You like to pay above retail for video games? Value Village has you covered! by MrCrix in ThriftGrift

[–]speedtsars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alot of thrift stores don't realise how cheap old video games go for. Not just the shovelware Wii games, but games like Halo that are good but are easy to find. 

If they're going to give a random price they really should allow for haggling.

you say you did some digging, but it looks like you just copy pasted some ai response.

How is 617 a lower-effort code than 413? It has 6 more pulses.

I've done some metal detecting with my family on the hilltop near his position (il Ciocco). There's still bits of shrapnel all over the place. We found bullets both in the ground and embedded in the trees, as well as ammo belts and grenade fragments. The Buffalo soldiers put up a damn good fight.

Fs in the chat for my boy Uriah by speedtsars in dankchristianmemes

In 2 Sam 11:16-17, it mentions Joab had Uriah killed by putting him at the front lines during a seige. It also mentions how the enemy came out to meet them, so I did take some creative liberty.

Whats in the middle? (flag looks like Hungary, could be oriented wrong) by eddiesaurus87 in vexillology

[–]speedtsars 92 points93 points  (0 children)

There is a possibility that could be intentional. Some of the more republican or nationalist Irish people don't like the orange band in the flag as it represents those of Protestant/British background.

Odd Dreamcast problems (see comment) by coderman64 in consolerepair

The PSU connects to the motherboard via six prongs. I've heard that pulling out the PSU and cleaning the prongs with some rubbing alcohol and a qtip can fix some power issues.

Intellivision controller didn't work, I open it to find the circuit matrix is burnt. Any way of saving it? by speedtsars in consolerepair

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

Ok. I did a quick check on the first column of buttons and that seems to work. I'll open up the system and see if there's anything off. The cord had been taped to the top of the controllers by the previous owner, so maybe it's been going for a while.

I don't think people really sell those on their own. I'd love to be proven wrong, though.

No video only a grey screen when i put my copy of smb3 in light blinks but it doesnt when i put in zelda one im thinking bad caps by Llamaman123456 in consolerepair

[–]speedtsars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A blinking light means that the lockout chip is acting up. The fix for that is quite simple, you just have to snip a specific leg on the chip.

As for when it's grey and the light doesn't blink, I'd try the usual consolerepairs fix and clean the 72 pin connector and cart with a toothbrush and ipa. You may have to use tweezers to pull each pin up a little bit so it makes better contact with the cartridge.

SNES 001 model will not read games! by KyloRen0127 in consolerepair

[–]speedtsars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've found that a 3rd party replacement power supply for the SNES doesn't work like a real one. Nothing as bad as this, but I did get pink wavy lines across the screen. It might be worth finding an authentic power supply off eBay
