So it reprograms a real cartridge in RAM with just button inputs on the controller? That's amazing!!

Totally forgot to post this.

I component modded a super fami,came out great but now I really don't need it as I have one just like it,might end up selling her soon.

I really don't know and was hoping somebody could explain it!

Well that's what the article says. It seems they are exploiting some bug that tricks the CPU to read the controller input data as program code. Then they just input the code they want to make pong and snake etc and the CPU reads that code.

The program they used to do this must be connected directly to the controller port pins I guess, because just hitting the buttons would require extremely fast (we are talking micro seconds) and extremely exact button mashing.

Haven't been going to work lately due to sickness, so not too many additions on my end. I did manage to get a couple nice things via a sale, however...



Nangoku Shounen Papuwa-Kun for Super Famicom, and this neat Mario sensu fan because why not.  Papuwa was one of my favorite anime, which made an already brilliantly-designed platformer that much more enjoyable. Sadly I had to use a bunch of continues for my first time beating it... I'll try to give it a proper one-credit run today.

[Nightstar699]

Great finds to both. The new Strider game looks sick, I'm looking forward to playing it... I just wish there'll be a region free hard-copy release for 360.

Got my games in today from senseiman,thanks again.

Top-notch picks, have fun with Ganbare Goemon 2 especially. Undoubtedly my favorite SFC game. 

[Pikkon]

Thanks dude,Ganbare Goemon 2 was the last one for me to get,now I have all of them.

A few more pickups in the recent haul... lots more to go

G1 Autobot and Decepticon LD boxsets and the rarer version of the jpn TF Movie LD (also VHS version).



Something more applicable to these forums... SMB 1 board game!  



pretty slick LD SF2 boxset, with CD sountracks, poster and nice large full color booklet.

 Stealthlurker I have the same one - absolutely minty new with the obi, BUT, mine is VHS instead of laserdiscs

Awesome finds as usual - where can one get a Viewlix model from?  I keep asking for one of those cabs at work

Is there more to come from the mega haul??

Spoiler

This is what I got when I googled /mega haul'

That's interesting, didn't know VHS tapes came with obis.

The Vewlix models are available through Amazon Japan. The pre-orders for the blue version 2s should be shipping this month. Unfortunately they won't ship this item overseas, so you'll have to use a middleman service or friend in Japan to order.

Yeah, a lot more stuff. So far I've received 3 really large boxes worth of stuff. However I've been lazy to unpack it all, update my spreadsheets, etc etc because work has been really busy.... so I'm tired when I get home. Also this coming week I'll be out of town (for work).... then next month I'm off to Vienna Austria for another week for work again 

Plus I should have a couple more large boxes worth of stuff en route haha. Should be quite a few really choice famicom related goods and of course NeoGeo

Can't wait to see those!

May have to ask a certain friend from Japan t help me out on the Viewlix model

The obi on the Scitron set is around the box itself by the way - the VHS tapes are sealed like your LDs and sat in the foam like the CDs are, there are two of them like the LDs.  I'd rather have the LD version, as those VHS tapes are not going to last forever sealed or not.
