EricDeLee Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Hiya! Did you get those buds from a brick & mortar store, or a web store? Thx. I got them from the PX... The store on post. I like them a lot. I tried them out yesterday while playing Call of Duty 4 They are really nice. I'll have to try them while running sometime to see if they will stay in.

EricDeLee Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 nice find Ghost... I need to raid your area! LOL I found a similar dael in the past. A PSone, those three FF games and another one... Tactics I think. I also got Chronic something or another. I can't think of its name right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost Soldier Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 ghost soldier those are amazing finds homie were did u find all of that stuff at? Between Terre Haute, and Indianapolis, Indiana. I make a run up to indianapolis every couple of weeks. They have a pay by the pound goodwill outlet that's kinda neat. Also a few value village's that are good for something every now and again. There is a flea market up there that has a couple decent vendors too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gulag picture radio Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 I bow down to Ghost Soldier. Makes me feel like I got ripped off for these $1 PS1 games. Family Feud NHL Powerplay '96 Agetec Bowling Caesar's Palace 2000 (come in a 2 disc box, but it's only bigger to fit a book on actual gambling) Disruptor (case only - I missed checking for the disc! Growl.) NES Chip & Dale Rescure Rangers - $1 Waco mechanical poker game from early 70's - $1.50 Wireless Recoton speakers (great for gaming on a video projector) - $12 They also had a ton of VCD movies among the CD's. For the uninitiated these are frequently low quality bootleg versions of movies pressed onto CD. They play in most DVD players, but aren't really worth more than the novelty of the insane Chinese covers. Buck a throw: Final Destination (thought it was a Playstation game... my eyes bust be going funny) Payback Star Wars Ep 1 (funny cover, rotten movie) Armageddon Deep Impact U.S. Marshals Tomorrow Never Dies Cheaper than renting them...

MFoolsRun Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Had a find today that made up for my long draught. Virtual Boy. In beat-up box (no internals). With eyeshade and clip-thingy. With (semi-broken) stand. With AC adapter and TAP thing. In the bottom of the box were Mario Tennis, Wario Land and Vertical Force. The Virtual Boy buzzes on the right side, and the right "eye" is a little wobbly. I'm guessing it's the lense assembly spinner thing. I'm going to take it apart and see if I can figure out what's wrong, but if anyone has any experience, please let me know. Woohoo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gulag picture radio Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 VB's do go out of alignment when they're banged around. I never had to repair one... I always seemed to thrift a spare when one went bad. Worth a look. One thing that almost no one seems to talk about is that the VB has one of the nicest soundchips of the period. The games often have very nice music, and the close proximity to the speakers give you nice stereo fullness. Even if your VB is busted, the AC adapter is hard to find. Even a non-broken stand isn't terribly stable, so it sounds to me like you might have ended up ahead of the game. Oh, and I forgot one more thing on my list. I got a PS1 Mad Catz steering wheel & pedals etc. for $1.50. That's going to be rad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The adapter itself is, but the bit that attaches the adapter to the VB controller is more rare. Ironically I didn't get the battery TAP in the deal I fixed the buzz/wobble! I took the whole thing apart and found that it was the mirror's vibrating that was causing the buzzing. Part of the mirror assembly which would be ridiculous to describe needed a dot of super glue and now it's working perfectly and quietly. Super proud of myself for fixing it, and super happy to finally have a VBoy! Edited February 19, 2008 by MFoolsRun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super proud of myself for fixing it, and super happy to finally have a VBoy! good jerb captain! I have a VB and power tap myself, the left eyepiece seems out of synch, and of course, a messed up tripod base. I haven't taken the time to dig into it and fix it however.. I'm just glad to have one actaully being an overly large person, I essentially have pro wrestler dimensions, I find the VB horribly uncomfortable to set up and play, I don't suffer from vertigo, the display doesn't mess with me, but it's very tiresome to operate for me. perhaps I should make the head strap mod?

MFoolsRun Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 So I had to open up the Virtual Boy again; apparently last time I'd failed to align the focus and... other knobby thing's pins and slots and such, so they didn't work. God damn, Virtual Boys are a pain to disassemble. You can't just place everything back in the case like with an NES or SNES --you have to make sure everything on all sides is properly aligned and fitted and hope it stays that way while you put the cover on and screw it back down.

MFoolsRun Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Even the common ones are good pulls in that set, Zach. Between Marioworld/Allstars, Zelda and Super Metroid you've got the three mainstays of the system! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classicgamer24 Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 wassup guys just got back from goodwill on my lunch break got me another sega dreamcast was 14.99 with 1/2 off paid 7.50 for it yayay!!! plus they a ps1 complete from 19.99 to 10.50 i was thinking of getting it maybe to resell it or trade it for something else what do u guys think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gulag picture radio Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 The Dreamcast is an awesome system. Good for emulators & homebrews. I thikn that it's going to be the brains behind my MAME cabinet til I can get a computer in there. As for the PS1, there are some fun games for it, but you'd have to mod it to do a lot of the other fun stuff like run homebrews. At the thrifts I've been to, it seems like the salad days for PS1 games. They're easy to find for just a buck or two mixed in with CD's. I either play them in the arcade cabinet, or I have one of those little PSone's with the attached LCD TV. makes a lot of those crummy graphics look a lot better. Reselling the PS1 probably won't get you much these days. Either trade it to someone, or at least keep it as a CD player. There are people in the audiophile crowd who swear that an old Playstation is one of the best CD players out there. http://www.retrothing.com/2007/07/playstation-1-a.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
