  1. I have a set and considering they use IR, they work quite well. Much better than the Acclaim wireless controllers for the NES (which are junk, IMHO). With my setup, I have the system about up in the entertainment center & have had very few issues. I can't recall it missing any inputs when the controller is pointed in the "general direction" of the receiver. Only times I have issues is when I point the controller upwards...which is a habit I developed when playing on my 360...odd. -Rob
  2. Yeah, that looks to be the case: Not sure why someone would bother; I would have expected some kind of enhancements. It's not like it's a hard game to find & play in its original format; I don't think they have all been gutted for homebrews, lol. -Rob
  3. Interested in a few items: 360 White Chat Pad $8 PS2 to PS3/PC USB adapter $2 PS1 Gameshark Genesis Sonic Spinball PCB only (Everdrive donor cart) PM coming. -Rob
  4. Like this: http://www.time.com/time/specials/2007/article/0%2C28804%2C1658545_1657686_1657663%2C00.html -Rob
  5. Seems the USPS is earning their "Snail Mail" nickname, at least in my case. Looking forward to its arrival. -Rob
  6. Played the new version and it looks and plays great! I do believe I'll have to pick this one up -Rob
  7. Never have seen the PS1 glove, so all I can say is that I hope that the PS1 glove was better than the Power Glove. I have a working Power Glove and it made playing a fairly normal platformer (M C Kids) into a test of patience...which I failed miserably -Rob
  8. There are a lot of systems that I enjoy, but if I had to choose favorites: 1: Atari Pong 2: Hard choice between the 2600, INTV, and CV, but I settled on the Colecovision. 3: NES 4: Genesis 5: PS1 6: Xbox 7: Xbox 360 -Rob
  9. Interested in the "Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3" set. PM on the way. -Rob
  10. In the case that this gets produced w/ the 3200-type controllers, a controller coupler may be of interest as well. Just thinking of this since Robotron is near the top of many "must play" lists for the 7800. -Rob
  11. That's what I've been doing- buying cheap CIB sports games (got about 10 @ 50 cents ea locally) and repurposing the cases. One of the cartridge shells was also repurposed for a Shadow Dancer PCB that I picked up in the marketplace. -Rob
  12. With older CD based systems, I have been pleasantly surprised at how many work even today. Out of the 4 Model 2 Sega CD's I've owned, one had a bad laser. Considering the age of the systems, I'm not going to complain about that. One did have a bad motherboard though (Wasn't the fuse; stopped working after it had been dropped by the prior owner). Same for the PS1's I've run across; most work fine. The 2 Saturns and 4 Dreamcast's I've had all worked perfectly. On the other hand, of the 8 Phat PS2 systems, all have had disk read problems. It was mostly bad lasers (1 had a dying motor), but three could play PS2 games, but not PS1 or CD's. Highly annoying. 3 original Xbox systems, 1 has a bad laser, one is starting to have issues with the tray sticking. And we shall not speak of the my first 360... Of course, this is just my experience. I got many of these systems a decade or more after they were produced, so I have no way of knowing how they were treated. But it seems that the quality of the components has gone down over time, expecially in the case of the PS2 lasers. -Rob
  13. Wow, this would be awesome! Even with a higher cost, I think that bringing the 3200 style to life would be worth it. And I agree, joystick ports in the front would be preferred. With the controllers, while I would likely be happy with a two button cx40, the 3200 controllers match the system nicely, so that's where my vote would be. -Rob
  14. Since I'm a cheapskate, I generally don't wind up with sealed games. One of the few I have gotten was Robotron for the Lynx. Only got that because it was cheaper than the loose carts, oddly enough. No hesitation or regrets with opening it up, though I might for an older, rarer game. -Rob
  15. I'd personally like to see Centuri's Challenger, as this is a game I've been playing @ a local arcade. Classic arcade gameplay, and I love the sounds. As far as I know, it was never put on a home console and it seems it would be a nice fit for the 7800. -Rob
  16. Yah, they were the ones I sent the GG to. No complaints on my end; I am rather pleased with their work. In my case, there was a slightly darker band in the screen that was not resolved by replacing the caps. It's fairly minor though and doesn't affect gameplay. -Rob
  17. As the others have said, that is definitely a capacitor problem. My GG was that way when I bought it, and I wound up sending it out to have all the caps replaced. Cost 25 bux, but it resolved most of the issues the system had, including the nearly-silent sound. -Rob
  18. Sorry, posted in the wrong forum. If a mod could move this to the "Wanted" forum, I'd appreciate it. -Rob
  19. This might be a long shot, but I'm in need of a replacement shell for a Neo Geo Pocket Color. Picked up a beat to heck unit which works great. Hoping to find either a complete shell or a non-functional unit which is in presentable shape. I'll need it to have both battery covers and both stickers on the back intact. As for color...well, it doesn't really matter (as long as it wasn't repainted pink or something ).. -Rob
  20. Purchased a C64 setup from Duallies & it was promptly shipped & was as described. Thanks! -Rob
  21. I've been using this site for my loose games- gotta make them take up more space . But seriously, the site has some excellent artwork available. -Rob
