New Get City, post here when you get something new

Personally just I much rather PAL artwork and game packaging presentation. I find it to be a lovely inbetween point with the originality of the Japanese artwork and the brashness of the US stuff.

I know in the end it's the games that matter, but most of the gear I collect can be switched between 50/60hz on consoles - so that's all fine

Plus there's not a chance in hell I'd have a collection of Sega 'Genesis' games :pac: they really lost the plot around that era in the US with their design, it's horrendous. Especially the later Genesis red branding and the Mega CD/32x stuff (yellow? seriously?!).

My main downfall is PS1. I've about 200 - 250 games and they're 99% PAL, no going back there :eek:

I've always disliked Genesis carts, they actually feel a lesser quality compared to the PAL ones. Megadrive all the way really. It's a plus that the Jap Megadrive stuff is very expensive, so there's no temptation at all to buy NTSC when it comes to that system

Jack burton

Japanese megadrive games really are the bee knees. Best artwork, 60HZ, full colour manuals. The price is pretty insane for the likes of true lies and comix zone and plenty of others. Luckily my MD collection is PAL but can benefit from a modded console.

My PS1 collection is the real shocking aswell. So many gems but all at 50Hz...and near a sign of running them at 60Hz and I dont know of any HDD ps1 console mod that can be done yet

The PSIO seems pretty sweet. I fit the control board into a PS1 for a user here a few months back, & it seemed to run a lot of stuff no problem (there was still some bugs relating to certain audio tracks in games iirc, but otherwise all good)

Jack burton

Hmm interesting...i must pick up one of them eventually

and here I was like a sucker thinking of spending all my money when I go to america in 2 weeks

Side note: I'll be in Las Vegas and Vancouver in 2 weeks, definitly going to go to gamedeals when im there, anyone wants me to keep an eye out for anything let me know

I discovered that was actually my fault when I got home. The name on the .cu2 file was slightly different than the disc image.

Hi I'm kinda new here but plan of hanging around..

I want to share some pics of some crusty cabs me and buddy got for free.

Sega Rally left and right cabs and silent scope.











Just dropped them to storage so didn't get a chance to power them on.

Right Sega had a Out of Order poster so the hope is to get one functional from the pair (one unit donates to the other)

Silent scope is very tidy inside so high hopes that she fires right up, if the gun is broken its lights out for that game and the cab might make a good base for a jamma cabinet.

Thoughts, tips or ideas anyone?

Cheers

Any chance you could make the pics a bit bigger? :pac:

You're not based in Cork by any chance?

A friend I know mentioned getting a Silent Scope cab a few months ago!

Sure am. Can't be a coincidence

Very cool ,
some big ass games.
Looking forward to seeing them fixed up.
Do you know the history of them?

eddhorse

Best of luck with them, give them a good check over before you power them up.

Ahhh whatever you do, don't do this! :pac:

The LCD might be gone on the gun but I had a quick look and there are two guys selling full working guns for it on eBay for not too mental prices.

A replacement LCD is also possible but a bit hard to find. Apparently it accepts rgb in which is a little uncommon for an LCD of that size.

Buy I definitely wouldn't be turning it into a standard Jamma cab. Would always just look like someone butchered a silent scope

Good luck anyway! I'd kill for a dedicated driver/shooter, you lucky fecker

The one time US box art is better and its Mexican.

After a long wait I finally got my Super Famicom art book, it's funny it arrived In the middle of a discussion about box art. I picked up some capsule toys and other bits from Steve Bailey.

Jack burton

Saw that super famicom book yesterday for around €36 delivered, is it worth it?

Will give it a blast of an airhose and make sure there are no kittens in it but what else would you recommend?

Will take this into another thread when we get going.

Large amusement arcade history, pulled when they became unprofitable (right Sega rally was OOO) then pushed to the back of a cold dry warehouse for 5+ years.

OK maybe will hold back with the meat cleavers but investing in it and keeping it specific to one dimension of shooters doesn't sound ideal. Maybe doing a 1/2 chop job and adding some time crisis guns would be a good compromise?

Id love to run Big Buck Hunter but is that something you can easily do on a jamma cab?

I do, there's a little description of each game followed by a piece about the cover. A few games in you have Assault Suits, then you think what the west had in comparison. I'm looking forward to going through it and finding out more about covers I recognised but knew little about, it seems well put together and the finish is nice.

Unplug any game board pcbs, use a multimeter to check voltages with the manual at hand.
Check power supplies/ transformer and monitor chassis voltages carefully before plugging in the PCB's.
Ed's 2 cents.

Thanks, Pennys.

I have spare guns, the wiring to the scope screen gives issues,also if they haven't been powered up the battery goes on the board think it gives an error 22

Don't really buy games magazines any more but had to get this once I spotted the cover. Didn't we first hear about it back in the PS2 days, or towards the end of them? Certainly feels that old anyway.
