Jet Get Radio!!!! post here when you get something new!

Laserdisc on a PVM/BVM looks really nice. That's how i view them mostly. The only problem is the "newer" laserdiscs that are all widescreen.

Made a little video of the laser disc haul.

There's so much to even get through. Have to build some good storage for all these now over Christmas

Last time I watched the original trilogy, I went with the full quality ~20GB de-specialised editions....wow, I can say for certain I'll never watch the official releases again. For the Prequel Trilogy I went with the HAL9000 edits, and again, wow....they're so much more focused. No amount of editing can really Save EPII, but I and III and actually very decent in this guise. It's really impressive what can be done, and how they can change the narrative at will with edits and new shots/effects....Padme gets a new ending in EPIII, one that's far more fitting and not at all eye rolling. The sequel trilogy I suppose I just don't know well enough yet to bother with fanedits, but they're out there too.

Mistercade time. Looks pretty good, although I need to align my display image and adjust the colours.

Great workand also to @Colonel Panic for the Mistercade, how much did you get stung for shipping/customs?

Fine ill get one

Christ JB, fair dues, that's some achievement. Hat firmly doffed to you good sir

Fair play! Takes dedication to do something that long. After that many years are you still learning new things or just getting better at it? Curious how you progress in something like that.

Well I'm only a hobbiest so not a competitive blackbelt at all.

But there's tons of minor details and variations on everything constantly to learn. I have a kind of game of specific moves that I consistently do so I'm ok at. But there's still an absolute ton for me to learn and refine

Got these off adverts. VHS board games I always wanted but never got, until now

Didn't post this earlier...got myself a MiSTer as a Crimbo present. Just got a case and upgraded the fan

oh excellent excellent get !!! bound to be a few left in the odd barn haha ! :P have fond fond memories of playing this back in the day in the bowling alley in Caherdavin.it was dearer per credit than any other game in the whole of limerick but worth it !

Wow, not a machine you expect to see at all anymore. Fantastic get!

Savage!

Might explain why we had some then Yeah 😎

layout was totally different back then ,eatery was to the back (and I've always thouht they made the bowling area smaller by taking out a lot of lanes)and more American themed to me anyway, I was 10-12ish the memories may be foggy now. The definitely had mad dog and big house of dead as well for s while. Spent more time/ money in the Vic so better /more memories of there 😆

Have you fired it up yet and played any?

Wow that's very cool, as for firing it up yet nope not yet, I have a super safe stepdown transformer coming Tuesday (since it's in a commercial unit and to trip out other things) with all sorts of circuit breakers just in case, so I will probably try it out next week, the owner said it was working not too long ago and now power supply isn't giving the correct voltage, whether it need a new one or needs a new internal stepdown or just needs adjusted that remains to be seen, so that's a starting point at least! Really looking forward to playing it again.

Ohhh I found out where it was... in a scrap yard unfortunately. Same faith as a most machines. Owner mentioned online recently that it was stored for about 20 years in Flannagans in Wexford and scrapped 7 or 8 years ago unfortunately. That would have been epic. There's one up the north in a field if anyone wants it 😄 Be warned this Afterburner was a nightmare initially when it arrived, almost half a tonne and the pallet it was on was collapsed so found it hard to get it off, eventually found a spot to fork it off with a forklift, I couldn't imagine how heavy a R360 would be, especially fishing it out of a bog!

Nice get, always wanted one of those after seeing it in T2

One of the first arcade machines I've a vivid memory of playing when I was a kid in Dawson's Bray. Absolutely incredible thing to pick up.

How's the condition?

This finally arrived in the post. Think I was waiting about two years!

Yeah it's honestly been a dream of mine that I never thought would happen but there you go! But you'd never know unfortunately I might have to sell it down the line if I didn't have space as it is a really big yoke, but hopefully, that won't happen.

As for the Hydraulics, I spent today inspecting the machine, both hydraulics and rust-wise. Hydraulics, bearings, etc, all seem to be in great shape (visual wise), really happy with that. Do they work/ are they seized? I suppose time will tell. I want to keep the cabinet as original as possible ideally. If let's say something is really beyond repair hydraulics wise, myself and some friends used to build fighting robots (like Robot Wars style) so I would say I would be able to create a drop-in replacement solution, some speed controllers and maybe some more modern motors, should have a lot of the parts already, but time and experimentation will tell, might make an interesting thread here if it does end up taking a lot of work to get it running well, but hopefully, it won't. Rust-wise, the machine is probably 99% rust free which is good, most looks like surface rust but might get a second opinion on that just in case.

My mother in law rang me today saying she spotted a game controller in a charity shop window. About 30 mins later I went to check out what it was since it was a 5 minute walk from work

needs proper neo colour coded buttons 😉! is the stick missing something ,cant remember the hole being so noticable or big and now need to see if its the same on my one .....

The hole is slightly larger for some reason

Risque 😁if I had of known I would have asked for a discount

This arrived recently and I've only had a chance to test it today. It's a SNES-2-3DO controller adapter and works quite well.

The main reason I wanted it was to use 8BitDo controllers on my 3DO's(and they work great). I wasn't a great fan of the 3D printed shell, so I contacted the dev and asked to get the source files so I could do my own.

Playing on the wireless 8BitDo pads is such a luxury compared to the wired 3DO pad 🙂
