I personally don't regard the GC and DC as retro, but i just thought it'd be easier to post it under that banner!

I grew up on the atari 2600, not the ST!

I've got a Dreamcast and a stack of games at home somewhere (although some of them are OMG RARE if that's not what you're looking for), let me know if that's any interest and i'll dig it out.
I think there is also a metric ton of 'backups' too.....

Is it just games you're after? I've got some spare Gamecubes if anyone wants one and is willing to cover postage - I just need to see how many I've got, probably 3 or 4.

I'd be interested in the gamecube games and your Dreamcast ones if you could list them? The originals I mean.

Thanks!

I have a Saturn with about 12 games and 2 controllers (one of each type). Unless my parents have thrown it away. I also have a c64 GS, does that count as a retro console?

Does anyone happen to have a N64 video cable, a copy of Mario Kart 64, and two N64 controllers they don't need? Mine appear to have gone missing. :(

Stop selling your GameCube stuff, for gods sake. It has, like, ten of the greatest games ever made for it. Call yourself gamers, phfffft.

That's nine.

I have six of those, but Resident Evil 0 and 4 are available on XBGOD, so I'm happy to get rid. Mario Sunshine annoyed me as the camera moved the opposite way I expected and you couldn't change it.

Killer 7 was just weird - couldn't get on with it.

You can add Battalion Wars, Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg or Pikmin uno to make ten.

I can't remember the camera in Sunshine being a problem, all I can remember is running along the golden sands under deep blue skies to a Jamaican twang, jumping on Yoshi's back and making him spew sick in some mushroom guys face like he'd had too many banana daiquiris.

...and those stupid elephant fucking things.

I do, but it's in vgc - game and manual were taken out of the box, which is shrink wrapped and not even a smidge squashed. Which suggests it might go for a bit on ebay.

I now have a "offline" 360 and an N64 to sell if anyone is interested.

The 360 comes with the usual leads and is the hdmi model, and a few folders of "backup" games

The N64 is the Goldeneye package version, boxed with goldeneye, wave race (boxed) banjo kazooie (boxed) and a couple of others

Looking for offers in the region of £50ish, or maybe swap for something retro-gamey that i don't already have :)

There are lots of different types
I have an EFA advanced http://www.emu-zone.net/gba-sp/efa.htm and a Supercard SD : http://eng.supercard.sc/manual/sd_jj.html and a Bung Flashlinker however I think they will be hard to find.

If your PC still has a parallel port I could sell you my Flashlinker (I dont change the games on it any more since none of my machines have parallel ports)

If you want to look around search for GBA flash card or GBA flash linker and try to get one which takes memory cards (easier to update) - and *avoid* any ones which connect to the GBA itself to do the transfer (I had one called a magic-card or similar and it took ages to flash games to it - you connected the cable and turned the GBA on holding down start/select to connect it to your PC)

£10 plus whatever it costs to send it ? (probably about another £3 or £4)- i'll need to have a dig around and make sure i have all the bits - there's the flashlinker card / the main unit (to write to the card) and a GB Bridge (which allows you to use for GB and GBC games)

This is the bridge : http://www.gameboy-advance.net/flash_card/gb_bridge.htm
Flash card is the top one here : http://www.gameboy-advance.net/flash_ca ... m_card.htm
And this is what the main unit looks like : http://www.gameboy-advance.net/flash_li ... linker.htm

Unit is powered by AA batteries (it can take a PSU and there are details on it but i never used it) - and you need a PC with a Parallel port to connect it to and software is on the links above.


* edit *
And I cant find the cable so you'd also need a 25pin to 25pin cable to use to connect it to your PC

Naw, the ones that connect to the GBA are the best. It's all about the EZF Advance.

Supercard SD may take SD cards, but it has a stupid thing you do to get GBA games to save.

I have a EF Linker that has a custom cable to flash and its quick and easy , and a linker that takes SD cards which is great as well (although it sticks out *miles* from from the unit itself.)

It may just have been the magic card that i had but it was really slow (15 to 20 minutes to transfer a full cards worth of data) and the software was really buggy.
