Video Game "Look what I found"

[dedalusdedalus]

I found mine here as well. With a BBA adapter. ...it was a good day for NR!

Holy crap, where did you manage to find a BBA adapter AND Ikaruga?

[noiseredux]

see that "google custom search" box up in the top right corner? I use that a lot to find stuff that people have buried in the B/S/T forum. I got big-time lucky today!

Ah, smart man. I figured that you got lucky at a store or a garage sale.

Ziggy or Hobie can you post comparison pics?

Yay no hotlinking.

Looking at the link code, yeah, that might be the same image I found a few years ago. I only have carts with the adapter and without slapping both kinds on a scanner during the same scan, something might auto adjust and ruin a comparison.

[Ziggy]

As far as I can tell, there are no outward differences. You CAN tell by the weight, but I wouldn't rely on that alone. It weighs just under an once more with the adapter inside. But you can tell by looking at the pins. Comparing the weight to another cart just confirms it.

It's pretty hard to tell, but the printing of the purple on the label is a little different color too. I have 2 adapter Gyromite carts, but no normal one and I can't remember which type is more blue and which more purple. It's hard to tell though.

You're right. The ROB robot icon in the lower left corner is definitely a different shade of purple. I have two other copies that don't have adapters, so I just compared it. Still, I think the easiest way to identify it is by looking at the pins.

Without opening the cart? Ziggy or Hobie can you post comparison pics?

Edit
Found this:

I could try and get a comparison picture of the label for you. Also, I'll try and get a good comparison of the pins, too. But be warned, my camera sucks, so I make no promises. Hopefully I'll be able to scan the labels nicely though.
