    I've toned it down as of late. You'd want to see me a year or so ago, I was the Mrs Doyle of Arcade and Retro.

    And look at all the nice toys you have as a result! If only that commission rumour were true...

    >_>

    <_<

    On another note, I still can't stop buying NGP games. Just got Neo Cherry Master, King of Fighters R2 and Dragon's Wild. Think I'm about 1/3 of a way through the PAL set now.

    Excellent stuff. You going for all cib versions? Those cases really are lovely looking, would be cool to have a complete boxed set.

    Yep! That's the goal. I reckon I should be able to get to 20 games without breaking the bank. There are then probably 10 remaining ones ranging from uncommon to rare which'll be harder to get. But sure that's the fun of it..and I already have Magical Drop, so at least that's a start! :)

    Blimey! The Wonderswan is TINY isn't it!? It looks flippin HUGE in photos and videos. I'm surprised. A lot. :eek:

    I take it that's your way of saying - 'I got a Wonderswan, na na na naaa nah!' :D

    Black and white or colour?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,328 ✭✭✭Pyongyang


    Yep, I got a Wonderswan Color. Loose. Just now landed on my desk along with other goodies.

    I also got a CIB Wonderswan Crystal on the way but that's not been shipped yet. :)

    But it's bloody small though isn't it? Tiny little yolk!

    My tenner copy of SMT: Strange Journey just arrived. Thought it was going to be a vanilla copy at that price, but no, soundtrack and all :) Play-asia really upping their game. Less than two weeks shipping too!

    However, postman still hasn't brought a 3DS :mad: Need to go knockin' on doors me thinks.

    It's one console I don't own and have never seen in person! Would love to see some size comparison pics.

    Oh and I assume Judgement Silversword is next on your list? ;)

    Yeah they sent it off Tuesday fortnight ago (they had been waiting on it to arrive from Nintendo in fairness). Should probably have arrived by now, but its not the first time I've been waiting way too long for a package to arrive. Might call down to the sorting office and see if its arrived.

    I'll take some comparison pics of the Color, Crystal, NGP, PSP 1003, GBA, DS Lite and DSi XL when I have them all together. As for Judgement Silversword, I very nearly snagged it last week but the price just got ridiculous.

    Instead of getting that I got two MVS SHMUPS instead and that's me tapped out for the next 800 years. :o

    You know, you'd be entitled to say that if you didn't own an AES, a Virtual Boy, an X68000, Amigas, Panzer Dragoon Saga and loads of other winky elitist hardware and software.

    Was that the one in Germany that ended up more than one CIB on BIN. I put in a bid at 65 and knew straight off it was gonna rocket upwards:(
    Might try buy a copy this week with my last pay cheque


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,328 ✭✭✭Pyongyang


    I forget where it was located but I think that was the one yes. It beat a BIN price so I said I'll leave it.

    I bought Blazing Star, Aero Fighters 2 and Last Resort for my Neo Geo kit instead! :D

    Must have been the same one then. There's been a couple for €100 lately one sold not too long ago but 100 is a lot for a WS game and it might just send the missus into human eradication mode

    Is that the going rate for that game? I have no idea what it's worth.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Arts Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 29,724 CMod ✭✭✭✭johnny_ultimate


    Yeah you'd be beyond lucky to get it for less than a hundred.

    It would certainly be nice to own, but I don't think the game itself could possibly live up to the price. You'd be buying it for collection's sake TBH. Not that I don't want one, of course ;)

    These landed today (I also received Psyvariar 2 [PS2, NTSC-J, CIB with Appreciate DVD] and Virtual On: Ontario Tangram [Dreamcast, NTSC, CIB, SC-OCD] but have them stored away so not photographed).

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,328 ✭✭✭Pyongyang


    By the way, excuse my ignorance, but where is the UniBIOS? I'm thinking it's that chubby looking yolk front of centre of the board. I tried to pull the chip out thinking it was socketed, I guess not? It doesn't look soldered anywhere at all on the underside either.

    Where am I supposed to be looking? Any ideas? Not that I can use the thing yet anyway as my MAK Strike, PSU and AES stick haven't arrived yet.

    Cheers! :)

    Yeah, thats the chip in the middle front I think.

    You should be able to remove it as you can send it back to be reflashed with a new bios if they make one or you got an older version.

    Edit:
    It might say 2.3 or 3.0 on the chip as well. Thats the bios version you have.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 34,633 CMod ✭✭✭✭CiDeRmAn


    Not all MVS motherboards are socketed, see this site for details,

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,328 ✭✭✭Pyongyang


    Thanks gents. I could see no telling markings on the chip either only made in Singapore. Maybe it's not removable?

    I opened up the MVS carts last night to check the boards to see they were genuine. 99.9% certain they are, which is good. :)

    Shin Shinobi Den! Nice one! I've wanted to get Shinobi X for my Saturn for ages but it's just too damn expensive. May cave and buy that instead. I've heard the soundtracks are different though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,076 ✭✭✭safetyboy


    Hopefully my Saturn arrives soon, been dying to play one for ages. is it hard to make them region free?

    Just buy an Action Replay 4 in 1 and you're good to go with imports. It also works as a RAM expansion and has save blocks too. Great little device.

    If you're only going to play retail games on your Saturn there's no point really. The 4 in 1 plays everything fine.

    If you want to get into dodgy discs..well, that's another thing completely!

    A mod chip will only allow backups form the same region afaik...I could be wrong though. I've modded a few Saturns with region switches too much like the Megadrive. It's only three sets of jumpers which dictate the region. A region modded & chipped Saturn is completely universal.

    So the chip is only authenticating discs, not regions? Years since I dealt with Saturn modding but thats how I remember it too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,258 ✭✭✭✭o1s1n
    Master of the Universe


    I think that's correct yeah. Any modded Saturns I've seen tend to have a region switch on them like the Megadrive.

    It's quite possible there's a mod chip out there which does it for you too.

    As someone who's not really interested in playing backups, that 4 in 1 cart along with a 60hz console is all I needed.

    The only issue is those damn PAL optimized games. But I haven't come across too many of them...and sure I only really buy Japanese games anyway.
