Post every time you buy/trade something Part VII

10 million model PlayStation (NTSC/J) and Memory Cards.

 

I'm now the proud owner of Death Smiles for the 360. Missed this on release and even used it still cost a lot at 5800 yen!! At least Japanese used items are as new :nod:

Congrats mate. The 360 version has insane graphics, I saw it running in VGA on a Naomi cabinet (360 via adaptor w/pad convertor) and I sadly have to say that there's no reason to own the PCB if you've got the 360 version. The DS textures and sprites look immaculate and incredibly detailed in VGA and 720p, definitely the best version around.

I hope you are getting Mega Black Label soon, I think it's even more fun because of gothloli Sakura. =)

 

Oh yes, Mega Black Label was the first thing I downloaded before even playing the game. Going to have a good session on it once the little one goes to bed.

 

Death Smiles arrived for me recently too from P-A though.

£50, which is really quite steep. But I wanted it so meh.

BlazBlue Asian was £20 posted so I'm pleased with that - especially as I WAS waiting for the PAL release until I got my NTSC-J 360.

 

this for £1.50 from cash convertors in banbury

:love:

 

Won a Net City Upright Cab on the bay.

My first Cab, woohoo!

Now, how do I get my Neo Geo in there? :shrug:

That, or my Dreamcast will be hacked into the thing, out with the Triforce crap!

 

Hey, congratulations to your first cabinet This baby will change your life entirely XD

As for your question, I don't know if your cab is already jamma-nized. If it's in its original state then it is not. I guess you will have to change a lot of things in order to run a (jamma) Neo Geo MVS mobo in it. But running a Dreamcast in there is actually quite easy since you can simply use a VGA box and the vga-in.

Everything you need now is a pad hack for the controls. I know someone on triggerzone.de does pad hacks on request for Dreamcast (and others), if you wanna contact him let me know

I already have a cab, but I realized that for the entire fun you will have to own several. The first one I'll add to my little arcade will be a naomi high-res cabinet, Dreamcast-games look absolutely brilliant on these babies. Even better than on those tiny PC monitors... and Xbox 360's are pretty easy to connect as well (vga + 50€ pad hack = Cave shooters in full VGA resolution!!).

 

I think you can do it with a Vogatek supergun (Mark II, III or IV not sure which one). FrancoB made a 'Neomi' from a Confidential Mission UR cab. Pics are on ArcadeOtaku, check it out!

Congrats with your first cab, I am getting my second next month!

 

Wipeout Pulse Press Kit

Finally, after an exhaustive search and lots of asking around, I finally managed to pick one of the pieces I've been looking for - a sealed Wipeout Pulse Press Kit!

Now I just need to track down a Wipeout HD one...

 

Well, I've been ill and got paid... so that means sitting infront of eBay.

over the past week I've got:
Madden 2k10
NHL 2k10
GameBoy Printer
GameBoy Camera
Nintendo DS
Nintendo DS Download Cart V. 1

I think thats it

 

Finally decided to buy a new 360 game, the first after GTA IV on release. Always wanted to try out Portal, so I was really looking forward to this game. But only five minutes after I had switched on my BELOVED 360....



....!

Great how modern consoles work! The UPS guy already collected it today, hope the repaired unit arrives pretty quickly. Until then I play some Salamander on the Famicom, simple & unbreakable...

 

That terrible about your 360, how long did you have it?

Portal is actually good game, played the demo First Slice on steam and i must say i really enjoyed it more than i thought i would considering the type of game that it is, also its a game that for me would draw me in for a quick 30min play and then hours later i'd still be on it

Thinking of getting GTA IV soon for the 360 as i have borrowed a copy for the PC but i doubt my dual core computer in its current configuration will run the game. It makes having a 360 ideal as i can play games on it that are also on PC but that don't run well on my PC.

 

A few Mega CD games this time round plus Baroque Data File disc for Saturn.

Raiden IV - Xbox 360

 

Not game related but so cool. A CD replica of the original Japanese Vinyl LP release of Ghostbusters OST. I've never seen anything like this before. It's as perfect a copy as can be right down to the spine card and plastic "record" sleeve.

Wow, that's really lovely. I dig Japanese vinyl, but I won't buy any since when I did last fall, I'd never imagined I'd have to pay that sort of shipping costs. It's fucking heavy!! And it wasn't even 180g vinyl >_<

I've seen those vinyl replicas though. Here's a really lovely Pink Floyd vinyl replica box:

(watch the video!!)

All Pink Floyd LP's in cd-side just like yours. The actual CD looks like the actual vinyl version and is in a soft transparent plastic sleeve like you're supposed to store vinyl.. really lovely. Even the gatefold-covers are included.

They made box-sets such as this one also for Led Zeppelin and Michael Jackson. Great stuff, but I prefer to collect the LP's. I also don't own a CD player

 

It arrived!

Update with pics:





Now, how to get a Dreamcast in there? :shrug:

 

Vinyl remakes are only cool if they are burnt onto these type of CD:


They even have the grooves in the cd like a real LP. It's really cool.
