I made my TRON a Mame, But a dedicated one.

Because it was trashed when i got it.

I would have never condsidered making a regular Mame machine out of it.

Hey, The Guy had to relist the TRON's!

Because some guy said he (Bought them by mistake)  :dizzy:

So here's another chance!

The Guy also has other games for sale,

Says he's thinning out his collection!

Probably because of damn gas prices!  :angry:

Here's the link.

ouch!

Sorry to hear that bro!

My only problem when i bought my Galaga, was that the ship and sprites.

All looked like blocks.

Had it shipped off for repair.

That cost me $100

Jeez, that probably was either a ROM or RAM problem......pretty easy to fix....

Could have got another board for that money I guess ?

Well, I once paid around $110 for a Ms Pac board to have it arrive with everything but the maze coming up fine. Turned around and sold it for $70 as not working to find out a week later I could have bought a new daughter card for like 5 bucks and had that problem fixed. :banghead:


I was new then and that was a couple years ago...

I bought a new set of roms, Still didn't fix the problem.

Sent it off for repair after that, And came back with old original looking

roms on the board.

I bought it, When i was fairly new to this hobby too.

The other week it started having sprite problems again.

So i asked advice on the board here.

And i fixed the problem myself. Just reseated the roms again.

Problem fixed.

My Galaga's board is in the shop at the moment.. I ran out of tricks to try. So $375 is cheap for a broken one with a spare..?
what's the opinion on this one near me on CL
$600 OBO. Hmm.. offer him a Galaga?

If you order a pizza, put 1 quarter in their Galaga and the pizza's done before you are, you might be a video game junkie.. if you offer to tweak the crt , definitely.

$600

Is a Damn Good Price for that one !

I would off $400.  If he doesn't take that? $500

Then up.
