    Hmm, not sure I'd say that about the micronics developed ghosts'n goblins

    Well, I'm happy enough to make my collection a little more complete.

    I think, of the major releases, I am only missing the MD version



  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 50,865 CMod ✭✭✭✭Retr0gamer


    It will never be complete until you have the supergrafx ghouls n'ghosts

    Feck, I can only play that via emulator...

    My main Amiga 600 keyboard has been acting up. It's a common thing with them that you need to replace the keyboard membrane.

    Decided to try out one of these new hard membrane replacements. Its very thin PCB material with some flex, but it's a lot harder than the old membrane and should last the lifetime of the machine. Will swap her in tonight and see how it goes. Paid about €40 inc vat on sordan.ie

    They work great , fitted one to my 600 a while back



  • Registered Users Posts: 8,852 ✭✭✭Steve X2


    I just swapped it out there(as well as the access LEDs). It really works well, and am i imagining it or is it a bit more responsive when typing?



  • Registered Users Posts: 7,501 ✭✭✭Inviere


    Looks great Steve, might have to invest. Been trying to get in touch with Sordan for weeks to ask about their CD32 cap kits maybe being restocked, no reply by various channels tho!



  • Registered Users Posts: 8,852 ✭✭✭Steve X2


    I'll ask him, he might reply to a previous email chain i had with him.

    I see those CD32 cap kits are in stock on Amigastore, you're probably talking 20-22 euro delivered for those I'd guess. Based in Spain so at least no extra fees.

    Did not expect this 3D print to make it through customs, but here it is. Laserbear won’t post by USPS anymore because of AnPost, but this got shipped before that decision.

    Makes for a great finish to use these. I also bought one for my Saturn and Fenrir but it’s not installed yet.

    Not to ask a daft question but what happened there? Is this a case of a company refusing to post to Ireland unless it's via a courier company (i.e. more expensive) or a USPS thing or what?



  • Registered Users Posts: 2,018 ✭✭✭Colonel Panic


    AnPost are sending back stuff from outside the EU when they deem it to not have the correct electronic customs information. But I spoke with Greg from Laserbear and they DO fill in the correct info. Similarly, Raphnet sent me a package from Japan that got returned to sender but they fill out the required info. I got a replacement package sent and that arrived.

    Elite big small box for the Spectrum, complete with the 'The Dark Wheel' novella and the Lenslok device.



  • Registered Users Posts: 8,852 ✭✭✭Steve X2


    Not the most exciting "Get", but useful nonetheless. I was going through boxes in storage and was constantly finding old C64/Amiga style joysticks and pads and wanted a quick way to test them. This is actually not what I ordered(that was a smaller one that runs on watch batteries), but this will do the job and I can power it with an external battery pack.



    After a quick 3D print.




  • Registered Users Posts: 8,963 ✭✭✭Doge


    I still have have a PCB that plugs into the joystick ports on the c64 and allows you to swap the ports the joystick is currently connected to without needing to physically do it! It's a must have imo since games don't just use port 1 for player 1, it varied with every game.

    Some Hungarian guy advertised it on Gideons 1541 Ultimate Groupand was detested by some for doing so haha.

    I snapped it up straight away.

    Big get today off famed pantry enthusiast @o1s1n


    Absolutely delighted to add a larger PVM to the garage. I need to get a new breakout cable, mines gone askew.

    Moving it to its final spot tonight and then to calibrate it. To be honest I'm a bit lost for setting up the screen on this. Never had to do a PVM this big before

    Kerbdog gifted me an AES and it is working a treat with the just arrived 161in1 AES multicart.

    €98 from AliExpress, somehow dodged the customs man.

    He also converted an old 360 wired arcade stick into a NeoGeo stick, using a little kit also from AliExpress, normally used on a NeoGeo X controller.

    It doesn't look terribly nice on the flat panel but I look forward to giving it a whirl on one of the broadcast monitors!

    Glad to see it go to such a good home and the stand went with it too, really do think they look great together!

    Thought I'd be taking that monitor to the grave with me. Also lost my beloved Celestion Ditton 33 speakers this week too which I've had for over a decade. I don't think I can take any more! :eek:

    On the plus side, I'm currently looking to mount tracked shelves on a 16 ft X 10ft wall which is going to give me an absolute colossal amount of space to displaying my videogame collection. So not all is lost!

    Nice! They're such a lovely looking console, I always meant to get one of those memory cards but never got around to it.

    Actually as a matter of interest, any idea if that's my old one that I sold on to Kerb?

    Excellent, I quite like the idea of my old consoles going off to retire in your attic :pac:



  • Registered Users Posts: 7,501 ✭✭✭Inviere




  • Registered Users Posts: 5,773 ✭✭✭Jack burton


    Speaking of speakers I have to get a pair for the PVM. Have a **** desktop pair of USB powered ones. Have to get a better solution though.

    Have a new breakout cable on the way too. Nice 3 scart switcher and I'll get a tidy rack of consoles underneath it.

    One thing about brexit is that a lot of the usual eBay and cheaper cable pickups are now just so much hassle to get and are getting sent back....pile of shi1e

    I've visions of myself going the same way in a few years when I start missing stuff!

    Yeah I used a crappy PC pair with mine for ages, be lovely to get a proper pair like those ones that go on the QM models, have a lovely industrial design look to them that fits right in.

    Well, not as much as I used to... gone legit... just the occasional Everdrive, but what's that between friends?


    Want to buy a slightly used PSX? ;)

    Not exactly amazing or even particularly retro. But I got sick of the price of Vita memory cards and how often they just die or become corrupt(even the official ones). So I ordered an SD2VITA adapter to use a proper Micro SD card in the game slot. My last working vita mem card actually died last night and the adapter arrived today!

    A bit of a pain to get it working without a memory card, but I got there in the end. I stuck a SanDisk Extreme 256GB in and its working well. Loading seems a bit quicker from the game card slot as well.
