Recent Purchases and Good Finds

I got two Happ/Wico P360s with the wico dust covers saying Wico Perfect 360 on em for a 100 bucks, it also came with 14 buttons (Happ concave with cherries) still connected to its wire harnesses. It was gutted from a cab supposedly. Only catch was it was sold as is, so I gotta check if they still work. Wish me luck!

I picked up a SNES flash cart not long ago to run English translations of Japanese RPGs as well as games I can’t find in cart format
I do have 2 Japanese carts, there both fighters so I don’t need to know what the text say. Story driven RPGs on the other hand I like to read in english

The only truly impressive and accurate emulator I’ve used is BSNES, which requires a monster rig to play on(dual core 2.4ghz). However, it does low level hardware emulation as opposed to dynamic recompilation which leads to many glitches, and ultimately many half correct fixes that end up breaking something else.

Bought two LS-32/JLF shaft extenders from Shadaloo.eu … They’re 15mm long. Extenders from eTokki are 13mm long.

I got those extenders because I intend to recommission two joystick cases missing joystick levers. They are non-universal mount HRAP 3 and Arcana Heart 2.

Would have preferred the thicker diameter (ā€œblack shaftā€) eTokki extenders but he didn’t have them in stock… Maybe I can get the bare-metaled extenders I’m being sent powder-coated.

They’re being screwed onto LS-40-01’s when I get those in. Threads and pitch on LS-40 shafts are identical to JLF’s and LS-32’s.


To d3v:

I honestly don’t think the first Macross F hybrid disc for PS3 is worth it for the Macross shooter. It’s just a one-level demo. The full Macross shooter for PS3 is on the second Macross F movie hybrid disc.

The first hybrid Macross F/PS3 disc is worth it for the movie, IMHO. I liked it… Easily the prettiest-looking Macross since Macross Plus and a fairly easy film to follow. No Japanese knowledge necessary!

Everyone understand, though, that hybrid Blu rays DO play in every Blu ray machine out there… The only thing that won’t be useable on another Blu ray system is the game… That part of the disc only works on PS3’s.

When you put a hybrid disc into a PS3, you get separate icons for the game (under the control pad icon in the PS3 Menu Bar) and movie (under the filmstrip icon in the PS3 Menu bar).

I did find the extras on the Macross F feature film to be useless fluff… Nothing interesting to me like character and mecha model sheets, storyboards, pencil tests, or a history of Macross. Basically just PR and press conferences.

Got SF2 CE boxed for the Genesis for a dollar at a garage sale. I remember paying $70 for this retail back in the day. It was several months worth of allowance.

Been on a lucky streak lately. Snagged a Street Fighter 2 Pinball Machine today. It needs some love but has some upgrades (Full LED playfield, replaced the stock plastic car with a Diecast car so it won’t break, New/stronger flippers/ NOS Chun Li motor, and new DMD. Needs a LOT of cosmetic work, but i’ve got some ideas for it…

awesome! how much $? (if yo don’t mind)

Hey guys theres a great deal at game on grafix for one custom MvC3 art for what I believe is for a vlx going by the size $5 you can’t beat that customs usally go for $30+
I was thinking about getting it to see how the quality and texture of there stuff. I dont own a vlx so it would be a waste also the charters chosen by the person aren’t my preferred team but the design looks nice no start cut out though and I wish they would have went with the SF button layout. You could also prolly cut it down to fit a V3 the price comes out to a little over $12 shipped better act quick you really cant’ go wrong with this deal could even sell it to make a little profit on here

I posted this in the tech talk hang out I figured I would post it here as well

450$. Needs a couple hundred to make it perfect though.

Just ordered this for the hell of it, prolly not gonna put it on, but its a deal i cant pass up. thanks rooster :slight_smile:

cool good to hear I’m really surprise no body picked it up by now I think it just if people see something too cheap they think something wrong with it

LED Playfield on the SF2 Pinball Machine…

That same machine is sitting in a Pawn America near me. $1200, looks great. Chun needs a bag over that head, but otherwise…

Picked up a practically new BlazBlue TE for 360 off of CL. $120

Please don’t do what this guy did to his.

hahaha…i was thinking the same thing…

Why am I thinking the BlazBlue Stick would look better as a Stay-Puff Marshmallow themed stick

And yes someone makes actual Stay-Puff Marshmallows

Yeah, it was sad to see what happened to that stick. The only plans I have for it is to put in a Full White plexi, and a Kitty Board for MC functionality. Oh and replace those funky xbox colored buttons.

All White TE !!!

I have those!
