Lens received, stay tuned for more action soon ;-)

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: Raffle: TurboGrafx Super System Card 3.0 case only]

I don't need it, but I just wanted to say that I find pretty cool these raffles that appear from time to time here :-)

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: Graphical glitches when playing from CD-ROM]

You really need to find someone nearby and try combinations of different system cards / IFU units / consoles.


BTW, nice 7800 games there :-) I like the 7800 too.

Unfortunately, I've uploaded the Wario Land 2 covers I did to try and break the driver.
 addition to an MCGenjin 2 or whatever mapper.

Why is that unfortunate?

elmer: Me too; as I always say, damn caches 

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Re: CD Stupid Card 4.0]

Just signed just because of this. I am in. *happy*

Well done ;-)

Tailchao: Very good news indeed, and an interesting find.

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Re: CD Stupid Card 4.0]

How is it going TailChao? :-)

Edit: I misunderstood you  You are in search of the ad. Can't be of help, then!

Aren't both strawberry and banana tastes available on any UK supermarket, or am I missing something here?

Last time I went to UK on holidays I brought both home ;-)

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Re: a faster _satb_update routine]

I would like to take a peek at the ROM version if you want to post it, too :-)

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Re: a faster _satb_update routine]

Thanks :-)

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: Hop-M3]

It should be. The picture is from the item description

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: Hop-M3]

Interesting information, thanks :-)

Ok, I finally went with the aquawayindustrial pickup. Let's hope I have a bit of luck with this ;-)

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: Hop-M3]

So you think the dalbani one is a reproduction?

That one does have free shipping, may be worth trying, 54 sold:

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: Hop-M3]

Taking into account the shipping it's twice the price over the chinese sellers, but it's probably half the risk too :-) Thanks a lot for sharing your experiences kale_criss. I'll probably get one of these.

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: Hop-M3]

I suppose I will have to take the risk then... :-/

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: Hop-M3]

Wow, 20 to 30% is... too much 

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: Graphical glitches when playing from CD-ROM]

This looks like bad RAM to me. Damn.

Do the glitches appear at the same positions if you power off and then try the same game again?

If the answer is yes, try to burn the same game two times and see if the glitches are the same too.

Do you have another system card to try?

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: Hop-M3]

Yeah, the Electronix lenses were "the ones" :-) Too bad I hesitated too much.

I was fearing getting charged more from the shipping rather than the actual lens pickup. I was burned because a few weeks before I had to pay an extra 60$ for a Game Cube AC adaptor that I got for free because it was included in some stuff I needed to receive (not a Game Cube). A bit of bad luck in combination of FEDEX + import duties left me a bad taste in the mouth...

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Hop-M3]

Ok, not to repeat myself (I asked a similar question a few years ago) but I'm in need of buying a replacement lens for my PC Engine Duo.

Back then Electronix had it in stock but I hesitated because after writing them asking for the shipping costs I never got a clear answer (I'm in Europe).

Today it seems easier to find one: Electronix no longer has it on stock, but it's easy to find them on ebay or aliexpress, and the prices seem right and the shipping costs are clear. The problem is, I fear getting a knockoff copy.

So, has anyone got one recently? I would appreciate if someone can point me to a known legit seller that ships known working duo lens pickups :-)

Thanks a lot!

[High Score Records / Re: "HuZero - Caravan Edition" High Scores]

Claiming the fourth position 

[High Score Records / Re: "HuZero - Caravan Edition" High Scores]

Ok, let me claim the seventh spot temporarily before I start climbing.

Also, if you can speak Spanish, there's an interview with me that was just put up on the site RetroManiac.

Interesante ;-)

That was quite an interesting interview Chris!

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Re: CD Stupid Card 4.0]

Thank you! :-) I will keep my fingers crossed, feet included.

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Re: Bubble Bobble]

Already saving money for this. Congratulations on such a seemingly well rounded work :-)

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Re: CC65 and the PCE]

Hey elmer, thank you very much for this version of mednafen :-) It's very much appreciated.

I don't know how many people would be interested, but you can bet I would use CA65 and LD65 :-)

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Re: CD Stupid Card 4.0]

My own account, cjameslv. Lost the access from the version without the final '_' so I had to register again 

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Re: CD Stupid Card 4.0]

I think it's too late for asking for one?
