Damn Tatsujin, your collection significantly improves like every week  . You should show another collection pick sometime. One of the big pluses of living in Japan.

[Joe Redifer]

Are you using the built-in S-Video?

[Tatsujin]

yes i do. is there an other one?

[drboom]

Recent buys - got each of the BB Crisis DVD's for cheap locally. Playing Chrono Trigger at the mo for the first time - super good. Reprint of Persona 2 snagged off of Amazon during that 'ultra-limited' sale.

Well I guess you could mod it for s-video and have two, or use an external RGB to s-video converter.  But I was referring to using it instead of composite.  Some peeps might not believe that an actual Mega Drive compatible device was released with a tr00 2 god s-video jack.

[guyjin]

an actual Mega Drive compatible device was released with a tr00 2 god s-video jack? I don't believe it!

yeah..that was one of my two major reasons why i wanted a wondermega so bad, that i can use carts & mega-cds in one and have a tr00 2 god s-video output plus, it's so damn good looking^^

i still like to hook up all my things via RGB, but since it's so damn hard to find a RGB-CRT over here (hard to believe but true), i'm just fine with s-video for the time being.

I always thought japanese TVs came with JP21pin for RGB are common like composite video...

[Sparky]

picked up at a fleamarket today...

ps1...Tail Of The Sun
SMS..Dead Angle
Atari 7800.. Centipede, Food Fight, Galaga, Asteroids
Atari 2600.. Taz, Rampage & Porky's from the 1983 movie

Never any turbo/tg16 goodness to found at those places for me

nope, unfortunately not, and only very few came with RGB anyway like sonys line-up but with a different plug like that from the playstation.

street fighter for pce... are there supposed to be two games in this double case?

[PCEngineHell]

I have had too much stuff arrive over past few weeks, so here are some basic pics of some of it. I simply dont have the time to take pics of everything right now, and more stuff is still on the way too, Joe figures, Ghost in the Shell CAV LD, ect. .

Was a sad, lonely, bare 2-Slot pcb. Had a top and bottom cut, and got it all together sturdy and consolized it. Will prob break back down when weather is warmer, and varnish wood, or whatever. Too cold to do so right now.

[NecroPhile]

^^^ Army of Darkness, Evil Dead 2, and Blade Runner. 

street fighter for pce... are there supposed to be two games in this double case?

Yes; the other side is supposed to contain a copy of Dracula X: Special Version. 

Seriously though, no.  The extra space was to provide adequate room for the hump in the HuCard and the thick(ish) manual; the same was done with Populous.  I imagine it was also for marketing purposes, since the immense awesomeness and gigantic 20mb HuCard couldn't possibly have been contained in a mere single sized case.

[blueraven]

I got a narfed Turbo Express with a rotten (wet) battery port (4 of 6 were salvagable) for $13. Now I have to make a new battery connector from wire and solder the damn thing. At least it came with a working TV tuner!!

Pics posted soon; My camera is junk.

Damn, could they get any lower-cut on that low-cut Lady Jaye shirt?

(I hope so. She was one of my faves back in the day. Remember the episode where she got shrunk and.... nevermind.)

Ooh, the Vaus! 

[Ceti Alpha]

I love the Arkanoid paddle!  Much fancier than the one I had.

[Tatsujin]

yeah..it needed some maintenace, but now it paddles just very well

[TR0N]

I love the Arkanoid paddle!  Much fancier than the one I had.

The one Tat shows is a pack-in for arkanoid 2 on the famicom.

I have,the game and it's paddle cib too i will say the paddle for it is nice and the cord length is just right too.

Though...i can't say the same for the oirginal on the famicom wich i have as well too cib.

The paddle for it is black with a red knob but i find it's cord length is too short.

Still there is one neat feature for it you can plug the paddle in from the original, arkanoid and into the other and use it for a vs play on arkanoid II.

[Tatsujin]

right tron

there is also a cib "Revenge of Doh" in the other shop near by me for about $18 which i ogle with but at the moment the two losey just do it fine

[TH0R]

Armed Police Batrider - A dream come true...I'm playing Batrider on real hardware.
/batriderpo0.jpg

Panasonic FS-A1FX MSX2+ - Not bad deal for $80 shipped. It's missing a disk drive but I plan to install a common PC floppy drive to fill the empty space.
/fsa1fxhv5.jpg

Ikari Warriors CP - My HRAP2 didn't have enough space to mount a LS-30 joystick. So I bought a used joystick enclosure that had a 3inch clearance, a perfect fit for the LS-30. I installed some yellow happ buttons, white yenox buttons, and hole plugs that bought from LizardLick.

Bought one of these today:

[Tatsujin]

Have fun with the controller lag hey that's what i hear the most about,msa for the PS2.

I've only heard that about the Wii and PSP versions. So far it seems fine to me.

Batrider is fantastic - huge Raizing fan (huger Cave fan though...). Good to see others here who are into the pcb thing. Nice MSX as well - been thinking about getting one, but it'd be mostly for show - not too many games I know of on it that I'd like. I'd like to try and play through the Castlevania version on there - the single screen jobber.

No pics, but I got Persona 4 today (yeah!!) and have a code for the closed beta of SMT: Imagine, the MMO game. Going to try that this weekend.
Persona 4 is fantastic so far. A lot like Persona 3, but even more polished.

[Tatsujin]

batrider is cool, but still nothing beats their debut work mahou daisakusen. my very best rizing oeuvre

[drboom]

Mahou and Shippu Mahou were both great, but I do like my shmups a bit more gritty, less fantasy. That being said, I'd love to find a Mahou board. There was a full kit that went virtually untouched on yahoo japan for 17,500 yen last year.

That's some sexy cheese you got there Tats!

Here is what Michelle bought me for our anniversary. She really knows the way to my heart.

[blueraven]

A precision Torx bit screwdriver set, 1 pack of Ernie Ball super slinky guitar strings, some rosin-core solder, 6 transistor caps  O:) and a 6-pack of Pabst Blue Ribbon

I can see why just with the game and it's paddle it sure is cheaper.As for myself i'm just rather picky when i got arkanoid 1&2 for the famicom cib.I just like having it's box with the art-work,manual and all.

Though i've notice arkanoid II shows up more cib then what the original does.
