Yeah, I'll send a PM.

Tempest, do you have a cart with the Arcade series logo on it? Scan it at 300 dpi and I'll give it a try. If it doesn't bother you I can do it with a scan of some other black label cart like the Mario Bros. one.

Funnily enough I already did this for someone else. That can be found here. I fashioned it after the original Goonies famicom label art. Then again.. maybe it won't float your boat.

Hooray for mutilated Nintendos!

NES: Mike Tyson's Punch Out! Bionic Commando Monsters in my Pocket Powerblade (x2) Gauntlet (grey version) SNES: Metal Warriors All loose, some have nicks in label which is why I'm passing them on. Looking for loose NES, SNES carts or Genny/SMS games with boxes. Please PM lists of available stuff.

Would both female plugs on the Y cable be connected to each respective pin of the male? If so I could make you a Y cable free of charge JerseyDevil.

Lik-Sang.com has some 'PAL' Hu-cards for sale but the fact is those PAL games are identical to their NTSC USA counterparts, so yes you can play those games on it. The Japanese games have a reversed pin order on the contacts so you would still require a converter for those. The european TG-16 unit itself is the only true PAL item in that it outputs the 50hz signal. I have a supposedly PAL copy of Blazing Lazers and it plays fine on my American system. Have fun, btw, it's a great system.

If she included cash and it was in an envelope then for sure it was intercepted and opened. Canada Post is bad about that in particular. Note: I didn't learn this lesson myself, my relatives did though. For Christmas we sent a package to relatives in Canada at the start of December, it just did arrive this January, a month and a half later. As much as I like the possibility of living there again in the future I dread having to resort to their mail system.

Might want to be careful about that... ..32X carts are wider than Genesis carts are.

I don't think this would be such an issue if the labels on Atari carts weren't meant to obscure the screw holding it together. When the data goes bad it'd just be a matter of removing the eproms and reprogramming them, except in the apparent case of 2600 games, because then the original label has to be ruined. 20-30 years is a long time, but in 20 years you'll just be stuck with something pretty to look at.

Ebay is your best bet. The 3 1/4 floppies seem to fetch 20 to 50 bucks usually in the shape yours is in. I'm no AOL disk connoisseur though, I sold 70 of the disks (just from on and off picking them up) for 20 bucks and I was happy to get it.

If I suffered from your predicament, RCmodeler, I'd just lurk.

I -think- the emulator Meka supports the FM sound chip if you choose to enable it when playing certain games. I know for sure that SMSPower.org has a Video Game Music (VGM) section where you can download a Winamp plugin and FM specific soundtracks from games to hear for yourself. I think the quality is comparable to the upgrade in audio the Game Gear has in contrast to regular SMS music.

It will not physically fit in a Genesis 2 unless you hack off some plastic (A crime against nature) and won't run in a Genesis 3 due to some varying tech architecture inside. So yes, the PBC is really only meant for the first Genesis model.

Hey! I called because I wanted to get a plastic shell for myself. The best part is that the guy on the other side of the line suddenly got real nervous when I mentioned the Atari connection.

I really doubt they're using real Jag hardware. Is it hard to believe that the same pin card edge connectors can be used for other electronics? It could even be a different card edge. (For the cartridge) If it's being used for dentristry then it's a remold because it's much more sanitary than using the grade of plastic suitable for home consoles and repainting them.

Here's one in the attached image section. The window on the face of the chip is for erasing its contents with UV light for reuse. If they're maskroms instead then they're more permanent and suggest the software is either the same or maybe the Japanese version, since large batches of maskroms are usually made at once and can be very expensive. Still, you got a Contra 3 for 3 bucks, that's awesome. Don't the 'No Resale' carts go for about 15-20 bucks usually?

That is very interesting. Have you got a gamebit set? I'd open it up to see if there were eprom chips inside, which would suggest the program was very different indeed. If they're maskroms (without the windows in the middle) then it could be the Japanese version.

Still cool to watch it fly so darn far.

Woah, that one NE146 is playing must be tweaked because I got 400+ on my first try. The one Thomas Jentzsch posted about I managed to get a 323.5 too.

Nah, since the nature of the spring board keeps the NES cart at the angle it needs it to be. The shape of the cart connector's plastic also holds the cart in place so it can't slip from side to side (or up and down, in this case).

It won't. Everything in the original NES is molded to hold the cart in place. A novel idea I must say, wonder why I hadn't thought of it before.

The few current auctions on ebay for 020s are PLCC and a tad expensive for used chips. I haven't done much fishing over the year but the last time I looked for some eproms specifically there weren't very many available, compared to the others (256, 010, etc).

That's cool, I may go for those 010s when I run out. Which will be a while, still.
