I got the impression MD has better graphic, due to the much faster processor.

I had Super Street Fighter 2 for MD. Quite okay leh, but definitely slower than SFC/SNES version. But then maybe because my MD is clone?

But SNES has better sound. I made 3 way comparison of SNES version of Lion King to MD version to PC version. MD version is equivalent to Ad-Lib audio, SNES version equivalent to SoundBlaster 16 Audio -.-

PC version can sound like either one depending on how you set up your setup.exe

the shop wanted me to add RM180.00 for the power adapter.

Why need separate adapter? Official Sony PS2 adapter is 100v-240v. I thought I will need another adapter when I got my NTSC U/C PS2 from eBay, but then found that the only thing I actually needed was a lead from a old VCR tongue.gif

For me, well, so far I never kena con (except maybe a bit for price of console because u know eBay laa). But my aunt kena:
- Buy clone MD (because it was cheaper- but then it may be a blessing in disguise because the clone MD has no region lock)
- Buy *ahem* Sonic 3, cannot save (because it was cheaper)
- Buy *ahem* Sonic and Knuckles, cannot Lock-On (because it was cheaper)

But then it was a long time ago.

And for Zoro's case, to top it off, those games look very real and original. The catch was a different serial number.

I know it's a little rare to find that sort of a real pirated DS cartridge, but this is actually very rampant in China.

Dont worry bro. It happen to me also. Some parents just put our hopes high of giving us something if we do well for exams but they wont get it for us. Well, its for our own good i guess. wink.gif

I do get rewarded for what I did in the past, but we'd just realize when we're older that it's for our benefit. Heck, my past keeps me remembering how I only asked PERMISSION to buy a PSX. The money was saved for 2 years.
