Got the next batch of PS1 games down out of my attic, keeping an eye out for games I didn't think much of like this which are selling for a few bob:
Felt a bit heavy, opened it up... Silent Hill demo, among other things! haha absolutely no idea where this all came from.
160 glorious PAL 50HZ PS1 games screaming out to be alphabetised.
These are still mostly plebeian common games, not sure where to store the fancier stuff as of yet!

Haven't posted here in ages, lads. Nothing worthwhile bought (being tight for the wedding).
Decided to randomly ask an in-law if they had any "of those old box TVs" (if I said CRT she'd be looking at me with two heads), she said this had been sitting in her house for months unused. Was happy to hand it over to me.
Very adjustable - and was able to get into the service menu to tweak the horizontal/vertical positions. Sync-on-luma scart works well with it, and I can change the region as needed (which is good for me considering I have a lot of NTSC systems and games). Very neat CRT, probably the nicest one I've had now. And the picture is brilliant.

After waiting for months for it to be back in stock and 2 weeks after paying customs charges, I have a Raphnet PSX adapter for use with the MiSTer PlayStation core.
Also got an extra Dual Shock 2 on eBay.
Works really well!

One final mental grail get for me until I get a mortgage, pretty much have all my grail cabs now. Yep it's another project as again I couldn't afford a fully working one, I am a sucker for pain with these big motion cabs! I'm sure I'll get it fixed up and restored but focusing on finishing the AfterBurner first. I may just use the new Smartypi on it and the new motion drive board repro, but will hold judgement until I test it. Finally pretty much have the dream lineup of games for me personally after collecting for 4 or 5 years. Look forward to potentially hosting beers nights/ meetups down the line too if people are up for those with some cool cabs when I buy a place! The storage unit is now absolutely full to the brim at the minute (thankfully so I can't buy anything else lol).

Picked up a PC Engine Memory Base 128 from Adverts the other day. Been meaning to add one to the collection for years, but never got around to it. For €20 delivered I had to go for it 🙂
Not much going on inside really, apart from what looks like lots of old flux.

Got an 8bitdo NES retro receiver in the post today, connects up nicely with my fancy new RGB Famicom Top loader!
Paired it with a NES30 that I bought years and years ago when they first came out and haven't used at all really. So it's a wireless NES gaming experience that's literally years in the making!
Was playing MegaMan 2 wirelessly with it, no noticable lag at all.

No spins for Olly then when I get it up and running eventually! (probably in about 3 years time with my track record lol)
Cheers though, one would def fit well in your Outrun collection if I ever have to move it on down the line!

Been wanting to get a CRT for a while now to plug the MiSTer into and was finding the whole thing intimidating tbh. Don't even have the SCART cable for it yet but bought that and a triple daemonbite adapter (90euro just for those 2 things all in :( ) on the weekend. Along with some very yellowed original controllers (SNES/MD/PSX - another 50euro). MiSTer with original controllers + CRT is going to be my sweet spot I think/hope.
Thought I'd have no chance with the TV tbh. Nothing going outside of eBay UK sellers and was fairly sure I'd overpay for something I didn't even really want. Was on alert for 'Free TV' on Adverts and everything, grim times.
Then saw what for me looked absolutely perfect. Was texting about it since Sunday and thought he was giving me the runaround, pretty much given up on it until he clicked - turns out the only responses he'd gotten were scams so he was a bit cold at first. Went in tonight and he was sound out - old guy who knew vaguely they can be used for old computer games and didn't want to throw it out. Price was 65, I gave him 70 but he handed 20 back.
Carted it down from his 3rd floor appt on the stairs, buckled it up in the back seat, and drove back across the city at a steady 25k/h. Was buzzing all the way tbh haha, pure excitement.
Only thing I have atm I can plug into it is an old modded PAL Wii using composite to scart but I'm absolutely thrilled with it. And the sound - only tech I was ever really early to was flat screens and I'd genuinely forgotten what proper audio from tv speakers sounds like, nearly blew my ears off.
Pictures are muck with the indoor lighting making the colour look off but it looks stunning in person imo. Really is big though, put a Wii mote next to it for comparison. How can a 21" tv seem big lol.
Just need to redesign the house so I've somewhere to put it now.
(No idea why boards flips some photos...oh probably landscape/portrait 🙄)

(God I was excited last night..😬)
Yeah, it seems way better than I could have hoped for, thought I'd be buying multiple hold overs before finding a nice one. It has 2 SCARTs but only 1 has RGB so I'm guessing you never really use it?
Up to yesterday I thought PAL Tvs would be a minefield because you hear so much about 50hz etc but saw a post that (paraphrasing) said
"European Tvs aren't 50hz, euro Tvs are PAL and PAL is 50hz. If the Euro Tv has SCART that means it will play NTSC and it will play it however it's meant."
Is that really all there is to it? I thought they'd be clocked at 50hz internally tbh.
Daemonbite adapter arrived this morning as well. No controllers yet and cable went on backorder (apparently you need a special VGA to SCART for the MiSTer to step down voltage on one of the pins?). It's a neat little thing but can be DIY'd obviously if you have the skills.

The Laserdiscs I got on Adverts arrived this morning. No damage to them in transit, which is never guaranteed when sending 30-40KG of discs in a couple of boxes. I already have a couple of them on LaserDisc, but most are new to my collection.
45 movies in all for €150, plus €20 for next day pickup and delivery with Nightline/UPS.
Looks like I'll have a lot of testing/watching to do this weekend 🙂

Just was sent this first proto of TerribleFire's latest thing : The TFMSX.
A repro MSX2+ using original CPU, VDP and sound chip. Takes real carts, output to RGB and has joystick ports or USB for both joystick and keyboard. very very exciting little project
