LOL! I know exactly how that goes! ;)

I have a 1 slot NeoGeo with a fault - the DTACK line is never asserted. If I 
tie it high, then my one and only Fatal Fury cart actually runs! :O

The only reason I have a PS3 is that it came free with my TV; it gets used 
as a media client 99.99% of the time. You could quite literally count the 
number of hours I've spent playing games on it on one hand. Then again, I 
just bought Sega Classic Collection for it the other day!

Sigh - it never ends...
