Thanks! ?

I have a US 3DS XL and the USB plug at the end of the charging cable is plugged into a two pronged US plug. I just wanted to make sure it will definitely be okay for me to charge the 3DS XL by plugging it into my step down converter. If it is, which socket should I plug it into, the 110v one or the 100v one? If not, would it be okay to take off the US plug, and plug the USB plug into my 12v 17Ah jump starter?

For me they seem to be less noticeable the lighter/brighter the picture is, and with certain colours. At first the wavy lines were not visible at all most of the time with any of the games I played, and when they did sometimes become visible in certain places on the screen, due to a particular colour/shade/darkness/whatever, they were very faint and not that noticeable. It was like this for a few months, but now they've suddenly got worse, they're noticeable on the screen in certain places most of the time with whatever game I play and I cannot un-notice them, even if I turn the brightness and contrast up, so this spoils my enjoyment of playing a game. When I get around to it I will try fixing it. Hopefully it's just something simple like a capacitor needs changing or something.

I agree, it's a beautiful setup, really nice looking TV.

Unfortunately my 21 inch Trinitron has developed a problem, it now has faint swirly/wavy lines on the screen. So I've had to break out the ol' Matsui 14 incher.

These days I've been trying out all of the PS1 games that I have which I haven't played yet, so I can decide which games I want to keep and which games I want to sell. Tekken 2 (PS1) didn't really enjoy this as it feels too sluggish, like the characters are moving through treacle. Stock Car Racer (PS1) not that great. Croc (PS1) very enjoyable platformer.

I loved playing it on my Atari 800XL back in the 80's, it's a very interesting game, I think it's a lot better than the original Pac-Man. The surprising thing is, is that the Atari 8-bit version is a prototype, it never had a retail release, I never knew this back in the day. How I got a hold of it was I just copied my Nephews games that he had on disk, and one of those games was Super Pac-Man, his disks were copies themselves which were copied from someone else. Crazy how the original prototype was in America, and then I end up with a copy of it on disk in the UK.

At first I thought you meant game cases. I have a red one and a blue one. I'm not sure if they're made by the same brand as the ones in your link. I made an unboxing video of them.

Here are my CRT's. A 21 inch Sony Trinitron that I play standard definition games on, and then in the cupboard, another 21 inch Sony Trinitron, a 14 inch Mastui, and then in the box under the Matsui is a 1983 14 inch Sanyo which you can see in the last picture.

Thanks man. At first when I saw someone's Jag in a Youtube video, I noticed the red LED, and I thought 'has his Jag been modified?'. Then I found out that NTSC ones have red LED's and PAL ones have green LED's.

Here's the unsealing. https://youtu.be/LLSe4hm5ds0 I've also been playing the game and I actually really like it, I can't understand all the hate it gets. So far from what I've played the game doesn't seem broken in any way, and while it can be quite challenging at times, I'm not finding it so difficult that it stops the game from being fun.

Some really great looking games there!

Might sound like a dumb question, but I take it it's okay to leave a cartridge in the system all the time while it's not switched on? Here's my unboxing video:

Tempest 2000 is on my wanted list, it reminds me of Livewire on the Atari 8-Bit. I've seen rotary controllers on ebay, they're quite expensive though, but I might get one if it does enhance the game that much.

I can't actually wait, lol. I should be receiving it tomorrow.

So I received it yesterday. The console is working perfectly, and the console, controller, and games are in really nice condition. As soon as I fired it up and started playing Kasumi Ninja I was already having a lot of fun, so the console can't be that bad. ?

Here you go.

I will. I'll probably make an unboxing video along with Bubsy unsealing too.

I just started playing the original Doom for the first time last night on my PS3 copy of Doom 3, so I could then look at some videos of Doom on the Jaguar and compare them both. I did this because I wanted to see if it was different enough on the Jaguar to make it worth getting since I already have it for the PS3. The only differences that I've noticed so far is that the Jaguar version doesn't have music, and I think maybe it looks a bit more pixelated? I think my Jag should be delivered tomorrow, I can't wait!

I know a lot of people say it's a terrible game, and I've heard about the problems that it has, but it still looks like something I would really like to play. So I've just bought myself a brand new and sealed copy of Bubsy off ebay. ?

Thanks for the congrats everyone! ?

Cool! Thanks for that. I did have a look at all of the commercial releases on Gamefaqs the other day, and today I was thinking about checking out the homebrews but completely forgot. Even though I'm not a collector and I just buy games to play, I still like to have them complete in box for some reason. So even though it will cost more, possibly a LOT more, I will probably still only buy complete in box games for the Jaguar, unless there's a game that is really, really expensive if you buy it with it's box, or one that's so rare, that it could be years before I spot a complete in box version for sale. I would've liked to have bought a Jaguar with it's box and manual, but that seems to add about another £100 onto the price, plus I don't really have the room at the moment When I started browsing the games on ebay a few days ago I was really surprised at how much they go for, and when searching for any one particular game, not that many come up. I'm guessing a lot of the games for the system were released in small numbers, and that's why they go for a lot of money?

Thanks cubanismo. ? It's odd that I'm more excited about the Jaguar than the PS5, lol.

Thanks tripled! Oops, I forgot to ask (I was actually planning on asking this in my original post), can NTSC games be played on PAL systems?

With Kasumi Ninja and Cybermorph. It cost me £200 and around £6 postage. It looks very clean with no visible scratches or scuffs, at least in the photo anyway. I've always liked the idea of having one. I'm not sure why it has taken so long for me to get around to it.
