The other kinda dirty one smells like an old automotive repair shop phone.

It's funny, I immediately knew EXACTLY the smell you are describing. Maybe it was the old automotive repair shop Dreamcast!

I was watching a random Youtube video that Youtube suggested... then I heard few sentences that addad up to:

Then checked the picture and the items matched.

Funny how Youtube directs one.

There's already an internal N64 HDMI mod

Yeah, but it's impossible to get as a kit, and it's a BITCH to install.

Goodwill find from yesterday:

[TDIRunner]

That's a nice Goodwill find.   

But of course, the big questions is, did they know what they had? 

[sheep2001]

Wow! Darius from goodwill?!?!  Awesome find.

[Hesch]

They were asking $176 for it. But I figure I've got well over 2-250 worth of games alone. And I do need a new saturn since my CD drive randomly decided to take a sabatical

[RealPlumpBox]

Since Darius is a "terrible" game ill take it off your hands for ya!

I'll take that into consideration there, buddy 

What's even more amazing is that most of the boxes aren't broken at all. I think the only 2 games that have damage are the only 2 'not great' games in there. Criticom and Robotica or w/e

Pretty interesting weekend. Picked up half a dozen good strategy guides for old RPGs from Half price books because of their 20% off sale, a Sonic Pocket Adventure for my NGPC, a Virtual Boy and 4 games, but biggest of all, one of these babies:



It'll get here on tuesday, and the BNC to RCA adapters will be here...well they're being shipped by USPS, so sometime this year hopefully. I'm trying to source some cheap RCA Y adapters with the 2 female connectors. This thing uses Phoenix connectors for the audio, so I have to splice the female RCA into the phoenix screw terminals for audio.

nice find. I am still using the powered pelican switched for composite, component and s-video with hdmi scalers and distribution blocks.

Nice fine with the switch box.  I've considered getting one of those, but I currently have all of my switch boxes covered.  I always figured that if they ever start to give me trouble, I would replace them with this type of unit. 

One thing I've never understood is how you hook the audio up to those.  What kind of adapter do you need for that?  I know Wiggy has one of these switchers too.  Do any of you have a picture of what that looks like?

It's the blue connectors at the bottom. They're called phoenix connectors. You have to take a female RCA cable, strip the ends, and then connect it to the L/R and Ground planes on the screw terminals. RCA Y-splitters and extension cables are perfect for this. Just gotta find one that's cheap enough and feasible.

Yeah, I knew they connected to the bottom part, I was just  curious about how it all looked when it was hooked up.
