Endgame lets you use dual guncons. It's pretty good as gun games go, too.

When I don't end a sentence with a question mark, it means I'm experienced in what the hell I'm talking about. I still have a dead 30001 PS2, which no amound of tweaking has fixed. The DVD laser is about shot, so even adjusting its output would be futile. Not that the task is simple, the pot is well hidden and requires a great deal more of the system than the top shell to be removed.

Sega's own fault, too. It's not like people weren't buying the games.

I knew I shouldn't have checked this thread again.

9_9 See, I'm talking about increasing the output of the DVD laser, which is the ultimate end-user fix. That plastic disc doesn't do SHIT to solve the real problem.

NO, RENT IT FIRST. You'll probably get sick of it during the rental period anyway.

Hogan's Alley is as basic as it gets.

Very bad idea. When a PS2 starts spitting out DREs, it's done for. It needs serious repair. Minor tweaks only make for more expensive repairs. "How do we know you didn't break it even more when you took it apart and messed with the potentiometers?"

You know Goodwill has gone ebay! Those bastards! Who can afford $2 nowadays?

When I tried to play Madden 93 through the 32X, the fucking 32X fried my Genesis.

Yeah, I hated GTA2... But I've always hated overhead driving. Vice City (PS2) was great fun. I used to love cruising around listening to the radio, then taking a break to make some vigilante money, then going carsurfing. Hop on top of a truck, pop a round into the hood, and hope the driver freaks out. Riding through town at high speed, crashing through cars left and right, hoping you don't get thrown off the roof.... hahah... One time a Haitian tried to steal my helicopter.... so I declared permanent war against them.

SEE?! ARGH! GOD DAMN YOU, OHIO/PA! I should save the gas I use driving around looking for stuff and use it all at once to burn the state down.

See about sending it to Sony, they'll probably repair it for less than the cost of a used PS2 that works.

Lucky my ass. Most of the shit I buy from the stores I listed is blank media, manuals for shit I'll never see or use, and keyboards. Woo, I'm the king of thrift hunting with my UBER RARE IBM KEYBOARD LOT and 50 blank 5.25" disks. 9_9 My last haul was the shit I bolded up near the top of the page, and that took NINE HOURS of driving to get!

Quated for truth.

Oh yeah, the first four are Goodwill stores.

I'd punch a baby in the face for that Megaman 2 NP. More thrift reviews, but I haven't been to these in months: Warren, Ohio Medium sized, pretty bare as far as game stuff goes. Barely even Combat/Asteroids to be found. Almost never computer stuff. Youngstown, Ohio Big. I clean it out every time I go there. Occasionally computer stuff, rarely game stuff. Software, VHS aplenty. Lorain, Ohio (I haven't been here for ten years) Small. The last time I was there, I bought a universal remote for a dollar. Of course, finding game shit in Goodwill back in 1994 was HAW HAW YEAH RIGHT. Sally Army, Warren, Ohio Big. Lots of computer crap, mostly 8086 to 386 PC stuff. Sarah's High Class Junk, Warren, Ohio Big, but dangerous. The floor is literally collapsing. The only thing of any interest there is an IBM PCjr with the monitor, and a Commodore monitor. They want $20 for each. >_< You guys are welcome to them. Right next to Sunoco on Todd Avenue.

Or just get one of those VGA boxes... I'm not sure if the non-system-specific ones convert RF, but I know they convert composite video, which is easy enough to get out of most consoles and older computers.

I remember something about Pacman for NES and its IC board being required for several homebrew projects?

Bionic Commando. The arcade game was goofy impossible garbage.

It's not worth fifty goddamn dollars, that's for sure.

FPS games are a really shitty way to make use of an older system.

Glad I have no qualms about describing things as merely "old" or "shitty".

If it were that big of an issue, you'd spend more time at Polycount talking about how you shouldn't be talking about work.
