hi ,bought a Competition Pro Extra Joystick from a flea market and while it sort of works ok id like to replace the switches. its a Competition Pro Extra Joystick Clear version with microswitched fire buttons instead of leaf springs. It also has a 3 way autofire switch at the back But having a problem finding the type i need(never done this before) the only writing on the switches i can find yeilds no results . Fire Button (Blue switches) MG2c20 Direction Switches(Black Switches) no numbers,just says- Acehall Zero Plus on them. If anybody can point me in the right direction it would be a great help , many thanks

Showed it a couple of my friends that dont have net access ,they were most impressed as they r huge lynx fans. excellent video,thankyou.

doesnt bother me in the least if it has a box or not ,i buy for the game itself ,altho saying that id say 75% of my games do have boxes i must be 1 of the few ppl that totally hate those poster manuals ,i much prefer the boring little booklets.

ive got a pile of mint cond PS1 games all original ,tried to sell them on ebay and no takers lol i did sell some of the rarer ones of course but ive still got about 15 or so that r mint that no1 wants ive also bought some on ebay that were in a terrible state ,was amazed they worked tbh.

Electrocop was the 1st boxed lynx game i bought for the system when i originally bought the lynx on release.i thought it was an amazing game a the timewith stunning gfx ,completed it many times. it was also the game that made most ppl say wow! when the saw the gfx on a handheld console! suppose its all down to personal preference but imho Electrocop is a long way from being "shitty"

i use old gameboy plastic cases ,u can fit 2 Lynx cards in 1 case back to back ,ud think they was made with both the Gameboy and lynx in mind they are such a good fit:) they can easily be found on Ebay.

originally bought 1 when it was released ,had it about 6 mnths with at most about 8 games ,eventually sold it as i wanted a snes then i caught the bug again about 18 mnths ago and i went a little crazy on Ebay ,i now have 2 Lynx 1s and 1 Lynx 2 and currently have 46 games.

i bought a couple in the past that were completly dead (Zendecon/Warbirds) they looked perfectly fine but no amount of cleaning made any difference i suppose its mostly down to how they are stored and looked after ,but like anything you can no doubt get a faulty 1 that simply gives up the ghost before its time.

also 9 months in your basement probably wouldnt really help as its an enclosed enviroment where the smells most likely cant escape,leave it a garage or nxt to a open window if the weather is ok. if i wanted the item enough to pay money for it ,then i certainly wouldnt give it away.

having both games ,i have to say they r both pretty good ,but for fun and amount of time the game will last id, have to say go for Awesome Golf.

i always thought when u connect an AC adaptor on virtually any device that can use both, the adaptor automatically cuts off the battery supply?

on the other hand i have shanghai and it is probably one of the games i play the least. maybe my age ,but squinting at the screen trying to make out wat things are gives me a headache after 10 mins and i give up lol im sure its a good game if u liek those sorts ,but im not 1 of them. Slimeworld FTW!

i also prefer the lynx 1 ,feels more solid and it doesnt appear to get the d-pad fault that all lynx 2's seem to get at some point. i also prefer the sound on the mk 1 ,it sound much louder and deeper than the tinny mk2 speaker imo ,it being mono only doesnt bother me in the least. i ahve both versions of the lynx but the mk1 is the 1 i always use.

i recently bought a PS1 so i could play a few games that will no longer run on my PC Road & Tracks - The Need for Speed ( the original NFS and the best imo) + NFS 2 and they these seem ok gfx aint good of course but managable. Then i bought Ridge racer + Ridge Type 4 o dear lol ,they seem to me at least ,so blocky i cant actually tell where the corners are 50% of the time and Type 4 is terrible,car was flat out at top speed and i thought i was in 1st gear the update rate of the graphics was so slow when i realised it was a t full speed i almost passed out in shock saying that i still think Grand Turismo 2 still looks reasonably good for its age and still plays well.

i use a rubber (pencil eraser) works a treat and brings up the contacts nice and shiny

one of the problems being that i suspect some ppl will say they will release it just to get their hands on it. it would be a real shame if that was to happen and it did not get a release of course you cant make some1 release it but itd be nice to know if they had the knowhow/ability to make it happen. i know nothing at all about these things so i wont be putting in an offer ,altho id love to have it.

its fun playing the Gen version online tho

I'm the same ,i'd much rather have a proper instruction manual. The poster might look nice but is a real pain to open up and actually read tho. They also tend to get a bit more battered with them being bigger and being remove put back into the game box.

1-Todd's Adventures in Slime World -massive game and amazing fun,espec in multiplayer) 2-California Games -best version of cal games on ANY system imo 3-Gauntlet the Third Encounter -love this game great fun and long lasting 4-Blue Lightning - good gfx and a decent challenge (for me at least) 5-Electrocop -1st lynx game i completed ,will always have a soft spot for this 6-Gates of Zendocon -good shooter with some unusual baddies 7-Chip's Challenge -average puzzle game ,nothing special imo 8-Zarlor Mercenary -also not a fan

does Best Electronics ship to the UK and if so wat are their carriage charges like ? i would consider getting 1 if shipping is reasonable. i have 2 lynx`s currently both in decent working condition but id love to get my hands on a brand new unit..

the ones u mentioned.. -APB - Excellent game imho very addictive -Batman Returns - decent gfx and almost no gameplay -Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure - i really dont see the appeal of this ,very boring -Electrocop - the 1st lynx game i completed ,v good and can really show wat the lynx is capable of. -Gauntlet: the Third Encounter - another great game imo ,took me 8 hrs to complete with food breaks etc. -Scrapyard Dog - fun little platformer altho can be a bit frustrating,not a bad game tho by any means.

Slime world is a blast in multiplayer ,lean into a doorway lob a bomb in the room and watch as the ppl inside panic trying to get out b4 it blows its kinda like Quake in 2D

didnt bother to vote as my 2 fave game are not on the list. i know your trying to do it differently ,but obviously it isnt working out how u planned.

i think the Lynx 2 is harder to take apart than the Lynx 1 ,the 2 seemed to be made to make things a bit more tricky.

Lynx 2 for looks and ease of use ,but i think the Lynx 1 feels more solid and certainly has taken more of a beating than a mk2 can (frequently tested by throwing it across the room when i was younger) the Lynx 2 also seems to suffer from the sticky direction pad syndrome whereas the mk1 doesnt. shame they didnt combine the mk1s strength + reliabilty with the mk2s better design.
