Noice wannnn!!!!

I got a nasty surprise.

There's no power lead, despite it being listed on the ebay ad. :mad:

Edit - I do have a power cable from the original Xbox that seems to fit in fine on the Dreamcast.

Would this one work? I don't want try it without finding out first and end up blowing it up.

It's just a normal figure of 8 cable thingy. You get them in everything. The only way you could do damage is if it was an import console. It's not an import console is it?!

No, it's not.

That's good to know that it will work. I'm still going to go after the seller for the lead though, considering that it was listed.

o1s1n

If he's a decent seller he should have no problem sending that out to you.

But anyway, enjoy the Dreamcast! I'm only beginning to get into it myself too. Make sure to get Ikaruga and Under Defeat

/Edit - Just got Soukyugurentai for the Saturn. Was also going to get Kaitei Daisensou but have heard a lot of discs don't boot due to a bad pressing that wasn't recalled. Will have to just stick to MAME with that one.

Seems to be my lucky week.

Just won this from an Irish seller -



You may notice the sticks are concave like my other one...:D

My mother just bought a ps2 in a second hand shop in Dun Laoghaire for 30 euro..including some games, controllers, buzz controllers and that.

Seems not all of them are following that no electronics rule.

She rang me up asking did I want it. Was a bit rich for my blood as I'd only get it to sell on. So it's going to my little cousins instead.

Gotta love having a mother who scours second hand shops for games and consoles..I trained her well

It's a gradual thing. It went from me being a kid and not being allowed more than 1 console, to her actively seeking them out. The trick at first is to pretend that you're going to sell them on.

'oh no, don't buy it..it's just that it's worth about three times what they're selling it for'

/mothers eyes light up with euro signs.

And yes, more pics..pics pics pics!

Charity shop dude, where retro gaming goodness is alive and well:pac:

God bless little old ladies behind the counters who'll give stuff to you for next to nothing.:pac::pac:

And God bless those Mammies who keep giving their sons' Games away to Charity shops.:pac::pac::pac:

Just got myself a brand new PS one in the box unopened for €4.99 with a game.

o1s1n

Got Loaded for the ps1.

1.25! Ebay.ie really is great for cheap ps1 stuff.

Jack burton

These just arrived in the post today, all complete and in great condition.

Kimbot

Greendog.... no way, I only ever got to play 10 minutes of that game and loved it!!

o1s1n

Ooooh Maximum Carnage. That usually costs a bit. I hope you didn't pay too much?

Whole lot for about 35 including shipping so it wasnt too bad

Yeah I pulled out my old vhs promo video and saw greendog and just had to get it.

haha watching that video again whoever was playing the games was really bad, I must get a new copy of that if i can find it

o1s1n

Nice, the chepaest buy it now on ebay at the moment is 25 pounds. With an added 5 pounds for postage. That and Toejam & Earl are worth more than what you paid for the whole lot.

Now, your next task is to find out which revision of the Revenge of Shinobi you got

Jack burton

I was already playing it, didnt get far before I had to go though, i think it might be 1.1, the spiderman TM shows up and the copyright date is 1989 1991 so its not 1.00 anyway

o1s1n

I think 1.01 is the earliest PAL version that exists. Have never heard of a 1.00 copy turning up.

Although, who knows.....most people probably couldn't even get passed the waterfall level now to check!

Joe Musashi

I got a few more MD games, not exactly a surprise eh? :P

The Japanese copy of Moonwalker arrived and I got Earthworm Jim 1 and 2 today. Jimmy 1 doesn't have a booklet but I'll pick one up somewhere.

Tosser never got back to me about the power lead. They did however find the time to leave 11 feedback messages to others today. :rolleyes:

It makes me wonder if there is something else up with the console. It seems to make a lot of noise and makes a few strange noises when reading discs. Although, from what I've read the Dreamcast is supposed to be quiet noisy apparently.

Also, I was playing one game and the console seemed to reset itself. I've tried it a few times sincee and that hasn't happened again. Strange.
Maybe I touched something on the console without knowing and that set it off butI really don't think so.

It might be the Dreamcast random reset problem.

If so take a look here for easy fix:

The DC is noisy but not too bad.

I got... *miniature fanfare*

Pokémon stadium in the "new retro shop" which is now half clothes shop aswell =/ It appears to have magically fixed itself since last time.

I bought Gran Turismo for the PS1 for €4.

I'm really happy as it was a racing game I always wanted when I was younger.

weeder

been in ps2 mode lately, bought a network adaptor and a dvd remote coming to 30 euro altogether, bought a usb to ide adaptor last night for ummm "backups" aswell as 2 of these

http://cgi.ebay.ie/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200436442779&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

the software included is meant to be horribly bad at doing anything but it was the cheapest non chinese component cables.


also no sign of that sp charger after a month so decided to send him a mail only to see hes no longer registered, claim made with paypal so.

Joe Musashi

The Dreamcast scart cable came today and I got that copy of Shadow Dancer too.
