    Now with the help of my new ps1 to JAMMA adapter linked to a supergun, I can finally play a ps1 on a tv!

    I also inadvertantly made the most overly complicated Megadrive pad to Playstation adapter :D

    Yes, I do realize the stupidity of the above..just had to test that adapter out. It had a crap load of dip switches and I have no clue as to what any of them to!

    Mistake? Why couldnt you just use the normal av cable for the ps1?

    oh right, so what do you plan to do with that adaptor in the long run?

    Would it be for use inside a cab or something?

    Sorry if these are stupid questions but Im intrigued

    See the red thing inside the bottom of a Megadrive shell? That's a supergun...in simple terms it turns your tv into an arcade machine.

    I don't have a cab here so to test out any arcade boards I have to try them in the supergun instead. If it works in that it'll work in a cab.

    The adapter itself is for a cab alright. I'll be able to put that modded ps1 in my cab (when it's fixed). Which will be very very cool :)

    Picked up something special this afternoon. Big thanks to Andrew76 for finding this for so cheap...and to Enternow for housing it for the last few weeks :pac: (Your Nomad was in it, wasn't it?!!?)

    If you think the Nomad is hard to come across, try finding one of these. Andrew76 for some odd reason seems to have a knack to it..I on the other hand have only seen a couple in many years.

    This is in absolutely amazing condition. Looks brand new. As I said to Andrew, I'd have been happy just getting my hands on one that had been mauled by a dog..this though is just insanely good. Couldn't be happier :)

    Fits like a glove! There are also two pouches, one for the battery pack and one for the charger.

    Nomadcase1.jpg

    So that's it, Nomad project - done! Again, big thanks to Andrew76 and Enternow.

    No point thanking me, all I did was let my Nomad live in it for a while :D Seriously though the thing is brand new, there's not a blemish on it.

    ..ended up buying this on a whim when someone posted an Irish sellers ebay search link (turned out this was a UK seller though).Looked up the reviews after I bought it though.
    seems it looks good , but completely broken in the difficulty stakes....just the why I like my RPGs ;)

    Stuff like that just instantly brings on the guilt doesn't it. Here we are spending fortunes on video games, then reality comes crashing home. Sorry to hear that Keith, hopefully she gets a new one soon enough & you can again purchase games with a clear conscience...damned real life :(:D

    Indeed, it's regarded as the first ever RTS. Totally overlooked in its time too.

    Puts it in perspective alright! :(

    The good thing about collecting this stuff as a hobby is it can be an expensive or cheap as you want. I probably got my hands on just as much stuff volume wise back when I was a broke jobless student bum as I do now.

    Anyway, all the best to you keithgeo, fingers crossed the other half finds her feet again sometime soon.

    I Have to laugh (not about KG's missus job status , hopefully she gets one again soon), I have to laugh as I managed to buy the wrong bloody game today.Had a copy of EA double header (the maddens/hockey one)in RAGE today, nipped out to get change when I realised I'd only a 50.Came back and hurriedly tried to find it again as I was late back to work after lunch.Nabbed it and bought it , legged it out and was back in work before I realised I'd just bought a copy of EA Hockey by mistake...doh!
    I'd even feckin haggled wit the poor fella behind the counter as it had both a 1.95 and 2.95 sticker! Ah well , I think my unboxed copy of starflight will be finding a new home shortly...;)

    Oh yeah , by the way they have an atari jaguar hooked up there now!
    :)

    Did my usual trip to Balbriggan market this morning, nothing much tbh, a 2600 Jr without cables, an n64 controller, a couple of PS2s and an Xbox. Then I got a pretty good deal, I got a perfect psone, with psu and controller for 4 euro! And that It also had the GT half of GT2 in the drive was nice too, and It all works perfect.



    Sorry, did I not mention that it came with the official screen as well, and it all works fine!

    Happy days!

    Well, Kerbdog owes me a psone after killing it when trying to chip it for me. If that replacement comes through I'll sell this one, if not I'll keep it.
    Thing about the market is that if they didn't have this psone then they would have had feck all.
    But over the last while I have been quite lucky, Asian MD, psone, cod:waw for the 360, MD games, tons of cool stuff..

    Seeing as I'll be the one doing the mod on the replacement, bear in mind I'm on a slight lookout for one of those screens :) Did you give that Asian MD to the Kerb as a matter of interest, or are you not gonna have her mcmodifieded?
