  1. Well in that case, if you could make it so that the screws don't hide behind the label like official Jag carts that'd be great. Only in the interest of disassembly to thoroughly clean the cartridge contacts, personally.
  2. I rigged a quick connection during lunch to hook up audio and composite video and the flickering bars were gone, so it must be either the RF modulator or the coaxial switch. This issue may be fixed by replacing the system's capacitors later which I intend to do when I have the time, but I wanted to jot this down in case anyone ever comes across the same problem.
  3. Certainly possible, I was hoping to hear from anyone else who could verify their personal experience to that end. I plan on making an RGB cable myself but that is some time away.
  4. Just had a nice condition Jaguar come in this week and I was finally able to test it today, here's my issue: While running Cybermorph, pressing the d-pad and the action buttons at any point (title, demo or playing) makes the display flicker with a horizontal bar of interference randomly across the screen. Have tried two different power supplies and also two different controllers, as well as two different CRT displays. All I have at the moment is the RF switch for video, I would have to make my own a/v or s-video cable otherwise. It was noticeably noisier and more frequent when I initially turned the system on but it's become more subdued, though still frequent and noticeable. I have confirmed the system still has its internal shielding. I could take a video later if necessary and post it on youtube, I am wondering if anyone has encountered this issue before and got to the bottom of it? My initial guess is that the capacitors may need to be replaced especially because it was way more obvious early on until the console was run for a while longer, hence the failing caps eventually warming up.
  5. I've read that MMX3 is basically an in-house romhack of MMX2. It was built on the previous game and remnants of X2 remain in X3's ROM. If either game is run without CX4 support all the sprites come out glitchy and scattered, at least as I remember it in the dark days of SNES emulation before either game was supported. So that co-processor was doing more than just occasional wire-frame graphics.
  6. Of this I must agree. Anything large and fragile I would trust FedEx over UPS any day of the week. I don't have too much faith either with the USPS.
  7. Mike had given out tons of free accounts, so there's no telling how many were floating out there. I had one. (Which I did not pay for.)
  8. It's still a hard sell without an itemized list of the inventory. For all we know everything half decent has been cherrypicked already.
  9. I've owned it for about three years now and it's more durable than you insinuate. I have also created similar arrangements for friends with the same materials... so you set it and leave it be. If you swing from your video cords like Tarzan, I'm not sure what to tell you,
  10. Bump, some things sold, added something new.
  11. Bump, changed topic, different items for sale.
  12. Bump, price cut because having an extra sitting around doesn't do me any good.
  13. I have accumulated too many Sega Genesis systems and would like to get rid of one. It is a High Definition branded MK1 in decent shape but it has TMSS, relatively sure it's VA6, can't remember exactly. You can view more pictures assembled here: https://imgur.com/a/NXULf $35 + actual cost of shipping from zipcode 28217
  14. MotoRacer I'm so sorry some scumbag pulled that on you.
  15. What? What the hell happened here? Did the buyer pull a switcheroo on you?
  16. Machine sockets are terrible to desolder and the expression 'square peg in a round hole' applies very much to flat pins which 99% of ICs have. The only practical application for them imo is for headers made out of round pins...
  17. Sell the Devil's Crush and buy my games: R-Type - card/case/booklet $50 Legendary Axe 2 - card/case/booklet $44 Cyber Core - card with custom jewelcase and color insert $30.50
  18. I believe the default is 480i/480p at best for low resolution, I was wondering if custom firmware's enabled deinterlaced video yet.
  19. Pretty much because the USA subsidizes imports from China by not regulating/taxing it and also footing most of the bill for postage. Anything paid for 'shipping' is just to get it to the mainland docks, USPS takes over from there. (Oversimplified explanation but you get the idea) I've never run into fake chips but it has been obvious that various ICs were salvaged parts, evident desoldering on the legs, scuffing, and so on. The economy over there is such that there is an entire industry of product reclamation where circuit boards are broken back down to their basic components, profitable, or at least sustainable. It's also incredibly toxic for those involved with the labor.
  20. I would have liked a pair of the controllers because it's essentially brand new parts that could have refurbished a real NES gamepad, the quality is supposedly very high, or at least to the standard you'd expect of Nintendo*. Unfortunately doesn't look like that's going to happen now. *Nintendo has really cheaped out on manufacturing over the past ten years so they're not what they used to be. Most of the blame having to do with sourcing parts from China almost exclusively now.
  21. Dendy & Chinese famiclones have a history of using 9 pin connectors, nothing really special here.
  22. Man there are some real dense people in this thread.
  23. Even if the interface worked it wouldn't sync with the refresh rate of an LCD television.
