I've attached an image of one of the least offensive pages.

And here's a track I did in 2001/2002(can't remember the program I used to make it but it was probably something nasty).

The internet, she never forgets

Nope, this

It averages about €50, but if the only way to play it is via a fan translation, i'm not gonna bother adding it to the collection

Ok for all you out there with the wherwithall to help me.

Gameboy Micro, start & select not working. They still ight up red when the battery is low but don't light up blue when charging.
Took her apart (great idea) the insides were horrible, the main board was coroded but everything still works lovely.

Now the small board that comes from the main board to the start/select buttons has a few small nicks in the important parts of it, this I presume is the issue but I may be wrong.

Couldn't find anything about it on the nets does anyone have any ideas?

Can you could take a few pics(as clear as possible) of the board and other parts?

No camera sorry.

Gonna try repair the small board, think I can rectify it.

In this pic (off the nets) you can see a small board at t he bottom connected via a ribbon cable. this is the offending component. I wonder if I could change it?

pdbhp · 05-02-2012 03:04PM

Ok think I've gotten to the bottom of it, looks like the small board is fryed.

Small short at battery connector while start is held down.:(
Also looks like I won't be able to replace the board without fisrt training as a brian surgeon.

Damn kids submerging Nintendo products in water.

You may not be a brain surgeon but you do take some awesome nude Nintendo pcb photos!

You should be watching Gamecentre cx!

I'm pretty sure Clock Tower is available on the PS1 in the US.

I didn't take the pic it was stolen off the net to illustrate my point.

For those unlucky enough to never have taken a GBA micro apart, they are ludicrously hard to put back together, more annoying than the DS:eek:

Mgs3, that game still makes me fall asleep.. don't know why but I have only scratched the surface of that game, even after all these years and about to buy it again on the 3ds!

It starts off really really badly with codec calls coming in at an alarming rate and at lengths that would make MGS2 blush. Then after 2 hours into the game something strange happens. The codec calls stop and shock horror, the game actual lets you play it. What follows is 18 hours of some of the best gaming you will ever experience

If only MGS4 took a leaf out of its book. It's definitely a game worth going back to.

Now excuse me, I'm off to wind up legend of dragoon fans on Rage's facebook page.

Subsistence is definitely the finest individual Metal Gear package available - it's an absolutely astonishing game, and delighted I waited until Subsistence to play it!

Plus, it has gaming's largest ladder! The only sleep-inducing bit in the game (depending how hardcore you are when it comes to The End)

Yeah Snake Eater was definitely my favourite MGS experience. First time I played it I did that thing where you completely avoid one of the boss fights but more or less accident

Steve X2 · 06-02-2012 12:14AM

Just watched "Chasing Ghosts: Beyond the Arcade" there for the first time. Must say it was interesting enough and definitely worth a look if you've not seen it.
