rancor
, you know your part, how your clients need to be challenged, intrigued, flattered or dared, it's only the next toy they want without knowing it, and nearly the whole world goes this way (hail to women who know this better than us) !!.., well, let's talk about "human factor" ?! i can't write a book but here is an essay.., you should as some know from experience, that when a forgotten thing rises in a japan convention, suddenly it becomes sought after by specialists of good things, like the reunion MI68 ? , twitter has many pictures of the recent show with the Xevious fm77av running in real computer, they were only 3-4 pictures in yearS before that ! , and there was a UNIQUE video on youtube/nicovideojp about a real FM77AV... ("before" the 3-4 seconds of MI68 videos..). and if didn't mention it.. well how many times the FM77AV was mentioned on shmups forum for example ? ..TWO times in ten years ?! no joke you should have checked before
... and the machine has some exclusive STG games nearly no one outside japan, talks about ?!.. (there is a single message about, Thunderforce, somewhere in this forum afaik)
i studied this thing since a while, they weren't present past year in YJA, the jump has some months only (i bought mine 3 months ago), i searched a good machine at fair price, .. worse i bought a faulty one, cord cut
so the odds were very low.. but i figure in lecture that a cut cord is not a problem, it's just human nature to solve, that can mean stockpile computers unused ?, i'm not sherlock holmes but with good lecture of certain minds and it was the case solved there.., (and as it follows the hype, i knew the good ones would go up to 600$, that's the case now), do you think "curiously" they wake up each month now in YJA ? there's always a reason, and MI68 & beepshop attendants are the reason mainly... , but that doesn't mean they go outside japan and people talk about it (yet...), do find someone talking of this computer now googling ? the most messages you could find are from 2012, essentially for a keyboard (because there are some types scarce) !! by a canadian who vanished.
by example, remember the X68000 compact 3"1/2 i talked about and predicted the fame here ?. i just saw the prices going from 40$ to 700$ since the problems of duplicating floppies were solved..). dont get me wrong, i know good shit from ages.. as some early gamers, didnt wait that japanese cabinets as astrocity or egret2 went cool, i got my stack of astros, a personal container, ...Twelve.. years ago (the second unit in my country, where i motivated without figuring it !, and where thousand were sold since)..,

in this case, do a search about people who run a fujitsu fm77av, you'll find just partial or no answers but problems.. i just solved the usual problems with this machine and answered in a dedicated exotic forum. i'm not a genius or alpha (but a wolf perhaps & pissing to mark first territory is a thing wolves know), with few pieces of puzzles, extrapolated the missing ones, and that was needed due to to very few intel on this computer when it comes to duplicating floppies for real use, from emulator files ! (the essential tool is mentioned two times in full internet since 2 decades !!). and what about Rgb21 pinouts cords from scart ?, few & most faulty pinouts infos, etccc,. i would have much prefered following the ready thing with $$$, but as none succeeded really without it, i had to try this the low cost way.
(as usual.. people are people..) I bet and know that some owners (outside japan) will rise..., motivating people with forgotten stuff is cool, but not when the $$$ make the rules, good point for Beepshop & other resellers.. but personaly i prefer be certain to get mine, before the prices skyrocket when the hype of discussions are on (i've been a motivator seller to sellers, not the best but motivation is a word i could drive people on).. (but hey..it has none quality compared to Cave stuff or X68K, it's just a 8bits, nearly 16bits computer, who puts at shame sometimes the first european 16bits..) and miss sometimes the thing too, remembering i had a mint "pinksweets fullkit" & traded it for a broken machine , less than 10% the current price
. that were my 2yuans of japjac. 2 thumbs up !
well in fact everything comes awesome or rare (except the dvd which rise in this thread & kill it..).. , how many backpacks alive in 2018, of this nintendo64 IMF i just found from personal graveyard ? (i worked defending the infamous n64 vs psx, we were destroyed, was a lost commercial war) . you know what, all this is just stupid & non sense, that's a lesson of life !
It's really good fun to play with and way more stimulating than messing around with a phone or reading the news paper
