May Pickups

[Hesch]

I haven't posted in a while, so I'm gonna kick it off with some stuff I've gotten this year.

Apologies about image sizes, I haven't done this in forever, and don't remember how to trick MediaFire into doing what I want.

A friend dug these out of her dead father's house. She had no interest in em, so I got all this for free! Most boxes are complete. The only game I got with those boxes was Lagoon...which is fine because I had all the others. And these boxes are in amazing shape. Super clean, very little damage other than what you can see.


This, I actually picked up back in March, right before this whole Covid nonsense really kicked off bad. Came with 1 controller, and I picked up the two games pictured


And THIS...I just got this yesterday. It powers on, but isn't functional yet. But I've got 2 friends of a friend that do pinball repair/refurb in their spare time, so it shouldn't be too bad to get it up and working. Only paid $175 for it, and my goal is to get it working so I can flip it and use the funds to build a virtual pinball table. I've already got a PC built and I've started on the software..and holy hell, this is the most difficult software setup I've ever had to learn.


Not pictured: A Panasonic FZ-1 3D0 I got for Xmas (like I said, I haven't posted in forever), and a big pile of games from the same friend I got the boxes from.

That MM1 box is a serious score!

Because snailmail seems to be stuck in glue, I'll post stuff I've ordered.

Today I ordered (all for PlayStation 4):
- Megaman Legacy Collection (with the Mega Man and E-Tank).
- Megaman Legacy Collection 2
- Megaman Legacy X Collection (Asian Version)
- Megaman Legacy X Collection 2 (Asian Version)
- Megaman Legacy X Collection 1+2 (Probably would have not ordered if had found (realized existence of) the individual Asian Versions earlier)
- Megaman Legacy Z/ZX Collection

Ahh did you pick up the collector's edition? I heard that's the only way to get a physical version of Classic Legacy Collection 2. I've thought about buying it multiple times but haven't bit the bullet, even though it comes out to 19 games.

On Switch I think that's correct.  PS4, everything is on disk on all releases.

Of these only Megaman Legacy Collection 1 is Special/Collector's Edition.
I don't think Megaman Legacy Collection 2 (Nor the others) had Special/Collector's Edition (Japan has some kind of)
All should have discs as these are for Playstation 4 (Same goes for Xbox One as far as I know) Meaning I have double discs of Megaman Legacy X Collection and Megaman Legacy X Collection 2.

For Nintendo Switch the situation is worse.
Only way to get physical copy of Megaman Legacy Collection 2 is to get Japanese copy of Megaman Legacy Collection 1+2 and there is no way to get physical copy of Megaman Legacy X Collection 2
Rockman & Rockman X 5-in-1 Box Set for Switch comes with physical copy, so I ordered it.

Here's my latest, most exciting pickup in a long time. This is an 8x8 component matrix (8 inputs, 8 outputs). Any number of inputs can be directed to any number of outputs.
I got this for honestly next to nothing because it didn't have the remote. So I also picked up a Universal Remote Control (MX-900). Now I have it programmed to control all 3 tvs, a soundbar, the Framemeister, and the matrix.

(The setup seen in the pictures is more or less temporary. I don't have space yet to put everything where I want it.)

[TDIRunner]

You can't post a picture of a matrix switcher without a picture of the back.  I'm pretty sure that's state law.  We like seeing pictures of the back of switchers. 

[Hesch]

That thing's a whole lot nicer looking than the Crestron I have...If I hadn't preordered the polymega, I'd be tempted to try and get one of those

That is one full backside.

That's a nice switcher.  I haven't seen a matrix switcher with RCA jacks before.  It would be nice to have either composite or s-video though.  The front is a heck of a lot nicer than the commercial grade, TV station look of the one I use.

You could probably use this as composite switcher by just using let say the green video inputs/outputs, and s-video by splitting s-video in to 2 RCAs and then using green and red connectors.

That is correct with the composite. Not sure about the s-video. I didn’t know that was possible. 

My N64 is modded for RGB. And nearly ever other retro console I can think of has native RGB output (HD Retrovision cables are used in this case). Except of course the NES which I plan to get modded.

S-video is 2 video signals (chroma and luma) and you could separate it in to 2 RCAs with (custom?) female s-video to 2 male RCAs -cable, and them back after the switcher with 2 female RCAs to male s-video cable (again probably custom).
