WTB Deathsmiles 2 PC (broken is ok) + Poster

[fuzzbuddy]

Anyone willing to sell a Deathsmiles 2 PC (broken is ok too!)

Also looking for the poster rolled - offering loads of money for it, as it's the last one I need.

These apparently don’t last too well in the post. Real pity these units are so dodgy. I want one but don’t want to take the gamble. I read that @rancor had issues with DOA ones before.

The art set pops up on eBay from time to time, I’ll keep an eye out mate.

Thanks pal

I'm currently looking for the OS image. Does anyone here have a backup? (preferably with the I/O launcher patch).

 

[rancor]

I would never buy, sell, or send one of those to anyone in good conscience. In fact, I talk people out of bidding on them any time they pop up and I'm asked to. They are absolute garbage, and EVERY.SINGLE.ONE. I have bought on Yahoo has arrived to me, or the buyer dead. They are not repairable. Don't buy one. Seriously. They're junk.

How unrepairable are they, though?
Aren’t they simply consumer-grade Windows PCs with a locked HDD, much like a Taito Type X?

Yeah, unless the IO or dongle is busted, it should be perfectly repairable.

There's a thread on AO for some common problems:

Could one of you helpful chaps PM me with the OS image with the launcher .exe patch by any chance?

 

[fuzzbuddy]

Looking for the poster too (good money paid).

Also the PC can be broken, I don't mind as long as it has the IO intact.
