular ones but the feckin flyers are an odd shape - just too long - so the square ones above were the only ones that looked half decent. I might have looked strange walking about Ikea with arcade flyers in my hands.
The flyers are very thin and kept sliding about inside the frame when closed, each frame came with a leaflet thing inside so I just put that behind the pic to keep them in place.0 -

You get Mame to give you an ini file to modify, google it for how, and then open it with Notepad and scroll down to the filtering option, set it to 0, that should do it, I think.....0 -

Ok so terrible photo but two recent gets.
Have already lost a few hours to virtua tennis and lookin forward to playin 1080 again. My favourite snowboarding game. Simple but effective.
On that... Am I the only one who pines for simplicity? Remember the old sega rally game on the Saturn? It only had a few tracks. It didn't take away from the game cause you mastered what you had. Now there's millions of cars and tracks etc. More is not always more!0 -

They're not too easy to fit, the PS2 motherboards are coated in resin which makes soldering more difficult & the points are tiny, its very very easy to bork a PS2 trying to fit a modchip. I done one once & it worked, & I tried it again & it didn't so I don't bother with them anymore...hdd mod is the best option
I know, I done several over the years and only ever manage to wreck my own one fitting an early messiah chip
Ya the McFree memory card and hard disk are the easiest option alright if you don't want burnt fingers 0 -
