I have such a boner right now I'm gonna need surgery to get it down.
I went to retropallooza in Arlington Texas last mont with shadowkn55, where I met teddykgb, neoturfmasta, and robivy64. Mr. 64 had a sharpx68000 vi with a compact flash mod that had me discharging Cowper's fluid.
It also has quality porn games, like metal orange....
And are you happy now?
I was hooked, and I determined to get one myself. Japanese computers was a big step into uncharted territory, so I was pretty nervous about possibly spending a ton of money and getting in way over my head and left with nothing in the end.
Regardless, I picked up vi compact with a midi expansion and synthesizer, as well as a 10mg ram expansion off the 'bay. It came with a keyboard, mouse, and this piece of shit from Casio, makers of fine products worldwide:
The hard disk replacement was a fucking Jaz drive, held together with tape.
It died in 2 weeks. I needed a cf mod. On a compact model this is horrible. It requires an external SCSI enclosure to put your SCSI to cf card in. Robivy64 sent me one, but it was hell finding a cable that would connect it to the c68k. I eventually found one. Hen I struggled with getting the thing to work for a month. I quickly learned that SCSI stands for "system can't see it". However, with some help from the dudes at the Gamesx forums, I finally got it up and running today!
The thing is a complicated mess, more complex than a genesis with a sega cd and 32x on it. I've got a midi controller, SCSI enclosure, and 2 channel audio mixer to mix the midi and fm audio together.
Here's me, intimately enjoying the final product:
I expect this to get photoshopped to hell and pasted all over the war room.
I want to thank broken, neoturfmasta, shadowkn55, teddykgb, and robivy64 for all their help and patience when I called them crying.
This is a big deal to me because I suck at any sort of ancient computer stuff and I can't read Japanese. Im sure you guys could do this in 2 hours.
