Good work.

What sort of cycle would you use for that? An eco wash?

No detergent, normal cycle but removed before dry cycle. All socketed chips removed first.

Before:


After 15 mins:

- Next up is a pair of wico leaf sticks for my long overdue Multiwilliams panel, now all I need is to source someone with a router to route out the buttons and sticks. Do people normally top mount or bottom mount their sticks?

Bottom mount unless your panel/wood is super thick.

- You can probably do it without a router; just get a good drill + Forstner or spade bit. all there I think

I've done that myself on occasion, the 'edit' and 'quote' buttons are very near each other

Got a nice little present from my American friend.

Myrddin

Ooh nice. It's been climbing again in price lately I notice.

Not retro but got Yoshis Woolly World and a two Yarn Yoshi Amiibo characters.
I hope to pick up King Dedede tomorrow, making my Kirby set complete.

Retro wise all is quiet, might pick up a few bits for my now recovered Colecovision.

I posted the pics a while back but here's a vid of a couple of MSXies I got recently

don't think anyone is buying much retro at all because so much of it's outside Ireland, and the cost has gone up with the € so weak, and could get weaker if Greece leaves the EU.
great time to be selling on Ebay UK though.

I think the rising prices coupled with the falling euro value are making buying at a decent price harder. Still a lot of well priced games available from Japan if you shop around and look outside of eBay.

Label is torn, will give you €20 or swap for something in my ads.

Retr0gamer

Half eaten packet of taytos and some advice should cover it, wouldn't feel comfortable taking a whole 20 euro from you.

+1 for above, I'd just add that if using a spade bit don't all the way through with it or you risk it getting messy on the other side, Just drill around halfway through then again from the other side for a super clean finish both sides. A spade bit is my preferred weapon of choice when building control panels and it also works great on polycarbonate of you are thinking of having a clear overlay.

Use a corded drill if possible.

If you are ever in mayo I'll do it for you. we can do a test piece in mdf so get an ideal of fitting it out. if we need to route out the underside a bit for the joysticks we can do that too.

I might even have a leftover piece of polycarbonate left over from my last build thats big enough for a clear overlay.

If you clamp two pieces together it should prevent the blowout.

Hammer is super effective!

Few gets from here and there. The NES Top Loader from Adverts, looking at all my options with getting that up and running, mod etc. Summoner for Gamecube, Skyblazer for SNES, which was one of my favourite rental games as a kid and Oscar for SNES as well, a reasonably uncommon game.

Retr0gamer

Oscar is pish but Skyblazer is a real unappreciated classic. The company that made it made the surprisingly good Hook on the SNES and a few other games before making some of the best stuff for the Neo Geo Pocket. Definitely worth checking out the rest of their work.

Ya Oscar is fairly bad alright, just got to add to the collection really and for the uncommonness of it. I could have bought Skyblazer 2 or 3 times over when I was younger from the amount of times I rented it. Ah just saw they made some of the Metal Slug games for NGP too, nice.

Big spoiler - Ness becomes Ghost Dad, sorrynotsorry.

It's not a spoiler, it's a status - "In Mother and EarthBound, unconscious (fainted) party members take the form of spirits."

I'm usually wary about posting spoilers since YouTube comments ruined a few things for me.

CiDeRmAn

And I let you know exactly how little of Earthbound I have played, which is none

Retr0gamer

You're not a real collector unless you have an earthbound cart.

It should be a set rule you can't be here without playing it, hand in your notice asap.
Jkjk, you should give it a go it's definitely one of my favourite games of all time. I don't think it's too long? Probably 20 hours? I'm sure someone will correct me.
