Good news Everyone!
Got a 'listed as non working' VCS from adverts fairly cheap.

It was in decent nick otherwise .One opening and RF cable replacement later its working perfectly!
Bad news everyone
In the process of testing it discovered my old VCS is actually dead
so breaking even I guess..;)

Ive an Atari of that model at home myself, but no power supply for it. any ideas where i can get one and what type i need ?

Retr0gamer

It's a generic power supply, can get them in most electronic stores. I don't know off hand which one it is but the guys here directed me to one before.

Cool, im always worried about getting the wrong one and blowing something on the consoles.

Dr Bob

Afaik the power supply from the newer 2600's will work as well
that's actually the one I used in the vid(although maybe this is why my other VCS has stopped working!:))

Oooh just realized something great about this supergun.

For ages I've wanted a decent arcade stick to use with Megadrive Shmups. Just haven't been able to find one though. Modding seems to be the only way to go.

This supergun takes Neo Geo arcade sticks. Which are fantastic.

I have a JAMMA Megadrive which has the controller ports wired to work with an arcade cab control panel.

So if I plug the JAMMA Megadrive into the supergun, I should be able to play Megadrive games on the tv with a Neo Geo stick.

AWESOME!

Do as you're told or I'll have you de-stranding shipping rope until your fingers bleed and have you fired out of a cannon in to the sun (or Balbriggan, I haven't decided yet).

I knew I'd seen him somewhere before.

Optimus Prime

Got these yesterday, only had the one game for the VB before so looking forward to trying these ones..

o1s1n

You got them on ebay.ie, didn't ya? I knew when I saw them listed someone here would grab em Weird to see VB games for sale in Ireland.

Meant to post links actually but I forgot! Probably for the best, hope you got a bargain.

Teleboxer was listed too. Did you already have that one?

Optimus Prime

No i feckin wasnt logged in when i hit the bid button on that one!! amateur mistake, i missed it because I left bidding to the last few seconds. .. delivery was a bit much on them, originally he was looking for 16 quid!! in the end he was grand and i ended up paying around 8 or something delivery, still got them for cheap enough though in the end.

They where the ones on irish ebay though yeh..

o1s1n

Well he's relisted Teleboxer, so you have a second chance on that one

Glad you got them anyway! Didn't know you had a VB? Or is this one of these cases of buying the games before the console?

Didn't bid on it myself as it would have meant needing to buy a VB. No space for one!

Optimus Prime

yeh i have one, i didnt buy it though, i actually traded a guy on here a NES for it!! about a year ago he posted it in our trade forum here, probably the same lad selling the games, nice guy.

Just ordered an 8MB Memory Card for the PS2 with Free McBoot 1.8 pre-installed for €17 delivered.

It's a great deal when you consider the crappier solutions like SwapMagic go for the twice the price,
and it will save me from having to buy an exploitable game,
open up the case of the PS2 and risk breaking the drive when I horse out the game, and slam in the dvd-r,
just to install it on a memory card!

Got a second controller for my G-Net devoted Supergun.
Happy days,


Worked out at 30 with postage included, probably take a couple of weeks to get here but don't mind.
