Picked Dragon Crystal and Virtua Cop in PS2 on sale in Game Over in Amsterdam

Probably would have been cheaper to buy them on eBay and have them posted here, though you'd not have gotten as high!

Picked up that Garegga Boot over on AO a few weeks back and got the sound fixed on it, game is incredible!



Also mpatou kindly burned me up some of English Wonderboy in Monsterland Roms he decrypted from the wii vc release. Great to have a legit set of English roms on my board.

Deadly post Mozie, Im always fascinated by people burning roms to a board.

Is it difficult, any tutorials around or is it board specific?

Full credit to mpatou who done incredible work on extracting and decrypting the wii vc release and getting them woking on legit hardware. The roms themselves can be found here

Edit: no ROM links

In fairness the guy is really sound, I sent him a few pics of my board and he burned me a set of suitable roms for the cost of a few chips. Played it all the way through and its perfect, he even managed to fix a bug which the tornado which was found in the vc release. Full details are on the thread over here:

Curious, why source these roms from the Wii VC releases rather than ones dumped from actual hardware? Are these files not correct in Mame, and as such, normally ripped ones won't work on real boards?

The Wii VC release was the first official english translation of the game. The game was never released originally outside of Japan and all boots which did make it west had awful engrish translations which made completely no sense and crappy title screens. The English version released on the Virtual Console was confirmed to be 100% genuine by Ryuichi Nishizawa, the main programmer of thr game. Hackers extracted these roms and I believe they are in MAME now.

Was over there a month a so ago, nice stuff but prices were a bit mad. Found a market not far from it tho that had a few bits and pieces that were more reasonable.

Also, some very nice gets to post later.

Near where? I was at the monthly market at the weekend on the Docks in a warehouse, had some game stuff but just got Sniper 2. The stuff that was on reduced in Game Over was all I got.
I'm not an encyclopedia of game prices so I wouldn't know much, there wasn't anything I needed to get or was dying for.
I wasn't there strictly to game shop either or could suit myself and keep looking for places since it was my friends birthday. Arcade was much more fun than finding games.

Near game over (Took me ages to find btw!) ..I was just walking around, not really knowing where I was going and came across a market. Think it was called Noordermarkt? ...Was a flea market with a bit of everything. Mostly newer ps2/3 xbox/360 stuff etc..

Where was the arcade??!?!

Like yourself, was just over for a friends conference.. had few hours to kill on my own during the day so went on a wander to G.O.

Its in the Red Light District called The Ton Ton Club, it's super cute, mentioned it on the discussion, it has a ball pit for adults, the letterbox is a coin slot.
Lucky! I'll know for next time and my friends can check it out too, thanks!

I think I saw that the last time I was there but I got in ridiculously early in the morning so it wasn't opened yet.

Was in Liz's shop last week too, her dog is so cute!

Liz got me this adorable Ness hama bead in a frame when she was at a con (she got a Yoshi's Island one)

Well I caved and bought one of these beauties.

First XL Nintendo console I've owned. The difference :eek: it's like I've been playing all my 3DS games the wrong way.

Roll on Xenoblade Chronicles...



Oh and guess who just discovered that she can walk across arcade machines. :eek:

Nice!! Xenoblade plays alright but it looks a bit rough in fairness, Wii defo preferable but if ya cant go that the 3ds is an achievement in itself!

Ah she's fine, they have their claws retracted when walking around on surfaces like that. Even if they were out they wouldn't really do anything as they're light little creatures. Worst she's done is a few paw prints in the dust :pac:

Full metal encased cabs FTW. Ain't any static getting in there!

The only issue with her and the cabs is making sure the service doors stay closed at all times. Now THAT would be a disaster :eek:

That reminds me,
last week me a few friends were fairly smashed in mine.
we were playing white water and there was a bit of a problem with the game so we had the glass off to fix it at least twice.
played a game and the problem came up again so we opened the door to take the glass off and the cat jumped out!
shes 100% deaf so didnt give a fook about the noise.
if we had of fixed it the first time she would of been in there all night because the juke box was blasting !

My cat
did stick his head in the blast city door before, thank god i wasnt pealing him off the inside.

He does hop up on the pinball table the odd time, just to be a prick, id say hes max 1.5kg so i wouldnt worry about it too much.

Being a cat and underneath a pinball thats on the go must be some light show haha

Couple of CPS2 games arrived this week, been on the lookout for these for a bit.

Picked up the first Pokemon movie in CEX on the way home from work today. Haven't seen it since I bought it on VHS when it released, ha. My DVD player says it can play badly scratched DVDs, time to put it to the test...

Seems lighter than the Kortek 26". Bracket helps i guess.

I do have a 240v->120v so just need the video connector.
Anyone know the type?
