Got the following magazine collections in the post today (from an ebay shop), all magazines in PDF format:
Grand total of just under £10 posted for the lot; C&VG is a double CD affair.
Just bought this as it has the handful of gamea my father wants to play. Yet it does not want to work on my nes, my other carts work 1st time, do I need to lift the pin on lockout chip.
Turns out just needed to press reset 3times and it works.
That's a Spanish flea market on holidays nostalgia special.
Except it would be one good game and a pile of shite.
Got one of these for a project - note if you buy from AliExpress and they state they are taking EU VAT (bill you, have an invoice etc), that doesn't guarantee the actual seller will have the knowledge to ensure the paperwork will be with the package 😑
Will the project ever work? No idea but I've already fixed 4 PCB traces on it so far. Good news is that I can erase EPROMs and my programmer is back working! Small yay
I've seen talk before of unusual power draw* that could potentially cause damage the Aes have you noticed anything ?it all seemed a bit light on explaination now this was a good few years ago so we might understand this black magic thing call power a bit more now !
Turned up this morning; complete in box (minus whatever internal cardboard/styrofoam packaging there may have been). Not bad for £47 (including courier delivery). Will check it it's working later when I get home from work. Always wanted to try Terminator 2: the arcade game with a light gun ..
