Any faults with Mario U and Sonic All Stars isn't the fault of the console. But I'm not interested in games like NBA 2K or Call of Duty.

Latest aquisition...




System is complete in box with manual and antistatic bag. Also came with a bonus unused, good quality JAMMA harness.

Bukiri One looks like it was rode hard and laid out wet, but the other three appear to be full kits and look to be either new or VERY lightly used.

Speaking of other three, they are:
Fatal Fury: Wild Ambition
Samurai Spirits 64
Samurai Spirits 64: Warrior's Rage

Not sure why I'm in such a Neo craze lately, but this thing is fun as hell! Especially Warrior's Rage.

I always wanted to give those games a try Mishran, as I have never played any of them.  Very cool.

It's just unfortunate that my home made "supergun" power supply is not sufficient to power this beast. Had to temporarily borrow my arcade cab from my MVS board to play it. Need to invest in a better power supply or perhaps another cab. Hmm. :-k

Still waiting on some stuff, but here's what I've gotten recently:


The screen is pretty scratched up, but it still works mostly.  I'll probably get the caps changed anyway, though.


I LOVE this thing.  It's missing the battery pack, but still, so worth it.




Thanks, Keith Courage!

Did you get that Super Everdrive used or paid that $190 for it ?

Used from a person over at neo-geo.com and it has the dsp-1 chip in it as well.

Lucky. I think I want one as it might possibly rekindle my gaming interest for that system (that's why I'm getting a Turbo Everdrive), but that's why it'd be hard to justify a $190 price tag. If I loved playing videogames like every weekend as I used to when I was young, then yeah, it's worth it. These days, if I beat 2 or 3 games a year, it's a miracle. SNES had a great, solid library, but do I still love it enough to spend that kind of dough is the thing and then I'll have to track down worthwhile ROM images to use it with.

Anyhow, there's still something different about using a real console and just settling for the emulator, I dunno why. 'Bout the only game I beat with the ZSNES emulator was Terranigma after learning it was a Quintet game that had been released in the UK in English, but not in the US. It was a pleasure to get to play that I recall, interesting story and good action RPG in the mold of the prior stuff Quintet did. The other game that I can think of was this Japanese Wild West shooting one that was kind of fun... I tried to play Secret of Mana 3 with the fan translation patch, but I quit, I dunno, I wasn't feeling it plus those days I was more interested in spending all my time mastering the creating of fan translation patches myself for Ys games, oddly enough.

Recently, I was having fun doing the YPbPr mod for my SNES and I wound up playing some Super Punchout with it the other week (Wish the game was longer, takes 2-3 days really to learn enough to beat it, but it was good fun). So yeah, modding work has sparked some interest in a system that was collecting dust for like 12 years... but then I think about all the PS1 and PS2 games I bought that are still sitting unplayed/untouched (a game stack that I put next to my workstation, in my face, to get me to eventually play them, though it didn't work)... Meh. I haven't really recovered from when I was working on my Bachelor's to my first jobs upon graduation where I transitioned from rabid game player to moderate/occasional game collector who might play a game or two per year (some exceptions were made for FF games). This is also why I have that stupid backloggery thingy in my signature, to help me try to *finally* knock off some PS2 games I've had for years and years... A constant reminder that I've got a good gaming collection that I need to finish.

Yeah emulation isn't all ways a 100% so flash cartridges,such as the everdrive it gives me a reason to own the console again.Another thing being i don't have to worry about having a big collection either.I wasn't sure if i wanted a snes again since it's prices started to spike.When i heard about the super everdrive and seen what it can do i thought why not.Still "i will buy some for the sfc" but not to much for it.The super everdrive works great so far,now it can't run super fx games or even megaman x.Still that's no lost to me i can all ways buy those.Also ive tried sfc games that have the fan translation and they work great through it.
