Don't think so. Mainly just for the novelty of having in cart form w/ box, etc on the famicom.

Grandia II, Virtual On: Oratorio Tangram, a PS2 fightpad, a purple 3DS [with the huge Nyko aftermarket battery], and a PSx->USB controller converter.

The purple 3DS is really sexy, and the Nyko battery lasts AGES. No effort to install either.
I need to get used to VOOT's controls, it would be really nice to be able to use the L/R triggers to turn...
Grandia II took way too long before gameplay happened.
The PSx->USB converter was just to replace my old one that I had fixed by taping the cord from an old printer USB cable to it.


Also, I'm expecting to get Crazy Taxi in the mail some time soon.


[and that Zanac Famicom cart looks sexy as hell :D ]
Come check out my website, I guess. Random stuff I've worked on over the last two decades.

Won a second Saturn HSS-0130 arcade stick. Now I got 2 of these bad boys. This one's boxed though vs. my original loose one.

The Saturn plug/connector is just on it's side so it looks like a skinny DC plug. It wasn't modded for DC.

I've told a few folks on here about the custom cab i've been building. Well...it's 99% done (still want to add a marquee of sorts, but nothing is jumping out at me yet).

It is a cab for consoles mainly, though it can support MAME and supergun if needed. The control panel uses (2) McC's and i've got cables for all my consoles (except N64, which isn't supported).

The cab itself didn't cost much, probably under $200 in supplies. The control panels (I made two) were about $400 apiece when all was said and done (McC's x4, sticks x4, buttons x 28, aluminum cp's x2, overlays x2, wood, and some labor on the wiring)

The monitor bezel, if you will, is TATEable, it is a 34" x 34" frame, simply slide out the bezel, flip it, slide back in.

Nice build!

I wish I had the tools and experience to do such projects. However I keep picturing myself with missing fingers if I were to try such a thing, lol.

Another package from my man in Japan, rancor - got the other two VHS tapes for the Gradius/Salamander/Gradius II OVA anime, DDP Gamest Vol. 43, the Deathsmiles DVD, an autofire circuit (finally) and the ESPgaluda Curious Cat doujin comic. And some hand sanitizing wipes and amazing Japanese candy, as always.

Got two FGWidget from Godlikecontrols (Toodles) that I'm gonna put in my Supergun for controls. You can use them to add support for Playstation pads/sticks, SNES, NES or Saturn controllers. Just solder any female connector to it.

I already own Dynablaster and am not even sure if carts from different regions work wih one another. Pretty cool and cheap purchase, though.
