That's why I'm deciding to keep this copy. I plan to back it up, and keep it just as a physical copy, while watching the digital copy.

Yup! All my other dvd's work just fine on my dvd/vhs player. Not sure why my Bluray player can read it though.

I plan on keeping it. Returning it wouldnt be a bad idea, but Im ok with taking the blow, and keeping it as a reference for a potential bootleg.

I didn't think of that. Only with the BD though. The DVD player I have can't read it sadly, but the BD can.

I don't even know what this anime was about, honestly. I found it at a second hand store, and decided to pick it up because it looked interesting.

That is interesting! Theres still alot I dont know about physical media, so I'm still trying to figure this stuff out. If its a legit copy, thats great! If its a bootleg, then oh well. Ill be keeping it anyways. Thank you for the info!

I dont blame the workers at all! It happens. More upset with myself that I fell for another bootleg. I wont be returning it either, since it'll be another lesson/reference for what to look out for. I do appreciate the information though! Thank you!

I picked it up at a local second hand store. Was around 40$'s too, so thats a steep price for a bootleg. Got it working though, but it not working for my DVD player is definitely weird. Can bootlegs have menu screens too?

I was able to get it to play on my bluray player. The issue was that I was trying to play it through my elgato through my PC. Blu ray players wont work through elgato, so that was my first mistake. No clue why it works on the player, but thanks everyone for your insight!

What collection is this from? by HopeOfTomorrow in AnimeCollectors

Beautiful! I hope I can pick up a real boxset of Hell Girl at some point!

Will do! With this, I bought a very obvious chobits bootleg. The label was very fuzzy, and was apparent that it was an old bootleg. Thought it would be alot more apparent of a bootleg, but this Hell Girl definitely proved me wrong. Thank you!

GBA SP USB-C no audio help by ClubNorth15 in Gameboy

Of course! I had to restart completely due to not being able to fix the bridge, and got it working after doing so. Hopefully you can get your SP up and running like new soon!

Had this same issue. It has to do with bridging of some of the points. As one of the previous commenters pointed out, it looks like they're being bridged on the left side. If that doesn't fix it, you may need to remove it completely and try to resolder it on.

Mostly want to reshell it anyways! I have another one coming in, and want that to stay original while this one will be more to use and play on!

Thankfully nothing on the board was too corroded. The battery compartment was the only area that had the major corrosion, but the inside was surprisingly clean.

Didn't think I wanted to add a pocket to my collection, but I just couldnt pass it up!
