nice tc
Got this today;

The retail production-run seems to be so small that most places have only gotten one or two copies at most. I cancelled a pre-order at Amazon UK and had to find this elsewhere, because they ran out on release day (if they even got any copies at all), and apparently won't be getting it back in stock. It does explain why the official press release only mentioned the digital version, though!
Went to a Cash converters on the other side of Manchester as I was bored last night and found something suitably interesting.

Also picked up Retro Gamer and found a PS2 Network access disk in the same cash convertors so picked that up as even though I dont have the Network disk, they seem to always be missing from the network adapters if you buy one.

I now own one of those latch free 1084ses.
Nice. I've got 3 with latches still intact. Unfortunately only 1 is still working now though :(Quote:

New stuff has arrived :grin:
Immaculately packed.
Very impressed with the shipping. It was shipped from Japan on Thursday and arrived today.
By comparison, i am still waiting for a package that was shipped last Tuesday from within the UK :lol:

Of course buddy :)
Beeeeeeeeeautiful. :thumbsup: Has it ever actually been used? :o
Also, I don't think I've ever seen a controller like that last one before.
The machine does have some light scratches and stuff so has been used but is in very nice condition.
The controllers are very early models with the cable coming out the side instead of the top.
the d-pad has a screw thread in the middle for screwing the nub/stick in. There are two included (one for each pad).
Cool! I don't remember ever seeing that on the Western equivalents... Though admittedly it's been waaaaay too long since I last used a Master System, haha. :lol:
If you don't mind modifying a cart, you can get all the SG-1000 games on one and save some shelf space :thumbsup: Well apart from a print out of all the dip switch combinations and which game that corresponds to :lol:

I got today HP LP1965 monitor with speakers. It's 19" size, PVA panel and it is capable of 24 to 83 kHz horizontal frequency and 48 to 76 Hz vertical.
With Indivision ECS switched to 1.00 vertical scaling the scrolling is smooth like on CRT. Ofcourse there is some ghosting, that is not on CRT but it's not
so heavy. Colors are much better like on my previous TN Philips C170 monitor.

wut could it be??? Sega 1985??

Only a complete Wonder Boy PCB (the one closer to the lockbar) and Choplifter PCB (higher up, I guess left most in the pic). Both games are Sega System 1 arcade boards.

You lucky soul! :D I almost scored a Wonder Boy PCB a few years back, but it turned out to be a bootleg when the seller checked his stock again (he had more than one), so I backed out...
I must admit to no familiarity with Choplifter, though!
thanks, Wonder Boy PCB's are hard to come by, and get expensive, I got this for a song :) I'm looking for either (or both) a Pitfall II PCB or an Wonder Boy In Monster Land PCB. The end goal being that once I get a few other projects out of the way, I'll build a switcher and put all 2/3/4 PCB's into the one cab and make a Multi Sega System 1 arcade box. Im not holding out much hope for finding the other two PCB's so... but thats going to be further down the track, maybe a winter project.
I actually know of an online shop over here that had a Pitfall PCB that needed some work at some point (no idea if they ever sold it, though), but on going to check, it seems to be down right now. :( I'll keep my eyes open and drop you a PM when or if it comes back up, if that'd help. :thumbsup:

Etsy is kind of like an equivalent to eBay, but exclusively for handicrafts, crafting supplies, and vintage goods over 20 years old. I say "kind of" because it's not an auction site - it's composed entirely of buy-now listings.Quote:

EDIT: Taking a look, I suspect that the seller of the decal in this case was probably RunStopRestore. ;) There's a fair bit of Commodore stuff on there.
This baby arrived to me from USA yesterday :)

No image but it seeks for a floppy in drive A briefly (or is it drive 0? ) then nothing, even when the CP/M boot floppy is inserted.
When turning off the tube shows a persistent dot, indicating the tube filament and canon are working and that's it.
Any advices?
Hi rog
Hold down break while resetting to see if you can boot the Rom Basic
We need to get a boot disk for you, or you can write your own if you have an older pc with dos and a 5.25 floppy drive
TC :)
A whole new world just opened up right there, thanks NR. The sticker looks good on the black tinted window, beats the heck out of the "family" stickers. :-)Quote:

Sorry guys, no idea why all the CRs got stripped out of that last message. I'm trying to edit it but nothing happens when I hit save :(
I have to say I am jealous. I absolutely love those machines I really do. I had one about 7 years ago pretty much mint in the box which I sold :( It felt great coming from the US as well. Enjoy it!Quote:

Still, I enjoy it.
You should look at replacing the screen in that Nomad, its pretty easy mod and very cheap too. The difference is really noticable.
You can also add a wire to the asic allowing the use of Master System games (with a suitable converter or Everdrive).
I have a thread on here somewhere showing both mods
Thanks for the tip! :thumbsup:Quote:

I'd love to do it but its my only Nomad, they dont come cheap and I'm not the best with a soldering iron :(

I messed up an A4k front panel, and thought I'd get a replacement made in a run of the mill sticker. I used Photoshop to lay them out. Thought some would be interested in the results....
They aren't perfect, but I'm very pleased with the 1st run results. I did them in both matt and glossy prints. With the additional "chrome" Commodore logo attached and some sort of glossy topcoat I think they will be excellent!

I can't recall who I pinched the logos off (it was from Amibay I found the logos), so if the owner recognises them please let me know!
More stickers....
