    Can you play all the games on your iPad with the iCade or only ones that come made for it?

    Only the ones that have been updated to work with it. But if you have a jailbroken iPad(like I do) you can use the iCade with iMAME4All :D

    Plus, more games on the app store are starting to support it. It makes sense for some games and no sense at all for others. I'm happy enough with iMAME4all to be honest.

    The iCADE is basically just a fancy bluetooth controller for the iPad.

    BUgger!
    Just saw this link!
    Arse biscuits!

    Is there any point in sending a message to the seller?
    Hoping he'll sell to me for the 35?

    Yep, I'd say he will. I bought two other Shmups from him for around the same price. He seems like a decent chap.

    Nice work with those, especially Einhander. I have the NTSC-J version and love it. Probotector is an awesome game too, nice work. :)

    Nothing new in terms of games for me today but my wife just gave me a nice, new, SP-OCD, CIB iPhone 4 as a gift! Takes my Apple haul up to an iPod Classic, iPad, Apple TV 2 and now an iPhone 4. :cool:

    Anyone know where to get those Shure iPhone headset/mic yolks?

    johnny_ultimate - Megadrive cart labels are suprisingly strong. I had a sticker like that on my Streets of Rage 3 and was able to remove it with just water. I pretty much just kept making the sticker damp until it came apart and rolled off in bits.

    Nice find anyway! I was in there this afternoon and they seem to have caught on with prices. Any of the fancier games were priced spot on according to ebay.

    I think the great Johnny Ultimate/Musha robbery of 2011 really got to them.

    The crap on the label of the cart may come off but the persistent rotting stench of the old-hat gameplay remains!

    You can also stick on whatever ball top you like if you have a few lying around :D

    Or with an adapter you can go American style:

    All in all a very excellent addition to my man cave.

    Hmm, I can see a healthy business in preowned, jailbroken Ipads in years to come.
    I take it that's the only way to get MAME onto the device?

    It sure looks like its got a purdy mouth there boy!

    Yeah, you need to jailbreak to get MAME and all the other emu's.

    Remember, remember, the third of May.

    (disclaimer: I had to search to find that date. I'm not that lame. Pretty lame, granted, but not that bad).

    The Hyper NeoGeo arrived in work this morning in a huge box with "HYPER NEOGEO 64" written on it(no way of passing this off as a work item :D).

    The eBay seller sent me the 3 games he listed on the auction. But instead of sending me the used version of the games he sent me 2 new games and only one used. Happy days :D
    He sent me a message the other day to say he was sending me 2 boxed games instead of loose as advertised but didn't mention they were new.

    So a brand new sealed Hyper 64 and 2 new games, and the used game as well. Not bad for £22 sterling. Would have been even better if the shipping wasn't £33, but still a decent deal.

    So I now have 3 of the 4 games that will work with this board, might as well look out for the 4th on eBay to complete the Hyper NeoGeo fighting collection.

    Will stick up a few pics later.

    Good day today, got my lovely crystal Xbox controller, the large version, to match my crystal Xbox.
    Also finally received my Ocarina of Time soundtrack from Nintendo!
    They sent it to me within a calender year of my order, that's super speedy for nintendo!

    Nice!

    Although I can't say the same for the massive 3d games sticker on the front. Hope it comes off easily!

    Had been eyeing that Gradius Advance for a while, but just couldn't bring myself to buy the tattered box :pac: Better than nothing for a GBA game though!

    On that subject, wandering through 3D games is a heartbreaking experience. There's loads of games and curios I'd like to buy - the Shin Megami Tensei PS2 games, for example - but the price is just too high. And it's a shame, because I know the owners are probably struggling to make ends meet in a high cost location, especially with a game specialising in slightly rarer and more offbeat fare. But a rip-off is a rip-off, no matter how honourable the intentions.

    NICE! Any other SHMUP's in there? €11.99 is actually a bargain price so long as it's CIB.

    Just game and manual, the inner box is gone! Gradius is one of my all time favorite games.

    Still a bargain. By some cheapo 99c game and rob the inner tray out of that. :)

    You should march in there and tell them!
    They'd love it!
    Possibly be the best thing you could do!
    Of course, they may then charge you more.....

    Might take a wander there tomorrow, see what the story is with any video games of a specific niche genre they may or may not have in stock. :)
