10 foot heavy duty phone cord
Playstation breakout box with AV and svideo plugs but you can still plus an AV cable into it
PS2 HD/Net adapter
Wavebird reciever
Earthworm Jim for GG in clamshell

Total damage $8.66 and the phone cord I went for was $3. :mrgreen:

Now I need to find a orphaned wavebird controller.

Very Nice Finds!
The AV PSX adaptor is especially a good catch. Besides an easier plugin for the Lightgun right at the console, I use my older grey AV adaptor for Component out to the HD and at the same time a Composite connection to a small LCD. The weird thing is the AV adaptor I have was designed for the PS1 which only puts out SVideo and Composite. Luckily it has all the pins inside, 480p works just fine with the PS2.

The AV adaptor is unique in allowing a simultaneous Component and Composite Connection for the PS2 and PS3.

@ Demented Collector - :shock: Great Finds on the DC Rarities! I tried Feet of Fury, programing and burning a custom music CD looked to be a pain though. Maybe post a review with screenshots of Para Para?


:shock: Whoa! This is a very very nice find! I wonder if maracas could be code in?

This is actually an illegally made game by our friends over in China. It's a copy of the Konami arcade and PS2 game Para Para Paradise. The Dreamcast version uses MPEG FMV (pretty good quality too) ripped from Japanese Para Para dancing DVDs with the game graphics overlaid on top. The game controller to is a copy of the Konami one and is of a very high standard and just as good as the official Konami one for PS2.

Animal Crossing (for the lady)
Super Mario Galaxy
Castle Shikigami 3 ($5 cib? Fuck yes, I was about to spend $65 on the 360 ver)
Ultimate Shooting Collection ($10? Another fuck yes)

Now I'm trying to pick between Final Soldier, Gleylancer, or Sin & Punishment on the VC. Any suggestions?

Did you buy one with Gamecube compatibity? Some Wii games can use Gamecube controllers. Not sure if you read my Wii Thread, but a good remake of Sin an Punishment exists on the Wii. Wait till you discover the Mayflash Adaptor.

:shock: Very Nice! Just look at that NES image! If my HD CRT ever dies and I get to a point that I can no longer find a HD CRT, Plasma looks to be the way to go!

You mean on the TV or on the image? Because the image fits fine.

@CRTGamer: And yes, definitely. :P I compared that plasma with alot of newer LED TV's and they couldn't stand up to it. The picture quality is just unmatched even if it is an older technology, and it tracks motion SO much better.

You must have a crappy one, because burn in hasn't been an issue on higher end plasmas for a long time. My Panasonic doesn't have any for instance.

i havent owned one in years the one i did own was about 2 years ago it wat a hitatchi 58" one morning went to turn it on got sound and no picture i dont care if it was a crappy model or what ever the cash i paid for it and it just died on me like that about a year later F that never going plasma again

most the burn ins was from on screen indicators that didnt go no where during my long games session for example the Borderlands compass and health and such always burned in if i played it to long never failed......granted they would fade out after a day and wernt visible when watching or doing any thing else you could only see it on a plain black screen

but ya all in all my plasma experiences were rather bad and refuse to ever own one again
