4300

Look into a sharp twin. One unit, less bs.

Actually bought this several weeks ago, but installed today.

Threw out a pretty low ball best offer for a "worked before going into storage" 5200 trackball and the seller accepted, surprisingly. Hopefully it still works. Best case, it's definitely going to need a teardown and cleaning.

Yeah, I love the color. I bought the component cables new back in the day. I'm hoping i still have them stored somewhere. Outside of that, it's a pretty easy mod to add a region switch, so I'll be doing that.

Just ordered this from Japan

Still need to calibrate it

I find most games to be unplayable with the stock controllers. I could get used to using them, but I honestly have no desire to. I have a MP clone on order.

You don't get an ass like He-mans without doing some squats

Not gaming related, but pretty cool nonetheless.

A calibration issue maybe. Odd that you don't get an error message

I have a feeling most of the disk drives out there probably don't have a lot of miles on them. I'm guessing the belts probably went bad fairly early on most of these and FD drives got thrown in a box for 30 years.

The clear silicone belts that most places sell as replacements seem to last a long time. It's the original rubber belt that dry rots and falls apart.

1st gen genesis and the super famicom are up there

Hasbro, the nostalgia rapers.

My dad was briefly interested in Mario and duck hunt when I got my NES. He'd occasionally play some light gun arcade games when we went to pizza hut or an arcade. That was about it.

Honestly, I'd give repairing it a shot. It's not THAT bad to do. I've got a few extra belts if you need one.

Unless it's specifically listed as working with a new belt, I would 100% expect it to not work. The belt is fairly easy to replace. It's calibrating the drive that's kind of tedious.

I'd say 1/3 are playable maybe. You do need to do some research before buying games.
