Marco

@furrtek @alexcom__ I did not want to be rude but, right now, with that pricing it is something that seems too good to be true so I was looking some hints and you're the Neogeo (furry) wizard so I was hoping that you knew something more.

@marco_contezero @alexcom__ *red laser dot points to forehead* ...no...

[sweating intensifies]

@furrtek @alexcom__ Are you involved?

@alexcom__ I'd just be excited, not sweating !

@ManCloud89 If I understand correctly the 15 pin d-sub is for...an external monitor?

#MegaDuck Super Junior Computer gets reversed! I invested several hours to pull "proper" schematics out of the PCBs and shared them on GitHub. During the process I also completely redrew the MainBaord PCB surrounding the CPU.

@notnotzecoxao Done contezero0208

@marco_contezero yes, install discord please, i don't trust whatsapp nor twitter dms

selling the ps4 pro on 5.05 with the permission of skindred. comes with some games. 175€ plus shipping. brand new with controller and cables. europe only

@notnotzecoxao I will do asap

@notnotzecoxao No. Private message here or whatsapp. If you think it is necessary I will install them.

@marco_contezero hey marco, do you have discord or telegram?

@leonkiriliuk Thank you! I will look into them.

@marco_contezero It already exists. ShipStation and many other providers. In Canada, I use ChitChats. 7-14 days with tracking to most of the EU for 1/2 the cost of Canada Post and 1/5 the cost of FedEx/UPS/DHL with no VAT paid by the end user (middleman is PostNL, last mile is local post)

I recently purchased an item via eBay UK. Their Global Shipping prices are insane. I learned a few things in the process: - some countries are forced to use this service - same item shipped via Royal Mail is 1/3 the price - eBay is using this as a revenue stream to gouge buyers

@MameHaze Do you think it is an emulator or a Game Gear on a chip?

The ROM from one of these got dumped. Not sure if anybody has looked at them before (it's an AtGames unit, pretty sure it was sold under other names in different territories)

@natalie_thenerd How it is called the other plug?

It doesn't matter how you feel on the inside, this 0.3mm pitch pattern I drew myself looks beautiful and that's all that matters

@MameHaze Thank you! You really are the greatest expert of Xavix hardware and software.

@marco_contezero As far as Plug and Play stuff goes the Japanese XaviX based ones tend to be decent quality though, but so many of them require custom controls and/or have camera based inputs it's difficult to say right now.

..and if you play only one XaviX based game, make sure it's Geigeki Go Go Shooting. This shmup doesn't deserve to be a plug and play exclusive. Satoshi Fujishima formerly of Compile was involved in the development. The new sound emulation does it justice. youtube.com/watch?v=PRALvn…

@MameHaze Yes, I meant only those playable for MAME but since you mentioned it, there is a hidden gem also in the group of not-yet-emulated (or not yet playable)?

@marco_contezero For MAME? It's a little difficult to cover the whole library at the moment as so many of them are unplayable due to missing motion controls (which are going to be a nightmare to add) I can list a decent selection from the playable ones though.

@VideoKraken Then, my second option is....the rarest of them all, the glucoboy for gba.

Big (positive) change are coming in my personal life which will affect my posting habits (starting this week), so you will less post for a while. Meanwhile I just acquired one of the rarest accessory for the GBA. Any guesses on what it might be?

@VideoKraken The Agatsuma tv tuner?

@TorusHyperV I checked the msrp on the official xbox website for Italy. It was still 599.00 euro

@marco_contezero I reckon the msrp increased both in the US and EU recently though?

You hear through the grapevine that Xbox hardware has been abandoned (and some merchants are getting rid of their remaining stock presumably?). Id love to know more but this is very sad if true

@TorusHyperV Also where is still available the price is even higher than the msrp. Definitely something in happening but wha's the point of quiet quitting before Christmas season wtihout a replacement product? Maybe it is a simple case of low inventory?

@TorusHyperV In Italy Amazon still sell them for 648 euro (1tb, msrp 599) but gamelife (former gamestop), mediaworld (mediamarkt), most of the others chain stores and even the official xbox store (!!!) do not have it available. Weird...

@VideoKraken Have you ever tried if the BA-X has a graphical interface for audio cd? The Playdia doesn't and it just feel weird.

I was just reminded that today, September 23rd, marks the 31st anniversary of the release of Bandai's Playdia. Here’s my two BA-X consoles which are pre-production model before Bandai adopted the Playdia name.
