Still have all my original consoles (and the kids) since bitd. Only personally collect for the 2600, however in the last year or so, have started to pick-up games for the Wii and PS3. The daughter is almost 20 and the boy is 16, therefore when they're older ... their personal "retro" console will be the Wii (the girls) and the PS3 (the boys). So, I'm collecting for them now They give me shit about it now ... but they'll thank me in years to come! Hence .. stumble on this little lot at work. Walking through the operations room and stumbled on a desk covered in 18 PS3 games someone was trying to offload!?? 10 games later and $30 out of pocket, walked away with a smirk.

Resistors/transistors outside of the main cart is not unusual or rare. As for the carts rarity, I'm not the expert. Rom Hunter or one of the other kings of carts should chime in to answer.

The Raspberry Pi and Retropie discussion thread
Spriggy replied to toptenmaterial's topic in Emulation
For those looking into "scraping" your roms for Retropie/Emulation Station, I started to use Universal XML Scraper V2 the other day. Initial opinion ... awesome!. The program runs on your PC/Lappy and you can directly link to you raspberry pi via the network. Hence, your PC scrapes the game data online, then can send it directly to the pi over your network. So easy. The 3 pic image scrapes look gr8 as well (ie screenshot, boxart, title marquee). Some good tutorials on lubetube. https://github.com/Universal-Rom-Tools/Universal-XML-Scraper/releases -
Welcome to AA Sudo. Nothing sinistar, but the lack of response from the locals would pertain to the plethora of information previously discussed about your said question, over numerous threads. So spam that top-right search box with your digits! Enjoy

Dude! I think you need to take a big breath and just chill. You've walked into THE worlds main online house for Atari nerds & collectors and advertised a rare cart for sale. Playing the chess game this way does not bode well. Regardless of who is right and wrong, It's like a car salesman telling prospective buyers they're a Douche!

I thought I was reading a Dr Seuss quote there for a second!

Likewise. The only way to watch it imo, is to carefully observe and listen to Nacho and his off sider Steve. Watching their mannerisms and the way they act. Changes the whole movie aspect. Otherwise, it would be a pretty ordinary flick. I've turned many a person over to this movie using this method.

Universal games cases. Loose cart solution
Spriggy replied to insertclevernamehere's topic in Atari 2600
All good. Read nothing into it. The internet is turning into a tippy toe place. Many tissues need to be issued at times! -
Universal games cases. Loose cart solution
Spriggy replied to insertclevernamehere's topic in Atari 2600
+1. All my carts are used. Although I do collect for the thrill .. I'm a 100% player. No variants. If I have the game, I have the game. I leave the boxed games for the next level collectors. But I digress. However, like you, I still wish to protect my loose carts. These protectors are gr8, tough plastic and easy stackable. Don't take up much space. Sort them alphabetically for easy selection (Thx Save! ) and booyah! -

This may not suit your path, but these are great imo. I only collect loose carts and use them. Some of the longer carts don't fit (like IMAGIC etc), but few and far between. https://www.retroprotection.com/Atari-2600-Cartridge-protectors_c261.htm -
