April 2017 Pickups!
Hesch:
I've actually seen more of those than the CDX. There's 2-3 of those for sale within an hour of me. I keep tossing around the idea of getting one, but then my 32x would be out of luck. I may get it to be one of my shelf display units after I move.
Speaking of which, maybe I should go ahead and upload pics of my old game room, since it doesn't even exist anymore....hmm
Megatron:
This thing actually works pretty well with the 32x. It even works with 32x CD, although multi-disc games are a problem because the unit covers the disc door. You would need tweezers or something to change discs. Not ideal. But regular 32x games play fine.
Megatron:
I know it's Easter, but I legitimately thought it may be Christmas for a minute.
I (grumpily) went in to my office at around 7 this morning to try and get some stuff done so I wouldn't have so much on Monday. On my way, I passed by a garage sale. On a whim, I stopped. I found THESE in a box for $30!!! Not each, just $30 for the set.
It was a younger guy, probably early 20s, who was selling this "out of date games" stuff. He marked it low because none of the wires could be found and couldn't be tested. I asked him if he was sure, and even mentioned that some of these were "worth a little more" than he was asking. He said he didn't really care. "They were in a closet." With that, I relived him of his burden. ;D
TDIRunner:
Nice pickup on the Jag. Good luck with it all working once you get the cables and everything you need. Remember, that for a Jag to power on, you need both a game and a controller plugged in, otherwise, it won't power on at all. Some people think they are broken, but they just don't have everything hooked up. And make sure your power supply is correct, or you will fry the board. Sorry if that is stuff you already know, but it's worth saying it to potentially save a chip.
Also, your timing is good because the new SD based flash cart for the Jaguar is probably less than six months away. ;)
Megatron:
I didn't know that about the controller needing to be plugged in. Not that I imagine it wouldn't be, but it's definitely good to know.
I actually went on eBay and ordered OEM rf cable and ac adapter. I did the same thing for the JVC X'Eye. I'm pretty paranoid when it comes to power adapters.
And I will definitely be getting that Jag Everdrive. The one game I want a physical copy of (Alien vs Predator) I just found on pricecharting store for the game, manual and overlays for $35. I'm actually really looking forward to playing this thing.
