    Arrived earlier than expected, but I'm not complaining.

    I'd say they'd be fierce handy for storing your oddments. Money, phone, makeup, parchment, potions, weapons etc...

    Thanks to Atavan I am now the proud owner of Option Tuning Car Battle 2 for the PS, and happily it seems to support my beloved NegCon!
    Looking forward to taking it for a spin this evening when I get home.

    Let me know what you think. Played a bit of the first and seems really solid.

    Last week I received my 2nd Mega Drive, this time it was modded to play in 60hz.

    I didn't get to show it off properly so I thought this might be a good spot.

    Inserted was a copy of Micro Machines 2. That also arrived this morning :)

    Seriously delighted I have this. I've neglected playing this system for too long because of the screwjob us European owners got.

    I don't know.
    I can see the plain advantages of 60hz and full screen gaming now but, at the time, I was pretty happy with my Sega Megadrive and the pal games it played, I had nothing to compare it to.
    So, Thunder forces 3 & 4, Road Rash 2 and Virtua Racing all seemed to run like they were supposed to, and all via RF as well!

    That said, I would not go back to that, having becomes quite accustomed to the pleasures of region free gaining at the proper speed and via an RGB cable too.

    Ignorance is bliss :pac:

    I bought a Genesis 3 about 15 years ago and never looked back. 50hz is an abomination.

    I went for a couple of black and yellow ones as well this time to test them out.

    I've been put off buying a Gameboy because the screens are always a mess up seriously tempted now if I can pick up one of those shells. I really miss my fat gameboy and love the feel and ****ty screen on them.

    I modded my original gameboy with a backlit screen and it's so enjoyable now. I prefer using it as the SP

    No spares with these, just enough for each one.
    I could 3D print you a D-Pad, but the quality wouldn't be as nice as the real deal.

    Link to "How to recognise a Meth Lab , I wonder is there a market out there for people who want to know if the abandoned building they pass on the Luas, on the way to and from work, is in fact cooking methamphetamine?

    You probably already know how to apply vinyl but if you don't it's well worth watching a few vids beforehand to get the technique

    I did the various stickers on my cab using the water spray and squeegee method. Granted it is applied on to painted metal but it worked a treat.
