update: new system works great! it's oddly got missile defense 3D as the built-in game (never seen that before), wish it was Snail but maybe ill trade later for that model or something, this one's BIOS say like '88.
works great, i already had an RGB cable & AC adapter, so i was set. pad's good but i only used it for one night out of nostalgia before going back to the genny's 6 button one, haha.
and the 3D glasses work great too! so happy with that, my buddy's shop donated that adapter so i had a blast with em last night, plus they sold me a light phaser for $8...passed on a loose copy of Psycho Fox for $20 cause i'm so broke, heh.
can't wait for my master everdrive this christmas, and a dude on SMSpower offered to FM mod for $25 if i sent the system + board, i think the latter's about $65 so that's gonna have to wait for a bit. but yeah, so glad to have this thing up & running again! might finally finish Zillion one day.
