That is a great haul, man! KDL 3 for 3 bucks is such a steal. And I don't have that one yet, either, so I'm doubly jealous! Also, that Game Boy haul with Mr Chin's, Final Fantasy Adventure, et cetera? That is a beautiful picture, man. I really want a copy of FFA. I'm holding out for a complete one, though.

Salvation Army
- Fuchsia Game Boy Advance (very good condition, missing battery cover though) with a Pelican grip and Final Fantasy Legend II in the cartridge slot = $20.50
- 2x original PlayStation Controllers, 1x Analog PlayStation Controller, 1x Namco Guncon for the PlayStation = $3.26 (these were in two bags, the digital controllers in one, and the analog and Guncon in the other; each bag was priced at $6.50 but they ended up being 75% off, so fantastic price for these)
Also got an additional $2.05 off for being a student! $21.71 total after taxes.

eBay

2x PlayStation Memory Cards (1 white, 1 grey) = $7.99 shipped

Luna Video Games
- Micro Machines V3 (complete)
- Devil Dice (complete)
- Willow (cart only)
Traded-in my extra copy of Vagrant Story, that cart-only FFLII in the first pic, and a complete (slightly damaged box) Sonic Pocket Adventure for the NGPC for these three. I wanted Micro Machines and Devil Dice because they support the PSX multi-tap, and I'm gonna be getting one of those soon, because I'm gonna be getting a copy of Poy Poy soon. Hopefully!

Pretty nice stuff Jerry, hopefully you're gonna treat yourself to a GBA SP backlit revision, right?

Can someone give me a technical reason why the Guncon™ plugs into the composite video port?

Thanks, man. I actually already have a GBA that I'm totally in love with; a black-on-black Game Boy Micro, which is incredibly slick. But I like Game Boy handhelds in all varieties (DMG, Play it Loud, Pocket, Color, GBA, GBA SP, Micro, w/e), so if I find one in decent shape (for a decent price, anyway), it's really hard for me to turn it down. That's pretty much what happened there. :)

Plus Final Fantasy Legend II is a great game, so I felt like I had to rescue it from the Salvation Army so I could sell it to a place where it could find a proper home!

I've always been curious about that. The Saturn's Stunner just hooks up like a standard pad, correct?

It's probably used to interface with the TV better to provide more accurate light gun sensitivity...

Well, more power to you then. Having a few different Game Boy systems is nice, but collecting them is just something else entirely. What all do you have for GB systems anyways? You probably have way more than me.

Maybe when I finish the RPGs I already have (Pier Solar, Golden Sun 1, Phantasy Star IV etc), I'll check out some for Game Boy.

Yes it does. I've got a sweet little PS1/Saturn lightgun and the PSX side has a composite plug on it. My orange Saturn gun has only a controller plug.

I'm somewhat of a gameboy nut as well. I even have a silver Gameboy light that i play pretty frequently. Do you happen to have any spare gameboy micro face plates? I've been looking for some for what seems like years and cant find any ANYWHERE!

Kega Fusion. Pop the Sega-CD in your PC, fire up the EMU (with needed Sega-CD BIOs of course) and play away. I know it's not on actual hardware, but at least you're getting to play your actual CD.

'Technical reason' means total guess, right? How about that it overlays the screen with a grid or dot blanket for better target isolation? Or could it be an attempted stay against incompatibility with newer wave tvs (ED)?

Wow, Déjà vu! From over 4 years ago:

Namco guns are different, and they likely take more resources to operate, but easier to wire up...

Also from this source: http://stason.org/TULARC/games/video...-differen.html

P.S. The reason the Guncon has the Composite Video plug is that it
uses the far more frequent (and therefore more accurate) Horizontal
sync, which occurs 262.5 times more often than the Vertical sync's 60
times per second, or 15,750 times per second. Pretty spiffy, huh?

Yeah, sure, congrats to the guy for being ballsy enough to drop that kind of cash on a console. I'm not hateful or envious, just not impressed is all.

It's not balsy if you work for a living. One day you'll have a real job and know what it's like to spend a lot of money on something.

I don't dare say what I dropped on my competition skeet gun...but I earn enough money to afford it so I don't need to be "balsy" I earned it, I spent it.

A-fucking-men. Before I started working and having a career, I had the same mindset but now that I make quite a bit of change, hell I have dropped big dollars if/when I want to. Some stuff I do refuse but other times, why the fuck not?

Yeah evildragon didn't do a very good explanation. Plus he said they're easier to wire up. WTF? Easier than the shitty Guncon 3, maybe. But more of a pain than any other Light Gun outside of the Super Scope and Menacer. I also never felt the "increased accuracy" of the Guncon compared to that of the Stunner or whatnot. Granted, I point and shoot, I don't use the sights.

Except most people have said $650 is a huge chunk of change, even for a nice CMVS made in a real wood shell... It's not just me you know. I don't see why you need to drag personal jabs into this, I can do whatever the hell I want... Much like Lan Di. I'm sure he's gotten lots of complements about his purchase. Kudos to him...

I can do whatever the hell I want too. Personal Jabs: Engage!
