A year after it was released...better late than never.

Been meaning to post this for some time now, my "mountain of awesomeness" that was waiting for me at home:

Also not in the picture, I got my Atari 5200 with two controllers, switch box and power supply (sadly no games  ), and also Final Fantasy XII greatest hits which Windancer so kindly gave to me. Thanks wind!

Very nice catches Zeon, very nice.

PR for 3DO is great. Seriously should consider building a arcade stick for it though if you want to do alot of multi hit combos. It really helps.

Is there a good source for 3DO joysticks?  I need one badly......*can't play Street Fighter/Samurai Shodown with a crappy 3DO pad*

You'll have to take a stick from another system and mod it, unless you want to import one.

Picked up Namco Museum 50th Anniversary, SNK Arcade Classics Vol. 1, and Atari Anthology for PS2 today. No pictures because I figure you guys are probably sick of my PS2 collections by now. 

EDIT: Holy shit, there's a JESUS game for MSX?? Rock on, Prince of Peace!

yeah, it's wacky. from what I've heard, the title character has nothing to do with that israeli from 2000 years ago; it's a shadowgate-like adventure game, but unlike that game you cannot die or fail; you just keep going until you get to the end or you give up.

I had never heard about the game til the guy was like "I GOT THIS FOR SALE: 20$" and I was like "O_O I want that".




I wonder if they mean to call it Jesus, like the Mexico folk.... "hay-seuss".....   I dont know.


20$ for a game called Jesus with that cover, is worth it imo

XE-1 Pro FC joystick

Great find these are fantastic arcade sticks. I built an adaptor so I could use mine with my NES toaster.
I highly recommend swapping the 30mm ball top with a 35mm one from Sanwa or Seimitsu. Also it'll benefit with some re-greasing, it's an old stick even if it's mint and unused the grease might be all dried up by now.

Yeah it is a nice joystick i got it from 16bit on ebay there.Though i found out it won't work on my famicom av sad to say.I need either a original famicom or the sharp twin famicom to use it.Though this isn't a rare case either where some third party controllers will not work on a famicom av.I talk to sensei about it and,he mention even the joyball will not work on it.Oh well i been thinking about getting a twin famicom for backup use any ways.

That's strange, I wonder why it doesn't work?
Oh well...plug it into the 7pin controller ports instead. Those I know are identical to the NES pinout and from there that joystick should work. You'll need to build an adaptor though which is piece of cake. Trust me you're only dealing with 5 wires here. Here's the one I built, I hacked off the cord from a nes pad and wired the end to a DB15 male connector.
