And the following carts
Batman Forever
Wheel of Fortune
Zombies ate my neighbors
I got Zombies from and internet buddy, but the rest I found in the alley
You can't do that since the X'Eye has JVC in big letters, also most people mistake the X'Eye for a karaoke machine since JVC packed in a karaoke sampler disc and a catalogue of karaoke discs from JVC.Quote:

I got my Genesis 2 with cart only Sonic 2 and Aladdin for absolutely free. That got me into collecting.
My other great Genesis related deals:
Dynamite Headdy cart only - $5
Ranger X CIB - $2
Rocket Knight Adventures CIB - $2
Shinobi III cart only - $1
Sonic 3 CIB - $2
Just picked up my package where I got:
1 NES (no cords or cables or controllers)
1 NES Advantage MIB (with plastic!)
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Super Mario Bros.
Rad Racer
All for $22 off of shopgoodwill.com
Thank god for the use of standard RCA ports. All you need is the power supply. (AC or DC will work as it has an internal rectifier, iirc the Genesis 1 cable is compatible)Quote:

With: "Origin Interactive Movie" displayed on the front and sides, as well as the ESRB "M" rating on one side.Quote:

So I just bought a new NES. Already have the RF switch, AC Adapter, zappers, controllers and all that other jazz.Quote:

I got another SMS with 4 controllers (1 control stick, 3 pads) and 13 boxed games for $20. The guy wanted $35 for it and when I got there he actually wanted to give it to me for free! Me being the nice guy I am couldn't let him do that and gave him $20. Around here (in Canada) its hard enough to find SMS games and controllers so I already thought $35 was a great deal!
I got an Amiga 500 with 512KB/RTC, 8MB RAM Expansion, mouse, monitor and IDE Controller 3.5" internal HD modification. With boxes for $20. The A500 alone is worth quite a bit, esp in good shape with the box! The fact this one has an IDE HD modification really puts it over the top. The IDE controller board alone could be worth over $100 if I had to guess!
I also got 4 C64 (2x original, 2x C64C) systems, 2 monitors, 4 disk drives, boxes full of controllers and misc cables and games for $50. That was a great deal!!
I've got other deals on many systems for fair prices but these ones stand out!
That's odd, how could the connector not fit back on the board? (it just pops on and off like a cartridge connector) Did you get rid of yout old System?Quote:

-the blinking (looping reset) problem is caused by the loackout chip, which is easily solved by disabling it.
-Replacement connectors are often very stiff and tight and require a bit of force to get carts in or out. (also gold connectors do cost a bit more, but they are better, and ellimiate the corrosion/oxidation problem of the aluminum ones)
-Often a 72-pin connectors are just dirty, cleaning them with a cleaning kit cart helpa a lot (the N-64 controler pak cleaner also fits). Lacking that a credit card, stiff peice of card (poster board etc) covered with a thin cloth will work. (moisten the cloth with rubbing alcohol too)
-The pins may also be oxidized, as the pins are made of aluminum an oxide layer will build over time, reducing conductivity. (dissimilar metal corrosion may also occur if a cart is left inserted over a long period)
-In this last case, the connector can still be saved, but it requires the pins to be polished, using very fine sandpaper (like 1000 grit) folded over a credit card etc. (an emery board may also work) Make sure to clean all filings/debris after polishing. (blow it out and clean as mentioned above)
The top-loader (NES 2) is free from most of these problems as it lacks the lockout chip, has a normal (no moving parts) cart slot, and I believe they did away with the aluminum pins. (of course this model only had RF-out stock, lucky Japanese, their version has the SNES/N64/GC style A/V port)
Super Mario RPG - loose - $3.99
Contra Force - loose - $2.00
Suikoden 2 - Complete - $1.99
A bunch of other stuff I can't think of at the moment.
A couple years ago a guy I was in a band with saw all my game stuff and said he had some old games he would give me. At our next practice he brought over a trash bag filled with....
NES System, 2 controllers, zapper, and about 10 games
SNES system, 2 controller, and also about 10 games
N64 system, 1 controller, a couple games
PS1 sytem, with controllers and a few games, all the systems had all their cords and whatnot, I was pretty happy that day.
Nice find.
Great deals? I've basically been ripped off every time, but I'm just desperate for whatever it is.
Like I bought my CDX for freakin' $125.00, one controller, one free copy of Sonic 2 thrown in at a pawn shop. Really, I've heard of people finding this system for like $20.00. But I wasn't willing to wait for a good deal.
Several years ago when I got my Saturn, I think I paid like $80.00 for the console, one controller, no freakin' aux cable, that came with one game who's god foresaken hinges were broke off... Looking back, that was pretty bad.
