Post any time you get ANYTHING retro 2

Got Gunvalkyrie in the post today for Xbox. Also got a Ghost 2 v2 modchip for PlayStation 2 which I have just spent the last 3 hours installing. Works like a dream though.

ahhh ghost 2...how i miss my aqua blue ghost 2 modded NTSC-J fat ps2.

[Soundwave]

Wow who ever thought PS2 modding was such a minefield
So glad I never got involved back in the day

I have a modded fatty here (don't tell Katie I called her that) that Brad kindly donated to me ages ago but I've never powered it up so have no idea what I've got in mine
Might actually have a look later

Chips arrived fairly quickly. Mine was running pal and usa games by 2001. I had FFX, MTVMG2 and Jak and Daxter all working on it.
I don't think the shop I used bothered with the swap chips. I certainly never heard of it until now.

[ETC]

Think I still have one of them action replays. I remember burning out my first ps2 playing FFX with it

It was one of these you needed to make the early chips work iirc

A few more titles today while out with my son. Area 88 and The Firemen for the Super Famicom. Both in great condition. And Thunder Force 6 for the PS2.

Good little game is TF6 if you ask me. Quite similar to TF5 though, not considered amazing by die hard shmups fans.

I love that Area 88...I want one soooo bad.
If you find another good quality one Mark then let me know I'd be eternally grateful

Area 88 is awesome.

Area 88 is awesome.

I know I've had the Pal version more times than I can remember but never owned an NTSC version on a modded console so I've only ever played a slowed down squash screened version

Now that I have a 50/60Hz CRT TV again it's time to get the old light gun classics again.
Starting with this lot.

Got a few tasty treats over the weekend:



PAL Mark 2 Saturn. Fully boxed in immaculate condition from a friend in exchange for some of my R1 anime DVDs. He bought it back when he started Uni and played it a few times before leaving it at his parents house where it was forgotten. Came with official RGB lead and second official pad.

It came with these:



And this:



Gutted it doesn't work on an LCD as I have no way of actually playing it. It even has the receipt from when it was bought!!!

And these too:



I went and saw my parents on Sunday and my brother gave me this:



And these to go with it:



I am literally over the moon!!!

I am literally over the moon!!!

Literally? Blimey!

Nice haul though! Especially the mags. Sega Saturn Magazine was the last gaming magazine worth buying in my eyes (retro ones aside). I dream of one day owning a complete set.

That Saturn looks mint! Nice find, I always expect second hand stuff from back home to look like crap so it's great to see not all games look like they've spent 10 years inside a Gamestation bargain bin.
