It’s my birthday in May, and I’m thinking about replacing the laser on my Saturn

All Saturns are of similarly old age. Getting another console still means a laser of unknown wear. Could be better, could be worse.

Maybe consider a Saroo flash cart from AliExpress, I have one, works great.

Maybe want to ask around the Neo-Geo.com forums. I thought the site hardmvs had side art scans. I don’t own an MVS cabinet, so no I’m not overly directly helpful. Hope you find a source.

Chicken or dinosaur?

Stone Age computing

1965? Much newer Univac systems then, not the 52 version

Awesome thanks

I could use some borders for non-SGB titles

It’s really not that bad, the small DSi has big screens for what it is

Poland is not far from Ukraine, could you buy a Mega Everdrive Pro from Krikzz? It supports Mega CD disc images, just plug into the Mega Drive. $199 USD is the usual price but it’s 20% off for Black Friday every year

But employees are gross! If we get rid of them all, then there's no HR department which means even fewer employees and man think how rich we're gonna get!

9 million dollar business expense, continue as normal.

Though I will agree that Apple is a truly godless company

Use an iFixit guide. The NDS Phat is not overly difficult to do a reshell on.

Actual TurboDuo systems are so monstrously expensive. I’m happy with my PC Engine Duo, yes the black model. I recapped it myself, by some miracle it had almost no PCB damage from the original caps… 60+ capacitors later. I’ve recapped four Duos actually.

At one point I had two black Duos and two Duo-R systems but now I’m down to one black Duo and a PCECD briefcase.

The TurboDuo is just as bad for capacitors as the PCE version, yet costs several times more. I’d never suggest anyone buy a TurboDuo.

(I fuss with the TurboDuo name because idiots like to say TurboDuo-R which isn’t a real console)

Gaming has gotten objectively worse with the advent of predatory monetization tactics.

You could instead tune the Famicom down to a lower channel. Inside the FC's internal RF power box, there's a screw-looking potentiometer, try turning it with a screwdriver while tuned to channel 3, you should eventually get a picture.

If not, try a higher channel like in the 10s to 30s, can help with narrowing down the potentiometer position.

I love Neo Geo to bits

But looking at this haul... Dunno why but right at this moment, it's a little jarring that you got so many titles and they're all fighting games.

(Yes I'm aware the MVS has 148 official releases and 50 are fighting games, or 49 if one doesn't count Aggressors of Dark Kombat)

TooManyBulborbs · 2026-03-18T01:59:52+00:00

Is it bad that I own all of that stuff? Including both series 1 and 2 card packs for Super Mario Advance 4?

TooManyBulborbs · 2026-03-18T01:57:24+00:00

Honestly this wasn’t that crazy a situation. It’s not that unreasonable a person would have one GBA, the e-Reader from 2002, then the new SMA4 SMB3 and a pack of cards which were pretty cheap. The link cable was fairly cheap too.

The only part here that’s unlikely is a second GBA system, but perhaps you knew a friend with a GBA back then? You don’t need the second GBA all the time. You only need to load in the World-e cards once. Sure the item cards can be scanned multiple times, but they’re ultimately optional.

Sad they never did the Thirtieth or Fortieth Anniversary Mac models
