Yeah, when I found the cables at monoprice about 1-2yrs ago I bought 6 of them. One from the console to the Duotap, then one from each port to each controller.

It was nice sitting on the couch for a change to play some Bomberman with my brothers and friends when I got them.

Just get a Super Famicom. They are beautiful machines. On the RGB front not all SNESs are created equally. Read here http://retrorgb.com/snes.html


Yep, this is where I read it before.  I have one of the original units, and you're right, I'm not sure which revision it is.  In my move it's sure to turn up so I'll get it out then and check.  I want the cheapest route to playing real GB carts on a TV, so even though I would like a Super Famicom, and I agree they are a lot nicer looking than the SNES (mine was blessed with just the bottom part of the casing that turned brown, so it's only half fugly), in all likely hood I will probably try to make the SNES I have work.  There's a couple SFC carts I'd like to get but I don't have any plans to really collect them, just GB stuff.  The Super GB2 is important to me to have the proper clock speed running.  I'm also aware that it will only play the original gray GB carts and the black backwards compatibility ones, that's ok with me.. mostly interested in the gray carts anyway!


You can also simply take it apart and remove the tray with the tabs, or you can nicely cut them while not attached to the mb.

That's an idea too.  I think I might try to clean the yellowed bottom sometime, so I might just take it apart anyway.

The only benefit GSP has is to seller, they are covered if the package are lost or damaged. Seller loses nothing but IMO it's just for the lazy seller who doesn't give a f*ck if a rare MISB Cotton arrives intact or if the idiot drones ripped the box open and shipped just the game to save money.

I wouldn't count on that.  I recently shipped a statue via GSP and it arrived slightly damaged due to shipping.  The buyer filed for a refund, even though i don't offer refunds on collectibles and vintage stuff. ebay/paypal immediately rips the cash from my account and then asks for me to answer some questions. then they say if it is damaged in shipping to let them know.  i did so, and the didn't give a sh!t.  got an email stating they "sided with the buyer" and that i had to refund his money, plus pay for the return shipping! 
Ebay is all about the buyers, not the sellers.

Damn, just read this.  That sucks man.  I was always under the belief that if the item got to ebay fine you were absolved of later damage but I guess not.  Were you unable to show pictures that it was fine shape before or something?  Hope it didn't hit you too bad.

Nope, even after pics of the item before and after damage, and pics of the busted box, ebay still f'd me.   Luckily the buyer was nice about it and we worked out a deal, but i still lost like $25 in the end.  Oh well.....

Who are the morons buying these? http://www.ebay.com/csc/privatesectorgoods/m.html?LH_Complete=1&_ipg=200&_since=15&_sop=13&_rdc=1



Maybe he makes them.  Converted a bunch of Keith Courage cases.


I asked who the morons are BUYING them! Also I think most (if not all) KC cases did not have the tab

I went to a used game shop in Austin a bit ago and they had many in case copies of Kieth Courage.  They were $2 and I figured "$2 is worth an original case" so I picked them up.  I checked just now, and one actually had a tab in it.  I took the sticker off and don't recall doing that for any other games so apparently some copies have said tab.
