My new emulation cabinet

Fri May 11, 2012 10:13 PM

Fair warning - link and picture heavy.

It's finally almost finished. There are a few changes I still want to make and I didn't exactly build it myself but I love it anyway. I really like the strand of rope light around the LCD. Great for flair and in the dark it just looks cool(to me anyway). ;)

The Envision LCD will be swapped for a widescreen LCD HDTV probably in the next month or two after my vacation. That way I can add my Playstation 3, Nintendo64 with Z64 and 3DO systems to the cabinet in the shelving below.

My main cabinet:
Xtension Arcade Cabinet For The X-Arcade Tankstick

GP2X / GP32 consoles available

Sun Apr 8, 2012 5:15 PM

GP2X sold. GP32 has 4 hours left.
-----------------------------------------------

I bought these 2 consoles about a month ago as a package deal and... they sat there. I thought I would be all nostalgic about getting my hands on a GP2X again but I just didn't think twice about it once I had it. This is not to say the consoles are horrible... far from it. They are excellent emulation devices but I'm just not interested anymore.

I put them up on eBay hoping I can get most of my investment back(or more if I'm lucky - we'll see).

Here's a shot at buying these gems. I have them listed as US only but let me know if you're out of the country and have an interest. We can try and work something out.

Best Flight Stick for Star Wars? (MAME)

Sat Mar 31, 2012 9:35 AM

I currently have one of these but it is a USB model. It just doesn't cut it playing Star Wars on MAME.

I am hoping someone has a flight stick option for MAME in general and specifically so I can play Star Wars. Something that auto-centers and is sensitive enough to play well.

What do you use?

When did shipping fees get so high?

Fri Jan 20, 2012 7:20 AM

I sell things here and there at auction but it's been a while. I cannot believe the USPS fees these days.

I sold a PSP and shipped it for the $10 I quoted. It came to $9.88 going First Class and with delivery confirmation.

I also sold a lot of Intellivision games. I figured these things are not heavy and since they're "player" carts and not "collection" carts it didn't matter when they got there. So I charged $7 shipping. Cost me $10.21 to ship PARCEL POST. I actually lost $2 on this auction plus the fees from PayPal and eBay so closer to $3.

That's just nuts. They also mentioned while I was there that the stamps are going up AGAIN.

What do you all do for shipping? How does FedEx and UPS compare for fees? It's at the point that it's not worth selling something for less than $20 these days on eBay.

NES Shell

Sun Oct 23, 2011 9:51 AM

I'm looking for a couple of dead NES toaster systems - specifically the shells - for a PC project I recently acquired. Would like to get 2-3 so that I can have backups in case I make a cutting error.

Not really interested in breaking the bank here but if someone here has a few dead systems they'd like to get rid of cheap send me a message. :)
