What do you reckon for £15 :nod:

Quite a bundle and with a HUGE double stepdown as well :dance:

 

Nice one VA, for £15 that is a nice lot of N64 stuff.

Were about did you managed to find all this and at such a good price.

 

Finally it turned up, the wait has been agonizing but as a nice unexpected extra i got the bonus soundtrack too.

 

^^ let us know how it plays.

 

That's a steal for just £15! Why don't you have a go at RGB modding it? Also if you already have a PAL N64, you can use the PSU from that, as the DC secondary volts are the same.

 

I found it on GUMTREE posted under this

Gumtree.com ad #31380807: Nintendo 64, three controllers, 6 games + rumble pack (£30 ono)

I only spotted it about a week or two after it was posted and asked if it was still available, he said it was and I offered him £20, he said £30 was as low as he would go. I blagged that he did say ono and it was for my son and he had £20 left from christmas. He then had 2 possible people interested and he would let me know. A week or so later I contacted him again and he had those 2 people not collect so I could have for £20

I went to collect with Owen (my son) in tow and he got it all out of his cupboard where he had a Wii/PS3/360 and loads of games so I knew he was pretty genuine. He said he would show it all working, but I said it was OK and if a problem I would call him (as very local)

He insisted to show it to me as it would only take 5 mins.....so out it all came.......said it was a Japanese model...........huge stepdown , game converter.........and he couldbn`t get it to show on his Samsung LCD, despite using a scart and the Y/R/W component type leads. Then he said oh yes needs the PAL Booster, but then didn`t have the AC Adapter for it.

As Owen was sitting with me with his £20 in his hand, he said if you want it for £15 as it was.......................so I said OK I could get the adapter for about £5 anyway.

So bargain city!!!!

I wasn`t overly worried about it not running on a TV as I had had problems trying to get 2 PAL machines running on TV`s at home and it all powered up..............and was all boxed..........so no reason not to worry about it....................now just got to try and get it to run like my PAL ones

Will probably sell it on as I am sure I will make a nice profit

 

Oh crap, I better get to my "Box 'o Gameboy mother board's" h:
Thanks for the heads up! :thumbsup:

 

So using your son to make money, that's not a nice thing to do. :fresh:

 

Well at the end of the day he benefits as for a 11 year old he has his own HD tv , 360 & Live membership / Wii / surround sound and shed loads of games

So he can be abused sometimes for benefit :nod:

 

99p

Both been opened but as only got late last night haven`t tried, pretty sure they don`t work, but may have a go at doing some modding myself and if I cock it up who cares!!

I thought they had standard screws, but look like some kind of Allen/Hexagon key :-(

 

Torx screws

 

Buggar, will probably have pay more for those drivers than the machine :lol:

 

You can get away with using a flathead, just find the right size.
Turn them on and see what happens, if there's no power at all it's as simple as replacing the PSU.

Otherwise it will give you an error code, either on the light at the front or on the screen if it displays.

 

I just bought a Nintendo Gamecube with The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker for 35.00 shipped and Super Smash Brothers: Melee for 11.88 shipped.

I sold Mario Kart 64, Super Mario Kart, Sunset Riders, Pitfall (32x) for 42.50.

 

More PS1 dev stuff has arrived:

• DTL-H2500 PCI and daughter card
• Matching controller and A/V cable
• DTL-H2510 internal CD-ROM drive
• DTL-S2320 Runtime Library Disc V4.0

What's particularly nice is that someone at either the carrier or customs seems to have screwed this up, in a positive way (for me :110. The packet got the usual green sticker denoting that it must be delivered to the customs office, instead of to the recipient. Luckily that didn't work and it arrived right on my doorstep :icon_bigg. It even had the customs notification (which is to be send to the recipient to notify him that a packet is waiting) still attached, indicating that customs really was about to hold it back. Saved me quite a nice amount of VAT :thumbsup:.

 

I can see why you're happy not having paid VAT on this, it has a "lingjr" look!

 

Now is it me or does that look like a 15-21 pin socket on the side of the left hand machine

Also haven`t seen a saturn controller for ages.......but the end looks odd?

Hope it may be something different but if not again small change

 

One of these plays music cd`s but not games.....sounds like it is not reading them...............any ideas or possible easy fix

The second one has a red ring and comes up with standard format something like "call service centre".............again any ideas to an easy fix?

Well found this for the one with call service centre

Your xbox is having difficulty communicating with the DVD drive. Most often replacing the DVD drive will resolve the issue.​

1 Check the IDE cable connection
2 Replace IDE cable with a known good one
3 If above do not solve the problem replace the drive

PM replies probably better than posting here ;-)

 

Controller end looks pretty normal. A nice find, looks like one of those saturns is a debugger, wish I'd seen these earlier you could have a bidding war.
