[NEC Console Resource / Re: A little straightening out.....]

I bought my first famicom just last month from 80sFreak and guess what? It works fine! He packed it well and it was just like it was in the picture. It's like you realized that oh wait I've screwed myself out of the only place I can get PC Engine stuff well I guess I better go back there and slander the gypsies and it didn't work. Look just go on eBay and pay the sucker prices and then you can PayPal claim anyone who doesn't respond to your emails in 10 minutes and doesn't give you your money back when you buy something that you don't understand the risks on.

He's been also trying to do this on AtariAge and shocker they told him to come here. Must suck to want to get something PC Engine related and not be able to use the best forum for it!

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: WTB: Turbo Duo]

You should consider contacting KeithCourage I just bought a Japanese Duo, recapped and region modded for a very reasonable price and I'm extremely happy with it! I know you want one that's not capped but he might have one that's not. Either way I think it's a good place to start.

[General Gaming / Re: Anyone purchase from RetroUSB before?]

Here's a Compatibility List I think the key to the NES Powerpak is that you have to install loopy's mappers over the latest beta mappers (both found at the link above) and that helps out.

Speaking of support I noticed over a year ago when I got my SNES Powerpak that game genie codes didn't work on HiROM games and emailed support and I never heard back. I started a thread on NintendoAge and was told that they got my email and were going to look at it, so yes if you find a bug good luck on getting it fixed as I don't believe either Powerpak have been updated since I got them .

Krikzz mentioned working with mappers on twitter a week or two ago and then he did answer someone that the mappers he was referring to was working with 8-bit mappers so maybe he means NES? It's the only other 8-bit system I can think of that he doesn't support and uses mappers but I could be wrong!

It was a joke, it's not real.  It's not RBI Baseball with marbles!

Aww I hoping for some sort of crazy pachinko type game

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: So what do you think Gamestop would give for rare retro games now?]

They want to get into the retro game market. Their CEO had this long interview with Joystiq and he told them that it's something he wants to do as an online only thing. I think they'll do well from the people who don't know better but the people who are on forums like this one will be smarter and either take advantage when they list rare games for way below what they're worth and then laugh as they try to sell commons for above market value.
