Thanks. It's good to be here. I can't believe how big this place has gotten. I'm really impressed.
Yes. I do indeed need more games and I wont be satisfied until I have every single U.S. game in mint to near mint condition w/manuals, sleeves, perfect labels, boxes and all.
I'm thinking about even picking up additional system variants and some PC-Engine games as well.
I miss it all. I miss it all so, much. I even miss walking up and down the aisles, impatiently, trying to side which game or games to get on a limited amount of cash!
Such a bitter-sweet feeling.
EDIT: Ooops! Almost forgot. My Duo is doing pretty good for it's age and I baby her a lot more than any other console I have.
Early on, a few days after I picker her up, I did a really, really, REALLY stupid thing.
I set it on the carpet when I played it and kept wandering why the CD games would quit spinning.
I also stored it under the slot of a desk or something, directly on the carpet one day before going to work in order to hide it from some destructive nephews that were supposed to visit that day.
It wasn't until a lady at T.T.I. warned me about the whole static electricity erasing RAM story that I began to keep every piece of hardware and software under my roof away from carpet, clothing and etc.
Still there was some kind of damage done. The CD-ROM's accessing became slower and sometimes it would even get stuck when switching between tracks at which point I had to tap the console with my finger to get it going again.
Since I've got it hooked back up, the only problems I've had are with A/V out, causing the sound to fade in and out but, I figure that that could just be dust on the input jack and plugs.
The only other problem with it is that it refuses to play replicated CD's because the last time I had it out, I tried cleaning the lens with a soft cloth because my lens-cleaning CD was warn out. I guess I must've scratched it a little without knowing it.
Depending on where you stand when it comes to replication, I guess some may see that as a good thing since it still plays normal games just fine.
It may not be tiptop but, it's my baby.
