I found a PSX DVR for cheap, questions inside

[Toktogul]

Awesome dude, if only that thing wouldnt cost a fortune to ship lol super jealous. Btw what saturn arcade stick is that in the bottom left I never seen that one before. Does it have micro switches?

i got 2 of those for 380 yens each (4$). they are street fighter alpha 2 official fighting sticks for the Saturn. i got no clue what's inside; but it like the feeling of it. I have the neogeo official sticks and i would say, i prefer the saturn to it.

I'm actually interested in one of these mainly for the recording options.. I hope you win the second DVR!!

Edit: BTW nice ToX FF XIII-2 PS3 slim in the background!!!

I won it!!!!! ( 2nd console) woot!!! I guess ill be selling one of the 2 hehe.

I have one of these as well. I figured out how to use the DVR, but I can't figure out how to use the DVD burner. I can get to the menu where you choose what progams you want on the DVD, then you choose a menu style. It starts up, and the little red "DVD burning" indicator on the front comes on, but then I get some kind of error message and nothing gets burned onto the DVD. I have no clue how to read Japanese, so I'm at a loss as to what is wrong.

Have you ever used the burner? Do you know how to get it to work? I'd appreciate any info you have. Thanks.

I've never used it. I have 2 now, i'll record some games and try burning tomorrow. I''lll let you know.

BTW, i love the 5500 model, which model do you have?

[hashiriya1]

these are pretty rare if you can get one under a $100 do it.

They're not really that rare. There is always an abundance of them at HARD OFF and you can also get them pretty cheap on Yahoo Auctions. They pretty much all go for less than 100 bucks. In a lot of cases, they're cheaper than PS2s.

I have the 5100 in the limited edition silver color.

[Toktogul]

wow silver edition. ive never seen it. i bought the dvd, ill be trying tonight. i hope it works hahah

[metaridley001]

Yeah, for some reason only the 5100 was offered in silver instead of white. I actually got it from a US seller on ebay, so I didn't have to pay through the nose for shipping from Japan.

[Toktogul]

allright, i was able to burn a cd very easily. it took 6min to burn a 1go movie. that was fast and easy

let me know if you want me to guide u through the process

[metaridley001]

If you could, I would be extremely grateful. Like I said, I don't understand a lick of Japanese, so I can't figure out what I am doing wrong. I'll try to post a picture of the error message I keep getting if that would be helpful.
