Grow a Moustache


Sorry, not at all game related, but will you sponsor me? I'm growing a moustache - yes it will look awful on me, yes I will be pointed at and people will laugh. BUT it's for a good cause - Prostate Cancer.

You can find my donate page here, along with photo's of it once I start (officially starts in November), have a look around the site for more info!

Go on, have a laugh at my expense!

Neo Geo DB15 Controller Plug



Been thinking about making my own Joystick for my AES, and also would like to make a guide for the PC-2-Neo cable for the excellent Universe BIOS.

The only thing that's put me off is trying to find an cheap way of getting the correct DB15 connector that is long enough to fit the sockets on the AES console. I know it's possible to by extension leads (from tototek) but they may not be around for ever.

So this evening I set about modifying a standard DB15 female plug, pulling it apart, turning bits around to make it stick out further, then mounting it in a DB9 snap case. After a bit of trial and error I think I've managed it and it doesn't look too bad!

Proper guide to follow :)

If there's a guide for this anywhere else, please let me know - I don't want to re-invent the wheel.

SNES Fuse Replacement

Thanks to phreak97 for this great idea - fitting a standard fuse holder into your SNES so that you can fit a standard Glass Fuse.

phreak97 also supplied some info on an autodetecting SNES mod, changes the video mode depending on the region of cart inserted. I haven't had a chance to experiment yet though!

Euro Scart to Japanese RGB

I forgot to share the info I used when making an adapter cable for my XRGB-2. Updated site with it now.
