teh "what did you buy today"-thread

[BlueBMW]

Picked up one of these from IDCHAPPY.  Works surprisingly good!  Ran every one of my boards great on my PVM.

[shabba]

My nice, almost minty copy of Might and Magic 3 arrived. I enjoyed it while I played an emulation version of it on my PC. 

[SuperPlay]

Some nice pick-ups recently folks :-)

BlueBMW that looks like a nice interface .. Must resist buying PCB, Must resist buying PCB ........... ;-)

I have picked up a copy of Hudson Soft CD-Rom² 1993 Music Works Collection

[Bernie]

Got this in today. 



And this from Keith Courage.   

 

[liquitek]

Bought a $10 scratch ticket and won $75!  So I went shopping.
$40 went on these goodies for my DC and the other $30 went toward a negitoro don, a Kirin Ichiban and some edamame.
(upload folder is full so it won't let me post a pic 

- Starfire light gun
- Code Veronica
- Blue VMU
- Green VMU
- Performance TremorPak

All in great condition.  The guy who sold me the VMUs had taken the batteries out before I bought them so I had to get some more.

What tracks are on there?  Same as on the "Hudson's CD Game Music Collection '93"?

[Bernie]

Nope, they're different.

not quite a buy, and not quite finished, but i'm pleased so far:


and for easy packing, the stick has a kind of quick disconnect:

That controller is awesome! Did you create this yourself? I've never seen anything like this before. What system does it work with?

[Joe Redifer]

Looks like it's for the Wii, a system known for it's MASSIVE library of amazing games and fighters with anime chicks in them. If you don't own Melty Blood on the Wii, you probably aren't even truly alive.

Never really got into the Wii much... bought one for my wife but I didn't really spent much time on it. Played some drunken Wii Sports, but other than that...

Guess my pulse is barely detectable, haha

[bartre]

well, i took one of these (got a busted one for $5):
http://www.amazon.com/Wii-Fighting-Stick-Nintendo/dp/B000SKLUXS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1361849001&sr=8-1&keywords=hori+fighting+stick+wii

and gutted it.
the art is stuff i designed from a couple pieces i found online, and got printed on some adhesive backed vinyl at https://www.gameongrafix.com/
i'd recommend it, that stuff is nigh indestructible.

as for the buttons and stick, all sanwa stuffs.
i haven't finished it yet though, so it doesn't work, but i'm going to be putting one of these in there:
http://forums.shoryuken.com/discussion/46572?threads/t.46572/

so yeah, it'll work on the wii, but even better, it'll work on teh turbobs, a system known for great 8-button fighters.

Fray is freaking sweet.  Ikari on cute anime roids and big colorfu gfx = winner.  pretty tough though to stay alive! 

I found a copy of Fray in the mailbox yesterday.  'Twas snagged from eBay for $23.18 shipped. 

[Necromancer]

Agreed, Tokei.  It's cute as hell and tons o' fun - the only part I don't care for is the jumping bits where it's hard to tell where you're gonna land, consequently often falling to your demise.

Thanks, S.P.  If you take away the Gate of Thunder and Dynastic Hero tracks, it's identical to the US one.... we got cheated!

Went downtown to buy some resistors and capacitors, and browsing around I got these:



Around $50 for everything
