Organization: Honeywell Systems & Research Center

I recently received a SEGA Game Gear and have enjoyed all the information
concerning the Level select codes for Sonic.  It appears to me (and I'm a
rank amateur at this) that all the codes apply only to the home version,
not the Game Gear version.  Can you level select Sonic on the Game Gear,
and if so, what are the codes?  Thanks for any information on this subject.
Feel free to post or email.

A really BIG RPG would be great, the problem is that if Sega started on one
tomorrow it would take about 2 years for it to come out. Heck it's taking 
Sega over a year and a half to release 3X3 Eyes and Dark Wizard for the 
Mega-CD. I guess
bigger means more work for the programmers. I would venture a guess that the
biggest RPGs that will come out for the Sega CD within a year will be Dark
Wizard(this one is almost complete,really), Might and Magic 3, Dungeon Master,
and maybe Y's 4 and Shining Force CD. As for shooters, I really wouldn't mind 
another one as long as it's Thunderforce 5.

This is how to do it.   I did the same thing at the very left.

Hi!  I'm looking for a source for the chips in SNES controllers.  They appear
to be made by Mitsumi, and they have the designation "V520" on them.  This
is the chip name (or number).  So I need a good source for them.  You can't
get the stuff from Nintendo, 'cause they just don't do that.  

The chips are real easy to blow - either by plugging or unplugging the
controller with the power on, or static can kill 'em also.

These are 20 pin surface mount jobs.

If this is in a FAQ that I don't know about, please tell me, and I 
apologize in advance.

Otherwise, please e-mail any info to me, and I'll post a summary to the net.

Thanks in advance,

Stu.

Well, I've been reading this newsgroup since I bought a Sega Genesis
a few months ago.  And, yes, I find this thread extremely irritating.
I spent most of my free time during high school in the local arcades,
and loved the early Atari & Colecovision stuff, though I did not have
much money to buy alot of games.

I would say that probably 1/3 of my female friends enjoy video
games.

You guys with girlfriends who despise video games might want to
think twice about the women you choose to date.  If this is something
you really like to do, find yourself someone who can share in the
fun!

Not all women are caught up in the stereotypical female role, ya know.
Though maybe you're only interested in the ones that ARE.

It sounds like you are trying to understand a game completely before you even
plug it in.  I find that its a lot easier to understand software (game or
otherwise) by messing around with it at the same time as I read the manual.

Besides, the manuals for video games are usually poorly written (if not
contradictory!) and are always incomplete.  After I've played the game a while,
I go back and re-read the manual - by then I can usually figure out what it was
trying to say.

    Okay, I just got out my trusty ohm meter to check out this cable and here's
what I found.  Looking straight into the connector:

The center pin on the bottom (not the center pin, but the one that would be at
6 o'clock) goes to the outside of both the audio and video RCA connectors.  I
guess that it is a ground or something.  Now you skip one pin to the right and
use the next one (3 o'clock) this one goes to the center of the audio RCA jack.
Now you use the pin on the opposite side ( skip one to the left from the bottom,
(9 o'clock)) this one goes to the center of the video RCA jack.

Thats it.  At leasts that's all mine has.  If this thing actually does
stereo and I payed 10 bucks fot this mono cable I'm gonna be mad.  BTW, I
bought it from Toys 'R' Us.
