Damn nice LT and nice Tatsujin!! IF2 ain't shabby either!

Mishran · 06/02/2012, 07:16 AM

What is the game directly under the LT? Don't recognize the cover. Nice grab regardless though.

BlueBMW · 06/02/2012, 07:50 AM

Its God Panic... a very very strange shooter hehe

Ah, cool. Thanks. Have to "test drive" it with mednafen to check it out.

JapanTokei · 06/02/2012, 11:29 AM

damn Mathi - 1941 is my holy grail and if i had a copy of Tats I would do that trade.. in fact i just passed one up for 8000 yen sometime ago...

Quote from: Mathius on 06/01/2012, 11:28 PMNo doubt! Honestly, LTs don't excite me all that much. Tatsujin on the other hand. That is my personal holy grail. I'd rather have it over Bazzu, Stream Hearts or any other "rare" title. I'd gladly trade my copy of 1941 (SGX) for a copy. Any takers?

Beamer, you should keep that copy at all costs. You never know when another will come along.

JapanTokei · 06/02/2012, 11:31 AM

Beams - i'm bowing down right now on that haul.. sweet grabs there! how does the LT play in person??

And, just picked these up off of eBay...

Wow! There have been more Tatsujin finds on this forum in the last few days since, like, forever! Nice finds! I am truly humbled.

I had completely forgotten about Bayou Billy and Faxanadu. Thanks for the trip down memory lane!

Opethian · 06/02/2012, 05:08 PM

Xexyz would have been an amazing game if they made it for the PCE.

NightWolve · 06/02/2012, 06:11 PM

"Clash at DemonHead" and Faxanadu, fine, fine games for a NES library!

Bernie · 06/02/2012, 07:46 PM

turbokon · 06/03/2012, 01:34 AM

My third TE and a bonus, a tv turner. You can still get a channel:)

NightWolve · 06/03/2012, 02:00 AM

I was always hoping to get the tuner for mine someday, TZD had sold out by the time I decided I wanted one, but given the switch to digital, good thing I didn't waste that money. Why a third TE, BTW? Triple the fun ??

Sparky · 06/03/2012, 08:05 PM

If i could find Tg16 stuff like i can NES stuff i would be a happier guy

also got this a few weeks ago.. going to put a motor in it for some shits and giggles..

Tatsujin · 06/03/2012, 08:16 PM

nice kett there

@bernie, how much monies did you pay for that tatsoojin there?

Nando · 06/03/2012, 09:29 PM

Jealous but in a good way. Some fine loot lately.

And the tatsujin finds...man!

BlueBMW · 06/03/2012, 09:55 PM

Is that a TE case or just a case or a homebrewed one? I wonder if anyone has connected up a HD antenna to a TE?

PikachuWarrior · 06/03/2012, 10:26 PM

You need to use a converter box first, as the tv tuner itself is analog.

Lilgrafx · 06/03/2012, 11:00 PM

Got Joanne D'arc and Me and My Katamari at my local game stop for $7 a piece. I've been stock piling PSP games since Game stop started selling them dirt cheap. I really like Joanne D'arc, it's the first SRPG I've ever seriously played. I was really expecting to like Me and my Katamari but the controls are terrible, are the console versions better?

munchiaz · 06/03/2012, 11:22 PM

my recent pick ups. got all of this for less than $20

SignOfZeta · 06/03/2012, 11:34 PM

I bought a "new" (2005) TV. Its basically the best fucking thing ever for Laserdisc, PCE, and other SD stuff. 34" of power.

grab .by/dXQs

Its 198lbs without the stand. I bought it from some fundamentalist Christians out in the country. It was playing Veggie Tales when I rescued it.

If I had one complaint it would be that it works too hard to minimize scanlines. The comb filter is so good I don't mind though.

As a bonus, it goes to 1080i and even as an HDMI port on it so I can use it for Blueray, PS3, whatever. I was watching Ponyo and Rushmore on it recently on Blueray and frankly I prefer it to my 34" Samsung LCD.

SuperDeadite · 06/03/2012, 11:39 PM

Yeah those don't display in true low-res. Only Progressive Scan or 4x zoom so you lose the scanlines. 16 bit systems look fine, but the NES looks like shit on them though. The Japanese models take pure RGB but this was removed from the USA releases for some silly reason.

On the other hand, it should work extremely well with the Framemeister, no?

In the meanwhile, I *really* need to s-video hack my Duo...

SuperDeadite · 06/04/2012, 12:03 AM

Should. I have a similar TV but mine is 29'' 4:3. Mine has no HDMI, but it does have dual D-Terminal and AV Multi (RGB)

Quote from: PikachuWarrior on 06/04/2012, 12:53 AMValis is great

X68K Valis II has beautiful graphics and amazing music, but the control is so horrendous it kinda ruins the game in all honesty. Still strangely fun to to play once you adapt to the shitastic controls. Seriously this game must have some of the worst controls ever. Even the MSX version controls better.

PikachuWarrior · 06/04/2012, 01:54 AM

i only have the genesis version to compare. probably my favorite genesis title (didn't have the rpgs to compare back then)

Yeah, all CRTs were Wegas at that time. The Grand Wegas are rear projectors. The model number is 34XBR960.

Joe Redifer · 06/04/2012, 02:55 AM

Zeta's new TV is the Sony KV-34XBR960. I used to have one myself. It's 1080i native but also does 540p. It zooms that in a bit and you get 480p displayed in true progressive fashion. There are scanlines in 480p mode. 240p is displayed as 480i. I hated carrying that TV anywhere, I had to use BOTH hands. It was ridiculous. I eventually got a nice backpack I could fit it into, though, and soon I would bike with it to my friend's house, use it there for a while and bike back with it.

Do you have the battery pack for it?

No big, just make sure you have about 90psi in the rear tire.

Joe Redifer · 06/04/2012, 06:03 AM

Exactly. No biggie. Granted I'd have to have 5 guys riding beside me to keep it up and then a bunch of guys riding beside them to make sure they didn't lose their balance but otherwise it was easy.

And yes, that TV runs on 2 "C" batteries.

That is just a travelmate case. I wonder if they make a portable digital convertor?

Turns out he still hasn't sold it, and he just wants someone to pick it up. Might have to run out and snag it. I'll post pics later.

This might make for a good TV for one of our gamer gatherings yes? There are also a couple other sales on cl for sony wega TVs. What do you think Matti?
