I too pine after a BBA, purely for PSO. I try every so often to get computers to act as dial-in servers for the Dreamcast, but it never seems to work, and never for the same twice. One of these days.
It's a huge pain in the ass. I've tried a few times, and also had no luck. A guy in the DC community found out that there is a certain model DC modem that doesn't require a line simulator not too long ago though, so it might be worth looking into again.
there is a guy selling a JVC X'Eye on craigslist. I am always tempted by it, but I already have a genesis/cd/32x so why do I need a goofy 3rd party one?
I saw a guy with in in his hands, if he hadn't have put it back down I would have tackled him. Minty condition! I'm so ecstatic right now! Sells for about 55 bucks unsealed. Sealed is about 100.
Hey guys, just scored something I've always wanted at Goodwill! For 5 bucks!
"youtube vid" Please forgive the extreme shakey cam. Its a phone camera.

Jesus, really? I have two. One sealed and one unsealed.

That's pretty interesting, though I'm PAL, so there's no chance that I have that modem .
I just realised that I lost all my cables for my SNES when I moved last, along with the controllers.
I have the console, my games and nothing else.
If you have a gamecube/N64, the Snes uses the same AV cable afaik. Just FYI.
I tried connecting my SNES with my GC composite cable and the colors were washed out. The other way went fine however. Probably some small change in the resistance of the cable.
During the last gen, I was really into collecting. At one point I had at least 300 current gen games (xbox / ps2 / gamecube) as well as a Sega Genesis (about 50 games) and a SNES (about 100 games). Then once I brokeup with my useless girlfriend (long time coming) I decided to get out more. Now all I have are the current gen systems (xbox360 / ps3 / wii), and a handful of games at a time (I'm a trade-in whore).
But seeing all this old cool shit, makes me want to collect again....

Until I saw the chance to buy one again and bought it on eBay, I wanted one of those RetroUSB adapters that connect SNES controllers to the GameCube/Wii.
I'm so glad I got another chance to buy it (I had been outbid for one, but the guy relisted it).
In case you want to know what it looks like, here is a picture of it:
No more struggling with an ackward position for my hands when playing Megaman Anniversary collection and when I get Kirby 3 for the VC I won't have any problems with the control setup and its lack of a remapping option.
Also, I don't like the idea of having a Classic Controller wired to a Wii Remote.
Well I pretty much own most of the stuff mentioned here.
Complete 64DD with every game released (and some not released) check
Neo Geo Pocket Colour with every PAL game released Check
Mega CD with Snatcher you betcha
AES with loads of awesome wallet raping titles - yes
Well anyway 2 things Ive always wanted were Twinkle Star Sprites on the AES and the Biohazard 5th anniversary briefcase.
1 is about £450 at the moment and /i have little money and the biohazard briefcase I got a few months back, its pure awesome.

Is there one that goes N64 -> GC/Wii? I'm thinking Sin & Punishment would rock even more if it exists and works perfectly.

Unless Nintendo is the one who makes it, or the maker develops some kind of switch for mapping buttons, I doubt it would be easy to create because control configurations vary from game to game.
Not to mention that some USB adapters for N64 controllers have problem with some controller models.
I got an awful lot of the obscure stuff I wanted including the Satellaview and Zelda CD-i games + console, but I always wanted an Asciipad 64 because I loved the Ascii products like the Fighter Stick SN and the AsciiPad for SNES and a certain Bomberman title required it to unlock something.
I also wanted a PlayYan and a DoCoMo adapters for GBC and GBA (along with some way to use them).
I still want Donkey Kong Country Competition Edition and StarFox Championship/Weekend Edition (from Nintendo PowerFest).
I'd also LOVE to have that "official" (prototype) Gamecube LCD that Nintendo demoed software on at some trade shows. They say that it used the digital port (480p) and mounted to the back clip/handle (3rd party ones only used the handle).
I really wanted one of those XBAND things back when they were around in the mid 90s.
I was getting Nintendo Power regularly at the time so they always had a couple of pages devoted to the XBAND/XPLAY stats and usernames. I thought it was interesting. After just now reading the wiki on this, I'm kind of glad I never had it. $4 per HOUR? AND it was horrible service on popular games? Ouch.
What are you talking about? HOURLY play?! Only idiots or rich people in rural areas paid for NATIONWIDE service. Everyone else with paid $10 a month for 50 credits or $20 a month for unlimited connects.
Even then, you make it sound like you'd be playing for an hour. The XBAND would patch games to play a round and then quit with the option to replay. One hour is a ton of Killer Instinct matches. Basically, the long-distance service was a special kind of Sprint service that shared the bill between both players so it ended up being. Deregulated long distance had just reached $0.10 a minute through, you guessed it, SPRINT and this was about $0.05 a minute.

There IS an adapter for N64->GC, and it has a whole bunch of different button configurations made for different games that you can select by holding a button combo when you plug it in/turn the system on.

i guess theyre kinda rare these days, but i really really want all the cave shmup ports for the ps2 and a jpn ps2 to play them on. so badly.
or for some totally awesome company to release a bigass compilation of all of them for a current gen system. that would be cool too. a guy can dream right.
I say it more sag - a, then say - ga. In my opinion at least. Anyway, I was mostly testing my new cameras video function, which works great for youtube.
-MGS: Twin Snakes on GameCube - $15 at GameStop about a year after it came out
-Ico for PS2 - $20 used at a different GameStop
-The original TimeSplitters on PS2 (not sure if this is actually rare but I never see it anywhere)
-Breath of Fire II on SNES (probably not worth that much, but enough to get it put behind glass at Play-N-Trade)
Is the PS2 version of Half-Life (with Decay) rare? I got that for free from work.
My wants:
-Four WaveBird controllers and a Game Boy Player
-The Art of Metal Gear Solid
-All of the SNES greats (Earthbound, Final Fantasy III, Chrono Trigger, etc.)
-Megaman X2 and X3 on SNES
-Ikaruga, either on Dreamcast or GameCube (or both)
-Dreamcast BBA, plus keyboard/mouse/web browser (though it seems the browser is actually extremely common)
I'll definitely think of more in the coming hours.
In my mind, the game is pretty much unplayable on the DualShock controller. You really, really do need a keyboard and mouse. I had been having trouble just aiming at/shooting headcrabs. Decay is the only reason I've held onto that game (could never get the PC port working).

I got mine back in the day from Best Buy for $10. I think I was in the 7th grade or something, I was so happy.

Something maybe a little more realistic, Virtual On sticks for the Dreamcast.

No, these are not rare at all. In fact, the white ones are prone to breaking and burning down your house in the night.
However, I would be willing to take it off of your hands for the generous price of $5 plus shipping. I will PM you my address.

Kind of expensive, though.
Awkward Commentary!
It's the same price as the SNES one.
Man, I want one, but I don't know if I have money to spend on the credit card right now.

If it is, we're both in a pretty lucky boat.
And yeah, Mouse and Keyboard is the only way to go. You know you can plug in keyboard and mouse right?
Hah, that boxart fails.
Anyway, seems you missed my post about your half life post. "You know you can plug in keyboard and mouse right?"
You edited that line in a little bit later. I just barely missed it. I'll try that sometime; the PS2 is all boxed up right now.
Hah, yeah sorry. But yeah, just plug in Keyboard and mouse in and it works great. Can custom map everything I believe.
