Picked up a Ps1 GameShark Pro v3 for $1 and a Broken Nes for $10. The Nes looked like it had been stored in a garage or maybe outside all its life (hard to tell), but I needed some parts for another one I had sitting around. Figured I may as well try to get it working. The Zif connector was in bad shape so I replaced it and mainly just cleaned the pcb. I did get it working but it has some video issues. I've narrowed down the problem to either the VRam or PPU. I'm still gonna use it for parts but I may as well fix it, So I'm gonna switch out the Vram when I get a chance. I've taken some pics of the condition and a video of the problem.

Edit: Running some test roms, they are showing problems with the Palette Ram and Sprite Ram, Vram\Wram is checking fine. So the PPU is likely the problem. Anyways I ended up using the board for parts. used the RF\Power box and the composite transistor in another board. My spare board fired right up no problems.

Now I'm thinking of putting the suspected bad PPU in a socket and testing it on a good Nes to see if it was the problem.

PS4 with Destiny. Bought Killzone and infamous. Impressed so far as i'm a pc gamer normally although I wanted to play these games which weren't out on the pc. Would prefer more games to be 60fps thought.

Don't know if this counts but I 'got' the images... and wanted to find an excuse to posting the images on most boards I frequent.

I think I am going to need a cooling pad LOL

Niiice, I got myself a MSI laptop also, a thailand-market specific version of Dragon G-series. They're good pieces of gear! Except for the fact I have only 2 fan speed settings, 35% and 100%, its so loud on 100% :'(
