    Hi,

    Is it possible/likely that I'd be able to find a replacement rubber/foam (whatever it's made of) Virtual Boy eye-shroud thingie? I really don't know the word for it. It's the part that blocks out the surrounding light when you're looking into the VB. I'm looking at one that doesn't have this piece and I'm wondering what the likelihood of acquiring one after the fact might be.

     

    Thanks!

    Nice deal on 31 2600 games for 15 bucks. And as for those duplicate SMB/DH I just use them as coaster, to fix very uneven tables, and to raise my TV half an inch (8 total, 2 stacked in each corners) I believe other were going to do things like build a table out of it, or even do the floor!

     

    When I worked at Gamestop (back when Gamestop dealt in NES games) we had a guy who bought SMB/DH carts by the tens and twenties. He claimed he wanted to corner the market.

     

    I think he may have tiled a floor with them.

    No games this weekend (terrible weekend for finds in CT, apparently), but I did manage to find an awesome addition to my game room; a "torch" light (one of those tall, skinny floor lamps) with a lava lamp built into the... "stalk".

     

    The lava lamp can be turned on together with the regular bulb or separately.

     

    The wife even thinks it's awesome!

    I have the main barrel and a couple of the attachments (I could take pictures if need be) and the cartridge that came with it, but no receiver or the rest of the attachments. I'm wondering if anyone is interested in trading either the parts I'm missing (or another Super Scope) to me, or if anyone wants these parts in trade for something else I'm looking for (I'd be willing to look at any offer you think is appropriate).

     

    Any interest?

    Hi all,

     

    I just bought my first vectex!

    My sister got it from a market for 30 euro's (that's about 42 dollar)

    It came with the following games (together with books and those transparent sheets):

     

    - Starhawk

    - Scramble

    - Fortress of Nazrod

    - Starship

    - Cosmic Chasm

     

    Good deal I think!?

     

    The graphics looks razor-sharp and everything moves so fluent! I don't understand why this was never succesful. It's like having a small arcade cabinet.

     

    Wow! Tell your sister that if she finds another at that price, I'll take it!

     

    Wow; Complete games and everything!

    Maybe lockout chip not sure, don't really see much point (I just don't completely understand what it does and why I'd need it)

     

    You don't need it, which is why it's safe to disable. The lockout chip prevents import games from running on the system, but it's also the source of the dreaded "flashing" problem that eventually affects all front-loading NESes.

     

    What happens is that if the lockout chip doesn't have a super-clear connection with the cartridge, the game fails to boot and you get the infamous flashing screen. Since the lockout chip is really picky about getting that signal from the cart, disabling the lockout chip eliminates one of the primary reasons the system would fail to boot a game.

    It surprises me that there doesn't seem to be an Open Source or Free Software solution for collection/shelf management. It's becoming more popular these days, since Delicious Library showed everyone that it could look cool and be functional, so you'd think someone would have jumped on it by now.

    I really like this thrifting thing.

     

    Goodwill today (Salvation Army is closed on Sunday :))

    All loose,

     

    2600, $1/ea

    Circus Atari

    Pac-Man (didn't have it yet)

    I left behind three Combats, three Missile Commands, a Space Invaders and a Kaboom

     

    7800, $1/ea (I don't have a 7800, but I figured it was better to grab these with the hope that either I'd find myself one someday, or someone here would want them)

    One-On-One Basketball

    Food Fight

    Title Match Pro Wrestling

    Asteroids

    Hat Trick

    Touchdown Football

     

    NES Advantage stick, $4

     

    NES Cleaning Kit, $1.39

     

    I'm pretty happy with it all. Anyone need these 7800 games? Apparently Title Match is worth something.

    I'm a Mac user, so currently I use Delicious Library to keep track of my collection, but I'm wondering what other people use?

     

    Delicious is a fantastic program, but it's payware, and it lacks a few features that would be nice, like exporting to HTML (or something else portable) and tracking multiple copies of a game.
