teh "what did you buy today"-thread

[override]

Well I went over to the local antique game/trade/sell we jack the prices up way to high store today and found me nice little catch!

I gots Metal Gear Solid, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night and R-TYPES (both original games on one disc arcade style with refreshed graphics) for a mere $45!

Castlevania goes from $20 to $40 complete, R-TYPES varies from $10 - $40 and Metal Gear Solid goes from about $10 - $35ish.........Not a bad buy if you ask me!

The shop is ran by an old mexican dude that I think gets all this shit from auctions/flea markets and well ofcourse trades! He has tons of shit for everything except the Duo  but stuff for NES, SNES, PSX and especially Sega Carts and more are plentiful!  He used to be descently priced but it seems in the last few months his prices jumped up and its more like shopping at ebay now....Hes a nice guy tho and if you buy a couple he will usually give it to you for a bundle price! I think I would have spend like $60 on all these but he said $45 so thats cool!

Well anyways heres the pictures:

Not bad at all.  Those games look like they were never even used!

Well the R-Type on is flawless, the metal gear has some light scuffs on the  back side of the disc, the castlevania one has some minor scratches on the back side that seem to follow a cleaning pattern...kinda like someone tried to clean one side of it with a rough rag or paper towel. Other than that yeah they are in pretty dang good condition!

scored at the local thrift shop -
$12,
Sega Genesis Model 1 with Original under unit Sega CD with Sherlock holms and Sonic CD.

Huzzah!!  Couldn't pass it up.

It came with two controllers and two AC adapters-  I think I've got an extra R/F adapter for a gens model 1 unit.  Is there anything else I'm going to need to get this thing working?

I'm not going to get to test this baby out till I get home tonight     lol

Any RF adapter will work be it for the NES or even the obscure TurboGrafx-16!

You might need the following:

-"Mixing cable" for the Sega CD.  This is just a simple mini to mini headphone jack cable that can be bought at any Rado Shack.  It goes from the Genesis headphone jack to the "mixing" port on the back of the Sega CD and allows you to adjust noise made by the Genesis in comparison to the noise made by the Sega CD itself.  VERY helpful in games like Road Avenger and Lord of Thunder where the Genesis sound effects are way too loud.  But normally keep that volume slider on the Genesis all the way up.  If you do not use this, then route ALL sound out of the Genesis headphone jack straight to your stereo system (via a heaphone jack to RCA cable that can be had at Radio Shack, etc) or just listen through the RF connection.

-RCA stereo cables to hook the Sega CD up to a stereo system if you use the mixing cable.  Remember, if you do not use the mixing cable and use the RCA cables, you will not hear all of the sounds and cartridges will be silent.

Well as of now its a no-go.  I got the AC adapters and R/F cables and when I get everything powered on I get no Sega CD power....  

Now, I tried the AC adapter's on both the genesis and Sega CD, switched them and everything.  It only works on the gens.  DAMN!!

The Sega CD seems to power on for a split second when I first hit the power button, like the two lights on the front light up for about a fraction of a second.  I fear I may need to open this beast up... and probably move further questions or assistance to a more appropriate thread/ forum...lol

That sucks.  That could be a dead mobo in the Sega CD.  But then again, maybe not.  I experienced where when you power up you get the initial screen, but it is frozen and that was a bad mobo.  Could be some sort of connection error.  Make sure the power supply for the Sega CD is 36 Volts or something like that.  The Genesis power supply should be 17 volts (I think).  If they are both 17, the Sega CD might not work.

Tom Phobos, I have never heard of that game.  Is it an official US release?

This time I officially capped off my recent pce shopping spree with mint (according to Toshi) copies of Double Dragon II and Chiki Chiki Boys 

[override]

I bought this like forever ago (several years when still in highschool) and my friend has been hanging on to it since then. I seem to have always forget about it when I wanted to get it back while visiting. I now live in the same area as him and went to his house to pick it up tonight! I paid a $1.00 for this at a garage sale in angleton,tx!

It is complete with all manual, paperwork etc! The only thing Im missing is the RF module. Ofcourse that is simply replace with an old nes one or TG one.

For any means I took a couple pics for yall to see! I wish the box was in better shape but its torn from the left to right about half way down the top on both sides. My guess is its from taking it in and out of the box over the years who knows if the peeps where the original owners.
