I’ll vouch for DogP. Its that lameboyadvance character you’ll need to look out for. 😛
I (stupidly) bought my first Vb stuff through online stores. I only did so because back then I didn’t even have a credit/debit card, and eBay didn’t support international bank accounts.
I ended up paying though the nose. The only place I would suggest is eBay.
As for Jap games, Yahoo! Auctions Japan is the best bet. Use a bid agent such as Rinkya to bid on their auctions. You have to pay fees to the bid agents, but you get to bid on all the Jap crap you could ever want! :vbsmile:
No, unfortunately. 🙁
The VB uses a bunch of red LEDs to create the image, and these LEDS are too small to desolder and swap with other colours, unless you feel like going through a lot of trouble to do so… 😉
For that price I’m better off buying on of the $200 visors available on eBay (which I was eventually planning to do) and spending the $600 left over on enhancing my VB collection.
I’ve actually replaced my screws with phillips heads. Problem is I can’t remember what size they were. They came in some large pack, either 20, 50 or 100. Got them at the local hardware shop so they should be easily available.
I’ll have to try and find the box they came in…
But yeah, people may be willing to pay cash to have their unusable VBs repaired.
…But then again, if they sell them cheap because they think they’re faulty, more reason to buy them, fix them and resell them at a profit. 😉
