Theres a charity shop by me that has loads of TV's for 5-15 euro. I'll be out on monday to pick up a big one and a small one.

Any particular brands to look out for or just the usual really?

Try to get a big 29 inch 4:3 Sony Trinitron like my one above. Then there's also that Bang and Olufsen Beovision that Andrew76 has - looks really amazing. Would be far less common than that trini though (could always just look out for a 29 and a small portable trini)

I saw a, I'd say, a 27 inch samsung, hopefully its still there monday. I'll get some other tiny tv aswell and see if I can hook it up in the middle of all my shelving with a nes or something

o1s1n

Good luck, looking forward to seeing the results

I really really want a little portable television for that true to life childhood experience. Stick it up in the bedroom and escape away sometimes with bags of 10p crisps and woppa bars.

There was a console TV there, only RF input but it would look amazing with a Atari 2600 woody if anyone is interested in it

I'm going to be getting a new crt in the next week or two, I'll be selling or trading a 29" Sony tv then so if someone is interested I'll be posting it on the trading forum.

Of course this all on condition I can get
1 The new tv fits up the stairs.
2 The Sony fits down the stairs.

Might have to swing the new tv in through the games room window!

Beat me to it! o1s1n, they sell one way tickets to Jamma+ now...I suggest you pick one up

New arrivals from Lukie Games {at last!}

Super Gameboy to replace the one PAL one I sold. Will my PAL GB carts work in this? I dunno...will test later



This popped up on 16bit Gems, was dirt cheap at about €5, & €1 postage



And to replace the trilogy I sold to some chancer on adverts







Building up a nice little collection of US carts now

if playing a game in 60hz is more important than the actual gameplay, you're doing it wrong imo.

Em, ok?

So basically:

Disregard the fact that NTSC-U/J is far cheaper to collect for?
Disregard the fact that the larger screen size improves my perception of the gameplay?
Disregard the fact the the full speed of the game improves my perception of the gameplay?
Disregard the fact that I've many other PAL games for other systems?
Disregard the fact that personal choice is in any way relevant?

If your going to make presumptuous, begrudging type comments, you're doing it wrong. Imo.

I know, there really is no excuse!!! Especially coming from yourself, the guy who's modded at least three devices in which I can output Sonic in 60hz

But playing in 50hz affects the gameplay... really really badly.

There really is no excuse, I mean, you just had to flick a switch!

It gets even worse, that Megadrive 2 is switchless! :eek:

They are balls hard at times, almost 8bit levels of difficulty

Considering the fact that the game is running at 60 frames per second positively affects the controls and gameplay in a massive way compared to 50 frames per second, I think you're the one doing it wrong there.

They will work, there's no difference or region locking between GB games.

Not retro. But I picked this up today. It was surprisingly hard to find considering its fresh release today. Must admit I'm disappointed in what comes with the disc version No artbook, no soundtrack, not even art inside the sleeve. But cant wait to get stuck in again. This could be long night.

I've been putting off rotating my Egret 3 for the last couple of weeks to play Batrider properly.

Just got an amazing deal from one of the lads over in the fighting game forum - I really don't know how it wasn't snapped up sooner.

Felt bad paying such a cheap price (20 euro!), but he's moving away and needs to clear everything out.

One thing I really did not expect, was for it to come boxed and in absolutely pristine condition - and a Japanese box too!

Here's some box porn for all my bearded box lover brethren out there. :pac:



And here's the stick itself. Oh, I forgot to mention, it's modded with seimitsu parts!



Looks like it's never really been used



Dreamcast seimitsu twins.



So now I just need to find myself a player 2 for some Ikea cocktail shmup goodness!!

Myrddin

VERY cool man! Did you do anything with that semi-broken DC stick?

o1s1n

Oh that jap Saturn Virtua stick that you had a look at? Forgot that was upstairs!

Which means nope, it's still exactly the same way it was when you reassembled it unfortunately!

Had great plans to get one of those cthulhu adapters and put arcade parts in it but it never happened in the end.

Steve X2

And its got the cooler/more expensive mesh ball top on it. Very nice dude, very nice

I either need to get a yellow mesh ball for the other one, or a plain ball for the mesh one. Can't decide!

Also don't know whether to get a shaft cover for the new one or just remove the one on the yellow stick. They need to be uniform...!

You know what to do

Danonino.

Great buy
The lads over in the fighting forums are all bang on. Long time lurker, part time poseur (hehe) over them parts. I met up with a few of them at one of the inferno's once and they seem like a grand bunch anything to do with sticks/parts your guaranteed honest advice.
Fecking different level at Street Fighter tho, scary ****.

Andrew76

Lovely sticks o1s1n. I spotted that post by Kokiki, €20 is an unreal bargain!

o1s1n

My other one cost €60, and I thought that was a Bargain!

He was selling an original AES stick for 20 too! I already have too though, so thought it might be greedy

When you grab the balls with your hands sometimes it nice to have some roughness there

Picked up a AES controller from the same guy yesterday. No more playing the SNK AI for me.

Andrew76

Picked up Andro Dunos earlier today. What an amazing hori shooter, normally quite meh towards them but this is brilliant fun. Better than R-Type and Blazing Star put together! :eek:

Gorgeous looking visuals, fabulous audio and excellent gameplay. Not that easy either. I'm not sure if it's emulated in Mame but if it is, then definitely give it a try if you like shooters in general. I don't have the means to take decent quality video so pics will have to do.









Used Parcel Motel and the Belfast address redirected to down south to save on postage. Was posted from the UK on Friday so really fast delivery too. Will definitely use that again.

TechnoFreek

Just checked. Andro Dunos is on the list for the 161 in 1 cart. Will check that out when I get home tonight. Not sure about Mame.

What parcel motel did you use Andrew? None in the sunny south east which is a pain. Luckily there's one near me in Ballsbridge. I've only used it once bit its a great way to get around the expense of shipping pcbs from the UK.
