I ran out so I bought some more

 

[angelfly]

My 3DS final arrived.

Along with a case, screen protector, and a cleaning cloth.

As for games I ordered SSFIV and RR but RR was out of stock so it probably won't arrive until next week.

And as seen in the picture I also picked up the Dreamcast Collection (mainly for SC5).

I posted this in the arcade stick thread, but I got a new TE Stick!



Just a simple bubbletop mod and some new buttons right now.

After this happened when I loaned my old stick to a friend.

 

[MarshMellow96]

Sheeeeeeit!

What happened?

 

[Raife]

Sheeeeeeit!

What happened?

I think someone got a little salty after they lost some money or something. My friend said he'd cover the money if the guy that broke it doesn't pay me back. I was shocked. I don't think I have the muscles to actually break a TE stick. The things are built like tanks.

CAVE artbooks <3

new buds

 

[CaseyTappy]

Love the Cave Art books !

 

[robot]

Hows the Mushihimesama Futari artbook? I just ordered it from the Cave shop.

 

[Vox-Pop]

Just started undoing my luggage, worth a post in the pickup thread. Oh and hey MarkMan, an arcade stick (ultra not-rare, though never had one)! <3

nice haul.

Got my SLG3000 in the mail yesterday. Works great with the consoles my XRGB-3 doesn't play nicely with (PCE, Neo Geo).

Sorry for the crappy comparison pictures. Pictures taken with an iPhone 4, roughly 6 inches away from a 1080P Bravia. With the naked eye the difference is night and day.

That's really cool. Is it VGA only though?

 

[Kobiekun]

Yes, VGA only.

The setup you're seeing is: PC-Engine (via RGB cable) > XRGB-3 (via VGA cable) > SLG3000 (via VGA cable) > TV

The XRGB-3 is in B0 mode, which means it is merely upscaling and not generating scanlines. Both my PCE and Neo Geo don't play well with the XRGB-3 in B1 mode (the scanline generating mode). A lot of SLG3000 users are hooking up there older systems to eBay-grade VGA converters which in turn feed the SLG3000 and are getting great results. It doesn't necessarily replace my XRGB-3, but whereas the XRGB-3 cost me ~$450 the SLG3000 was $75 shipped.

Works perfectly and feels like it's never been used.

Damn, I'm going to my Goodwill this weekend.

 

[JEKKI]

earlier today I told myself that I would go hang out in Hollywood unless my copy of Radiant Historia comes in the mail.

I guess I am going to stay in tonite...

Order some. You owe it to yourself.

 

[BannedEpisode]

I'm very impressed with the quality of the Club Nintendo carry bag. When I get my 3DS it will have a very nice home.

 

[LiK]

Hows the Mushihimesama Futari artbook? I just ordered it from the Cave shop.

both artbooks are excellent. it has pretty much all the official art, promo art and concept sketches etc. very high quality on good quality paper. very impressed. hope to see them release more from their other games.

Jealous. I'm still shooting with the T1i.

[alphaNoid]

Jealous. I'm still shooting with the T1i.

T1i is still a great body, I was using an XSi but simply outgrew both the size and low light/speed of the Rebel series. I highly considered the T3i which launches soon, but ultimately got a smokin' deal on a 7D so I took the plunge.

The 7D + the 24-70 2.8L glass is so heavy lol. I'm going to need to hit the gym in order to carry this gear around haha.

 

[Trouser Payload]

Not the most auspicious of inaugural finds posts now my account's finally active, but I do love me a PSP game.

Traded a couple games I couldn't sell on ebay at Game for:
Space Invaders Evolution second hand $AUS10
Sega Rally (new, but marked as second hand) $AUS10
World Series Of Poker Tournament Of Champions 2007 Excessively Long Title Edition second hand $AUS5

and yesterday, PSP DoA Paradise for $AUS15 new.. the only other copy in the store was marked at $45.

I needs it :

 

[Yes Boss!]

Magadheera blu-ray. Yay!

 

[Rich!]

Picked up these.

Building up my Chris Morris collection. Jam will be next.

Eternal Darkness (no box) - £2
Pokemon Black - £25
Brass Eye - £3
Chrono Trigger (lost my old copy while on holiday. gahh) - £11

Altogether...£41. Not bad. Not buying anything else until the 3DS comes out (which coincidentally, I've already paid for completely. heh).

oooh, how is this? I might have to pick it up.

It sounds great! A definite must buy for fans of classic Sega FM arcade tunes. Btw, volume 2 came out this past Monday.

whoa, so if i get a cheap upconverter (from 240i to vga) i could put it in between the nes and the slg3000 and get scanlines that way? for a fraction of the price of an xrgb-3? the only question is: what upconverter is there that takes composite and outputs to vga? from what i understand, the hd box pro doesn't take composite or 240i signals. shame, it'd be super cheap otherwise. do you KNOW of any cheap upconverter that could sit in between a 240i source and the slg3000?

Have seen this stuff a few times down at Whole foods. I need to try some

I really want to jump in, but all this hardware talk has me confused. Up conversion and lots of acronyms does not compute. I want make sure I have this straight. The setup posted above is to upscale older systems to get better resolutions out of HDTV's correct? So in theory something like this could work for say a ps1? I recently tried hooking up my ps1 and there was just no point in the standard RGB as the picture was all jumpy. I would be really interested in learning how to do this. any help would be appreciated.

 

[drugstore_cowboy]

I think it's trying to get the look of old 240p games on CRT from a HDTV, adding scanlines and such.

tbh I'd not bother pissing around and just get a CRT.

the slg3000 only takes a 480p vga signal, adds scanlines and then outputs once again at 480p vga. it doesn't upscale. probably not what you're looking for. you can't get "better resolutions" out of hdtvs. whatever that means. if you're talking about ps1 games primarily you're looking for a scaler, you probably don't want scanlines. a VERY good introduction to this sort of thing is here: http://retrogaming.hazard-city.de/ the site also reviews countless scalers (and lined doublers etc.) at different price ranges.

 

[blizzardjesus]

I have to wonder... Am I one of the only folks on GAF to pick up Im@s2? XD

If i could play it on a US 360, I would.

 

[Speevy]

I'm too tired right now to snap pictures of my TV screen, but here are some of my retail pick-ups.

Not pictured: Modnation Racers (digital), Pixeljunk Shooter 2, Vagrant Story

Don't ask me why they sent me a basketball game. I've never bought one of those in my entire life.

These are all first-time plays for me, so I'm excited to catch up.
