slow down roman78, you can't use a super famicom cart in a SNES. they were made to not interface with each other.

EBAY, or craigslist. You can find anything on both of those places. :3

Hi all,
I'm a new member here so i thought i would "break the ice"
by sharing a find i had a couple of days ago before Xmas at the
local rubbish tip.

Whilst unloading the trailor at the local tip i kicked a cardboard box
out of my way & noticed an Atari cart dislodge from it, thinking to
myself "there could'nt be could there? " i picked up the box &
had a look inside. Besides some old car magazines the box
contained a complete Megadrive 11 console setup, stand alone joystick plus
15 games in covers with only 1 game missing its booklet & a
Master system to Megadrive cart adaptor. There was also 12 Atari
carts for the XE system, lightgun for the XE plus an Atari power pack
i can only assume was for an XE. I checked other boxes from the same
dump lot but alas no more treasure.

Upon arriving home i tested the megadrive power pack with a
multimeter, it works, so why was it discarded, maybe the unit
itself is defective, only one way to find out & that is to set it up.
I set it up on the spare TV & it fired up straight away with all
the games in working condition, why would someone throw out
a classic working system like a Megadrive, beats me but i always
wanted a megadrive.

Although none of this gear is rare it still qualifies as a find so i hope i'm not
out of place posting it here.

Here's a pic of what i came home with, excuse the quality as i had to use a cheap phone.


Cheers.

Welcome to the forums and that is a great way to introduce yourself. Finds like that are always the best, I love when this kind of thing happens. Imagine how releived the SEGA must feel. Remember, a console is not just for Christmas, its for life.

Thanks for the welcome guys, actually it was this find that ultimately led me to this site,
searching for an emu for the Atari XE, after browsing this site what can i say, no need to go
anywhere else.

That's an awesome find McMallee and I'm right there with you... why on earth would you throw something like that away. Looks like it was good in the end for you!
