Bought the following systems missing controllers: Magnavox CDI Panasonic 3DO FZ1 Original SNES PS2 Sega Saturn version 2 All my other systems have controllers. Does anyone have any spares that they don't need for these?

I have to admit I'm pretty pleased with performance so far between mame and ps1. Still need to set up atari, snes, nes and genesis. Then I'll go from there.

I was givin this tower a few days ago. Pentium 4 HT 3.2, 2gb ram, 250 gb HD, ATI Radeon 9550, Sound Blaster Audigy 2. How will this perform when it comes to emulation? Pic shows it running Leisure Suit Larry Box Office or Bust.

Some years back, I found a few of those at separate times and locations. Blue, green, and maybe others. Been awhile. Never kept very long as I've never really use mac os.

didn't have to "dig". Reason I stopped is because I could see something standing up out of the can. When I stopped to check it out, it was just sitting on top of a black bag. All my years of finding systems, cartridges, and accessories in dumpsters, not once have I ever touched something less than clean. Most of the items at the goodwill bin were clean donated clothes, hangers, candles, kitchenware, etc. No actual kitchen garbage.

Update: Fin ally picked up some Saturn games. 3 games with original cases for a buck each. One just happened to be a driving game. The Saturn wheel checks out 100%. Now if I could just find a regular controller.

And on top of that, I messaged corporate days go about all of this and haven't heard anything.

They are completely useless.

I've had it with them! Nearly every time i go there, i bring my cases to the counter so they can look for the discs and there's always one that they cannot find. Then i go there a couple weeks ago and i hear smashing sounds coming from the back room. I go to look and the employees leave one girl at the counter to work while they laugh and have a good old time smashing systems with a rock about the size of a basketball. I ask them what the hell they're doing and they said systems that don't work need to be destroyed so people don't go digging in the dumpster to get them and bring them back in here to sell. They were smashing a Dreamcast at the moment. There has to be a better way. Doesn't anyone know how to repair things anymore. It just disgusts me.

Not sure if i'd consider that the best condition possible. I've seen what can happen. Best to find one that had the plastic removed like it was supposed to and was well taken care of. Looks better with it off too.

Since the 80's. I don't usually bother with anything outside the original games and hardware. I haven't bout any homebrews or addons. They didn't have this stuff back then and i usually buy original games.

I've been seeing alot of talk on here about these and i wonder what exactly is an Everdrive? What systems use one? Where do you buy them and how much?

Yes, definitely get one. I liked the Zillion games and Alex Kidd.

I used to play the heck out of outrun 2019. As for Urban Strike, From what i heard, the strike series was supposed to be pretty good.

Picked all these up for $4.75. $1.00 each for the ones in cases and 25 cents for the other 3. Was surprised.

Nothing wrong with that! Might pick one up someday. I'm just a sucker for bigger screens tho.

Yeah stupid me, I think I burned this one at a much higher speed. It is Maxell. I put a music cd in yesterday and it played.

It was spinning when i first got it but would eject the disc. Changed with parts from that pc drive i picked up. Wouldn't spin anymore. Put original back in and spinning again. I think changing everything else helped because it actually tries to read now but i think i'm gonna need an original disc and not a cdr..

Most 90's tvs were junk. Should be able to find one. I probably should have bought it when i had the chance but i just didnt really care.

Well the guy went and sold it on me. I'm getting tired of trusting ANYONE when it comes to buying most anything. Especially video games. Oh well. Maybe i'll get one someday.

Well, changed back to the original lens and now it spins again. Actually tried to load but i think this cdr burn is not working. Need to get a real game to test.

Update: still haven't figured this thing out. At this point, i've changed everything in this unit but i realized that the disc used to spin before i made all these changes so i'm gonna put the original lens back in and see what happens.
