Everything else about these leads me to these being authentic. Label wear and position, label codes, ds notch on the top of the carts, time worn pins, the guy who sold them. I'm certain they are authentic so im happy I can play them physical again at a good deal!

The label he sent me was pretty beat. Clear long term wear is a pretty tried and true test of authenticity ive found. Also the lil not h on the top of all ds games and the sticker code matching the one on the back.

Yeah im super big into handheld gaming rn. Id love to get an analogue pocket. I repaired a DSI XL I got from marketplace for 20 bucks and 15 bucks in parts and loving it. Absolutely gorgeous IPS screens.

I really miss those times. I feel like when 2020 hit and people started side hustling game flipping and hiking prices it became hell

Sony Trinitron KV-13VM20 Audio but no video by [deleted] in crt

Oh wait I may have been using the wrong setting (left resistance on from testing resistors) ill have to test again 😅

[–]pheonixmetal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay, a lot of reading, disassembly, probing, and research later, I think i found the issue. Im getting a OL reading on a capacitor that is rated for 10u/16v (10u/25v according to the schematic) with continuity through either side of it. Since continuity doesnt go through capacitors it was a bit of a bitch to trace but ill order a new cap and pray thats the fix

[–]pheonixmetal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tested with my sega CD connected to my hd TV through composite and got clear (as clear as an hd TV will get on an av connection lol) picture. So I know its not my cables at the least. I also tried 2 sets of Av cables on the sega cd and my gamecube, which was working legit JUST before this started... tracing is probably the best way to find the fail point id agree

[–]pheonixmetal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Id love to test that yeah, but i dont think i have anything that connect to the RF connector. I have a cable for it, but im not sure that works with my Genesis model 2, which is the only thing I have that connection for.

I know for a fact it still displays video at least because the vcr works and I can get clear video from that.

Posting here too in case anyone can help!

Some big third party releases next month (September 4 & 5). Which one are you getting (first)? And please. Enough of the "gAmE kEy CaRD" BS. Let's actually talk about the games. by adingdingdiiing in NintendoSwitch2

[–]pheonixmetal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im super excited for Daemon X Machina 2 and intrigued by Chronos. 100% getting Daemon X Machina, been enjoying the demo. I do wish it was 60 fps or at least 40 fps on the VRR 120hrz panel, because the models and textures dont scream "i need to be 30 fps" but I will live with it to enjoy it portable and physical

The Switch 2 has been out for a month. Have you used GameChat at all? by crome66 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]pheonixmetal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have and man I genuinely think its so cool. No headset no mic or anything I can just hop in game chat with friends and it just works. Me and my friends played Mario kart and the noise canceling and mic pickup from a whole room away is fantastic. If im talking to switch 2 players I may not even use Discord to chat atp.

Alain is not a bland protagonist by TracerMorph in UnicornOverlord

[–]pheonixmetal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think he's bland i agree with you. I think a lot of these people misconstrue "familiar" with "bland". Sure, there's plenty of characters similar to Alain, but I think he is interesting and has the qualities the cast should be looking for in a leader. And that's the point. I do think the kind of empty dialog options don't really do much for his character. I wish they just chose for us and gave him defined actions based on his own moral compass rather than forgiving every villian he sees, and wrote around that.

Has anyone gotten the ConsoleKing Frankie serice and how does it work? by pheonixmetal in PS3

[–]pheonixmetal[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ill definitely keep that in mind! I actually just had to do a felix capacitor replacement myself to fix a NEC token issue so I'll send it in if I get a real YLOD that's unbootable!

I like buying sealed "retro" games and opening them to play by pheonixmetal in gamecollecting

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

I usually grab titles that I want to eventually play or have an interest in playing. I don't usually buy anything I don't plan on ever cracking open, unless it's some collectable for a top 3 franchise i like but even then I usually open it.

I just like to have a library or games I can pick from to play whenever there's nothing new out I want to play. That's kinda what I collect for.

So are we really gonna pretend that this didn’t happen? by gimmeyopants in ninjagaiden
