Better get them in alphabetical order!

We will definitely need updates on those shelves as games are added, I love seeing shelves absolutely stacked with games.

Do you think you'd ever get any mini boxes for the Nintendo games? Probably gets costly.

Haha yeah I'm absolutely itching to alphabetise them! Get an insane amount of satisfaction out of putting things in order on shelves, it's a sickness. Have a rake of books on the bottom shelf that need to be ordered by author too.

I hadn't heard of those mini boxes at all until now, they look great!

Shame they're so pricey, I think I've about 100 Snes carts and maybe 40-50 N64 ones so it would be one expensive venture.

I have a handful of SNES protector boxes you are welcome to if you have any boxes you are looking to keep minty

You're very good, thanks! I'll have a look and see how I get on with the boxed Snes stuff comes down :)

Got one my most wanted MSX2 recently. Philips VG8250 . Working, just need some cosmetic TLC as the from panel is actually cracked in 3 main pieces ... and a few more :)

Main floppy drive is working and it's got a gotek as a second drive . Scart connector and 2 cart ports on the side

It's a great MSX2, rare and can be pricey bu it's one of the easiest to upgrade to a MSX2+ (and 60hz) as you just need to swap the VDP and ground a few pins . I've already a matching VS0080 monitor for it too so this'll become my main MSX2 rig

PSU for Saturn, Raphnet USB to Nintendo Classic/Nunchuck controller and a USB Modem for my Dreamcast to dial into.

Exciting times.

Got this from my friend who works in the dump.

Dirty but works 100%.

holy mother of baguettes!!!

Or at least of of those folks who works on the electronics 'WEEE' bench - wonder how many PVMs or good trinis they might see

I've been there and watched as very nice CRTs are dropped, unceremoniously, into the cage of the dead...

Bring a tear to a glass eye it would

I've been away on holiday for a couple of weeks so only got home today to actually give the RGB Famicom a go - it's bloody gorgeous!

o1s1n

Climbed up into the attic to get some more games down for my shelves and found a Neo Geo Pocket collection I haven't seen in almost ten years - some great titles in there!

Mr.Saturn

It is literally the most beautiful console that has ever existed.

NGPC or the Famicom top loader?

I reckon the NGPC clamshells are the nicest clamshells ever made. They just feel like absolute quality. Must have really added quite a bit to the manufacture costs.

CiDeRmAn

Aren't those clamshells worth a few bob to collectors, seeing as they are mini versions of the AES cases?

NGP PAL games have gotten ridiculously expensive since I bought them years back. I was going to try for a full PAL collection they were that affordable. Couldn't dream of doing that these days.

NGPC, Jesus, it's not even a competition.

Hah! Funny how subjective design is, I really did think you were talking about the top loader as it's a completely marmite console.

NGP clamshells are lovely and so is it's stick, but I always thought of the design itself as a bit generic and erring a bit too much on the side of caution.

Colonel Panic

I love the toploader NES and AV Famicom personally!

I decided to take a chance on a SCART switch from Antonio Villena.

Looks neat, but the arrangement of inputs isn't exactly the most practical thing ever when everything's plugged into it - And I looks a bit like a swastika.

o1s1n

Swastika scart! I've heard it all now haha

Keep an eye out for AV media centre type things from the mid 2000s. There was a time where you'd get some that had 3-4 scart inputs on them.

Things like the Thor AV control Centre and the Silverscreen Trilogy. I don't think too many folks think of using them for videogame consoles.

Here's a JVC unit with 4 scart inputs for example.

And here it is even cheaper for 25 gbp

I never even thought of them!!

Must keep an eye out

I had a friend who's dad worked in the dump, got a good few freebies out of it.

Got a 60GB Phat backwards compatible PS3, worked fine except the blu ray drive was dead, but he also had a 40GB Phat PS3 that had YLOD. I took the blu ray drive out of the 40GB model and put it in the 60GB, boom, working PS3.

I also got a launch model 20GB XBox 360 (the one that didn't have HDMI), the hard drive was dead but the X-Box itself worked fine for nearly 2 years before finally getting RROD. Got the Xbox in 2009 and the PS3 in 2012, when both machines were still relevant.

Got a silver phat PS2 that played CD's and Pone games fine but the DVD drive didnt work at all, so I soft modded it with Free McBoot and now it runs Ps2 games off the hard drive perfectly.

Loads of PC graphics cards. I have a Geforce 3, a Geforce 5700 and a Radeon x850 that are all working and were just thrown out because they were old.

Got lots of other random things to like 3 working Dreamcast controllers, amazing what some people throw out.

Joytech is another good term to search, they did 4 and 5 scart switchers around the Xbox 360 era. Actually have one myself and the build quality is brilliant.

CiDeRmAn

Here's one on Adverts, though it is a 7 month old ad!

Not sure of the model either...

Been a long, long, LONG time seen I seen a CPC through the Amstrad green screen monitor....i knew I needed to have one, so now I do!

Also picked up a non working mega cd, hope to restore that as soon just need to wait on some psus I've ordered. Its actually in amazing cosmetic condition anyway...

Colonel Panic

Jumping on the FunnyPlaying screen for GBC bandwagon, my GBC arrived today.

Steve X2

This arrived earlier. So far I think its a nice little thing, even if it will just end up on the shelf after today(I'll prob design a 3D printable stand for it).

Mouse is ok, would rather a full size tank mouse. Joystick is usable, but the d-pad is a bit crap(can other usb pads anyway). The A500 mini itself is well made and I'd kill to have a working keyboard on this(apparently there is a mod in the works from someone). Interface and gameplay works very well, similar to all the other mini's out there.

The free mini floppy USB stick was a nice surprise inclusion.

Jack burton

After running across one of these and I'll hopefully pick it up next week.

I think the sound is gone but shouldn't be too hard to fix it out.

Im trying to get rid of some stuff and more keeps popping up for me to get
