So after swapping the capacitor out to get the original Japanese DC PSU going again, that'll be a working Saturn and a working DC for £23 plus a couple of quid for a new capacitor :D

Well, on this subject. From this:



To this:



Spot the difference. £1 on a new cap and a few seconds of soldering later and it's all back to life. So £24 got me a working Saturn and Japanese Dreamcast. Quite chuffed with that.

Caught up with my mate yesterday and he gave me this lot!! Some great games there! Only issue is the system is a bit yellowed from our friends house that owned it before him! Cant complain though! Ia it possible to clean it up?

What charity shops do you guys go into? I'm lucky if the charity shops near me even have PS2 games!

My £7 Pokémon FireRed arrived today. It took about a month to get here from China, is a fake as advertised but runs (and saves) fine so pretty happy tbh! As I just want to play it and i'm not a collector.

Also, if any of you are near Southampton, I discovered a good little retro shop that has reasonable prices (e.g. N64 + Goldeneye Bundle £50). Nice guy running the place and seemed pretty clued up.

Indeed! Looked on ebay and seems you can buy replacement faceplates etc so i may do that, they may not be original not sure but i cant stand the smokey house yellow look :D

I may need to look into saturn at some point!

Any hidden gamecube gems? I also have mario sunshine and animal crossing that i picked up months ago in anticipation!

from platinum and onwards they are sealed in nintendo wrap, heart gold and soul silver didn't come with any wrap on the boxes although i think that's normal? i have opened them and the poke walkers still have the plastic tab in them between the battery and contacts
