Nice collection vargojones, nice and clean too. If that tv has a vga port you could think about picking up a Dreamcast vga adapter.
I've been browsing through this thread over the past few days, and i got the sudden urge to set up my old Megadrive, MegaCd, 32X setup. Now bear in mind that this has been variously sat in lofts and garages for the past erm nearly twenty years, i was a little dubious as to whether it would work...so imagine my joy when i got this:
I am suprised and very pleased... so today will mostly be about playing old games, and getting out my Saturn, Dreamcast, PS1, Xbox and seeing if they still work...
I'm also on the lookout for a SNES, as i always wanted one but never got one.
£83!!! Vintage Amstrad CPC 6128 + Green Screen Monitor + Manual + Software, CV37 : The drive belt has been replaced and the disc drive works fine.
All of this time, I finally have the first computer in my hands from when I was a child

I had the green screen CPC 464, I thought it was much better than the C64's my friends had.![]()
Megadrive II not working
Need some advice, I have a Megadrive II that only goes as far as the copyright sega screen, I think it's some sort of standard white boot text then it's black, no SEEEEEEEEGAAA nothing. There is also a flaky connection with the power supply socket or connection, if it's moved it shuts the sega off. I've taken the MII apart and don't see any problems inside or with the socket. Out of ideas
Is it just me that thinks the N64 was one of, if not the best looking console ever?
Love all the colours it was available in.
It arrived

The monitor was so much bigger when I was about 5ish, put a tape in and did the load "disc" and the disc loaded up straight away for an Amstrad anyway. Did try another disc with some writing on it and it just said could not find disc. Perhaps it was formatted or a non working floppy?![]()
Very clean on the outside, bit dusty on the rear but at least it works![]()

I have one of these in the loft with a sports bag full of games, are the monitors a bit fussy? Also have an old Vic20, Atari 520st or fm not sure and an Atari 2600 Woody with games and joysticks, wheel pads and pads similar to a master system pad.
