I've recently purchased a European copy of The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass from a seller on eBay. I know there are a lot of counterfeits on eBay, and I would like to do what I can to ensure...

Thanks, but I think I would rather an internal card. The second card you listed only supports HD and VGA input. What I would use the card for primarily is analogue composite video.
On this topic,...

I am wondering what the best options for backing up saves from Gameboy, Gameboy Color, and N64 games are that are currently on the market. If necessary, I can set up a PC with Parallel and/or Serial...

I've been thinking about building a PC, and I was wondering if anyone in the community had any advice on the subject. My primary use would be for gaming, though I would use it for plenty if other...

I'll look into that. I hadn't considered contacting the sellers before, and all the sellers I've found that already ship internationally from the UK usually charge £25 for airmail. I don't know if...

Thanks, I may go for a 1080 or 1084 if I can get one.
I've checked eBay, but old CRTs are in such low demand, no one puts anything up other than fancier professional models.

P.S. If you know...

Does anyone know where I can buy a PAL CRT TV that can be shipped to or within the US?
I want to get a PAL TV so that I can properly use European game consoles. I've seen the newer multi-system LCDs...

Thanks, that info is helpful.
I do have to pose two new questions now:
1. Is there any reason that I shouldn't use lead-free solder?
2. I read that you could wrap a copper wire around a soldering...

I am considering installing a modchip on my US SCPH 5501 PS1. I just have some concerns and was looking for any advice or precautions I should take when performing this mod.
First, is there a...

I'm going to get a copy and see if I can reproduce the problem. Could you please provide the version (US, JP, EUR, etc.)?
EDIT: Also, information about your system and emulator may be helpful.

I understand your point, and I will probably drop it after this, but if desync is such a common and game-breaking experience, why are there so many patches to convert the video mode? If it was known...

While I understand that there is the likelihood of desync, the game still renders well on an NTSC console, only with a cropped image. I may have to deal with desync issues at some point, but...

I tried the general patches from ConsoleCopyWorld (there weren't any patches designed for C-12) as well as some other tools I found through further searching. The ones that worked in any way just...

My bad, the game is Super Mario World. But my primary question about the hardware still stands.

EDIT: There isn't much documentation on the glitch easily found by searching, so here is a link to a...

I was wondering what differences in internal hardware there are between the American Super Nintendo and the Japanese Super Famicom. One reason that I'm asking this is that there is a newly-found...

I tested if this would work by using a piece of wire to jump the connection. When I first ran the test, I did not realise that the rear sensor was not depressed, and shorting the connection...

I'll probably perform that mod, but what did you do with the case when you installed the switch?

Just wondering, how did you modify the sensor? I was looked at where the sensor was attached, but the lands were so small, it seemed that soldering a switch would be difficult, and I'm not sure what...

The reason that I was changing the laser was that the laser module in the old (modable) PS2 seemed defective and I wanted to use a known-good laser to alleviate this problem so that I could soft-mod...

Unfortunately my console is too new (SCPH-90001). I tried to install FreeMCBoot in the past before realising that the model was too new. This is why I've fallen back on the Action Replay method.
If...

I have tried the PAL4U and Zapper 2000 methods, but the best that I have been able to get is this (the following is the screen adjustment screen; the game starts normally and I navigate to the screen...

I set the style to 'Midnight' and I am now unable to change to other styles. This may be an issue with vBulletin, but I would still like to know how to correct this. When I click the style chooser at...

I am able to boot PAL games on my NTSC PS2, but the resolution is too high and the image is cropped. I have searched for and tried solutions on the internet, but the best I have managed is to get...

I have found that I am able to play burnt copies of PS1 games on my newer model PS2 by using a PS1 Action Replay. As a discalmer I will note that I had to disable the disc cover sensor for this to...

Thank you all for the replies. And, Zorlon, the reason I asked is because with some systems, the Gamecube in particular, there are issues with having Japanese and American saves on the same memory...
