I'm very happy about what I found this late afternoon so I already tossed it in the smiles thread, but it probably should have been here.
$45 got a barely touched FC Mobile 88 with all the parts and included is a modern Super Games 500in1 cart for it. It's a portable Famicom and the clone finally isn't NOAC crap but it looks/sounds nice as running it on my real hardware. Oddly disliked my Castlevania3 FC cart but all my others work so maybe I need to test it on my Retron5 and hope it's not dead. :\
Crazy good handheld, most pleased I've ever been with non-emulation based(R5) cloned hardware. None of the classic failings of bad audio, bad colors, gfx issues, or other stupidity of poor workmanship.

Just keep it, the PS3 is on its way out, Sony doesnt care anymore, also i use my PS3 everyday for streaming and video files.Thierry Henry wrote:I know right.samsonlonghair wrote:STARgate! What is the world coming to when we can't trust pirates to accurately represent their products?

It's "Dragoon", darnit!
Got me a great deal on a PS3. I'm thinking I'll pass this one on to my nephew.
Paid $90 for it. The deal is sweeter as I was expecting the standard black 12GB model, as indicated per the box. Inside the inner box though was something better. So not sure whether to "be a good citizen" and return it or just keep quiet.
500GB hard drive in there.

Re: Video Game "Look what I found"
Found a loose GG Halley Wars cart. It was full of grime and whatever else. Cleaned it up good. Works fine now.

Gaming related cables,


Sweet Home for the Famicom.
Gonna grab the translation patch for this and pop it in the Retron 5.

Emio "NES Advantage" The Edge Joystick - $29.00/ $33.98 shipped Amazon
This is the obscure that had a limited run at Best Buy, sold out on same day release as the launch NES Classic PlugNPlay. A repackage Wii Classic Controller that was not quality checked with the NES Classic and did not work. Though every store has recall it still works on the Wii and WiiU as a Classic Controller.
Emio has since came out with an NES Classic Adapter. However due to the "Safety" Recall lockout still in the store systems, no store as of yet carry the newer packages. Suspect right after Christmas there might be some returns which of course will immediately be processed as Recall.
Get with your local Best Buy Returns Desk now to hold the rare Emio Joystick for any Christmas returns. Grab it before the store sends the product back due to mandated Factory Recall.
The Arcade Stick is very solid built so much better then the original NES Advantage. It has real limit switches inside that give tatical click feedback. Mine thru Amazon purchase came with the mysterious NES Classic adapter and I found out what it does to the movement control. An interesting unique game play option for Rayman Origins, I tested out various Wii Games.

When The Edge Joystick appeared, it was seen only at Best Buy stores in very limited quantities. The Edge Gamepad was only available at Walmart, also in limited quantities. Gamestop has the Edge Joystick as "Not Available" on their website, questionable if any stores ever received any during the initial run. Both Emio controllers were put on store shelves the same day as the launch of NES Classic consoles. A line of people at every location with tickets handed out; everything sold out upon store opening!
Even with the NES Classic Adapter discovered in my recent shipment, questionable if The Edge Joystick will make it back to retail stores due to the Recall Lockout. This is a repeat history of sorts of the NES console trying to break into the store shelves after the game console crash decades ago. The building of the stores trust to carry the recalled product again. Right now stores that list both the Edge Joystick and Edge Gamepad are still locked "Not Available Recall"; maybe due to some might get returned after Christmas?
Time will tell if Emio can get these back in the store shelves, for now get it while you can just in case
I bought my Edge Joystick from a 3rd party seller at Amazon; interesting the package was inside a perfect sized shipping box. Also in the shipping box was a Emio certificate for 10% off the next order, evidence this was bought directly from the Emio store website. Almost if that 3rd party seller has an inside connection for the fixed package? If I ever do get an NES Classic, I'll give that adapter a test. With the issues of some Dpad controlled games on the Wii, maybe still might have problems on the NES Classic?

So much enthusiasm for this thing, repeatedly.
Just joking. You sold me on it a week or so ago.
I read your posts and decided to order one. Should be here soon.

Re: Video Game "Look what I found"
Everyday day for years now going to flea markets, thrifts and other oddball spots I've tried and never found that stupid cable for Gamecube. I can't pay that $200 extortion level cost for a cable. :\ Lucky find there, seriously.
Also same with Halley Wars, got this months ago and it's a true gem of a shooter on GG.

Check the plastic gears inside the SegaCD. Something is wrong there. Grinding is never a good sign.
