My first two Tomy Tronics 3d arrived yesterday, Sky Attack and Planet Xeon both in great condition. Sad as i am i also bought the box\instructions\whitesnow(dont know what that stuff is called) thing and strap for Sky attack for a 5 fiver in a seperate auction and that arrived too!
EnterNow: I also ended up buying the lot of the 4 TomyTronics 3d
The only problem is 4 days later i have had no reply from the seller on shipping costs. I think they are a bit p*ssed the bidding wasnt as high as they thought it was going to be and are going to try get away with not sending it! I read on ebay that if i dont pay after 4 days they can file a complaint but i have mailed them multiple times asking them to send the final amount with shipping costs.
Before the auction i asked them how much to ship to Ireland and they said 40-50 but they wont know until they package it up, and thats up there on the auction page. Really hoping they get in contact and it doesnt become an issue.
Their biggest mistake i think was not putting "3D" in the title of the auction so people searching for TomyTronics 3D didnt see it! Because ive seen a few of them on there and usually one will go for about $30, I got all 4 of these for $60 not including delivery! I was the only bidder!0 -

Got my AVP board hooked it all up and it plays perfect.
I noticed something odd though - it looked like the label was stuck over another one. Not good. You can see it in these pics. The underneath one is a white line down the side-
So I scrambled to look for a screwdriver bit to open it up. At this point I was convinced it was a bootleg as Enternow pointed out, it's one of the most pirated CPS2 games.
Get it open and then I find this -
Real labeled chips?! I confused!
It would make sense if it was a relabeled region variant, but the case is JAP, the roms say JAP...the label is JAP..so why has the case got a label under the AVP one? Could it be possible that Capcom reused an old case? Wouldn't they have taken the other label off though? ah, so many questions!
Enternow! I chose you!
(by chose you I mean please look at my photos and put my mind at ease by saying it's not a bootleg :pac:)0 -
While I'm spamming the place with photos...
Posters! Yay. The gloss finish on these is really really lovely. You can't really see it properly in the photos due to the bad lighting in the room.
I just stuck them on the door for the moment to get an impression of the overall quality of the lot. And so you could all get an idea how big each one is. These are the smallest poster size. (I think a3?)
I'm Very happy with these. with the promo code it came to something like €18.50 for the lot, posted.
I think my favourite is probably Kakariko Village.

The board also looks to have the CPS2 battery still connected, it's certainly there, but verify it's actually physically connected to the board ok.
I had a quick look while it was open and it's soldered in. At least I think it was? Hopefully one of the many pics I took shows some contact with the board when I zoom in. I'll have a look when I get home. I'm pretty sure it was though as I looked at it and though 'nice clean soldering'The outside of the pcb case is another matter. It could be just that way the light is in the pics, but in both photos the label looks as if it were glued down with something transparent, and has actually spilled a little on the casing itself.
That's what it looked like to me, there was a tiny bit of a shine down in the corner that caught my eye.3) This one you won't like. The game was originally another game, & a donor AVP sticker covers the original sticker. The official Capcom roms were overwritten with AVP roms. The battery was removed in order for the board to loose the decryption algorythm, so the overwritten roms could then boot. The battery was then reconnected, but now serves no purpose. (Highly unlikely).
If that were the case, wouldn't the Capcom rom window stickers say something other than AVPJ? (Alien Versus Predator Jap) I know stickers and things can be faked, but they do look pretty official.
Something else I meant to ask you about the rom chips, any idea why there isn't there a rom numbered 2?Number one is the most probable, but if your contacting Razoola about having the board phoenixed, ask him to verify the rom dumps against known good ones to alleviate your suspicions about a bootleg. All in all, I'd say the board is 99% legit. It's just a sticker issue from the looks of it.
Will do! Cheers for the help dude..yet again you are a fountain of knowledge.

Re the eeprom stickers, the fact that they look so good is why I'd be fairly certain it's fully legit man. To my knowledge, you can't exactly buy reams of them stickers (although pdbhp may correct me on that). Worst case is that they are donor stickers, but we're getting into X-Files territitory here :rolleyes:
From the pics, I'd more or less convinced the innards are legit. The outer casing has a story to tell though....0 -

Exactly. If they were doner stickers they'd have to have come from an original board...why would someone take stickers off an original board? Plust they look like they were put on in a factory and never removed. At this point we're down to the 'why bother' stage too. Maybe if the game was worth a grand..but it's nowhere near that in value.The outer casing has a story to tell though....
I may just fire an email off to the seller to ask if he knows. Not knowing is bothering me
As for phoenixing, is it just a matter of removing all those numbered AVPJ ROMs and sending them off to Raz? Do they just pop out of their sockets yeah?0 -
RAGE reopened recently so I thought I'd pop in
nabbed VR as I used to play it a fair bit on my mates meg and its such a huuuge cart (because of the DSP..I mean SVP chip), also PGA II used to get played a lot in my friends house before we went down the pub.
(plus most of the sports games have been reduced to 2 quid , so thats a good incentive) 0 -

Yep, the four AVp roms. Label them 1-4 so you know what order they go back in, or if there's differences in the small print just write them down. Have you contacted Raz yet? He'll tell you how to package them etc.0 -
