Scan the moo-cow book!

only single cover and lyric sheet

Thank you, I didn’t realize it was for the record. I thought it was a separate kid’s book. Ha!

A third party seller on Amazon was selling copies of Runbow for Wii U for $10.64 ($6.65 + $3.99 shipping) so I ordered a copy since I'd been wondering about this one and never noticed it so cheap before.

Well I didn’t buy it.

But I just won a giveaway during sideshow’s live stream today.

1/6 scale tie fighter piolet.

Pretty excited.

Sacrilege to soil a TE with Ninty stuff. But curiosity got the better of me.

It's slightly mindblowing seeing the TE larger than the SNES Classic.

[Necromancer]

Not really, seeing as it has no screen, controller, battery compartment, or cartridge slot.  Strip it down to just the system pcb, and it'd probably fit in the SNES classic shell.

Question about cable: The 1/8”*AV-in male plug for the TurboExpress/GT
... it has three sections, correct? Video and L+R audio?

I am trying to find a generic cable because I lost/misplaced mine years ago.

Thank you in advance.

*3.5mm (I forget that most of the world laughs at our weights and measurements)

This is what I used,

I only had the 3.5mm to female AV. But that works fine too. Just connect the ends with your regular AV cables.





To get it all working I had to get the SNES mini's HDMI signal downscaled. So I used one of those cheap chinese HDMI to AV converters.

Yes, thanks for confirming.

I forgot you needed the extra step of HDMI —> composite, but since I have composite for all my video sources, I don’t have to worry about HDMI (yet).



I want to play some VHS VCR via TE/GT.... I found some old home movies at my parents... I thought it would be amusing for my brothers to see it displayed on a TE.

I'm sure they'd get a kick out of that. lol

Speaking of VCR's,
I keep an old VCR around purely for the reason of using it to connect older consoles that only have RF as an available connection.

So basically it's to go from RF to Composite, via the VCR. I have a couple TV's that don't pick up the signal of these old systems. This solves that issue.

An RF Demodulator would have done the same job, but those aren't exactly on the cheap side.

I do the same thing. I hook up Atari 2600, GASP 5200, 7800, Intellivision, Colecovision, Odyssey 2, and others through a VCR that connects to my PVM via composite.

Yeah and the VCR doesn't have to be functional as a player/recorder either. The heads, sensor, motor, etc, of mine are pretty much shot. But of course that doesn't matter as that's not what I'm using it for. 
You can pick them up for next to nothing nowadays.

[Mathius]

It's been years so I forget...does routing RF thru a VCR improve the picture quality on a CRT at all?
