First up, gameboy dmg boxed in very good condition. purchased the transferer II + 32M flash card separately. Super easy to use and works like a charm. I can fit about 25-30 games on it. Ive got a dual led backlight kit and some more mod parts coming for the GBDMG here soon.








==================================================


retrousb's nes CF flash cart. works wonderfully. paired with a $12 2gig cf card. in the background is my NIB nes i bought last year.









=====================================================


ive already got a sega saturn mod chipped and a 32x, i figured id get another pair boxed as backups. classic mario game watch i owned as a little kid that i broke.. so i bought this one and i plan on restoring the cardboard packaging here soon





=====================================================


My TI graphing calculator collection. The recent buys are ti-83 plus, ti-89 platinum (this thing is a monster powerhouse with builtin usb), and the original ti-92. I have books for most all of them.



======================================================

got any questions, suggestions for more consoles to look into, please let me know. Im barely scratching the surface on console collecting, ive got so many left to research and collect.


for more pictures of my classic console collection, most of which hasnt been photographed yet, can be found here

So wait, those CF things allow you to put any game on the CF card, plug the card into the Gameboy/NES/whatever cart and play those games through the system just like it was the original game?

Cool stuff.

juball, yes. ti calculators got me into programming games, so its my duty to fullfill my dream of owning every model

fiddy,
exactly, but its very expensive.. VERY. Much like any custom flash cart. You'd have to be a serious collector or full time gamer to really make it worth it, lol 2GB cards might be overkill but i cant find a 1gig anywhere these days.. bestbuy had em for $12 so i couldnt pass that up.

Have you considered buying a Virtual Boy, Sega GameGear, or a Coleco Vision yet? Those are all good choices.

~Will Courtier~

do you have the Sega Nomad? A lot of people don't even know that ever existed (portable system that played Sega Genesis games). I owned one for a while back in the day. Hard to find back then, let alone now probably.

someday, when I have the room, I'd like to do the same thing you are doing.

yea i got a virtual boy and gamegear. im looking into a colecovision right now, but i need to do more research on rare models, preferred games and accessories.
you can look at the rest of my consoles that ive photographed so far here

sega nomad, jvc/sega x-eye, sega cdx, and sega master system are on my to buy list.
but i might have to save those for next year.


this is my sega collection so far. these are my first 32x and sega saturn that i bought unboxed, that saturn is modded with a mod chip. the sega cd itself plays backup copies straight out of the box, as well as the DC. I need to pull out the magic eraser on them to clean em up.

Dude nice collection. I'm jealous.

Maybe pick up a Neo Geo, 3DO (Panasonic), Atari 2600 and expand the collection.

Do you have sonic+Knuckles and a game genie?

Oh man, I have never known anyone that owns the big ass TI full keyboard calculator. That thing must be the shit. Although that ti89 is probably more powerful.

EDIT: That drug dealing game for the ti83 is bad ass but it gets really old after a while.

Damn torx! I didn't know you were that hardcore!!

I really liked that system... :\\

ivwshane
how much DO YOU WANT FOR IT!!!!!!!!!!!????????????

ive actually got a panasonic 3do FZ10 which is very backup friendly out of the box, but its not boxed up and pretty like your ivwshane. *price check please*




i think there were alot of problems with that FZ1 as far as reading cdrs, but ive only read about it from 3rd party experience, not my own. That doesnt mean its not on my to buy list though, because it obviously is.


dan,
i bought it last year, cant remember the price, i think it was in the 90's shipped i dont think i went over 100 bucks on it.
yes its very user friendly and easy to use and scroll through. i got the file listing on the cf card in alphabet folders. If you have any saturn hardware boxed i might be interested. Ive really focused on purchasing and collecting boxed items preferably with all paperwork.

I do have the turboexpress with tv tuner, you can see it in my console pictures
and yes, NEC came out with some pretty nifty systems that didnt get much exposure like nintendo and sega.




if you want a 2600 make sure its a sunnyvale boxed with a chess piece image next to the black kid on the front of the box. heavysixers are extremely expensive and rare.

heck yea, that would be great. and yes, im barely scratching the surface because theres just too many to keep up. Thats another reason why i really have no intention on buy games for any of these systems unless they happen to come with them.

this day and age, every cartridge based system has a developers community and someone who has created a flash cart for it. The cd based systems are mostly cdr readable out of the box, if not then theres always a little hack or modchip to fix that.

i just look in the easy bay area for anything? if so, awesome, i got a good connection then. i dont know much about the ataris other than the 2600 so i gotta do plenty of research before delving into that branding of consoles. Each model number had about 10 or 20 different sub models under that, lol.. so it can be daunting and very pricey in the end.

can you believe theres over 20 different variations of the cdi? philips made a slew and magnavox made a slew. most are rare and very hard to find, but i mean damn.. who would have the time to amass all of them... its crazy The most common is the 910 model and i dont think that reads backups all too well or is very reliable over time, buts its definitely on my tobuy list. The one you posted is a 740.


**EDIT** is that cdi in your area?
and i take it you dont have the nec systems either?

nice suggestions, especially the game axe.

this is the first time in three years that ive seen the powerpak actually available. so i jumped on it.
its ALWAYS sold out.. and i mean always to the point where i thought the product was vaporware

then i bought all my gameboy stuff from these guys

Guess what arrived? Maybe the mortal kombat trilogy up top gave you a hint??
Sorry for the shoddy picture taking. If you'd like to see some screenies of more games or possibly some video action let me know which game! Aside from the B&W LCD, this little piece of hardware was ahead of its time incorporating touch screen, modem communications, dual game slots, and menuing system. Unfortunately developers couldnt make good use of the hardware nor did anyone give it a real chance. The SDK apparently wasnt widely available or easy to use, combine that with poor marketing you have an instant failure. Simple XBLA type games wouldve been great for this handheld but instead they reached for complicated super extravagant games like doom, MK, etc etc.



Hell, i practically own half the game library already


Total of 7 games


Nice piece of hardware complete with stylus, 2 game ports, comm port, contrast, volume, lots of buttons.


Menu screen, lots to play with out of the box. Shouldnt have bored anyone back in the day


Cant go wrong with solitaire


If you have two games inserted, you can choose between the two


Batman

no wonder you dont post pics of big booties no mo'

IF you pick up a 2600 try to get a Darth Vader edition (all black) one.


or if you can find one...

im on a women hiatus right now, fuck em!


even the sears models are still rare.
whats up with the darth vader model? never seen that one before.
lol james, at the time i was programming for the ti calculators, this system caught my attention as being the most "possible easiest" console to code for. Since then i had always wanted one to build games for.


LOL $650 my ass!! aint paying that kind of money. id be better off coming across one at a garage sell
i hate how people are buying up all the good shit on ebay and turning around and selling them quadruple their value.

like this dirtbag right here, "game squad", he takes all the systems and sells them for rediculous prices as buy it now.
