  1. Did you do the Funstock sale? 5% off 3 carts and 10% off 5 carts?
  2. I just grabbed a ticket. I don't have a Jaguar or a lynx, But I do have Evercade stuff. It will be nice to a have a smaller gaming event and I live a hour away. How does the ad-hoc swap meet work? Is it just bring a table and set it up in a certain area? Would power outlets be available? Also, let me know if you guys need help or to borrow any crts.
  3. I thought new members with less than ten (or one) posts couldn't post on the for sale area?
  4. My first order was on June 6 2023 and it shipped Jan 19 2024. So, 26 weeks? My second order was a week later on July 3, Hasn't shipped yet. So, I guessing that the quantity of orders is WAY underestimated by most people. I've got free shipping on my Sams club. Let me know if you need a 24 pack of 5 Hour energy.
  5. Not the same as what happened to @S1500, But I have met 2 or 3 AA members randomly just by what I buy of craigslist. Now if I'm buying retro stuff locally, I always ask if they are on AA forums.
  6. This a heck of a deal with that component adapter box box included! I've seen just those boxes go for $70+.
  7. I use an Xbox one controller, used to use a 360. The 360 required installing drivers. A generic Xbox one controller just plugs in and works. Works great for "big screen" mode in steam. I have used a switch too. Really didn't that the "accept" and "back" buttons are swapped. Normal if you are used to the switch interface. I prefer the Xbox for feel and because most pc games that fully support a controller, will show the corresponding buttons on the screen. Like "press A to run" & etc. Some games have icons for PlayStation controllers. I think the ps3 may work with just plugging in a usb cable in to charge port.
  8. If anybody here is playing with RF switch boxes, I have noticed marked picture improvement after opening the unit up to clean it. Spraying contact cleaner in the switches and vigorously working the switch can really help with the picture / signal.
  9. The new Harmony carts have a new chips. A small number of roms may need to moded to work on the new cart.
  10. Which one get - choose a unit with a disc drive. Either XBOX or PS5. PROS: Ps4 and XB one game discs are CHEAP. The X will play a large number of 360 and some OG xbox games too. CONS: I have both. I got PS5 because I skipped the PS4 and wanted to play some the 5 exclusives and the PS4 catalog. Some PS4 games require a PS4 controller - I think. The online setup for the ps5 SUCKS. If the PS5 has a network connection it doesn't like, the games take forever to load. I had to shut off internet accesses when playing some games. The X has special, expensive SSD upgrades. Which are required for series S/X games. XB one games can still played of a fast external HDD. The X box will also change the interface ever couple of years. Just different enough to piss you off. If were you, I'd figure which systems had the exclusives you want to play. And then go with brand you prefer.
  11. I bought a large Evercade lot form Blazing Lazers. Was a little worried as it was one of the largest sums of money I've done person to person. After reading his feedback, I decided to give it a go. Supper easy to work with. Good communication and quick shipping. I wouldn't hesitate to buy again and can vouch that others shouldn't to buy from him either. 10 out 10
  12. It time for "That Guy!"™️ to make an appearance! (But, seriously, as long as these PS are over 800ma, they all seem to work fine.) The power connector is a mini mono phono plug Also know a 3.5mm TS connector. This is a banana plug:
  13. Looks like you were able to clean off the tape goo on the 1702 - looks good. I guess you don't have any TVs that are new enough to tune channel 95 or 96 for the Famicom? Have you tried the channel 6 tweak? Adjusting in the modulator pot with one the plastic tuning tools.
  14. Do any of the 486 boards have pci slots? I need the bois chips for some of my boards.
  15. I'm about 99% sure that all these cables are made one- maybe two factories in asia.
  16. It's supposed to be one piece. It's the spring for the fire buttons. I can't find my Best electrons catalog, but I know he had the spring listed. I'm pretty sure I ordered one from him to fix a spring that looked looked like yours. Never-mind - 2/3 down the addendum page: Sears Arcade II combo Joystick / Paddle Fire button loop spring CO18079 $2.50 PAGE 155
  17. I just got the trailer in my recommended feed. I loved strong bad's cool game for attractive people. May give this a try pretty soon. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2442020/Dangeresque_The_Roomisode_Triungulate/
  18. If you were able to get it to print, than it sound like something just happen to die in the printer when you used it. It's pretty common with old monitors that haven't been used in years to work once, then have caps fail the next power cycle. I don't know how old it is. They started making those in the mid 90s and I think they still make them today. I get my load/ scale info printed on tri-carbon copy sheets. Heck, they windows 11 drivers! Easiest thing is to pop it open and look for a blown fuse and/ or bulged caps. https://www.manualslib.com/manual/696368/Okidata-Microline-320.html
  19. Read the vice thing. Not that bad, all things considering the source. TL; DR - One man band that doesn't have time to have his time wasted. I grew up in family that ran a mail order catalog. Like most small business, it's not 9-5. It's whenever you are awake. Thank god my grandpa sold it before online ordering and cellphones became an everyday thing.
  20. ^ This. If I didn't scroll thru the "unread content" option on the forum, I probably wouldn't have known about the last chance sale.
  21. Does that mean almost translucent? Judging by your numbers, The mid-west (Minnesota) has been very similar. The humidity has been going up - probably due to corn coming in. Its just been really dry this year. It may be contributing to the awful allergies this season.
  22. Yes, click order at the top and then the continue button. After that, it will bring up the store page to both versions of the cart.
