Great projects though. Also note the very nice looking taito cab in the background, definitely more there than advertised.

Plus there's the mint punisher, cadillacs and nemesis boards inside them!

haha yeah ,but the taito cab isn't one of the listed !! and I think someone might have jumped on these very quickly without asking some questions.

o1s1n · 09-09-2019 3:50pm

Not quite as exciting as cabs, but a deal nonetheless.

Set of official Megadrive infa red wireless controllers for €30. They usually go for at least twice that.

Ah I've wanted a pair of those for ages now....I'm broke though from buying so much crap this month already. This was the first time I've ever gotten paid monthly....and it was a 5 week month.

o1s1n · 10-09-2019 9:58am

Yeah I've been after a pair myself for years but after getting an 8bitdo receiver/controller they're totally redundant. I'd say that's been bringing the price down a bit alright.

Anyone see the Afterburner Climax on adverts? 1,800, so not cheap...however still seems like a bit of a deal for such a fancy machine.

missing bezels and crap cps

I've scanned the control panel and bezel from the orange cabinets and the marquee from the black cabinet with the yellow buttons.

If anyone wants these scans to stitch them together, PM me.

Wondering what's a good price for a brand new, unopened snes mini. Got two as a gift that Christmas and it's just gathering dust. Still with the receipt and all.

Will stick it up for sale if I can get a fair idea on price

I have one of the orange ones, so I scanned everything I could. I've done this with several cabinets. The scans are on an old laptop, and I plan to get them online.

Some of it is on DropBox. Side art from Suzuka 8 Hours anybody?

I'd say the moment you saw your own face being reflected back at you from a giant snes mirror hanging in your living room, you really would have to step back for a moment and think;

'What have I become?'

Is it appropriate to post gifs of that mirror scene in Silence of the Lambs?

That's absolutely lovely. Always wanted to try one out, but any I've seen tend to be battered with no instructions.

Edit - seems to be a great guide as to how they work here (for the exact model linked)

I got an alert on the hotukdeals app for the 8bitdo M30 Mega drive Bluetooth controller.

https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/8bitdo-m30-wireless-bluetooth-gamepad-controller-for-sega-mega-drive-mini-1492-delivered-with-new-user-code-at-aliexpress-3314985

There's a ~€2.40 off voucher on top of the discounted price for new AliExpress members only.

Just sign out of AliExpress. Click his / her link,
And the voucher should be there in a, red banner.

I just signed in Google this time instead of my usual log in .

They don't check the address and I **think** it doesn't matter if you use the same card, you could always use another one.

Ordered both controllers for my Mega Drive 1 for about 40 euro delivered.

You will also need the Bluetooth receiver for the original mega drive.i ordered 2 for €28.49 delivered:

€ 13,12 25%OFF | 8BitDo Wireless Bluetooth Receiver for Mega Drive Bluetooth Sega Genesis and Original Sega Genesis for NS PS4 Handles
https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/CuhLCZnK

For the new Mega Drive Mini you don't need any receiver as it has Bluetooth built in I think.

Read the thread on hot UK deals.

They also have a clip for phones for the controller.

Is there a wireless solution for Dreamcast yet? I’ve recently put a pico psu and gdemu in mine and that’s the final step.. I know there’s the dreamconn bit it’s cost prohibitive factoring in delivery and customs, didn’t 8bitdo show something a couple of years back?
