Big difference quality wise. I've got 2 of the gwscarts and they are top notch. I was a big fan of the banbridge ones up until i tried the high end gwscarts.

I'm a fussy fecker when it comes to video/signal quality, the gwscarts are overpriced but do a fantastic job.
Now I'm not sure I'd go for the 16 port Hydra above, but its not as simple as just the number of sockets you can get.

I'd be reading a lot about the beers but it's well far away from me. That batman game is hardly batman forever is it? I got that for Christmas and tried to play it until I liked it. Twas futile to say the least

It's the Gamecube one isn't it? I'm too traumatized to remember someone will correct me lol.
Yeah it's far for me too I've to stay overnight. Maybe if we organize a trip to Token eventually, you could come up for the day.

I'd be inclined to pick the new one up if the price was right. I used be very fond of the second one for some reason. Probably because I only got to play it in my buddies gaff growing up.

It'll probably be at the beers, I'd take I'd take that awful Batman game instead :pac:
I played the first one and thought I was awful at games not that it was a bad game lol.
It could be good, it can't be as bad as the rest sure.

Steve X2 opening a 3DO....

Soon I'll be able to look inside without opening them up. I'm working on a smoke coloured transparent window to replace the top section(the bit that pops out of the top section to be precise).

Nice one ty, will order one and see what happens.

Just open up the console and have a look. It's one of the easier machines to disassemble.

Here's what it looks like with the top case and drive removed. Ignore the yellow wires as that's just my RGB mod, you won't have that.

Most likely the drive eject belt has just stretched or rotted away over time.

All I know is tray loaders are notorious for failing. Maybe get a replacement drive. I got a CDi equivalent from Hong Kong.

Anyone have any experience with 3do problems, Have an FZ-1 here that won't eject when the button is pressed. A link to a solution or guide would be appreciated thanks.

Don't think any model 3DO supports Scart. The CDi does which automatically makes it the superior console.

You're a funny guy Retr0, it's why I'm going to kill you last...

Where's Retr0?

In the market for a CRT, can anyone recommend one that does not have too high of an annoying high pitched ring to it.

Thats the 15khz buzz from the flyback transformer. You are not going mad, you just have good hearing. Its caused by small metallic/magnetic objects (Screw, washers, cans, beads, wires etc.) reacting and vibrating in sync with the 15khz flyback magnetic flux.

Some crt's are worse than others. You can tighten all the screws and apply some hot snot to parts you think may be causing the buzz. Works sometimes. Otherwise it will be a case of plugging in and listening before purchase! But even then, transporting to a new location can work something loose and cause the buzz to become worse.

Token was great fun last night - hopefully the cabinets stay in lovely condition and uptime is consistent!
