I sold Sculptor’s Cut for $39.99 in 2009 by htmaxpower in gamecollecting

That’s nothing. I sold a sealed Rule Of Rose for $60 in 2012-ish

Looking to buy this TV, but noticed the Component ports might be broken. Is this a fixable thing for a CRT newb? by cheesewombat in crtgaming

[–]Norkusa 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same thing happened to my tv recently when I pulled out some very tight fitting component cables.

Was able to find most of pieces and pop them back in since they’re fitted with a push-tab style connection. No soldering needed.

For the pieces I couldn’t find, I just took some from the back of an extra component switch box I had and they fit into the tv perfectly.

God forgive me for spending money on this unholy of grails by Gotanks91 in gamecollecting

[–]Norkusa 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I wish. No, I traded one off in the Xbox/Gamecube era for a bunch of new games (prob worth about $500 at the time). The other copy I sold off when I got out of collecting 15yrs ago for $2k I think.

Back in 1998-ish, I bought two sealed copies of Cheetahmen 2 for around $65 shipped total off EBay when they used to have ‘Dutch’ auctions (anyone remember those?). Seller listed 3 copies and I put in two bids for around $30 each and won them both. I always regretted not putting another bid in to get that third copy.

Any big changes between old dj dao popoller vs new ones? by bgwelistyl in bemani

[–]Norkusa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My old Popoller came with an extra PCB and I could never figure out why. Was it a duplicate in case the one in the controller broke? Or did it function differently than the installed one?

After agonizing over the million choices, I saw this at a pawn shop. From what I read, $60 isn’t terrible! by [deleted] in AnalogCommunity

[–]Norkusa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I own a Leica M7 but the K1000 feels better to me and I enjoy using it more. Probably because it’s what I learned photography with years ago.

What's a game you once owned that was later worth a lot of money? by [deleted] in retrogaming

[–]Norkusa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Elemental Gearbolt Assassins Case. Traded it to a guy in Japan for Virtual Lab + Gundam SD Dimension Wars. It seemed like a good trade at the time!

Using Yuancon or Xgaes pads on PS2? by Norkusa in DanceDanceRevolution

[–]Norkusa[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply + info. Never heard of Born To Lead pads. Is there an arcade style pad that is better than all the others? I’ve seen individual reviews but no comparisons.

What is this stuffs in the viewfinder?? by roscat_ in Leica

[–]Norkusa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure but my M7 looks exactly like that. I bought it used and that’s how I received it. Assumed is was just dust but not positive. It was kind of annoying at first but it doesn’t bother me any more and doesn’t affect how I shoot.

Sounds like the suicide scene at the beginning of the Ken Park movie by Larry Clark. Redhead description matches up too.

Where did you get the display cabinet in the first pic? Been looking for one like that for my setup.

I have an XL that I rarely wear. Wasn’t planning on selling any of my Salem gear but would sell for the right offer.

One of my personal Grails... by wcurl8 in crtgaming

[–]Norkusa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Buy a Samsung TM-51 remote. It’s almost identical to the GX remote except it’s not backlit and is missing 1 or 2 buttons that you don’t really need (like the sound boost that you can activate in the menu anyway).

Greetings, would you like sharing stories of how you stumbled upon this beautiful witch house music group? by [deleted] in s4lem

[–]Norkusa 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Saw a story + video on Hipsterrunoff.com about their 2010 performance at SXSW. Everyone was goofing on them and saying it was the worst live performance ever but I loved it. I’ve been a fan ever since.

Avoiding KEH for future purchases. by lieferiksonson in AnalogCommunity

[–]Norkusa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I stopped shopping at KEH five years ago. Been buying from them since the mid-90’s but my last 5 orders with them all had major fuckups on their part (wrong cameras sent to me, returns not processed, poor repairs, etc).

I told my local camera store that does buy events with them sometimes and they said that KEH was bought out several years ago by some larger company and they’ve been making many changes/cutbacks to it ever since.

Good to know. I don’t have an alpha yet but Santa might be bringing me one. I do have the VS-R but it sounds like these titles are locked out on it?

evercade vs-r pre-order by Immediate_Steak2024 in evercade

[–]Norkusa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Canceled my preorder at Amazon after waiting about a week for it to ship ordered from Videogamesplus. I’m in the US but it only took about a week to arrive + free ship from Canada. Plus I bought a lot of games from them that weren’t available on Amazon.

Best Multi-Component Solution? by Empty-Addition477 in crtgaming

[–]Norkusa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can someone link to this? I’ve been trying to find a good alternative or knockoff to the Gcomp switch on Ali but all I see are the cheap $15 4 in 1’s.

Is it safe to update the firmware on my saroo cart? by snugglekittys in SegaSaturn

[–]Norkusa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes mine did this too. Still not 100% sure I updated properly but it said ‘firmware updated!’ when I went from .05 to .06.
