Why would you tear open a console to get to the mb? It's so much easier to unscrew it!?!

My guess would be that he did not know how to run a cd with the cover off at the time.

Yeah some of the stuff Dean did was pretty smart, and other things were...ummmm...well....uhhh....

But at any rate, Deans issue was not ill intent. More like" f*ck it I'm burned out and tired of doing this shit. ". He kept on taking on work though instead of telling people no and taking an extended break. Big mistake on his part that pretty much buried his multi-forum reputation in a quagmire of shit. Really sucks for the guy. In general he is a pretty nice guy, and he cut a lot of people on this forum quite a bit of deals.

He also did try to make good on the f*ck ups, but I think after a certain point people were just too fed up and angry. Other shit was already going on with other bad sellers on here, the neo forums, and elsewhere, so the well of forgiveness was all tapped out. People tend to forget that in the end, Dean did a lot more good then he did bad for the communities. As is, hope the guy is doing well, and still doing some obey from time to time.

I think he still lives and works here in the San Francisco Bay Area.  I met Dean in person when he sold me the Duo-R.  Was always nice to me so I was sad to hear of the issues later but I understood the whats and whys.

Man, Mike.  Have we really been hanging out here that long?  Where does time go???

ProfessorMH is the one I credit for "encouraging" (shaming?) Dean to make good on all of his transactions here at pcefx. I wouldn't have a SuperCD + handful of great games if it weren't for Prof.

The truth is, Dean offered a refund...but I wanted the gear...and I don't think Dean had any desire to pack stuff up and ship it. None at all.

Thanks, Prof.

:)

I signed up about 10 years ago after already lurking for years to fix my duo.  His thread he started and other input from other members early on in that thread helped me with getting the CD audio back and enjoying Ys again.  So I thank him for that.

Not complaining about the site but the digging up old threads like this.
Dig up something interesting rather than troll the site.

Dean was a major contributor who made some bad decisions and then made a sincere attempt to rectify those mistakes.

This is much more interesting than 99% of the old shite buried in the forums.

For example, I am pretty sure Dean was the first here who got his hands on the TG-16 quasi-JAMMA kit, *scanned the manual*, and *described his first impressions*.

Key thing: he shared all the info :)

Sure, some folks may have shared this info in smaller, private circles, but Dean helped satiate a much larger audience's curiosity by posting the info here.

So, even though he was busy, he was totally contributing unique, great stuff.

:)

Years later, BEEMER wrote up a thorough FAQ with photos that I wanted to expand  (I was trying to add info on the company, United Amusements but didn't get too far...).
