    Going to be taking an extended break from gaming forums, really tired of people mocking me for stupid reasons

    Just saw this on Kickstarter, it's meant for musical instruments but would be a great way to power consoles from a USB charger: http://kck.st/1UyXvAu

      I was about to ask for specs, but far down the page it says 5-18V DC, 1A.

       

      However it says input power to the device is 4.5 - 5.5V, 9W which means at optimal conditions 9V 1A or 18V 0.5A. Just so you don't burn out your USB charging device, whether it is a laptop, a phone or something else.

    Putting up some stuff on eBay, check out my auctions here: http://www.ebay.com/usr/apolloboy8189

    Found a bunch of 400/800 memory cards and CPU cards at WeirdStuff, anyone interested in one?

      VERY cool! I haven't been to WeidStuff in ages. I should get over there again.

      Do any of the memory cards have the 800 shells or are they just the boards?

    4. ApolloBoy

      ApolloBoy

      I don't remember how much they wanted for them, I think it might have been around $10-15. The memory cards were just the bare PCBs.

    Check out my eBay auctions, which will be over before too long: http://tinyurl.com/b6hmnht

    Got my ColecoVision modded for component, still a few kinks to work out but otherwise I'm happy with the results.

  7. ApolloBoy

    Contemplating selling my Apple IIc and S-vid modded Atari 520ST. Any potential takers?

      think its got a 3 1/2 in. disk drive built in Zedex.

    3. LEW2600

      LEW2600

      nope.lol Atari 520ST, 520STFM,1040ST and 1040STE Computers. 68000 Microprocessor with built in 720K disk drive (not on 520ST model), MIDI serial/parallel ports

    4. ApolloBoy

      ApolloBoy

      It's a 520STM so no built-in disk drive.

  8. ApolloBoy

    Picked up an Atari 520STM today, I think it's a keeper from what I've played so far.

  9. ApolloBoy

    I have a chance to get a 520STM with a floppy drive and mouse for $50 locally. Should I bite the bullet?

  10. ApolloBoy

    Thinking of selling off my pre-crash games in favor of flash carts, thoughts?

    1. ApolloBoy

      ApolloBoy

      And to clarify, I would be keeping all my homebrews, repros and hacks, since I've been focusing on those lately.

      to free up space? go for it

    3. ApolloBoy

      ApolloBoy

      Well, it's not necessarily to free up more space. I have an Amiga 500 and a Lynx I want to support and I'm thinking of getting an X68000 down the road. I already picked up a Harmony cart so the 2600 stuff will be the first to go.

  11. ApolloBoy

    Currently attempting an S-video mod on my VIC-20. Wish me luck.

    I'm an Amiga owner... again. Hopefully for good this time.

      Awesome ApolloBoy! Enjoy the endless amount of retro computing and gaming goodness the Amiga has to offer!

    PayPal just randomly decided to place my account balance on hold, fan-frickin'-tastic.

      I just called PayPal and it looks like they goofed on my account. Apparently that thing is only supposed to happen with eBay sellers and I'm not currently selling anything on eBay.

      When I started using Paypal I had all my funds placed on a 20 day hold. Then they lifted it, then they placed it back on, then they lifted it..

      atarian63

      paypal rep told me that over 50% of ebay sellers have 21day holds on thier accounts now. they are expecting ebay to change the rules as it is costing them sellers big time!

    Never try modding an original Intellivision or Sears Super Video Arcade unless you are a masochist. Spent several hours modding it and troubleshooting the mod, and now after replacing the power ribbon cable it's dead. Dammit.

      I want to find whoever designed the INTV internals and throttle them. It's such a shame too considering how good the Super Video Arcade looks.

      I installed a composite mod in my Intellivision II, but I found that the results weren't really worth the work. The built-in RF modulators were pretty good, if you had a good cable.

    4. ApolloBoy

      ApolloBoy

      I have a Sony PVM monitor that lacks RF, so that's not an option for me unfortunately.

    @Tinman: Erm, you do realize that political stuff isn't allowed on the status updates, right?

    1. ApolloBoy

      ApolloBoy

      Also a good lesson as to why tying together your AA status and FB status isn't a good idea. :/

    You know when to invest in a car cover when random kids egg your car in the middle of the night.

    Finished modding my new DINA 2-in-1 and I think I'm in love

  18. ApolloBoy

    I've got a CIB DS Lite and CIB Wico 5200 stick for sale...

  19. ApolloBoy

    Selling my CIB Wico 5200 stick!

  20. ApolloBoy

    Got my PC Engine Duo-R wired up for RGB and fixed the fuses on two Sega CDs. What next?

  21. ApolloBoy

    Just picked up a new LaserDisc player at the thrift for $30

      It's not new in the box, just a loose one I picked up. It's a Pioneer DVL-700.

      How many Laserdiscs do you have? Been a long time since I had a Laserdisc player!!

      I've got around 16 so far, most of which I picked up for dirt cheap from a local record shop
