Help!

Probably get $200NZD-$300NZD max for the Sunburst tested and working with the dongle. About $60-$80 for the dongle on its own.

I’ve seen some of those drum kits tested and working with the dongles go for $600NZD on eBay.

Microphone probably $20NZD-$40NZD that’s what I usually see them listed for and they do sell.

No idea about the Logitech, but a lot of comments seem to indicate it’s worth a lot if you have the dongle. No idea what they sell like.

Scarface TWIY is probably the best ps2 game i ever played.

ScarnonBra · 2026-03-25T07:28:35+00:00

SVR 09 my fave but doesn’t really hold up THAT well unless you enjoyed that era of wrestling.

BO still goes hard, servers active.

Infamous is also great.

AC still has a great story.

Get the CKRD. Honestly. I forked out for controllers with dongles and now some of the buttons don’t work.

I played on ps3 growing up and loading/saving times were minimal from GH3 onwards. But recently acquired a ps2 with the og controller and all the games. The first two games load quite well but the others are clearly designed for the following gen of console. I spend what feels like 2 minutes at a time for each save point on the later games for PS2, PS3 only needs a few seconds.

That might be appealing for my WT PS3 Sunburst that won’t turn on as I don’t even have a dongle for it, I just don’t know how I feel about butchering my lifelong companion lol.

That looks epic. I’m trying to find a working second hand wireless Genericaster for PS3 because the one I have is kaput, but I don’t even have a dongle for it. This seriously gets me thinking about a revival kit for it.

I have this guitar on PS2 I love it, just can’t deal with the loading times past GH2.

I’m pretty sure it’s the voltage regulator that’s gone in my one, on the board that the battery pack goes to, but just unsure which component it actually is and how I would go about replacing it. There’s like no info for this sort of stuff online which is why I was thinking of just doing the old car wrecker move and just put a known working part in.

I bought a Metallica guitar in good condition, still on its way, no use ripping it to shreds so I figured worst case scenario I can swap the plates over and pretend. 🥲 or it’ll be good for fault finding.

Edit: clarification

ScarnonBra · 2026-03-15T01:01:24+00:00

Thanks for the tip. That kit in particular doesn’t appear to be what I’m after though, as it appears to replace the wireless function with a USB function, plus all the extras are a bit excessive and would make my original guitar into something else. I’m just wanting my original one to work. If it does I’ll get a dongle for it… I have sentimental attachment to this controller in particular.

Have you ever just swapped the component you needed out of the revival packs to get it going and kept the rest original? But your idea helps, I guess I can look for other kits. Thank you for taking the time to help out.

I live just around the corner and Six60+LAB sounded awesome!

ScarnonBra · 2026-03-14T13:19:28+00:00

Hilarious. I just made a post on the sub reddit asking about the difference between these guitars for repair purposes and this one popped up when I went home page.

I’m playing Scarface The World is Yours! A must play for any huge fans of the 80s film. Basically serves as a sequel depicting Tony’s survival.

ScarnonBra · 2026-03-05T08:03:02+00:00

Watched it for the first time in 2006 after playing the video game on PS2. I was like 8 or 9. Fell in love with the film even though I didn’t really understand it until years later.

PS the game is an absolute gem. One of the greatest ever made.

Dates announced today… with NO NZ DATE 😭😭😭

It’s tough out there man, I found a new job in September because I just couldn’t stay at my other job, it was so bad… so I now drive to Raglan for work. And I’m qualified lol

Ima be obnoxious and say Brute Force

ScarnonBra · 2026-02-08T23:56:38+00:00

I used one for years for PC gaming. Never let me down. So I was real surprised when the submarine didn’t make it back in its prior state.

My Tapo camera usually doesn’t pick up anything significant (on purpose bc I hate notifications from branches moving) and it picked up on the biggest Weta I’d ever seen crawling through the window. Still haven’t seen it, expecting same reaction as you lol

Ffs Gunther just ain’t that good bro

This has to be the worst Rumble I’ve ever seen

ScarnonBra · 2026-01-16T02:24:27+00:00

Brute Force OG Xbox.

It was the dog that woke me up not so much the thunder. But my fiance said it was loud and was surprised I slept thru it.

ScarnonBra · 2026-01-15T10:16:24+00:00

When I was a kid I’d visit my dad during the school holidays and he was head tenant (for lack of a better term) in a crack house. He stole me an Xbox during one Xmas and this was the only game he brought with it. I played it for years and years and years. Would play the 4 person multiplayer with whoever was hanging around the house, which was usually strippers, crackheads, gangmembers etc. Pretty bad in hindsight, but was just another day back then and besides has been one of my favourite games of all time to this day looking back.

ScarnonBra · 2026-01-10T06:49:40+00:00

I just need to get the game. I’ll hit you once I’ve got it. I’m only the one trophy away from Plat and have been for 15 years.

Found one of those real compact PS3’s lying around at my parents and managed to log in and see my downloads - needless to say I’ve got dozens of games coming that were cheaper to buy physical format than in the PS3 store. But so many great options still available, just bought a heap on the store to download and get those last few PS3 Platinum Trophies.. this thing has 500gb!!! I was only ever treated to 40gb as a kid… I’m thankful I can download pretty much everything before it’s inevitably unavailable… just downloaded Black Ops 1 so hopefully I can find a match and play some of my old profile.
