Working on resurrecting a Darkstalkers B board, and generally wanting to collect a couple CPS2 games. Right now, I'm looking for "entry" level boards to dip my toes in the water.
I am currently under the assumption that I have a good USA A board, so I am looking for at least a single B board that is known to be working. In this case, "working" just means that it boots consistently. Graphical glitches can be acceptable, physical case damage is OK, and I don't have a preference between Phoenixed, Infinikeyed, and battery-powered boards. Undesirable games are fine too. Again - I just need something that "works". Of course, if a board has issues I would hope the price reflects that. I don't have a regional preference either, and I would consider bundles with multiple boards, as well as spare A boards.
I hesitate to say that I am looking for "inexpensive" boards - to many that may imply that I want to pay nothing for something. I just mean that to say that I'd prefer boards to come from the US due to shipping cost, and I'm not looking for any "heavy hitters" in terms of rarity (and therefore cost). For the purposes of calculating shipping, please calculate based on shipping to St. Louis, MO.
I'm new to this forum, but have 30+ confirmed transactions on the Hardwareswap subreddit, 100+ 100% positive feedback on eBay. I'd be happy to message back and forth on those platforms for the purposes of confirming my identity. I would be happy to give those usernames to anyone with items that I am interested in, or if a mod would like to see some ID.
In the title, I marked this as up for potential trades as well - I have a fair amount of PC equipment that I would be willing to trade for CPS2 equipment, if interested. Most notably a few 1TB 3.5" HDDs and a Gigabyte z77n-wifi ITX board with an i7-3770 (NON K) for trade, among other PC components. I don't know how much trading goes on around here though!
