Just popped over to say that I am happy his collection has stayed within the community. I know it is what he would have wanted.

Might be worth seeing if you've got anything that is not in TOSEC.

I should probably book things if I'm actually coming.

As I posted in AmiOracle, my Mega CD 2 recently suffered a mishap with an audio cable and now the ends of said audio cable are unfortunately embedded in the line out sockets of the Mega CD unit. My attempts to remove the debris from the sockets without having to open the console have failed. I...

I tried, but it didn't work.

Because Nintendo quickly locked up most of the third party developers in their draconian licence system which forbade them releasing the same titles on rival platforms. There weren't many left to develop for the Master System, hence the large amount of first party games and ports.

Lock up yer miggys, cos Firthy is coming!

Got a nasty situation with my Mega CD 2. An audio cable I was using in the Mega CD's line out broke off when I tried to remove it. Unfortunately the way that it broke left the ends of the connectors still embedded in the audio sockets! :( Is there a way I can get the plug ends out of the...

Would someone be willing to disable the modchip in my French NES so that I am able to play PAL-A region titles on it please? I don't have any PAL-B carts so at the moment it's not much use. Happy to pay for the work and the return postage if drop-off/pick-up isn't feasible.

Since the console will still be running at PAL speed so will any NTSC games. Compatibility also isn't 100% due to this timing issue. Due to the design of the NES nobody has been able to achieve a true multi-region mod. However some clones can be made true multi-region.

I remember a sticky thread about it, think it might be over on EAB, tried myself a while back with compactflash.device and a Transcend adapter on my 1200 but couldn't get it to play ball with an 8GB card I bought. Apparently the PCMCIA slot is a lot more fussy about the cards it likes vs an IDE...

You mean dial into a computer and use it's LAN connection? Dunno if you can do it with Windows 95 or even 98.

Should have sufficient pennies by then to attend...count me in!

I have Euroscene 2 in my stack of Amiga CDs, pretty good compilation. Was after a physical copy of Euroscene 1 but might just download it instead.

Looks in pretty good condition. Keyboard issues might be down to that homebrew replacement cable. You might have great difficulty sourcing a loose original to replace it with.
