arhhh... the good old days
still remember last time can play contra, beating the whole game with 0 life loss... of cos that's after countless of hours spending into it, memorizing the pattern of enemies and location of power-ups

Now I don't think I'll be able to beat the game with UUDDLRLRABS

Even Control DS is giving me lots of hard time, can't even beat the game after trying for countless time

Hey gundamalpha and the rest of the retro console freaks here! It's been awhile since my last post in the forums. I've been rather busy and catching up with my new job Good to know you have also started a thread here devoted to classic gaming! Some guys over here mentioned that the PSP could replace all the consoles and play those classic titles from the palm of your hand. But from what I experienced, it emulates those games pretty well and yes, I do admire the emulator author for their coding skills and so forth, BUT the actual playing experience is MISSING. I tried playing a Famicom game on the PSP and it felt kinda odd. Nothing beats the real thing. Sitting in front of your tele, deciding which game you wanna play for that evening, then slotting the cartridge in and sit back waiting for the title screen etc. And what about those light phase gun games like Duck Hunt or Wild Gunmen? Sure you can't emulate that experience. However PSP is one of the better machines for emulation. NDS was quite bad (but I'm not too sure how is it right now). I've heard that the GP32 was pretty awesome for emulation. I even tried playing some GG or GB titles on the PSP and it also felt like something's missing. I just feel that each console out there is built for it's own specialty/reason and not to emulate other machines.

As for my current wishlist. It's gotta be the white GG. Has anyone in Malaysia seen the White GG set before? I first saw it in a shop in Komtar Penang. That was back in 91-92 I think. It's super rare - only 10000 units were sold in Japan.

Another one would be the PC Engine LT. Super rare and expensive. I might be able to strike a good deal with someone, and if the deal comes through, I think I'll let go my current PC Engine GT (since both of them perform almost identical). Any takers for the GT? If yes, I'll post some pics at the classified sections for you to checkout the condition.

That's my rant for today. Happy gaming!

Hey man. Yeah, not many have heard about it! I got the opportunity to see one when I was a kid. I'm so glad I finally secured one. Just hoping to see it next week. I'll post some pics here.

Yup the LT can be connected to the CDROM2 base unit directly without any adapter, but for SuperCDROM2, an adapter is required (and like you said, rare to find one now). The seller has shipped the LT and hopefully I'll be able to see it soon (crossing fingers)

In the meantime, here's a setup that I've always wanted:


Please excuse the PS2 monitor, it's just my temporary rig

Battery?? It has battery backup of some sort? Hmm..

Just realised I have many Castlevanias missing Anyone care to sell their non-DS, non-SFC, non-PS1 Castlevanias?

What game do you play Phatphunk? I know Kyo, neogeocdz and chronims like fighting games.. right?

Added on December 19, 2008, 5:08 pmBTW, anyone with a Gamegear please let me know. I need to clarify some stuff

Is the GameGear suppose to have a blurrish screen?

How am I suppose to do that?

Hell yes. And a little bit of shmups.

Way too blurrish.. can't enjoy the games

Are much of a shmupper? I'm left with Radiant Silvergun to complete my Saturn shmup

Just that one more game I'm missing Dreamcast also missing one, Border Down They my priority now before venturing into other console's shmups

That's why I'm selling games I don't play to fund those.. You need more NGCD games chronims

that game is rare and very expensive

i used to buy Radiant Silvergun and Marvel vs Street Fighter + 4mb cart from liksang.com...those days were awesome...

too bad i lost all of my saturn collection (while i was staying in UK) coming back to malaysia, excuses from courier company ... also some malaysians there that i couldnt trust anymore.... 

all i get left from saturn collection were the sega 4mb cart, action replay 4M plus cart and black steering wheel... wanted to start a new saturn collection but no money lar...

Because the company collapse while half way printing this game, only 5000 or less copies printed. It's a very special game, a rare 3D game from that era that still look decent these days

Wow.. Some serious Saturn talk recently here Don't wish to interrupt. But yeah, Saturn is also one of my wishlist. Nights is a good game, and so is their other 2D titles. Anyone played Shinobi on Saturn before? Awesome graphics!! Heard there are a few variants of Saturn in Japan.. The VSaturn made by Victor, and I think there are other limited editions (like the skeleton Saturn) Maybe you avid collectors should hunt them down?

u selling off the DC collection? is it Europe version? Blue swirl... I got one from UK as well... it died ... PSU n lens problem... very interested in getting UK DC... got few games that i want to play back. Someone gave me a twin dc joystick.. havent use it...

few months ago i acquire a dc (not sure its US or jap version)...

will upload pics soon...

my dreamcast works fine but the problem is it does not allow me to fully close the lid/cover.If I do,the disc stops reading...any way to solve this? 

lens not reading no more...

open dreamcast is easy... look at power supply circuit... burnt smell... also in the past dc consoles have problem with power supply to the mainboard (the pins connection sometimes rust)

used to play dc without the top casing...

i've used dreamkey in UK, for web browsing... give it a go...

btw ... look at that collections... simply nice...

Thanks bro. That's good news for me. But I'm not sure what's the correct voltage of the MD2. It's not stated in the manual. I guess, have to do some googling. You have a working MD2 also right, bro? Can check it for me if you have the time?
Bro, the way it is used sounds familiar to me.   I have it, but mine is called the Mega Key (i think it's 3rd party). My SSF2 cartridge requires to use it, as the game is from a different region.

Chronims, thanks for the valuable information. So, it must be DC type and not AC right, bro? This is the exact adaptor right?

http://cgi.ebay.com.my/SEGA-MEGA-DRIVE-2-A...emZ380077776931

I have a question. What does the "INPUT: AC100V" mean? Does it have to be "AC100V" and not "AC110V"?

As for the Mega Key, mine jumper switches at the back of it too. I seem to have peeled of the yellow sticker for the jumper settings on the cart itself (when I was younger). Now I don't know the correct settings for each region.   

Thanks for the help. I appreciate it.
