I think your feedback was good, Mathius.  The price wasn't too horrible.  Usually those repros go for around $50 like previously mentioned so at least you didn't pay THAT much.  I have the real deal, but never really take advantage of the battery since I rarely play Mega Man games for a few stages, especially the Genesis/MD version where there is a slight delay between when you touch the d-pad and when he starts moving.  I think they did that to make it easier to creep towards the edge without falling.  But leaving your Genesis on for days won't hurt it.  Just be sure to turn the TV and mega-stereo sound system off.

As for the Outrun 60fps mode, you have to go to the options screen, highlight Game Mode, then hold A and C and press Left or Right.  You can now choose from Overseas, Japan, Overseas [smooth] and Japan [smooth].  Always choose overseas because the Japan track layout is far inferior.  Unfortunately the Genesis version of Out Run is stuck with the shitty Japan layout.

Who made your repro??? I may want to upgrade one day. :) I agree with the controls. They just aren't as tight in Wily Wars.

Thanks for the Outrun code. Me being the lazy guy I am probably wouldn't have looked it up for days. :mrgreen:

You know I realized what you meant after I posted, shut my laptop, and was on my way to town. D'oh!  #-o

It's probably the best code ever made in history of all video games :!:

PCE Shmups countdown: 111/111 (all clear!!)
Sega does what Nintendon't, but only NEC does better than both together!^^

Border Down FINALLY  :P


Thousand Thanks to Moosmann - he did the Extern Controller Port Mod on my PSP.
I highly recommend his site (in German - sorry).

Port (for some reason I couldn't get a better picture  :cry: )

Connected (notice the right connector)

Result (finally I can play Darius Burst properly - with the Astro City Control Panel)

I have no idea what happened to that door lol.   If I get this system fixed up, I'll probably have the shell professionally repainted.  The system has a region mod, RGB mod, and svideo / a/v jacks on the back.  So its worth trying to repair :D

I picked myself up another Turbo Express and in addition Final Soldier and something Tiger (heli shooting game) the other day.  The TE is in excellent cosmetic condition with one stuck pixel and no sound.  After replacing some caps, there is sound now.  This will be my backup TE :dance:.
Turbo fan since 1991 after owning my first system.

Just ordered Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker for 16 bucks, & Nier for PS3 for 20 new.  I've heard some good things about Nier, that it feels more like a Castlevania, compared to the recent CV Lords of Shadow, which I think is terrible.
