  1. well you'll need the ram expansion to play some of the good games, like Perfect Dark will play bare bones without the ram expansion, but you'll need to actually play missions and stuff. 007 is fantastic though, Resident Evil 2 is good, Rogue Squadron, South Park Rally, Mario Kart, Conker's Bad Fur day, to name a few.

     

    Do you really think Kart is worth getting even in the face of Doubledash!! and KartDS? I downloaded Kart64 on the Virtual Console and never even touched it, since there's the same gameplay, plus tons of unlockable stuff, on the Cube and DS.


  2. Also, is there one that lets you edit the storyline text after each episode? Say, like, I wanted to create my own alternate storyline? Kind of like Final DOOM and the two scenarios in that one?

     

    Doom (and all of the id shooters) have a number of command line parameters for setting options and loading files. Ideally you'd save your levels as a resource file (a .WAD file) and then tell Doom to load it instead of the default resource file. You'd use a command something like

    doom.exe -file mylevel.wad


  3. ghost soldier you should add pics of your collection

    when you get a chance homie

    :)

    I have everything stored in boxe's since I moved. Most of my pic's are over at Rfgeneration, same screen name. My collection is sitting close to 1300 games not including doubles.

     

    Here is my latest find from last night. The last few time's I have been to this thrift I've found alot of games.

     

    Lunar Pool NES 1.00

    Wrestlemania Challenge NES 1.00

    Snakes Revenge NES 1.00

    Adventures of Bayou Billy NES 1.00

    RBI Baseball 3 NES 1.00

    After Burner NES 1.00

    Cool World NES 1.00

     

    C2 Judgement Clay SNES 1.00

    Dino City SNES 1.00

    Contra III SNES 1.00

     

    Would you be willing to let your doubles go for thrift prices? I'm a late-comer to NES and SNES collection and I'd be willing to take some of those off your hands if you had a list... :)


  4. Dude, get yourself some of these. They saved my life when I was wiring my gameroom in my new house, and they're velcro, so they can be reused if you ever reorganize (or find that you did something wrong in your first wiring attempt. I re-did mine about four times before I was happy with it).


  5. Well it's obviously a ton of work to sell each game separately, but for your best return, I'd shy away from including the rares with the systems. Throw all the commons in with the systems and sell the games people are looking for separately. I don't know what you have, but you could pull an average value off Digital Press.

     

    Or you could bundle them all together by system and throw them up in the Marketplace.

     

    I think your options are clear, it's just tough to pick one ;)


  6. dang mfoolsrun you got hooked up quite nicely shoot i approve!!!!!

    that's one heck of a friend what made him give all of that to you dawg?

     

    He's moving and doesn't have time for old games, and he knows I'm a collector (to use a dirty word). He's a good friend. I've been looking for a (cheaper than eBay) copy of Super Metroid for a long time.


  7. Does having stuff given to you by a really generous, really good friend count as a thrift find?

  8. I cleaned it to the best of my abilities and it does nothing different.

     

    Alright, well pack it up and send it to me and I'll... er... throw it away for you.

     

    Is your address still 1124 Kiss my @$$ ST?

     

    NOTE: Do not take my comment seriously it was a joke, but do take it into consideration.

     

    Hehe.


  9. I've noticed the Nintendo RF is way better than Atari RF.

    I can tolerate Nintendos being hooked up via RF, but Ataris seem to get tons of interferences.

     

    My 2600 has visible and audible "buzz" in its signal. Going through the above-mentioned VCR actually cleans it up a tiny bit (the audible gets a little quieter) but I pretty much have to play on mute until I can figure out what's wrong.


  10. Sweet, then I am happy with my purchase! I bought a top-loader for the same price (sans power supply) that I sold a toaster for. I am sick of messing around with 72-pin replacements and all of that. I replaced the pin and it worked for a few weeks and today it started blinking again and THAT WAS IT. Hit the cheapest BIN I could find, but did not notice it was absent a power supply.

     

     

     

    It uses the same one...there's only one NES power supply.

     

    The lack of A/V (and the price, obviously) out is keeping me away from the top-loaders. I have all my systems hooked up through a (pair of) switcher(s), including my 2600, which I'm sending through an old VCR (free!) to demodulate the signal.

     

    Do you have a solution for that, or are you going to use RF?


  11. Hi,

     

    My question is the topic...this is a hard thing to Google! So I thought I would ask people who might well know the answer. I hope it is yes, otherwise I am going to need to find a power supply...

     

    Thanks for any help.

    The Wikipedia entry for the top loader lists a few of its differences and doesn't include the power supply.

     

    This page says the NES2 power supply is an 120V 60Hz 17W Output 9V 1.3A, part number NES-002, which is the same listed on this page for the NES1.


  12. I got an ok deal on a toaster nes from ebay. Cleaned it up, bent the pins up on the old pin connector, and clipped the lockout chip (thanks for all the guides!).

     

    However, the mechanism for keeping the cartridge down is really tough to get to click into place. Any way to fix this? Now that I've adjusted the pins, I think I can get most games to work without having to even do this, but I was curious if anyone has any ideas other than taking parts from another NES?

     

    First of all, make sure you reassembled the thing properly. The black plastic cartridge tray has a tab which slides underneath the PCB. It's really hard to see and takes some work to make it fit properly. I had to disassemble four of my "fixed" NESes when I finally figured out why the trays weren't sitting properly upon reassembly. Screwing the tray together/down tightly with the tab on on top of the PCB can deform the plastic and cause the latch to stop latching.

     

    Most of the time, putting the tray back in properly will fix this problem. If not, take the tray back off and look at the front latch mechanism. You'll see a cheap wire spring/clip thingie. Make sure it hasn't fallen out of place and is clicking in and out of its slot properly when the whole thing is disassembled. On one of mine the clip had fallen out of place; I pushed it back in (just pushed it with a screwdriver, no bending or anything) and it worked again.


  13. How do you manage such regular hauls, Ghost Soldier?

    I hit the thrifts/pawns twice a week and yardsale on the weekends. It helps that I have a understanding wife who loves thrifts and sales as much as I do. I think I just manage to be in the right place at the right time.

     

    You have luck with pawns? I was asking my much-smarter-than-me wife her opinion and we decided pawns would probably be a waste of time.


  14. Hey, all!

     

    As my collection of variously loose and boxed games balloons, I find myself thinking more and more about how to keep them all stored, shelved, displayed, etc.

     

    Obviously games in DVD and jewel cases are easy enough to store on a media shelf. I have two of these that currently house my DVD collection and games respectively (and which I strongly recommend if you're looking for dedicated media shelving), but loose carts are a storage nightmare no matter what, especially for systems like the GBA and original Gameboy which don't have spine labels.

     

    How do you shelve and organize your games?
