I have messaged them about a replacement Probotector cover for my cart only copy. Surprisingly it's not on their site though they have it pictured under Contra Hard Corps

Contra Hard Corps is the US/Jap name for it.

Was looking at the evercart but you need to buy the correct one otherwise games with special chips won't work.

Today's purchases

£50 spent in all. Loose NES, GBA and 36 games, and a dozen PS1 games. GB games include about 6 Mario ones and 2 MegaMan titles.

The NES came with this perculiar thing. I've not been able to find anything like it on eBay?

Stuck a shelf up in the gaming room to display a few collector's editions got a few more to stick up and a sign I purchased from a games shop a few years back, think it looks pretty good.

I really need to update my RetroCollect database!

Sifting through all that I have already added puts me off!

ShiWarrior · 20 Mar 2016 at 19:33

nice shelf Rebel

ShiWarrior · 20 Mar 2016 at 19:42

guys, remember that snes I bought ? (not the 2nd one with the massive hole in the back, the first one)
listing here :
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Super-Nin...D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

seller has emailed me to say, ill give you £60 and I keep the snes!

at least the snes sort of works (bit temperamental, but works none the less)

got to be worth keeping it ??

bobbyspangles · 20 Mar 2016 at 20:07

So you only would have paid 16.50?! Definitely worth it then. Those games are probably worth double that on their own.

Very fair of the seller, perhaps too much so

.

ShiWarrior · 20 Mar 2016 at 20:13

yep

I got 2 snes, so ill test the games in the other snes to be sure

bobbyspangles · 20 Mar 2016 at 20:30

What is wrong with the SNES exactly? Hopefully it will be something fixable. If you have any rubbing alcohol, you could try clean the cartridge slot with a lens cloth soaked in IPA and an old credit card. It's rarely anything more serious.

ShiWarrior · 20 Mar 2016 at 20:33

takes me a lot of goes to get it working, light comes on though
