That Mega Everdrive is going to look spiffing via RF Retr0!

Myrddin

Sold my Megadrive 2 there last week or so, so needed to replace my Sonic 2. Helped myself to a boxed Road Rash while I was at it, courtesy of Infideals

I've tried it. I had to clean my eyes out with a mix of Optrex and sulphuric acid. Needless to say I won't be using it until I get a RGB cable.

My cheap as chips Balloon Fight for the Famicom arrived this morning, looking forward to trying it out this evening.
Building a nice little collection of decent Famicom titles now, now awaiting Super Mario Bros 1&3 and Star Force/ Commando/ Raid of Bungeling Bay, that latter three ordered some weeks ago from the ever reliable French....
Any other Famicom titles in should be watching for?

Oh and got the Imgur app for my phone so here is Balloon Fight in all its grubby glory!

Dr Bob

Got this just now from infideals . Worth it for the manual alone!

Myrddin

Needs some cotton bud lovin' that one Cidey

It's all pal, don't even ask me lol.

Myrddin

Lovely haul! PAL makes no odds on the MD as its the console that matters, they can all become 60Hz at the flick of a switch!

Are you a Sonic fan or were they all just a bundle? You've got every Sonic game worth bothering with there

you should know I'm absolutely mad about Sonic, it's mainly the reason I got the bundle (everything in the photo was part of it)
have a spare MD now so going to put it up on the trades with some of the games I think

Zero Tolerance and Lotus.... Keep me in mind will you!

Andrew76

Wasn't Zero Tolerance the game o1s1n had and wanted to test the two player aspect of it? Nobody else had a copy of it though. Maybe it was a proto of it he had that the Russians were after.

Due to a recent Ebay mixup I got two of them instead of one. Fancy swapping it for something?

CiDeRmAn

Just ordered some switchable scary adapters, five inputs each.
They'll be RGB compatible and I can upgrade as I go, hopefully it'll improve my picture quality from all my devices, so that's good.
Using parcel motel as well as shipping to Ireland was expensive.

Tis almost Halloween I guess. Reminded me of this clip for some reason.

Good to hear you going RGB though.

CiDeRmAn

I quite like Monsters Vs Aliens, a lot of fun in that movie.
Colbert did a great job as the President.
No sign of a sequel though.

Yeah would be up for that although I've not got much to swap, hopefully I have something.

Raiden Trad for the MD arrived this morning. Got it from Jeff over at tokyoshmups.com, just before some high roller bought one of everything from his shop. :eek:

Was more for the collection rather than anything, have the PCB and actually I don't think I've anyway of playing the Jap cart - cba trying to wedge it into the Nomad slot. Have the rom on the Everdrive anyway.

Jeff is known to include KitKats with his sales but fair play he also threw in a couple of comics too. No idea what they are about though.

Optimus Prime

Got these 3 today



Also got 35 of those plastic game protectors steve recomended, they are great really strong and fit the games perfect, ill be getting more of these. You cant really see them here but the bottom row there is all in them. makes the games fit on a shelve better too. These are must if you collect any cardboard box type games.

Wouldn't harm to reseat all the roms on a socket once .

Took out the chips, gave the sockets a gentle blast with an air-duster and cleaned the edge connector. Game still crashes before end of first level.

Perhaps, just perhaps, it's those feckin' pixies, the evil little b@stards, not the band.
Hope this helps....

Is it crashing at the same point in the game or after a certain amount of time ?

If its the same point in the game each time then I'd suspect you've a bad rom in there and when its accessed just returns garbage.
No chance you can have the roms dumped and check-summed ?

CiDeRmAn

Raiden looks the business though Andrew, well done on a lovely purchase.

The newest yield from the recent PAL cull of Snes games



Doom is horrifically bad, the Snes even with the SFX chip isn't up to it...but still, being a Doom nut, I had to own it if even for the red cart

Retr0gamer

At least the SNES version has the courtesy not to fart in your face like the 32X version.

The frame rate though & muddyness of the whole thing make it damn near unplayable. Aladdin though, well thats just a cracking Disney platformer :cool:

CiDeRmAn

Aladdin on the Snes, great but not as great as the MD version surely?
A 6/10 where the MD game is 8/10?

Well I've both, I think the MD version is superior, but I'd give the Snes version a bit more than 6/10...the soundtrack alone warrants more

Myrddin

Love the Cave Of Wonders theme

CiDeRmAn

Sorry, after the 6/10 I should have put in a " " just to make it clear.

We have to keep up with so many internal Memes here, sometimes people forget one or two...

I think the Megadrive version of Aladdin is a far, far better looking game than the SNES game but the SNES game plays an awful lot better. I liked the art in Dave Perrys games but never thought much of the gameplay in them.

totally worth it for the red cart alone

Just bought a CIB Mother 2 there for $30, the seller has one more left listed at $40 but accepted my offer of $30.

So, stage 1 of my Earthbound conversion is underway

It's a perfect donor cart for an everdrive board if ever I saw one. 50 or 60 hertz makes no difference to this game, they're both dogs. Everything looks geat till you start moving, the things you have to do when you love Doom;)

Make sure you keep us informed on your progress. Do you think it would be feasible to mod an Dreamcast xarcade lead to fit a Saturn? I'm having no luck tracking down any joypad adapters and I have a spare Dreamcast lead and Saturn joypads seem handy enough to pick up.

I really need to buy something! But I'm saving up!

€15 might get you one or two half decent titles in Lukiegame...just don't expect them to be delivered quickly.

Retr0gamer

My ebay account shows I've not bought anything for over a month. Saving sucks

He's on ebay as well. He usually has games at very reasonable prices but what's more his postage from the US is the best on ebay for games.

These arrived today from a nice lady on adverts.
All in excellent nick, complete with manuals.

the groutch

Nice one with Forgotten Worlds, probably in my top 3 shmups, along with Biohazard Battle & Gynoug.

Me and the brother would always do 2 player, with us fighting to get the big blue orbs worth 10,000 of the currency

Nice haul! Thunderforce III and all! Can't believe I missed that :eek:

The listing description was vague, initially she declined to sell to me because she wouldn't post but after a while when no one else made an offer she changed her mind.
