Title: ISO Super System Card 3.0 US version
Post by: clackattack on July 12, 2014, 08:28:14 AM
Anyone out there have one of these and are looking to possibly trade? Got an SNES mini and some good titles to offer, some NES games, some N64 hardware, maybe a TG16 arcade stick, and a few saturn games.

ISO?  Man I've been selling/buying shit online forever and I've never run into "In Search Of".  Use LF, or WTB like everyone else.  Damn kids today…  :P

US 3.0 cards are not difficult to find, but they take a while to sell.  I just sold one a couple months ago so I'm sure another will go up for sale soon.  Be patient.

ARGH! Ya i was outbid buy a few bucks on that one. My top dollar was 200, and I didnt really wanna go that high even, so once it went above that I tapped out. For that kinda price, I may just find a cheap Jap DUO and do a full recap myself. Correct me if Im wrong, but the CD side is 100% region free right?

The us 3.0 card can range in price from as low as $80-$225 depending on condition. When I got mine I paid $100 complete over 8 years ago, so don't feel bad. They do poop up, however not to often....

I bought a super system card 2 years ago for $60 from a used game store in Seattle.  You can occasionally get them for pretty cheap.

I bought one complete on eBay a couple years ago for around $100 shipped.

After I decided that I wanted one, I just waited until I found one at the right price.

I scanned the packaging for Sparky.

Or you could put the money towards / buy a JP region CD system and get the same results.  US system 3.0 cards are collectors items now.  If you're getting it just to play super CD games then you're doing it wrong...

well in the instance that my main goal here IS to play SC games, what would be my best route? already tried an inexpensive adapter and the JP 3.0 card but to no avail. Should I just mod my system?

Modding your system will much cheaper than an adapter outside of a chopsado.  After getting your system modded, you may want to buy an Arcade Card Pro rather than a Super System Card though they've been rather price-y too, lately.

I was actually lucky enough to get my hands on an arcade card pro about 6 months ago from a local preowned retro game store... 30$ complete in case! This was what originaly fueled my desire to get an adapter for my console, but after many headaches of it NOT working with certain titles and hating how ugly that thing was sticking out of my console, I had decided that what i needed was a US 3.0 card. I had always heard that the region mod was pretty difficult, so I had been steering clear of doing so... until I saw a good how-to guide. Broke out my Weller station last nite and just waiting for my region chip to get in.
     Gotta take the time to say, Ive worked on many mainstream game consoles before (nes, snes, gen, SCD, saturn, psx, etc.), but in my years ive never opened a TG16 before until last nite... and talk about build quality! The inside of this thing is built better than my 1500$ tv! But c'mon, whose idea was it to integrate RF shields via solder tabs?!
