Yeah I didn't care much for the GG screen either, somehow it ends up being worse than even the Game Boy screen.

 

[Skips]

It gets a tad bit better if you backlight it with a DSi screen but is still bad.

 

[HeavyMachineGoob]

Oh yeah, got a bunch of NGPC stuff. Thanks to rbjake for a couple of the games and the glorious link cable, gotta get a few duplicate games for it.

The Majesco Game Gear screen is much better, has a lot less blurring. But I still wish someone could figure out how to put a modern LCD screen in there without it looking like a postage stamp.

 

[MidnightMonkey]

The issue with the "postage stamp" effect has to do with the resolution difference in modern 3.5" LCDs. Unless you can figure out a way to upscale the input before it hits the LCD controller, or find an LCD that displays 160x144, it's not going to change. Honestly, it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make because the original screen is just SO BAD.

 

[MattBlah]

You regret it because you miss playing the game, or because you could flip it now for more money?

Because I miss the game and rebuying it is going to cost me a lot more.

 

[MattBlah]

Spoken for truth.

Why? Because I don't have many posts here I must be out to make money off of others?

I'm curious, those don't have keyed Jamma edges. Are these Korean versions or bootlegs? I notice that one looks to have a foil sticker but the board layout looks different.

Ninja baseball boot man, i meant to say.

I stupidly sold my copy of Pulstar (to a member here) 4 years ago for a very cheap price. I've regretted it ever since, especially seeing what it sells for now.

It must just be a mystery....

My point was that now that I want it back it is going to cost me a lot, not that I wish I had sold it for more. I did a good deal for a bunch of games to a member on here, I didn't flip it on eBay for as much as I could get.

Probably just poorly phrased then

they are boots.

this is what an OG board should look like

 

[Chempop]

Similar situation to the “Korean made for Korea” Raizing Mahou boards, my guess is that it’s in that grey area of "licensed by Irem”.

 

[ulyses31]

Just bought these on a little store, now I'll be able to try to play some games with my wife

Right. Many Korean boards certainly fit into that gray area.

However, I always thought no keyed edge = boot?

They are Korean boards yes. Its not uncommon in that time for arcade games to be officially made in Korea, much like all those funky Korean MVS carts.

Treated myself to a couple of Mega Drive games.

Agreed, I had a GG "in the day" when it was near the end of its life, screen was garbage. Picked up a Majesco last year and it's significantly better.

Snagged this on Craigslist

Those PCB's are both original boards. A lot of notches are cut into boards post arcade op - he can cut them if he chooses, but as long as they are inserted into the harness right side up there's no reason to.

NBB is booted often - generally on a very small pcb. That is the official Korean version.

This has been my understanding too. Korean region legit boards. I have a bootleg NBB and Mike's right, a small board that looks nothing like the originals.

 

[Ninjainspandex]

I remember reading somewhere that the Koreans really don't like the Japanese and don't like buying goods made in Japan. So often Japanese companies would license their products to be made in Korea there are some Sega Consoles that are like this, they look kind of funky because they were made in Korea by Samsung but totally legit and officially licensed by SEGA.

Don't lie, you love the wood & are always curious of how to mount things

truth!

Or, instead of duplicates, get a flashmasta.com

Recently upgraded to a Model 1 HD Genesis w/ the extender to go with my Model 2 CD:

Love it. Volume slider knob is missing, but no bigge. I have a Model 2, but needed to invest in a Model 1 after upgrading my speakers. The Model 2 produced an awful buzz that didn't bother me much until I had better speakers.
