The DVD won't play(Because it's Japan region locked) But is there a player I can download besides VLC or change the region code settings in Windows Movie Player Because I read if I change the region code on wmp it could mess it up.
If you are using a dvd player, most of them have "region hacks" which allow you too change the region of your dvd.

Pm if you'd like to help. That way we don't derail the thread. :P I have a Sony DVD player. Guess you'd need more info than that though...

VLC won't play the DVD? That's strange. Whatever region of DVD I throw at the DVD Players on the PCs it always works, whether it's VLC/MPC/WMP.

Maybe try updating it.

Picked up the Dragon Ball GT Lost Episodes collection of individual volumes. Only cost $9.99 used at my local Vintage Stock. And the best part: after opening the resealed plastic, I found that only Vol. 5 in the set had ever been opened by its original owner. The other volumes were still unopened, with the Title Sticker across the top of the DVD cases!

Definitely one of those sudden, spirit-lifting finds :D I just hope one day I can find a similar deal on the final GT singles box set!

You have the DBZ TV Specials on the newer releases, that's pretty cool.

I kinda hate the logo of PS3 because it makes the list split to two sides, one with the old logo and then the other with the modern logo. Dammit Sony don't do it again.

Keep them in a box so they will stay safe and clean.

And that's only half of them, ran out of room and keep the older/bad games in a bag.

This is most of my collection

Seeing as I got a wee bit of a Xmas bonus, I decided to get a little something for myself.

Finally picked up Level 1.2. :thumbup:

Looks like it's gonna have to be the 'season' Blu-Rays from now, though (minus those five episodes that the two 'Level' sets don't cover).

Bought Daizenshuu #8 from eBay a few days ago. Now all I need is #9 and I'll have all 10. :D Speaking of, if anyone has a Daizenshuu #9 that they want to part with, hit me up. This volume seems to be hard to find online nowadays without paying an arm and a leg.

i just tried the Bandai "Design Master" ... i cant film any "game" footage, becouse the LCD is like a classic gameboy display were you could adjust the contrast,
but i dont know how to "play" with this handheld, all i do is draw ...

here is some more information from the assembler forums
[...]
The first cartridge based console launched from Bandai was the DENSI DANGAJUKU and yes i can ask you what i know. If this can give you an idea on its rarity ... i only collect portable systems from the last decades and i own near 350 different ones. But i only listen about the DESIGN MASTER / DENSI MANGAJUKU in recent times.

[...]

But there was a monochromatic system launched by Bandai in 1995 as you see, some years before the WONDERSWAN.... very strange in concept. It used to have touch screen, and 2 kinds of cartridges that can be used alone or in junction: cartridges G (games) and cartridges M (design). Cartridges M allow you to create your own MANGA or ANIME series , original or mixing it with popular characters as Rockman or Street Fighter.

The interesting part is that cartridges G, allow you the use of these design in complex games. I have the ROCKMAN 3 version and i can draw and design ROCKMAN weapon, then i can use it for fighting against enemies. It is a very unknown handheld system and the concept was VERY INTERESTING. At some point , not open source, but allows you to create and design your own games and characters on the go.

[...]

So the DENSI MANGAJUKU is one of the most unknown cartridges systems in the handheld history and was a pity as usual, it was not launched outside of Japan. It was the first cartridge based , dot matrix system launched by BANDAI and not the WONDERSWAN as most people believe.

Yes it is extremely rare and unknown and the most obscure part of the BANDAI HANDHELD history, and it is incredible how the first cartridge system from BANDAI (first GAMEBOY COMPETITOR from BANDAI in other words) was so obscure. The concept is unique as most of Bandai´s creation: no buttons, touchscreen and great graphics with some of the best japanese franchises.
