An audio clip would help, but I would guess capacitors off the top of my head. I know when they start to fail they can start creating audio issues.

I mean with games like this it's always a supply and demand thing. I think enough people that wanted the game got copies and are just holding them because they are either Sega diehards, collectors...

Weird, I've seen lots off odd looking "official" stuff come out of South America though due to how the licensing is set up.

Take your time on the TE, the pads can lift pretty easily on them from what I've heard. I re-capped mine recently and it took longer to get the old caps off and everything cleaned than putting the...

I agree if I've got it in my hands, but pictures online for a lot of stuff can be deceiving. There's a local media store near me that sells retro stuff and I'm always suspicious about stuff that...

Stuff like that you can easily file a not as described case on ebay and force the seller to accept the return.
It sucks to deal with though, and I never understood why, as a seller you would...

HADES is such a great game, I feel like it's a culmination of all the stuff that Supergiant has done so far.

AWESOME!

Thanks for the info! Checked out Digikey a bit for them an responded to your PM ;)

That stinks, didn't you say you needed to replace the multiplexer on the board already once?

Weird, wonder if maybe someone tried to get it apart before and failed an messed up and that's why the bulge happened, couldn't get it all seated again.

Exile 1 or Wicked Phenomenon?

I enjoy Exile 1 over Vasteel, but if you skipped WP then I think you dodged a bullet lol.

I call the middle schoolers in my neighborhood hooligans. And that's what they are.

If you're willing to branch out from the Sci-Fi genre then two Bruce Cambell series come to mind. Jack of All Trades and Brisco County Jr. are both fun watches, and Brisco even has some sci-fi...

I think you're right, the ability to influence the production is a good idea, but at this point I'd only trust it with a team that's delivered several products already. I (and others I'd think)...

Yes.
For PC Engine I've gotten at least: Mysterious Song, Insanity, Atlantean, FX Unit Yuki (only Yuki was a kickstarter though)
For Jaguar: Elansar
For SNES: Nightmare Busters (kind of...

This is a really cool read, thanks for putting it together!

I recently finished a recap on a Turbo Express and used tants based on input from a friend.
That was a bit of a pain, but you're right I should address some of my extra hardware in general.

The thing that confuses me a bit is who leaves a considerable amount of money in their PayPal account anyway? If I'm selling stuff and start to get over even $500 I move it over to a bank account to...

Looks nice, are those tantalum caps? I've debated recapping mine but I'm just lazy and it's still been working fine.

Yeah, seeing how the keyframes and stuff were developed so thoroughly for these games gives me a whole other level of respect to the developers.

This was a very interesting video to watch for...

Very nice, reminds me of Vectorman a bit actually.

This is the first I've heard of the Golden Cart, is there a link to the promo? I didn't see anything with a cursory search.

I had a slow boat sent out at the end of October 2020 and it arrived about a week ago (like 2/6 or something). That's a lot more than normal, typically it's closer to 6-8 weeks for a slow boat but I...

If you haven't replaced the belts that should be the first place to start. The ejecting of the disc a lot is normally an indicator of tired/slipping belts however, that was the first thing I used to...
