A Nuon?

Now that’s a system I’ve never seen before

Appears completely dead, quickly found the culprit… a blown fuse

Should be an easy fix then can burn a game and test operation!

Got a sweet new RGB Scart cable from @misirajeduart.bsky.social to use with my modded Virtual Boy!

It's a custom SNES cable with 3.5mm Stereo audio connector to grab audio from the headphone jack on the VB and pass it through to the CRT / Retrotink

Visited a very big Manga Souko far away from the center of #fukuoka. Found some more cheap #pcengine and #hudsonsoft #famicom games. Forgot to take photos of the inside, *doh*. And I bought 3 a bit more expensive PCe shmups, because I keep seeing my friend buy them expensive games! #retrogaming
