Good god that step down must have its own postcode :pac::pac:

If you're in the North County Dublin area and regularly notice your lights dimming and the TV flickering around 7-10pm on the weekend or odd weekday night that's me plugging in a console.

...either that or Brian Cowen just sat down for his dinner.

Cheers for the game ID, much appreciated. Agreed, they're probably text heavy RPG's but ho-hum, they'll do as fillers to test. I've actually not done much Wonderswan research yet. All I really want is Judgement Silversword!

€100 is the cheapest I've seen JSS in about 2 years so you'll have to save some dollar first.

There's also this little shmuppy Run=Dim return to earth. This can be gotten cheap enough but doesn't turn up too often.

im curious why would people use an step-down conv if an psu on the console is external.

You'd be suprised how many people don't realize you can just swap out the PSU. It doesn't seem to be common knowledge.

Is yours a Doujindance RGB'd console with mods?

T'is indeed.

I've said it in other posts I've made and stand by my words, invest very wisely in a step down. Buy the best you can afford, saves you crying over a melted machine later and your investment dribbling away over your living room floor and down the toilet.

Aye, I've read about cheap and crap step downs, hence why I'm asking.

Cheers to everyone for the replies.

Got all this stuff today, MegaCd needs a clean but works 100%. even got a bonus copy of Gameboy bob the builder in the bag for some reason. Win!

I need to stop buying Nes' though, i only bought this because the box was in great condition!

I used step downs for years (still do for my internal PSU systems), but most other stuff I've just bought an EU PSU. If you're worried about frying your system via a step down then this is by far the safest option.

I still think the oddest one is that the Super Famicom works with an EU Megadrive 1 power supply. It looks so wrong.

€3 offered for the NES

And a bag of Skips.

....and a bottle of Cidona.

The Mega CD 1 is still as sexy as it was the day it was released. Of all console add ons ever made, I've never seen one enhance the look of a console so much.

Looks to be in lovely condition keithgeo, you lucky ****er! NES box is insanely nice too.

Possibly. But keithgeo has gotten himself a copy of Gradius CIB. That's truly glorious. Good work Mr. Geo.

The box is a bit battered but feck it. NES works, flashing on and off, new 72pin and region free and it will be grand.

Very nice, where did you pick up that collection of 8-bit goodness if you don't mind me asking?

Optimus Prime · 31-08-2011 10:34PM

3 of the games off ebay and the rest and nes off adverts. got the mega cd off adverts too.

€3 for a NES, a bag of a skips and bottle cidona might be a little optimistic.

That NES boxart is awesome, why don't we get anything like that anymore? the World Wrestling one makes me feel funny though.

I couldn't get any picture out of it. I was able to tune in a black screen from it but that was it.
No games would load and I had a few from different sources. You might be luckier

I was surprised that they stuck it back on the shelf the day after I returned it. I was going to say something but I've sort of given up on the RAGE so I just drop in from time to time and pick up something if it catches my eye. When i see things at mad prices I just ignore it, they're not going to change.

Resident Evil (Gamecube), which was a random present from someone who found it in a charity shop. I also got my hands on King of Fighters XI (PS2), which I'm enjoying, no surprises there, really.

Two incredible games. REmake is still stunning to look at after, what, nearly a decade now? Plays very well too. Has to be the second best Resi ever after 4.

KoF XI is the best King of Fighters games ever made in my opinion. Its beautiful to look at with loads of lovely backgrounds, a great line-up of characters, loads of moves and a very deep gameplay system. Dream cancelling successfully is extremely satisfying. The controls are also great. The only drawback in the terrible final boss who does stuff that just doesn't sit well in a fighter. Cheap as chips he is!

I used to charge SNK with that a lot. I find a masochistic desire takes over, one that has you anticipative as to how broken the Big Bad manages to be.
Mind you, I've never had to feed coins into an MVS.
