Yeah, I got mine with a 360 / MAME in mind kinda. Now I own a PCB that I love I could happily have a 15khz only cab - like an Astro or Aero.

I'm lucky really, I only had to get it through two doors - which only required me to remove the control panel. Even so, if I move it's more than likely I'm gonna sell it and get something slightly easier to get through doors, even if it means dissembly.

Or I could just keep her, I think the doors in my house are less wide than regulation so it should be fine anywhere else.

My cab was a nightmare getting in my new house!

[speedlolita]

The guy I bought my E3 off of rents places with patio doors - just so he can get cabs in and out easily - makes sense to me!

$20 each, all complete, from Cashies of all places.

Also traded in a bunch of 360 games for $190 credit at EB (50% extra trade in rocks) and got:

2 preorders for WoW Cataclysm
The rest was put on "Metroid: Other M"

Ah Megaman 1-3. The pinnacle of the long-ass series imo. These are definately my favourate 8 bit games, often overlooked and way better than any of that Mario stuff I think.

Got a bunch of shock boxes from Nintastic for the MVS carts i've bought so far. I said I wouldn't go down that road, but it does make everything look a lot nicer on the shelf than just the bare carts. I like the fact you can pick your favourite inserts for the games, got these knocked up at the printers round the corner.

Gotta love your family when they hunt games for you when they're on holiday. My sister brought back this for me from Greece (for a lovely low price of 20EUR, not the 67EUR written on it) along with some Pirate MD games.



Need to carefully remove the stickers later!

[thebuddahman]

Cauterize!

Lovely title but be very careful - I bought one thinking it was a EUR version that would have an english option but I don't think it did. Depends if you want to open it like, just saying

[importaku]

Great game, shame that the pal version got mutilated. Can't believe they removed the intro song.

[Cauterize]

Thanks thebuddahman, I'll keep my eye open. I've only just got home from the football, so I'll have to give it a whirl tomorrow. Although on the plus side, the manual features English, as does the back of the box. Fingers crossed!

I bought a GP32 at the weekend, turns out it has no smart media card and they are the most stupidly expensive media cards in the world

I only wanted to have a mess around with it, not even sure they are any good...

Let me know if you would Sir, I'm curious now as I seem to remember that Shadowgate 64 was another one that lured me in with it's English text on a EUR cart and then turned out to not have the English option *grr*

Where did you get the shock boxes and inserts ikobo? I'm in pretty much the same boat as you; when I got my cab I swore I wouldn't bother with them but now I'm itching to get some.
