I'm sorry I'm 4.5 years too late here! I have volume 2 and have been looking for volume 1 lol!!!

Whoops! wrong button I am good to go! Thanks Bob!!

Loose is fine in good working condition. Cheaper is better! Thanks, Steve

I bet money on it being the NC7NZ17, it's positioned just behind the socket. Yes, it's the 512-NC7NZ17K8X by Chad's description. See pic below. One of the chip legs is still attached to the board (U7 upper right). I may have damaged the pad but I'm no expert. I *hope* it can be salvaged: By the way, it's great to see the old names here! Thanks so much for chiming in!! Steve

Hello to all! I know it's been ages since I've been here and I'm not sure if any of my old friends are still around!! I could REALLY use someone's help!! I've owned a Cuttle Cart 2 for 7 years and it's worked flawlessly until yesterday. I pushed the MMC in too hard and unseated the plastic MMC card holder which knocked a chip off the board. It's the smallest thing with even smaller solder traces!! I got in touch with Chad Schell who immediately diagnosed it from a picture I sent. The chip I accidentally knocked off the board is still available BUT will require someone with microsoldering skills to replace it. I believe the chip has 8 tiny pins. Does anyone in the community within earshot of this plea have any experience soldering tiny legs to tiny traces? I can send pictures to any available party with steady hands and patience! Preferably you'd have a 7800 to test the cart (am I limiting the field too much, lol)? Thanks so much in advance! Steve

I admit I'm a sucker for specialty peripherals: -2 Cobalt Flux PS2 DDR pads (60 pounds each--tough to schlep out for my kids) -PS2/XBOX Karaoke Revolution microphones -PS2 Singstar microphones -PS2 Guitar Hero guitars -Dreamcast Densha de Go (train) controller -Dreamcast Pop 'N Music controller (the smaller, cheaper one) -Dreamcast Fishing rod (that I still use) This doesn't include the classic console peripherals like the Arcadia Supercharger, KidVid tape player, Joyboard, the NES Power Glove, etc (all of which I parted ways with long ago). However, I have not plunked for Wii Fit or Rock Band. Not sure if I will either. Too much stuff already in the closet

Laserdisc emulation with Daphne is great. I've been using that emulator for at least 5 years. I have it on my XBOX as well (DaphneX). It has a pretty good list of supported games as well...some I had never played (like the Don Quixote game and Bega's Battle). I agree that it can be a bear to set up with the MPEG files and framefiles. Not to mention it takes up about 25Gb of your hard drive (which can be an issue if yours isn't that huge). However, it does have an MPEG seek function where you can actually view the entire contents of the MPEG/laserdisc from start to finish. It's wonderful to be able to play Dragon's Lair, Space and Thayer's Quest again for free Keep in mind, MAME just recently started to support its first laserdisc game Cube Quest! Hit me up if you have any questions.

I remember the T&F controller bring useful for some version of Pinball

Space Invaders was the first game I played on my 2600 at 14 years old. Basketball was the second. Snoopy and the Red baron was fun too although that one may be a little tougher to find...as well as Sorcerer's Apprentice with Mickey Mouse.

But seriously... Kudos to those working on this...I know it's something a lot of people have been waiting a long time for. As long as the control is better than Asteroids, I think it will be cool

Ain't it great when you can have a good raster conversion of a Vector game?

I'm trying to rebuild my Type 1 self-centering prototype stick and I'd like to get new fire, keypad and S/P/R buttons. Who is selling the best ones these days?

Here is a (belated) pic: The emulators included are: PC Engine Sega Master System/Game Gear SNES (overclocks the GP32 to 166Mhz for better performance) XCade (arcade games-no sound) Atari 2600 NES Homebrew games: Giro (racing game) GPAsteroids Everything works great. You can also have my USB Smart Card reader/writer and I'll provide a backup CD of the PCLink software and all my backups of the cards.

BASIC was my first exposure to computer languages. Learned it in High School from 1979-83. We had 8K Commodore PETs with green screens back then. Used to stay after class and learns tricks. Learned about PEEKs and POKEs before anyone else I couldn't believe I still knew how to program something in BASIC when I downloaded a PET emulator. I was thrilled when I made a simple number-guessing game! Almost couldn't remember how to generate a random number, lol.

My oldest daughter turned 8 in May so I finally allowed her to look in to the VB (remember the "permanent vision damage" warning for kids up to 7??)
