If all things go well, my recently acquired A600 + sticks + about 20 big box games will be coming home tomorrow

Picked up a A500 and 1084s monitor bundle and took a gamble on some cheap dodgy looking bashed up Sega systems from a car boot sale a Mega Drive Mk1 and a Sega Master System 2 the master system works great just looks ruff and the Mega drive needs its joypad ports replaced the pins have been crushed and broken off only payed $20 AU for the two Sega's so cant complain

[Devlin]

got a 4gb cf card and a cf-ide adapter for my a1200, and a 2gb usb stick to use for installing linux on my netbook(the 1gb stick doesn't cut it any more!)

[ancalimon]

The last new A1200 from Petro Tyschtschenko is with me

[watertonian]

NTSC CD32 with controller. This is the one I mentioned in another thread, and promised to zap some pics up here. (and do a Pal mobo swap, just haven't gotten brave enough to deal with the annoying green ribbon cable yet)

I know this is a bit off-topic, but during high-action scenes (like the kung-fu fights in The Matrix or the ship-to-ship battles in the Pirates of the Carribean movies), the frame rate would get very erratic, like it was dropping a lot of frames and turning into a slideshow. Even during some low-action scenes it was doing it. When this really got bad, I had recently upgraded to the Gotham-based version of RaspBMC, but when I downgraded to the previous version, the stuttering was much better, but not completely gone. Overclocking helped somewhat, but I never maxxed-out the overclocking options due to lack of heatsinks on the chips. OpenELEC was a little better on Gotham, but still not smooth. I tried a lot of the documented fixes like setting the vertical sync rate to match the media or the monitor, but nothing really had much effect besides the overclocking, and it didn't really help that much.

Knights of the old republic for my original XBox.

It's considered to be one of the best Star Wars games ever. I played KOTOR 2 some years ago on my PC and wasn't too impressed. I hope the first game is better.

Cheers Brett.

back on topic:
Well the A600 came home over the weekend (I purchased it from gumtree but it was a fair way away so I had someone more local than me pick it up and only just got to get it from him.) Only done a visual inspection so far, but generally, not too bad. very yellow along the back, but the rest of the case and keyboard is still pretty white. should be an easy retrobriting session. there were 2 mice (tank mouse and a naksha clone) 2 competition pro black with red stick/buttons and an entire huge box full of big box games

the big-box games in the A600 bundle.
they were obviously stored in a loft or garage, with condition ranging from good to "so mouldy will probably go straight in the bin"...

Lol I love the latter... I'm assuming the boxes bin material but the disks still salvageable?

I bought a sata to scsi3 adapter for my A4000T. Will try a 2tb harddrive once I receive my A4000T back from my friend who his "taking his time" testing it after he repaired it :P

[DDNI]

OMG I hope it wasn't that A4000T I saw sold from Turkey last week?!!

[Experiment T]

Just bought myself an Atari 5200 that's been modded for S-Video and RCA output. Looking forward to trying out some of the homebrew releases on it. Also got a rebuilt joypad to go with it. I'll have to go hunting next for that 2600 Adapter

Just paid for WHDLoad, Still need to setup the 4GB SCSI drive I got from a Powermac 8500 in my A2000 to use WHDLoad on when my keyfile arrives.

Can't be mine (I guess you are not joking :P ). I wonder who else has an A4000T here.

Hehe, I just got my key this morning. I'm in the process of setting up a 32GB CF with CWB on my A1200.

Just got a new ACA-1232 with 40Mhz 030 and a Micromys v4 to go with it

It's funny but you might be able to get it cheaper depending on which currency you decide to pay in with all those WHD titles now this is well worth buying.

Got these two immaculate Apple IIc's for $150
