Looks great! What's the button on the back of the machine for? Rgb or something of the sort?

Also, if you meant to post 3 pictures, you first one doesn't work.

You must make a video showing how to use that controller with a Pachinko game.

I want to see how you twist that rotary(?) thing. I'm not even sure where the fingers go.

I've watched videos of real Pachinko machines, but I don't have this controller (it's the same one used for Famicom and other platforms, IIRC) and it's been nagging at me.

I surprise myself if packages arriving in the mail all the time.  Don't drink and eBay !  I've bought off this forum, eBay, Kijiji, and Craigslist after consuming a few too many adult beverages.  My wife just rolls her eyes, when I have no clue what's in the box until I open it.  Luckily my drunk self is a rather shrewd negotiator  ;-)
LOL no better advice has ever been given on this forum! :D I have experienced my fair share of drunk ebaying. When the wife gets irritated I just say... Hey, at least I'm not out spending the money at bars and strip clubs. Lol

Be careful what you ask for Este. Considering the controller's unique shape, and its new owner, there's no telling what kind of video you might get. :P

Crazy thing is, a used SFC version goes for more than a new in box PCE version!

Yes, I got this stuff and I can attest that it works very well.
Personally, I use it for my PC Engine (the original, the white one) on a Bang & Olufsen TV (MX 4200 for specialists) and the result is simply perfect .. !!

This shop, I have also consolised an MVS slot (MV-1C), modded a SNES (swichless region free) and the work was always very clean.

Bud the bad thing is prices.
It must be recognized that the prices are a bit high, especially compared to the work of some skilled guys who are selling their services on forums ..

Hello,
Kind of confusing, I have to get used to swap the options during combat. For what I see, I only hold button I while I mark the red option "attack", I push down till I swap to the green option to charge Ki, the other one is guard and no clue about the 4rth option. For the rest, it's like Dragon Ball Legends, attack the other till you fill the blue bar then cast an attack (here you choose something but I didn't find out what does what).

Just think of this game as an old version of Dragon Ball Legends haha

In the last couple of days, I bought some extra controllers, controller extensions, and Ys IV. I'm not sure why it took me this long to decide that paying a little to sit more than five feet from the tv while playing is worth it.

Picked up Monster Lair on ebay. Little disappointed in the condition, couldnt tell in the pictures but the case is a little yellow :(

If you mean just the white tray, you can get replacements relatively cheap off amazon/ebay/etc.

That's what is great about CD case games.  Easy to replace, and im sure you may have gotten a better deal because most people would be like eeew, but the moment you replace it you are then going to be the person laughing because you got a better deal out of the rest of people =P

pretty much you have the last laugh.

Good games!  I have played through and beaten both of them.  I hope that you'll be able to play them both soon.

Thanks OP. I need to relive my childhood with Parasol Stars first :P That was my favorite TG-16 game growing up, but a neighborhood kid pocketed it, so I've not been able to play it on the console for years. After that, Galaga is next!

Lots of nice ones in that bunch, including ze Gotz!  :mrgreen:
