I said I can play, I didn't say I will.

Just ordered these



I finally have everything to play the game.

I was actually only missing the claws and the red, green, blue and white pieces, so I have now extra yellow (and bit roughed up blue) piece and spare set of trays.

Awesome.

R.O.B. was my favorite Brawl character, they're incredibly hard to find here, sadly. And when you find one they're stupidly expensive.

Yeah I got mine in Action Set (or something similarly named) few years back.
It came with console + Duck Hunt + Gray Zapper + Gyromite + R.O.B + spinner+ spinners + nesessary leads.

Extremely jelous Arseen! Awesome stuff.

Got these yesterday. Each PSP had an issue with it.

1) Power Input had a broken prong. No battery or battery door.
2) Unspecified issue with the UMD Tray. No memory stick.
3) Originally thought to be an issue with the screen. However, a new screen was put in, and it still doesn't operate correctly.

The third one, the PSP Slim, I got with the old screen, but none of them came with a charger or game, so I cannot test them to see what exactly is the issue wth 2 or 3. I did replace the power input from the first one with the power input with the second, as well as the battery and door. So now the first one should work without any problems (though I can't test it).

This is the first time I've ever tried my hands on repairing a handheld, or a video game machine of any kind. I'm eager to see if what I did for the first one worked. And once I am able to more accurately diagnose the issues with the other two, maybe you guys can help me fix them?

Sorry for the delays. but, I got Final Fantasy IV Easy Type.

Not the easiest portable to repair, but totally doable.  Just be careful with the ribbon cables.  That seems to be the first issue that repair noobs run into.  They are easy to tear

Sorry for the delays. but, I got Final Fantasy IV Easy Type.

Wait, doesn't that effectively make it the US version of FF2?

It's for the Japanese Label, Manual and Box, which he collects.

I can confirm that the repair to the first PSP was a complete success! I now have a working PSP.

The Slim seems to have an issue with the display. The screen turns on, and the audio works, but the screen remains black. I know it's not the screen, because the screen was already replaced. I'll have to open it up and see if I notice anything unusual.

As for the other PSP Fat, it now has the charge issue (since I switched the power inputs), which is a simple fix as long as I can get the part. However, it doesn't seem to read UMDs at all. The disks don't even spin. It doesn't register the UMD, and I can only guess as to why for now.

I had a similar problem with my PSP slim, every now and again the game would stop, there was a little switch on the inside of the UMD reader which detects if a disc is in or not, I just pushed it in and glued it in place, games work every time now!
Only problem now is it always thinks you have a game in, not sure how that'll affect the laser or anything in the long run...

Ristar via eBay ~20 €
Lost Vikings from a local video game store for 4 €, after I took in some surplus games for exchange

Castlevania and Darkwing Duck I had previously but I printed new label / etiquette for them. DWD label thanks to Arseen, it came out really well  New Generation etiquette was just torn otherwise.

[Arseen]

Ollos hyvä.

Normally I don't get digital only games, but last Friday I got Mafia II on Steam for free just for voting in the Golden Joystick Awards (there was a choice between Mafia II and Civilization V and I don't like strategy games).

Found a decent Sega Genesis lot on kijiji for $60



Model 1 Console with Hookups
1 3-button Controller
1 3 Button Arcade Stick
1 6 Button Arcade Stick

Most of the games are compete:

Sonic 1 (Not for Resale)
Altered Beast
Golden Axe
Streets of Rage
TMNT: Hyperstone Heist
Shadow Blasters
Spider Man / Xmen
NHL Hockey
Spiderman
Kid Khamelion
Thunderforce II

I don't have a Genesis and only had Sonic 2 before this so it's a pretty good starter collection

Wind Waker HD
Pokemon X
aaaaand a 32GB card for my Vita.

The Wind Waker and Pokemon were their standard prices, naturally.
The 32GB Vita card was only $45 thanks to a promotion Best Buy had going.
I haven't gotten around to it yet, but I'll probably trade in the 4GB card that was in my Vita when I bought for $5 credit toward something else.
