I am a simple geek with simple pleasures. I like anime, manga, retro gaming (and some modern stuff), ninjas, pirates and zombies. This blog is just a place with my thoughts and feelings.
Well I had planned to post a video with a review of my new SNES hardware. Unfortunately YouTube refuses to upload my vid. So until YouTube stops been a twat I can’t do anything.
So I am out drinking again. Maybe it will work when I get back in.
Maybe….
My modded SNES and Playstation One have finally arrived today. It’s taken over a week from initial order, to doing the mods, to finally getting them in my hands and I couldn’t be happier.
To be honest I am more impressed with the switch-less SNES mod than I am with the Playstation mod. I was kind of expecting this one to be twitchy as all hell to work. Yet it seems to be working incredibly fine.
Anyway I also received my two Japanese games that I ordered at the same time. Both came from Japan so I have got them pretty quickly considering they had to travel nearly the full length of the world to get here. Both are in really good condition and working great. I also love the box design and shape on these two games. Certainly seem better than the ones we got here in the UK.
Right I am off to play some games while I wait for my driving lesson. Expect a hardware review at some point tonight.
Which do you prefer. The Japanese and EU version or the American version?
-JAP/EU-
-American-
So I am sat in a local pub enjoying a drink. Contemplating what I am going to play first on my new games systems that are coming.
I will be honest about this. I am a little excited about them coming tomorrow. After all it does mean that I can now play all my import games again.
Especially the one game I have been wanting to play for ages. Parasite Eve for the Playstation.
I do also have some Japanese and American games coming for the modded SNES and I will be going into that more when I get the system and the games.
Well back to the beer.
I have finally bought a Playstation 1 that can play import games.
HELLS YEAH!!!!
This means I can play Parasite Eve again when the system turns up. A game that I have been wanting to play for the last month and to which subscribers of my tweets will know know all too well.
BITCHIN!!!
I also invested in a modded SNES that is able to play any region game thanks to a fancy chip. I am a little fuzzy to how it actually works, I get the basic idea, but the chip switches the console from 50hz to 60hz. It then also disables or enables the lockout chip inside the SNES allowing me to play import games. These combined mean I have a SNES capable of playing American and Japanese games at their full 60hz speed. The thing I am really fuzzy on is how it gets Mario RPG to work. Apparently that is a bitch to get working and I have seen physical mods been done to the cart pcb to get it working on PAL systems.
Anyway here is a demo of the one I have ordered.
So looking forward to egtting my hands it considering I have just bought Tenchi Muyo for the SNES. Just couldn’t resist that purchase 
Will update as soon as I get them
BITCHIN!!!!
