    That guy had a pretty amazing selection of unboxed games. Lots of rpgs. Again, I was also meant to bid on those but forgot to set an alarm.

    Ehrgeiz didn't even sell at 1.50!

    There was one on ebay.ie a couple of days ago with three control pads, a VMU and a couple of games. The auction was on 8.50 till the last 10 sec. Thought I'd have it in the bag with a proxy bid of 20 euro. Someone else did the same thing though. went for 21 euro.

    Yep! That's the one.

    So you're e***r then? I'm _***_. My name must be too long to display. It should look like this a********n.

    Should probably have bid higher on that one. Anything up to 25/30 was a a decent price. Bah! There'll be more.

    Already have it ;) It's somewhere in my stack of ps1 games back in the parents house. Would love to bring them out but no room sadly.

    I already have multiple ps1s, but couldn't resist this at the price. Plus all the cool suff that came with it. AND that it was boxed! Madness.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,183 ✭✭✭✭Atavan-Halen


    So thats PS1 no. 7 now yes? :P

    Have any that need some TLC you'd be willing to sell? ^.^

    Once my leg is healed I'll be getting up into the attic to see how many are actually up there/test them out. You can have one for free if you want.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,183 ✭✭✭✭Atavan-Halen


    Aw thanks! I'll throw you some spare games I have if you do :)

    I'd just like one to respray black and change the power light to blue. Make it look a bit different

    Yeah cool, a duplicate game you have would be nice in return :)

    (Did we just make the first arcade and retro forum trade?!:eek:)

    Black playstations look sweet alright. Ever see one of those Net Yaroze ones you could make games on? They rocked. If you're going to fit an LED sure you might as well go mad and region mod the thing while you're at it.

    Anyway, I'm going to shut up now for fear of throwing this thread off topic!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,183 ✭✭✭✭Atavan-Halen


    Ssh! Don't let them (admins) know! Are they hard to region mod? (feel free to reply in gen. discussion)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 276 ✭✭Dark Savior


    Sweet deal o1s1n,worth it for the Joystick alone.I swear we must check out the same Ebay auctions.I've been quiet the last week or so,still getting over Video Games Live,but am watching one game,fingers crossed I'll get it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,183 ✭✭✭✭Atavan-Halen


    Went to a car boot sale in Harolds Cross today. Nothing much there at all apart from the odd ps1 game and a sad looking xbox. But managed to get Final Fantasy anthology (- the FF IV disc) for a euro and a new copy of Tekken 3 for a euro aswell :) the seller also tried to offload Barbies water sports on me but I was having none of it. Also got a little megadrive. It's one of those 6-in-1 things but I thought it looked cute. It has Sonic 2, The Ooze, Ecco, Alex Kidd and 2 others which I can't remember.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,147 ✭✭✭Ronan|Raven


    I got a Commodore 64 today, tape deck and Silkworm the game. For zero euro and zero cent. Now if only my supergun would arrive...

    Got Ehrgeiz and Vagrant Story for the ps1. Both unboxed. But they were only 1.49 each. So I can't complain :)

    Haha, oh well thanks o1s1n! Didn't realise I was being silly, let me just up the price to 90 euro...nah, I never really got into that game, and I got it for free off a mate. I don't see the point of fleecing people because a game is an RPG, and to be honest, I don't see the point in being greedy. My approach to selling games is A) how much did you pay for it in the first place B) how much enjoyment did you get out of it.

    If I paid fack all, I will charge fack all, and if I really enjoyed it, then I don't see the point of pricing somebody else out of that enjoyment.

    Seeing as I'm back online properly now, just thought I'd throw up some pics of the Megadrive thing I bought the other day. Plus it's an excuse to use the camera apart from putting ZOMG HAWT1!1!!! pictures of myself on myspace. Will also thake better pics of my collection over the weekend.

    Those mini Megadrive yolks are so cute. Bless.

    I saw one online somewhere where a guy soldered on a cart slot. Pretty nifty.

    Got a heap of stuff in the post. Am going to have to stick up some photos.

    I mentioned before getting DS screen protectors to put on my other handhelds. They worked perfectly!

    It came with two (One for each DS screen obviously!). The slightly bigger one fit the Nomad and then the smaller one fit a gameboy. Result. No more scratched screens.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,183 ✭✭✭✭Atavan-Halen


    They are cute :) Ooh, would be great to add on a cart slot :D

    Pics! Please!

    Cool, eh? I wonder does it require much work.

    Just picked this up on ebay AUS -

    eccojr.jpg

    No booklet so I was the only bidder. People are crazy. I got that for 15 euro yet the last Ecco Jr went for 43 euro because it had a booklet. Is a booklet really worth paying that much extra? Seems it is for some.

    Thought I'd throw up some pics of my modded gameboy while I was logged into photobucket :D

    Pro sound mod is the bottom jack, side jack is for a pedal to start tracks.

    DSC_0209.jpg

    You can see the half speed slowdown switch where the speaker should be. The speaker was the only thing sacrificed making this. No need for it anyway with the pro sound out mod.

    DSC_0217-1.jpg

    The backlight in all it's night time glory. He sent me out the green one rather than the red. Must have gotten the two auctions confused. I was miffed to start off with, but then realized it was probably for the best. Staring at a red screen can't be good for your eyes!

    DSC_0210-1.jpg

    Added shoulder button. Really handy for skipping between the menus.


    DSC_0220.jpg

    1 copy of LSDJ. (Also have a gameboy transferrer link port thingy for backing up tracks. Knew there was something I'd forgotten to photograph)

    DSC_0221.jpg

    Converted Gameboy multiplayer hub. Allows you to connect a keyboard up to the gameboy's sync port. As far as I know you can then use this like a musical keyboard while your track is playing under LSDJ. Haven't had much of a change to try it out yet.

    DSC_0222.jpg

    This is a stomp pedal to start tracks. Under LSDJ the start button starts a track. So this is just a handy shortcut.

    DSC_0224-2.jpg

    It looks rather obscene with the power jack plugged in too!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,183 ✭✭✭✭Atavan-Halen

    Here's that Playstation auction I won a couple of weeks ago for 22 euro. Just to show you the amount of stuff that actually came with it. Insane.

    DSC_0209-1.jpg

    My baby finally arrived from Aus. They have a horrible thing about taking the hanging tags off Megadrive clamshells. So I replaced it with a nice clean one (Think the box was originally Premiere Manager 97..yuck!)

    DSC_0221-1.jpg

    DSC_0222-1.jpg

    Couple more hard to find PAL Megadrive games (They have the added bonus of being great games too!) -

    DSC_0223-2.jpg

    DSC_0225.jpg

    DSC_0224-3.jpg

    The book is knackared and the cart has a tear :( Didn't realize until after I bought it!

    DSC_0226.jpg

    I absolutely adore this. Got a flash card for it too but the thing won't connect to my pc. Shame as I have barely any GBA carts.

    DSC_0216-1.jpg

    Some stuff I just got from CCCP..apart from Robocop for the snes & Kurushi (Don't know how they slipped in there..also don't know why Cybersled is upside down!)

    Turns out the CDX is for the Mega CD I. I have a Mega CD II. There was another one made for that. However, they're both so god damn rare that it would be easier for me to get a Model I Mega CD than hunt down a CDX II! (Which I may do at some point)

    DSC_0210-2.jpg

    Metal Slug 3 arrived too. X isn't here as it's in the cab at home and it doesn't work with the MVS -> AES adapter anyway. Just need 5 now for the set.

    DSC_0213.jpg

    Leaving it at that as I don't want to kill everyone's bandwith. Well at this point I probably already have :D

    Recently rediscovered my love for light gun games. I've been meaning to get a guncon compatable set for Time Crisis with a proper slide recoil and pedal since..1996?!. So picked this up on the bay -

    lightgun.jpg

    One review I read the guy said the snap from the slide was so strong that it was actually dangerous. Sounds exactly what I'm looking for! :D

    I have a cheapo light gun that I think I'm going to try and mount into an airsoft rifle at some point. Would be excellent for Crisis Zone!

    I thought they were bastards to get since they never sold that well over here?

    Well this is odd.

    The box is indeed for one of those pre dual shock analog controllers. I opened it up just now and there was a black ps2 analog controller in it.

    'wtf?'

    Then I noticed the end to plug into a console was the same as the ps1 connection.

    It doesn't have the little thumb indentations like the picture on the box, so I take it it's just a black ps1 dual shock.

    That's annoying. Got me all excited there for a moment. Ah well, I've never seen a black ps1 dual shock before. So I guess it's better than nothing.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,183 ✭✭✭✭Atavan-Halen


    The controller connections are the same on the PS1 and PS2, hence you can plug a PS1 controller into the PS2.Not sure if it works the other way around. You'll know it's a PS2 controller if it says Dualshock 2 beside where the wire comes out.

    But you probably know that already :)
