    Does anyone know if they restock often? I'd like to get SoR2 if it comes up again. The Rage said they'd be getting OutRun, it's sold out but I wonder if Data Discs are planning a restock soon?

    I see Shenmue and Shinobi were restocked in the beginning of July. I've followed them on Twitter anyway.

    I've almost a full set. Missing 3 I think. Not all mine are the limited edition ones though.

    The whole game soundtrack on vinyl thing has really taken off. I've missed out on a lot of ones I would have liked to gotten. There's so many companies making them its hard to keep up with the all

    Yeah... I'd really like the Street Fighter 2 one that came out a few years ago but it goes for silly prices now.

    Sellers on Discogs want well over €130 for it for example.

    No thanks.

    Argh I don't have a single one of these but know the moment I buy one I'll have to have them all.

    And then I'll easily be able to justify having to buy a high end turntable for my hifi.

    Slippery slope!

    You could just do what I did... find some eejit on adverts.ie that's managed to damage their direct drive turntable and offer to buy it on the cheap.

    With replacement parts of whatever is broken it shouldn't set you back too much.

    With replacement parts, preamp and the actual unit myself I have a pretty decent setup not that cost me less than €50.

    Same. I’ve threatened to sit down and start it every year now for years. I’m a HUGE Snatcher fan so shame on me :o

    Joooiiinnnn uuuuussssss....

    So... I know that's a quip and all but she actually is!

    The thing came mint in the box but they saw fit to leave batteries in them back in the day.

    The CD player was ruined to the point that the seller almost refused to sell it to me. I was convinced I could get her working though... and working I did.

    It still involved hours of me scrubbing the motherboard to get rid of the traces of rot that came from the batteries but it was worth it as she's working a treat now.

    So yeah... tough little ship! :P

    Star Control for the MD.
    Exhaust Heat 2 for the Super Famicom.
    Vampire Hunter for the Japanese Saturn.
    And XDR for the Japanese MD.

    To be fair to The RAGE their pricing seems to have really improved over the last few years.

    Few bits from this week.

    x2 MVS MV1FZ as I got a good deal on them. They need a good clean and Unibios install, but both work fine.

    New old stock controllers for Xbox and CDTV.

    I've also been making a few lithophanes for other people, so decided to make some gaming related ones for myself(normally I'll do regular photos).

    Doesnt look like much.

    But backlight them and its quite nice. This one is 200mm long.

    Normal photos usually come out more detailed, but I just wanted to try something different. Regular photo litho below.

    You could make some cool lights out of them. Small case behind them and a led strip

    I'm sure we can sort something out. Takes about 10 hours to print a high quality one.

    Seller on Arcade Otaku had some. Think they are all sold out now.

    Didn't realise the watch style battery had to be removed on these. Is it prone to leaking?

    Couple of more arcade artwork lithophanes(both 200mm long).
    I like the Gravitar, but the Outrun needs work(SEGA logo and the colour transition on the car)

    Theyre CR2032's alright, have always been on my MVS boards. I don't remove them. Most of them actually still worked!

    They are rechargeable batteries and very prone to leaking unfortunately, the majority of dead MVS boards can be attributed to battery rot and SRAM failures I reckon.

    You can replace them with Cr2032 coin cells (with holders) but the recharge circuit needs to be disabled, useful guides here
