Video Game "Look what I found"

[J T]

bought these PS2 sealed games at my local Toys R' Us today. $5.00 each even.

Nice, and this is a deal others can probably find too. I've seen most of those games at Fred Meyer for $10 regular, and they often publish a $5 off coupon for games in their weekly ad. Mostly good games there, so I would recommend others look for them.

That blue debug station is a pretty sweet rarity. What an odd thing to find.

I found a blue debug station PS1 at my local Swap Meet for only 10 bux. Now I know you don't see these out in the wild so I was pretty excited. I don't know if it works yet as it is PAL region and I don't wanna blow up the power supply. I have a few spare PS1's that Im going to use to swap the internal power supply. Now I only have to find a way to connect this to a display that can input PAL sources.

Wow! There is none, really, trust me, if you want I'll take that NTSC headache off your hands!

Wrong, Samsung actually manufactured a TV for America that was designed to take every known common input, Scart/RGB, AV/RCA, S-Video, Component, VGA and DVI (Sorry but no native HDMI so you'll have to use an HDMI to DVI adapter) and accepts signals from all currently known Analog and Digital standards meaning it's 100% Pal, NTSC, Secam etc... etc.... compatible.

Here's a link to the Samsung display I'm talking about:

As for the power supply then yes, you can simply swap the internal power supply from an American PS1 into it as long as it's in the same model series.

I was pulling his leg on that, we've been PM'n about it. The Developers PS1 is Region free and hiphophead34 has tested it already with Japanese Discs and CDR's, works great!

Haha, gotcha, I just like to tell people about that SyncMaster set as it's one of the coolest TV's ever.

Oooh sexy. I want one of the blue or blue/green units just because I love the color. I wonder if there's a vinyl due in that color. I certainly have enough PS1s to have a go.

Make sure you have everything connected correctly and the AV Cable is hooked up to the output on the 32X!

Pics and some other info on the help forums would be appreciated and could help us see what was wrong. Also the ribbon cables inside 32X units tend to become dislodged over time and if that's happened a quick re-connect should clear it all up no problem.

I do have it hooked up properly, it outputs the video to my TV, it's just a bit off. Colors coming out wrong, that kind of thing, and it changes when I wiggle cable, indicating that it is in fact that cable.

However, I'm not sure what the symptoms of the ribbon cable problem are, so that could in fact be the problem, could that cause color problems, or a lack of audio? And assuming that is the problem, does the 32x require any special tools to open?

Does the picture have a greenish or yellowish tint to it? I'm wondering because I had the same trouble with the video cable from my 32X, too. I had to wiggle and play around with the cord to get the correct colors to display. They're just cheap cables, I think.

Those are the exact symptoms that I had before I fixed the ribbon cable inside of my 32X. All you'll need to open it is a standard Phillips screwdriver.

just got a huge box in the mail from ebay containing around 40 back issues of game players and ultra game players from 1993-1997. SO EXCITED.

I was watching an auction for Bulk Slash on eBay when I decided to check Play-Asia for the hell of it. They had the game in stock! With shipping it was less than what the eBay auction could have ended at (if no one else bid). So I placed an order, got a confirmation number and refreshed the product page for the hell of it. The status switched from "add to cart" to "out of stock/out of print". I got the only copy they had in stock. LOL.
