Retro console and games thread

Sadly not having much luck with this Megadrive 1 I bought at the weekend, had to wait until today for an AV cable to arrive, i think it was the right type (round plug, 4 "dash like" connectors, ie:

The power light comes on, but bo picture on screen, have tried with & without carts in, headphones in too and no audio via headphones!

Any ideas, or is it a goner? :(

that's local to me, I'm trying to limit the games that have to the ones I actually will play; rather collecting for the sake of collecting.

I've sold/gave away/binned such great titles, I don't dire trying to replace them since of the crazy prices.

Try giving the cartridge slot and carts themselves a good clean. I had the same problem initially with the MD2 I purchased.

The problem was simply a build up of dust on the contacts. A quick clean using a credit card covered with paper towel soon sorted it.
 
Went car booting some where new to me today, 50p to get in and the only thing I got was a boxed namco g con, in a damage box for a pound. Some guy was selling a speccy zx and c64 but I didn't fancy it. The load times would kill me.

At least my metal gear solid 3 sub has come from eBay.
 
Woohoo. Manged to grab a PAL 32X in the end from eBay for £30 and it's just turned up, looks in good condition but part of the reason it was cheap is because it didn't come with any cables. I've got a patch cable on the way but still need a power lead. The Meagadrive 1 power supply doesn't fit but will a Megadrive 2 power supply work?
 


Zelda, Mario Kart and Pilotwings are complete though only Zelda's box is in good condition. Donkey Kong 1 and 3 (like 2 I got a few weeks ago) are missing trays and manuals sadly but they were a good price and I am really pleased with it all.

Plus my snes collection is about complete for now (covering almost everything I want to play on it for now, just want Fzero for less than 8 quid and I am set for now) :)
 
Donkey Kong series is great. Shame RARE's PAL conversions were not as good as their N64 ones (right speed, still got black bars though :( ).

I've still got to replace mine with US copies, but been spending too much on games lately :(.
