I got my R.O.B. the Robot for the original Nintendo working last night after having to basically rebuild the insides of the spinner motor because it was so corroded!
But look how cool he is!

My hand holding a power adapter showing heat shrink tubing on the cable to a miniplug, painter's tape on the adapter says "Odyssey 1" written in hand with a marker

Welcome to my family of diy spliced-together power adapters, Magnavox Odyssey!

Super Famicom with "Nintendo Power" flash cart with Broadcast Satellaview attached, next to a Sega Genesis model 1 with a Sega CD model 1 attached as well as the Power Base Converter to play Master System games (with the Sega "3-D glasses adapter in the card slot and Zaxxon 3D for Master System in the cartridge port)

The angel and devil on my shoulders.

The 4 mouses listed above in order on my hardwood floor. The Genesis mouse has it's cord wrapped.

Here's a quick look at some of the mice I have for my consoles: Super Nintendo, Genesis, Dreamcast and Playstation!

My Hori Super Game Boy controller in front of my "Game Man" to which is it connected. Donkey Kong 94 (original Gameboy game) is connected to the system

A close-up look at the controller itself with the box behind it. You can see the speed and mute buttons, A and B button are coloured like the Game Boy, it also has a faux speaker in the corner to mimic the Game Boy design

Holding my SGB Commander controller up while Mario Kart Super Circuit (GBA) is on the screen from my Game Man

I built my "Game Man" a few years ago (a consolised GBA) and bought a "Super Gameboy Commander" to play it with.
It's a controller by Hori with a unique Gameboy-inspired configuration and special features for use on Super Gameboy!

Selfie at the door of my games room - visible in background is my Neo Geo MVS, Super Famicom, Sega Menacer and CRT

Hanging out in my games room today and getting intoxicated later! Have a great weekend everyone! ♥️

A nice close-up picture of my Broadcast Satellaview attached to my Japanese Super Famicom, with a re-shelled "Nintendo Power" flash cartridge in the system

The Broadcast Satellaview bios booting up on my TV (BS-X for short)

My Broadcast Satellaview in the foreground, the TV in background welcoming me back to the BS-X service, asking which downloaded title I want to launch

The Nintendo Broadcast Satellaview was added to my collection after my last collection post!
Of course the service is gone, but with it's bios and a cart with a real-time clock, you can get a good sense of what it was once like!

The (very dusty) old controller with plastic L button sunked into the housing

The PCB inside the controller, with close up of the removed button section and my hand holding the button

The new Litton soldered into place with the plastic L button cover resting on it

Another exterior pic showing the L button aligned properly, no longer sunked into the housing

Thanks to airline luggage handling, the L-button in this poor old wireless retrobit Genesis controller had become impacted.
I had to remove the old switch inside and solder in a replacement.
Good as new!

My emailed shipping notification for the new Virtual Boy hardware for Switch

IT'S HAPPENING!
My new Virtual Boy hardware from Nintendo is shipping!
I'm excited to get to compare it to my original Virtual Boy! I'm curious about possible interchangeability!

#retrogaming #retrocollecting #nintendo #virtualboy

Two pics, top: me holding the tiny VMU/ game boy like device Bottom: the button panel opened up to show it's memory card connector

Two pics, left: the clock on the PocketStation Right: Squall from VII on the PocketStation screen

Two pics, top: the PocketStation in my PSOne Bottom: the PocketStation in my PS2

Here's another thing I apparently never posted here - my Sony PocketStation.
Sony's answer to Sega's VMU!
Organiser, clock, minigames!
Planned for release outside of Japan but it never happened, though some NA games still released with support for it like FFVIII.

The www.paxpaldb.com is tracking so many different release types for PS1 games! Still only a little over 62% complete so far, but have been redeveloping a lot of bits and pieces to improve the site...
#ps1 #playstation #retrocollecting #psx

Atari Jaguar on my floor, CIB Tempest 200 opened next to it, in my hand is the Jaguar controller with my custom jaguar controller overlay

Since I like to display a game with my systems, sometimes they beckon to me or other that see them, which is how I came to be playing some Tempest 2000 on my Atari Jaguar recently 😅
Bonus: I made that custom numpad cover for games that don't need the pad.

A shelf with game boy, game gear, virtual boy, and a bunch of other handheld games both loose and in protectors of boxes.

ROB the robot stands tall on a shelf with Dreamcast disks, Evercade carts, PS1 and Neo Geo

The closet with the controllers now has an armoury of light guns hanging on the inside of the door with the rare 2p Pink Justifier at the top

Continuing to tidy up the display shelves of my collection so I can do a new walkthrough album or video of it all soon. Pretty proud if how this is starting to look!

#retrogaming #retrocollecting

A new shelf in my closet with joysticks from NES, SNES, Neo Geo. A Sega CDX carrying case and the boxes for Pippin, Microvision and Odyssey are all visible

I'm trying to tidy up my collection to do a new album/inventory. Last weekend I installed a new shelf in one of the closets! Just one more thing to build and it'll all be ready for viewing.

My awesome partner suprised me with Kuon for Christmas ~ this completes my ‘horror trinity’ as I call it, of the most expensive horror on PS2.
This is also the most expensive PS2 game to date and is considered very rare. 🧧🏮🪭

The 360 was my favorite system growing up, it's where I found my favorite game series (Saints Row!)

I know what you're wondering, and yes, I enjoyed EVERY Saints Row title. EVEN Gat out of Hell and the reboot. Also, IV is my favorite >:)

Come check out our Genesis shelf! The Genesis has one of my favorite retro controllers, I SWEAR that D-Pad wants to be a joystick haha (it's very comfortable to use)

Golf games? Platformers? Kids games? GAMES WITH BEES?
