Post every time you buy/trade something Part VII

I've been buying random games the past month and my list ended up consisting of this.

Final Fantasy X: International (Can't play it so I had to make a backup and use the ESR patch to play it since I only have a US PS2.)
Persona 3: FES
Starfox (SNES)
Megaman X (SNES)
Secret of Mana (SNES)
Legend of Mana (PS1)
Oddworld Abe's Exodus (PS1)
Resident Evil 4 Demo Disc (GC)
Starfox Assault (GC)

^Above 3 -- Garage sales ftw. All cost a dollar each.

And I got a nice new white case for my psp. Just waiting for Secret of Mana and the PSP case to come in from ebay.

 

Picked up This is football 2005 for the ps2 off amazon.

Not the most exciting game to get but it is another to add to the growing list of football games i have and i might try and start a collection of football games.

 

Bought Sega touring Cars for PC today and it came with Ecco the Dolphin for free although I didn't want it.


The PC version of Touring Cars is the Saturn code redone for the PC but here's where it's a million times better. While the PC version looks identical to the Saturn with all the same polygon bends and pop up and frame rate drop areas it's also a hell of a lot faster. The Saturn game was very good but suffered from really bad frame rate. This PC version runs a lot smoother even in the frame drop areas. Think of it as the Saturn game on speed! It's also online Vs, Lan and so on. Use the Saturn USB controller and you've got the best home version of Sega Touring Cars!!



Yakumo

 

Yakumo, what have you done to make it work on current OS, directx and PC spec? I was trying to play SegaGT on WinXP and wasn't sucessful. I'm asking because lots of games from Windows95/Windows98 days only work with certain directx drives and certain videocards (Which makes a pain to make them work).

Same problem affects Final Fantasy VII and Metal Gear Solid

 

FF7 can be made to work quite easily, there are even mods for it

 

All I did was a full install then skip when it asked me to install DirectX5. My PC is running Windows XP Pro' Edition with service pack 3 and the latest DirectX. My video card is Radeon 9700 Pro. The CPU is Pentium4 running at 2.81GHz. Memory is only 1GB of Ram. I never use my PC for gaming so I don't need a super hard core graphics machine :nod: But for emulation and stuff such as this Sega Touring Cars it works just fine.

I LOVE these USB Saturn pads. I've got a white one. :3 Johnny, the games you have mentioned don't have native support but fans have made patches etc to make them playable with modern rendering methods etc.

 

I have Saturn pad that has its wire cut off. I have thought about putting it to good use by buying a saturn usb conversion kit from retro usb. Anyone know how good it is and it's ease of installation?

 

Links please? ray: I would like to play MGS again and try SegaGT

 

Sexy black Wii remote today. It came with one of those retarded silicon cover things around it. I can't stand them so off to the bin it will go unless someone wants it for the price of shipping.



Yakumo

 

Black huh? You'll be moving to the dark side soon, won't be long before you buy a PS2 for all the great games you missed when you decided to hate the Playstation for coming out and killing the Saturn / Dreamcast etc.

 

That is one sexy Wiimote Yakumo.

Cool stuff!

 

Sell it on ebay. I can't imagine there ain't some Wii fans that are willing to pay relatively good money for it.

 

He just bought it though. :shrug:

I won a SCPH-50000 NTSC-J PS2 on eBay for £70. OH:

Ah well, least it comes with a stepdown transformer. Tad more than I wanted to pay though.

 

Not the whole remote, only the cover. Nevertheless it's way more fair to offer it for free!

If the PS2 is complete I don't think the price is too bad. It's well worth the money anyway, I can't imagine anymore what I'd do without having available all those great jpn PS1/2 games.

 

Do you really think people will pay for that black Wii remote cover? I wouldn't butthen again I don't even want it for free :lol: I'll put it in the "For Free " section of the board.

 

It's not boxed but I don't really mind, it's gonna be used for gaming. :nod: This will be used for playing actual JP games, not backups like my chipped slim. :redface:

 

Some beta and preview games

 

Just bought a new laptop, DELL studio XPS 13.

Beautiful creature :love:

Customizing it and restoring my backups of the old laptop as we speak :katamari:
