Joko Re-Introduction, YAJ/Akiba Shopping Service Offer

LS-33 claimed by a friend.

Other stuff is up for grabs though. Must take all. You’ll need a 14” enclosure to finish the build. Pic below. Again, it’s free, just pay shipping. Will go in the trash in a couple months if nobody wants it.

Round 2 of stuff for sale coming in a couple of weeks. Will include more PCBs, console stuff, and a bunch of Mooks from Japan. At least 2k worth of items, maybe 3k if I decide to sell some stuff I'm on the fence about. Funds will be used for relocation; either to relocate domestically for a job or back to Japan.
 
Sale List. Will give people that watch this thread first dibs before I take pics/videos and post to the sales thread. Don't want to jinx myself by giving details, but I may be relocating in less than a month so everything needs to go. If there are multiple items you want I'll give some discounts as well; just tell me what you want and I'll figure something out. The more you buy, the bigger the discount. You help me, I help you.

PCB:

Sexy Parodius w/GX mb and art. Japan version. $650 Sold for $625 ($25 removed for package deal)

Mr. Driller 2 w/System 10 mb. Japan version. $250 Sold for $225 ($25 removed for package deal)

Street Fighter Zero 2 (Japan) w/Inifinikey and w/NOS Japan region mb with new fan installed. Full art set. ~100 hours on the mb; B-board appears to have been privately owned; no tobacco damage/smell at all. This is a VERY clean set. Will not separate. $650
Note: mb was the one mentioned in this very thread back in 2022. I bought myself a new one, and a friend camped out with me to get @Darksoft one. I used it in Japan for about 2 years for maybe an hour a week at most. It's been in at-home storage ever since.

Street Fighter 2 Turbo (Japan ABC set) CPS1 w/Lions3 case. $400
Note: Japan version sells for a premium compared to world version Hyper Fighting, check Tops or YAJ (non-bootleg sales) to confirm

Wonder Boy 1. Sega System 1. Comes with custom Semload case. $800
Note: For transparency, the labels appear newer than the board. Not sure if rewritten or converted chips. I didn't notice before because I always kept it in the case. Either way it's on a 100% real fully working 1985 System 1 and the game runs perfectly.

Note: if you don't need the case you'll save on shipping but I'm not discounting the price for no case.
Unsold on forum, now on eBay


MV-1FS, consolized w/composite and S-Video output. RGB still possible via JAMMA. Lions3 case. BBS controller adapter that hooks up to JAMMA edge (the mb has inputs too, but they are the deep ones, the BBS board allows regular ole' DB15 cables to be used). Board was professionally re-capped in 2025. $350
Note: I've owned this since 2014. It was my first arcade board. I used it with a cheap 161 in 1 for five years with no issues and it's handled any real cart no issues. Also, I used it with a Darksoft Multi for about a year without issues. Vortex 161 in 1 gave me trouble with games resetting.

Console:


Victor V-Saturn w/Rhea installed, two matching Victor controllers, power cord, SCART cable, SD card. Model 1 system. $400

Console/PC Stick:

Hori RAP3 with monochrome Astro City overlay, new JLX, new Sanwa buttons (green), home button installed, Neutrik port installed, Brook Retro Pi board installed. Works on Switch perfectly. $150 Sold for $125 ($25 removed for package deal)

Japanese Mooks (these were NOT cheap to ship from Japan, the shipping cost is spread across the books)


Super Street Fighter 2X (Gamest Mook) $50
Street Fighter Zero 2 (Gamest Mook) $30
Street Fighter Zero 3 (Gamest Mook) $40

Macross Perfect Memory art book $40
SF25 The Art of Street Fighter (Udon, paperback) $100

SALE LIST ABOVE. First dibs to followers of this thread!

Will post the above to main sales thread in three days. If stars align on my move, the sale window will be ~3 weeks. After that it goes into storage where I may not have access to it for AT LEAST a year and a half.

Wonder Boy is available again. See the edited description for new notes. Lowered price to $800.

Note: I would post pics, but I keep getting errors on both mobile and desktop on this site right now trying to upload pictures.
 
Just want to say a huge thank you to everyone that has bought stuff from me in the last year.

For those that don't know, I got caught up in the DOGE (not the crypto currency) stuff last year and was illegally fired from my government job because I had the audacity to start in June 2024 versus February 2024. Everyone that wasn't a nurse who worked there less than a year was gone. By the time the courts got my job back I had already applied to and been accepted into the MBA program in my hometown of Tucson at the University of Arizona. At the time, there was still a 50/50 shot of getting fired again for another made up reason by the Fall; it was pure chaos at the VA. I decided the best move was to go forward and go ahead and get my masters. I found a loophole to get Uncle Sam to pay for most of it, but not all. Because the program was two years combined into one I knew I wouldn't have time to work even part time and I'd be broke as shit the entire time because I refused to take out any kind of loan.

Over the last year this forum has helped me downsize my collection by around 1/2 and earn $8000 in the process. This cash has gone towards remaining tuition, immigration lawyer fees for my wife to come to America from Japan (still pending), and now that I've graduated and am still job searching it has even helped pay some bills.

Was sad to let some of the stuff go, but at the end of the day my collection was getting too big for me and it feels nice knowing that it has been going to people in the community. Having extra space in the house and less worries about storage/moving issues once I do find work is also an amazing feeling, so thank you. The only big items I have left for sale is that System 1 Wonderboy and the Rhea equipped Victor Saturn, but I'll be posting some small odds and ends over the next month or so as I go through everything at my house.

Anyway, thank you again everyone.
