Just went to play some more of my beloved Pulstar, see if I could finally get past the 2nd boss and I lost all sound!
Tried a few other games and got the same fault, threw in the original BIOS chip and got a Z80 error. Think my MVS is a little sick.

Oh man, Rainbow Six 3 on the original XBox is amazing! I remember buying it at Dixons when I was a kid and being amazed that I could bark orders at the A.I in-game and they'd actually do something! 'Open, flash and clear!' - 'Roger, open flash and clear.' I dodn't have internet at the time but I remember going round my mate's house to play this on-line, it was amazing.
Little update on my little gaming corner & some misc pickups; nothing special just a few cheap games.
Setup
A few changes since last time. My Xbox has been reconnected and my Wii is now running via component. The PS2 which was connected via component is now connected via composite due to a lack of inputs on the TV. Honestly though the difference for the Wii/Gamecube is much more noticable than the PS2. I can now actually play my PS1 games again as the PS2 just gave me a green screen before.
Pickups
Note - I can't remember mentioning about these before, if I have then apologies for the duplicates.
I absolutely love The Die Hard trilogy (although I suck at the third game) and DD2 obviously needs no introduction (I still remember the rolling demo when I first had a PS1).
The other pickups arn't anything special (rare / collectable etc) but were all £1-2. Annoyingly Timesplitters doesn't run on my PS2 (everything else works fine) so I will have to look into that.
Still on the hunt for a nice NES and a Dreamcast mouse but no luck locally.
Phatboy - I will have to check out that Xbox bundle.

Thanks
I'm really lucky as my wife likes to have a gaming dabble every now and then. I think the arcade style of a lot of the DC games helps.
WOW I never realised how huge the Xbox was

Interesting fact (well maybe) - It fits perfectly in the Xbox One box (foam padding included).
Yes sorry the box. I had in in the box for a while under our bed and I was surprised when it fit perfectly.
Yup, Celeron/P3 hybrid with a Geforce 3 at its heart. Pretty potent when launched.
