Bought a gorgeous tricked out 1chip PAL SNES on adverts. All the bells and whistles. Even been fully recapped.
Grey as the day it was born.
Plugged it all in and then remembered that the fancy 50 euro scart cable I have for my Super Famicom won't work with it. Nooooo! Haha.
Had to order another one!

Thought new new RF cable arrived, opened the box:
Totally forgot I ordered this!
Next to the real one:
Even came with an SD preloaded with games: (Strip Fighter 2???)
Luckily everyone seems to have their clothes on so far
I in no way condone buying these instead of the real ones but it's a handy backup to have.
Hard to believe it was so cheap!

This guy landed yesterday, a bluetooth adapter for the Amiga A1200 (Think it'll also work on the A500?)
So far I've tried it out with an SFC30 8bitdo pad and it works brilliantly.
A cool feature is that it lets you scroll through all the different controller inputs with the start button on the pad.
Some games have different configurations for player 1, so if you boot a game and the controls don't work you just press start until it detects it.
Another cool feature is that it'll let you use your control pad as a mouse. (I don't have a bluetooth mouse for it as of yet so was using this to navigate, was a bit slow but it works)
All in all, very cool for 40 odd euro.
Link to it here if anyone's interested (I went untracked rather than tracked shipping, reduced the cost significantly)
Edit - just to note too, it's entirely plug and play and takes power through the Amiga controller ports. Some of the photos show it needing a USB cable to get power but it's not needed for an A1200 setup.

I picked up a PlayStation Net Yaroze kit a few years back but it was missing the serial cable/adapter and also the 'access card.' I since picked up the serial cable/adapter but was still on the hunt for the 'access card' since then…to only search on eBay and an item from delta-island.com popped up! They reverse engineered the card and recreated it :D yes, you can use a modded PS1 and a hacked Net Yaroze boot CD but whats the fun in that?! I also picked up their serial adapter to have some USB goodness.
I'm no programmer…but

Well here's something really boring but it's actually a first.
In the near quarter century I've owned an n64 (and I think I've had five or six of them), I've never had one of these;
Absolute bizarre realisation. Was trying to play Turok 2 the other day and couldn't save. Dawned on me that all these years id only been really playing first party games that all have saved batteries in them!
Good oul AliExpress, new memory cards for peanuts.

Couple gets from earlier in the week
Upgrade for the Retrotink, but will be doing well to check it out this side of Xmas with everything going on right now, so may as well go under the tree. Might hook it up to a HDMI input though to test that side out first, but a complete overhaul will take time.
Polymega is still a thing, just about anyway, with them bringing out a couple physical releases - Karate Champ there has about 8 or so related titles from the original arcade all the way up to Fighters History, same with the Asteroids collection up to the Lynx release.

My MVS NeoGeo 'Vortex' 161-in-1 cart arrived!
Hopefully will get time in the next week or so to adjust the screen, this cab and the other one need quite a bit of work

I've been on the lookout for a Raiden II arcade pop for a very long time. In fact I didn't even know 100% what they looked like as there aren't any pictures of them online. Random bits of Japanese cardboard to sit on arcade machines from the early 90s, not many seem to have survived.
These guys are a great Japanese shop for arcade art rarities, so I have been keeping an eye for a while. (with not much luck!)
Got an alert today to finally say they had one, not only Raiden II but Raiden DX as well!
Absolute Sophie's choice situation as I couldn't justify buying both (94 euro for Raiden II and 125 euro for DX).
Went with Raiden II in the end as I actually have the PCB and it's one of my favourite games.
They do still have the DX pop available if anyone is interested in rare expensive Japanese cardboard.

Theres a lad on eBay Ireland selling official Metroid 3DS XL soft cases for a fiver. Bought one, lovely and snug.
Then I realised my Analogue Pocket fits
Which led me to buying four more
I may have a problem haha!

I've been on the lookout for a working VCR for ages. Finally managed to nab one! A Daewoo from 2004. So its 20 years younger than my last one. Works 100% perfectly and is really minty. In fact the design of the yolk almost looks contemporary.
Originally it was to digitize some home movies but I've gone down a bit of a VHS buying rabbit hole...
Fairly sure this is some of the only Gamesmaster material officially released.
Hilariously, when I stuck it on, it was at the nudy bits!
Edit - just to say, this is also another really cool way the Retrotink 5x can be used. It scales the composite video signal really well and with the OLED panel it pretty much looks like watching VHS on a CRT
The plan is to send the signal out of the 5X via HDMI to a capture card and start recording.

I've been down a VHS rabbit hole for a while now.
There was a huge charity shop in Waterford that used to sell electrical goods. I got 5-7 CRTs, 10+ VHS from there before it closed a few years ago. I still get the odd VHS when it comes up on marketplace locally etc but don't actively seek them out on eBay etc
Have a lovely Sony hooked up to my 2 big crts with the Hydra2.
