Yanton social commentary thread!

[cdoty]

Thanks to the many members of this board who have mention Yanton, I was able to find his site.

I was able to pick up:
2 Puzzle De Pon boots for $25 each. The (16 MBit) 16 bit flash chips are easily worth $25 (there are four on each board), and two regular 27c eproms. I hadn't been able to find a 16 bit flash chip in a DIP package.

A Nigthmare in the Dark cartridge, which may contain more of the flash chips. If not, it'll be entertaining for a few weeks.

A Puckman Pockimon arcade board, which is based on pirate Genesis chips (minus the Z80).

I've also purchased 2 PGM cartridges through his EBay account.

A sincere thanks go to the people that pointed out that he sold boot carts. This will make testing stuff on the Neo Geo a lot easier. And the Puckman Pockimon board will be fun to play around with.

Feedback forum?

Yeah, I've picked up a couple of the MX fash built Waku Waku 7 carts and made my own dev cart. The DIP flash roms used inside these carts is a huge score for about $40 ea. Of course, this means nothing to people that want the game, but to developers, this is great!

Feedback forum?

Why? I didn't buy the games from a thread on the forum.

Maybe he just doesn't like you!

This post was more of a social commentary on the Neo Geo forum, than an endorsement for Yanton (I'm gonna remove the 'content customer' line).

I got what I payed for, nothing more or less. None of them came with a Shock bo...., err... I mean plastic case.

I think it points out that people like to whine, and will take every opporitunity to do it.

If you buy Metal Slug 3 for $20, do you have the right to whine that it's a boot? Ever heard the phrase 'If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is'?

This is still in the wrong forum.

Mods move it to feedback or merge with the 100 other Yaton threads please.

Is it true he uses food packaging to send the games in

It's now *officially* a social commentary, and not a feedback (feedback removed from initial message).

Mine had the cartridges wrapped in bubble wrap in a normal shipping box. Maybe he ran out of food packaging.

It's now *officially* a social commentary (unless someone has already designed one of those), and not a feedback (feedback removed from initial message).

At least its moved now.

Everything that can be possibly said about Yaton in this thread has been said hundreds of times over in hundreds of other threads. Shit is never going to change with that guy.

Is it true he uses food packaging to send the games in

While the majority of stuff from him were in normal shipping boxes, there was the time my brother got a few games wrapped together in a pizza box.

This probably should belong in tech...

Bill, He's just letting the other Parts Miners know where they can get some cheap HTF parts......

I got 2 MVS carts in a box of fish fillets. I wish I had taken a pic of it, but I was too busy laughing my ass off.

 

[JammaGuy]

Yanton* Isn't that just a popular thread? I bet people talk about yanton more than there are sales per day on neo-geo.com

 

[alec]

Is it true he uses food packaging to send the games in

Yes, I bought 3 carts from him once. The came in a Goldfish crackers box. I didn't mind one bit.

add: if i find the pic i'll up it, thought you get the idea already i assume.

This is what we need pictures of..

Imagine, if you will, a collection of Yanton's packaging materials.

 

[beh3moth]

hahahahahahahhahaha.... I o nly ever recieved stuff in regualr boxes, well packed. a bit grubby but not too bad at all, fast shipping to the UK..

Maybe he only send food parcels to those who asked for them?

 

[Kpj]

I've had no problems with Yaton. Fast shipping & good cart selection!

Same here. This seems to be norm.

I think you're on to something there. Maybe something is getting lost (added or jumbled) in the translation.

Bought about 10+ MVS games and 1 Kit from Yaton. They were wrapped by bubble and shipped by a regular mailing box. The price is cheap, so no complain.
