No, don't do that!
Just buy a console and take your time building a collection.
PS2, Megadrive, Snes, Gameboy, these are all great starter systems, and there not too expensive to find games for them, keeping an eye on the markets, on the likes of Done Deal and Adverts too, as well as Ebay.
Youtube has some great channels offering buyer guides, but often the games mentioned jump in price, simply because of the publicity the Youtube channel affords them, likes of Metal Jesus' channel for example.

Is there much of a car boot scene for retro games? I only ever see sports games tbh (ps1 era onwards). I follow metal jesus, game chasers etc. I always find it laughable when the complain about over priced games they find at flea markets or even in stores...they don't have a clue how lucky they have it.

CiDeRmAn

It used to be more common to find stuff at car boot sales and Sunday markets.
In truth such places are good mines for previous gen, so these days there's plenty of PS3, Wii and 360 stuff but less PS, Xbox or Saturn, and anything cart based has become quite hard to find.
That said, check out this thread for a few great finds, often down to people heading to markets very early, sometimes a distance away.

I managed to nab an Xbox, Saturn and a Master System off a Facebook Buy and Sell, just ask in your local ones about old consoles and games and see what replies you get.

Sure, I have a few original consoles too!

Oh one or two I bet

So, thanks to Mozie I'm now the proud owner of an Ikegami broadcast monitor.
Beautiful image from an RGB source but my composite input from my Famicom doesn't want to play nice with it
Also, I'll have to get a neat speaker for it, as unlike the PVM, which I now own two of, it doesn't have them built in.

Any suggestions for seeing composite on the Ikegami?

Burzum

These were waiting for me when I arrived home Thursday, two months over the estimated arrival time and missing all leads and a console.
Hopefully not to much work is needed on them, just waiting on cables to arrive and shall test em out.

CiDeRmAn

How much did the pair cost you?
And, are you hoping they'll both be in working order?
Might be interested in one of them if working!

CiDeRmAn

Some fiddling with crappy scart adaptors and I now have the Snes, MD, Saturn and GC running into the Ikegami, and they look the business.
Can anyone recommend a really cheap stereo sound bar type thingy to let it have sound too?
The RGB Scart to BNC breakout adaptor has a set of audio phonos, just need something neat to plug them into.
The composite from the Famicom remains a problem, with the thing indicating it's getting a signal but you can't see it.

Burzum

Came in a bundle of stuff so paid around 10 each but if you include postage would be closer €50 each seeing as got caught by customs again.

They were described as working with pics of them at the home screen but no pics of an actual game running.

Might part with the slightly yellowed one will see.

CiDeRmAn

Rare Sony crap I don't need!
Yes please!

Glad you got it sorted! they really are a superb monitor and were a great find (Thanks BrownFinger) apologies I couldn't be there myself.

Do you have one of those multi scart box thingies with the audio jack on the front? Can pull the audio straight out of that with a 3.5mm audio cable rather than going via the breakout phono cables on the BNC connector.

edit - these yolks

I haven't set mine up yet but my Bose 321 system which I'm using for audio has composite in and component out so I'm hoping it'll convert it for me with anything that's not RGB

And one of these with a homemade BNC cable

CiDeRmAn

I know the ones.
I'll see how the fundage goes and I may invest.

Composite input still seems off, no idea why.
More experimentation required!

Interview on Thursday so it'll have to wait until after that...
Study to be done!

Jack burton

Just got my ikegami today. Looks like I've no cables that will hook up to it or the 8" Sony I got aswell. Where's the best place to pick up some? NES, PS1, Mega Drive mainly

Best of luck with the interview, I'm sure you'll be grand.

These are the ones I use, after that you just need rgb cables for your consoles

Cool, thanks.

I'll have a proper look tomorrow and see what I need

Not gaming related, but I got a new floof!

Here she is with attack mode engaged;

What did you name her?

Nothing settled on as of yet! I'm leaning towards Mort.

I like it! Morgan I was thinking of, because of the black crows for Morrígan. My neighbour's cat is named Setanta, that's probably why.
Oh and the cat in Persona 5, I still haven't my playable copy yet tho.

Mine was called 'Tempest' (after the Shakespeare play) his since passed

Sorry to hear Mozie my friend had a cat called Drama, he was studying Shakespeare at the time.
Soccer seems to be the theme for my dogs names, the current being Louie and he used to bite lol.

OwaynOTT

We called our black cat blackie. Really funny story in the pet forum about her and f anyone is interested.

@o1s1n
Be very careful. 2 cats will soon turn into 6 and back to 4. It's heartbreaking especially when they're pissing on your exspesive books



Also congrats when you should call her connors

Optimus Prime

We had a cat with one eye a few years back. We called him Saul after Saul from battlestar galactica.

CiDeRmAn

That is frakking cool, so say we all!

Jack burton

I got new collars for my mates cats a while ago, he has 3 and the tags read:

"C*nt 1"
"C*nt 2"
"This cat is OK"

Cats can be called anything because you don't have to call after them in public like dogs.

Los Lobos

We got two kittens during Italia 90, and named them Cagliari and Palermo, as that's where Ireland played their Group matches! Random
