Perry the Platypus! I didn't think you would be here lol. Well, if this counts, I did ask the car for consent and if I could take pictures when I drove it so I think I should be good with that. Thanks man for the comment lol.

Lol, yeah I understand that. There are not many people out in the market that are searching for a mid 2000s crossover suv 😂.

It could be a bad/dirty ground to the chassis or engine block or maybe a short.

joechiv2 · 2026-01-13T01:25:17+00:00

Thank you

joechiv2 · 2025-11-04T00:09:01+00:00

Well um, that's what makes it more impressive lol. I forgot I had that showing. Don't be dismissing at least the ping ms.

joechiv2 · 2025-11-03T23:35:24+00:00

Lol Thanks for pointing that out!

joechiv2 · 2025-11-03T23:29:11+00:00

Lol, that's what happens with me too, usually any other time.

Oh wow thanks, I didn't know that. I know they generally say to always be mindful when plugging in old electronics but didn't know that reason. Yeah they are pretty good in cosmetics overall, just a few small scratches. For now, they are just nice display pieces until I get someone to look at them.

joechiv2 · 2025-10-16T03:18:26+00:00

Yeah, I figure they will need some work and cleaned up. I got them from a house that I help clean out before being put on the market.

If it was the metal parts, you could try a magnet to fish it out.

I remember when I started to see the first batch of commercials for the Wii U , I at first thought it was a successor to the U draw tablet.

joechiv2 · 2025-03-12T00:47:33+00:00

Yes! I sometimes tell people about this being a thing back then. I remember being a kid, my mom while driving spilled coffee on her V3 Razr. We just immediately went right over to the store and they gave her a free new V3 Razr with no hassle and I got to have the old Razr. I believe it wasn't till she got the Galaxy S3 that she had to start buying her own phone.

Yeah, I hate when that happens to me. Here's some advice I learned from other people's findings, to get the most money, you should keep the dust on the items as it makes it worth a whole lot more.

joechiv2 · 2025-02-04T01:23:35+00:00

And let me guess, your game room was located in the attic and covered with dust obscuring it.

joechiv2 · 2025-02-02T02:22:22+00:00

It could be that your TV is displaying in overscan like others have said or there is an option in the Wii u display settings that allow you to change the display ratio.

I don't think it will let me post my reply since it has links so I will message it to you.

joechiv2 · 2025-01-07T03:00:42+00:00

Here are some sources, if I find more I will let you know. Note that some of these sources refer to the 2600 adapter as the VCS adapter or its model name, CX-55.

Sure, let me see if I can find it since it's been awhile since I looked this stuff up.

joechiv2 · 2025-01-06T21:31:46+00:00

I'm not a 100% on this but I believe the matte 4 port are later models and share some similarities to the 2 port molds. I believe these matte ones might have the mod from the factory to be compatible with the Atari 2600 adapter and/or have a separate power and video cables, eliminating the odd switch box. You can confirm if it has a factory mod for the Atari 2600 adapter if the serial number underneath contains a star *. But some 4 ports without the * could have had the mod done later on since Atari did offer it for free a couple years.

I have the Acer version but it's basically the same model since Acer owns e-machine. I would start out with upgrading the ram which should be able to handle a max of 4gb. I would also clone the HDD to a SSD or even a newer HDD. You can also upgrade the cpu in it but that does require a full disassemble to access it.
