knackered RF modulator?
I know this is going to sound daft , but is the ampage on the universal psu high enough?
Seemingly speccy PSU is :
* Input: 240V AC, 50Hz
* Output: 9V DC, 1.4A
* Centre Polarity: -ve (inner diameter is 2.5mm)
I'd a problem with an amstrad earlier in the year where it'd power on but knackered video , basically the PSU's voltage and polarity were right but not the ampage , it just needed more power!
if you're stuck I've a proper 48k PSU I can lend you to test (I've only the one so I need it back!)

I got an Atari Jaguar UK PSU with the Famicom and that's 9v @ 1.2A so I gave it a go on the Spectrum and it now loads up fine and tunes in perfectly (or as perfect as you get with rf).
So you were right about the PSU i was using been to weak. Must remember that in future.

Just got a mint bixed copy of ghoul patrol for Snes all the way from Germany. Postage only €5.50 and it was very well packaged, how is it some sellers try to come on with €20 post.

never even heard of either of this games til I saw them on adverts, but what the hell

The reason I bought that ST-V mobo recently for arrived today !

o1s1n

You lucky man! Was that from ebay? (Drkittykr?)

I saw one there the other week just before I went off on my holidays, would loved to have bid on it.

Casey120

Yes , only one other bidder was interested so I sniped it in the last 10 seconds .
Soon my Shieryu cart will be shipped from Japan .

CiDeRmAn

How much did that beauty cost you?
Terra Diver is excellent, would love a ST-V copy.

Casey120

Just under € 100,00 shipping included which is a bit more than the Shienryu cart , that one was a little over € 60,00 with original art on YHJ .
All I need is Guardian Force now and I have what I want to play on ST-V .

That is a great GET! Have you popped the case open to check all is as it should be? It's usually Cotton Boomerang that gets booted anyway but just to be sure.

I bought my Mazinger Z PCB from the same guy and it was flawless (in fact I only just removed it from my Astro and replaced it with 'you know what'). You'll be grand.

Ephemereal Fantasia is pish.

Ys Ark of Naphtism is a poor port of a superb game. Gameplay isn't ruined at so still well worth playing.

Yes , the first thing I did was open it up .
My Cotton is a flash rom bootleg but I got that one free with the mobo .

• Doesn't come on multiple discs
• No jarringly inconsistent art styles
• No CD quality but mediocre and numbingly repetitive soundtrack
• No bloated, nonsensical and ludicrously forgetable plot
• No highly vocal obnoxious and utterly fanatical fanboys praising it as the greatest game of all time.

I dunno if this is what I'm looking for in a Japanese RPG, it actually looks like it could be enjoyable. I mean, look at the manual, the guy's hair is barely even spiky.


Would you not better off spending your money on buying a second and third copy of a game (for no explicable reason whatsoever) and acting like a boor on the internet? Apparently all the cool kids are doing that now.








:pac:

Don't really get your post a5y, maybe I'm just tired

My "? Block" arrived today from Club Nintendo.




I've positioned it so I can punch it like a nerd when required.



Also got some other retro bits but as they're to sell on via Gadunky (at non rip-off prices I may add, I think)I wont be posting them here as it just seems wrong.

Its a bit TL;DR but its just comparing your taste favourably to some ridiculous people's taste. Certain Legend of Dragoon fans and Final Fantasy fans have a history of saying plain silly things.

Maybe I'm just tiresome! :P

Hank Scorpio

Fair enough, I don't know much about other peoples tastes here or other consoles, I just collect snes games :pac:

Here's a vid some depressed and empty husk of a human sounding guy did of his one.

57 seconds in for the sounds.

Just picked up Pokemon conquest. Although not a massive fan of the spin off games, I figured it's worth a shot. Probably won't get around to it until I finish white 2 though.

But if someone breaks in I can beat them over the head with the superscope.
