    Yep, where older arcade games were stored on ROM Chips, newer ones began coming on different mediums, such as CD, or, in this case, hard disk. So to play killer instinct on an arcade, you need the arcade board, which has the processor, RAM etc. and the hard disk stores the game itself

    I had a look at his feedback (only has 2, but 100%) and looks like you brought it from Hong Kong for $300!

    Eh, it's not quite that simple. You can't just toss the files on any old hard drive and expect it to work.

    haha, it's cool. I got a boxed one from ASSEMbler a while back.
    I was just making the comment of this guy's initially huge buy-it-now price.

    Eh, resale isn't much on that game. You can get it factory sealed for like $0.99, it just depends on shipping usually.

    Well the price of used N64 controllers, first party, here at Gamestop and EB go for $10!! and some of the joysticks of these controllers are in, at the most, fair conditions.

  19. I've spotted a really nice Nintendo Gamecube NR Reader (the green one!!) on eBay UK. I've got one of these so dont need it. Seller says it is tested as working and it comes with one game on an NR Disk (which are rare to find in their own right!!).

    Anyway here is the link:
