teh "what did you buy today"-thread

Peter Green rocks!

That's one of the nicest Duo packages I have ever seen!

[ceti alpha]

Holy shit Beamer!! That packaging was great!!!  Nicely done!! 

Oh, and the PCE-EVO poster looks amazing as well. 

[henrycsc]

Thanks guys!  Yeah I don't know what to be happiest about!

I now have the Duo collection thanks to Opethians and Rockabilly's Duos!  They are all sweet!

BMW's packaging was priceless!  I had to photo it for you guys.  I didn't do anything nearly as creative for what I sent to him.  I think he's turning into a little PCE monster though.... maybe BMW really stands for BonkMomoWataru!

Seriously though... the US Duo is in amazing condition!  Thank you so much for the trade & I hope you get tons of Obey time with your new stuff!

I don't understand why, but I have always been a whore for S-Video. Maybe it's because it strikes some kind of perfect balance. That might all change if I can actually get the component to work on my Neo. All I get right now is a foggy picture with a lot of wavy lines. I actually made a video about it:

I you are using an internal encoder like the neobitz, try adding a 0.1uf ceramic capacitor on the sync INPUT line. This usually gets rid of the wave.

I got one of those too (well a PC Engine one). Where did yours come from & how shattered were you when you discovered that it didn't work.

What doesn't work? If nothing works, like no power turns on (LED), there's probably an internal fuse which is blown. I have the same prob with one, which I will check by time.

Want to trade / sell it?  I have a loosie CD rom unit that will be lookin for a home

Assuming I could repair it of course.

Yeah, everyone has been telling me that it is my TV, even though I get the same wavyness (is that a word?) on every TV I use.

Unfortunately, I will need someone to do that procedure for me as I don't have the skills.

Dungeon Explorer has the most kick-ass music on the Turbo....period!

I've been neglecting to share the acquisitions of the week!  Several folks have sent me things (Some expected.... some not!)  So in advance.... thanks to all that hooked me up with great stuff!  And even more thanks to those who just decided to send me something cool just because!

Here's a run down of what Santa Claus (AKA the postman!) has brought me recently!

First a mighty huge lot of goodies came in from none other than PC Henler (henrycsc)   (Not shown is a freebie PCEvolution poster that I totally didn't expect!!!)



Next, Sir Mathius sent me a nice little unexpected freebie!  I haven't tried it yet (busy week!) but I will this weekend!



A few ebay auctions I picked up for what I believed to be non-gouge prices!  As a F@CK ebay club member, I'd ask the club to comment on the legality of these purchases.  Ldis was $7, and Sprig MK 2 was $30.  I just bid the opening bid on each, nothing more.  $4 shipping each.



Yet another unexpected freebie from none other than Necromancer!  He felt that having Sapphire as my only Arcade title was a travesty!  So he sent me this!!!  On a side note... check out the packaging on the right there!  The game was wrapped in the stuff!  Henler, I think you've spawned a line of Christmas gift wrap!  Also, the outer packaging was A: Recycled, B: Creatively addressed... C: complete with a sticker warning of the high level of "pure awesomesauce" and D: stamped with the turbob seal of approval... an intel inspired "obey inside" logo!  Looks like I need to step up my packaging methods!



And lastly... found some goodies that will hopefully provide many smiles and obey for a few people.... some Turbo/PCE CD replacement lasers that were a very good price!

100% pure Awesome Sauce, BlueBMW! That first pic made my salivary glands implode. As for Legend of Xanadu the opening cinematic alone is worth the price of admission.
