@flojocabron,
Nice finds!


My stuff from a few days ago,


For the NES,


Image


Needs a bit of cleaning up, but otherwise this stick works fine.

Image


No idea what that (battery?) compartment is there for.

Image



FC Mobile II.
Quite finicky in which carts will work on it and which won't.


Image



An el-cheapo stick for the PS1.


Image


A couple of PS1 Flightsticks,


Image



and a nice PSOne with LCD screen add-on.

Some sweet finds. prices?

Don't use that Game Genie, it has a thicker connector compared to NES carts! Many a NES console ruined by that cheat cart due to pins being bent. I suspect the reason why the FC Mobile has issues with some games. I have that same portable and all my NES games work fine in it.

The PS1 Flightsticks are especially nice piece of gaming history and you found two of them! Though limited amount of PS1 games utilize the Flightstick before the duel shock became standard, I discovered with a couple of Mayflash adapters EVERY Gamecube and Wii Classic Controller game is compatible!

The second link in the Quote shows all the controls for the Wii Skycrawlers with the PS1 Flightstick. The perfect Wii Flight Sim that makes good use of the Duel Flightsticks, a perfect combination! :mrgreen:

Take a wild guess what games I'm discovering work with an obscure Flightstick. EVERY GAMECUBE GAME! So instead of just twenty seven PS1 games, the PSX SCPH1110 Flightstick works with additional hundreds of games, an undocumented discovery! In addition, a Mayflash PSX Classic Controller also works with the PS1 Flightstick. This allows any Classic Controller game to work with the huge duel handled Flightsticks!

A lot of buttons that need instant access while flying. Weapon Select and Fire, Throttle, Target Lock, look around views and even the Tactical maneuvers if desired. This emphasizes the strongest point of a Flight Stick over regular controllers.
1. Both hands are always on the Flight Controls to fly.
2. Fingers and Thumbs each have dedicated buttons to control.


Only two PS2 games make use of the Analog side of the PS1 Flightstick.

So the approximate equivalent in your currency:

-Game Genie $3
-honyu stick $8
-FC Mobile II $20 and some change
-PS1 stick $4
-Flightsticks $12 each
-PSOne complete in box, and LCD screen $35.

Good to know. Haven't used it yet. I'll tread carefully. :)

The guy I got it from had imported it via stoneagegamer a few years back. Said it was like that from day 1.
He didn't return it because of the kind of shipping cost to do so from here to the States.

Nice. It is a great game, and I just discovered that it was never released in Europe. (You learn something new on here every day!)

.....

This morning, I purchsed a complete copy of Fatal Frame III: The Tormented (PS2) from a pawn shop for $9. That is much more than its other PS2 games, but less than half of what that game fetches on eBay.

(I also picked up complete copies of Mini Ninjas (PS3) for $2 and The Testament of Sherlock Holmes (360) for $9. but those are not too far from their market prices.)
