Finding an FM Towns Marty controller, and MSX2 HB-F1 power supply

[theclaw]

The FM Towns Marty with no cables I imported powers up (luckily same AC cord as Xbox). Boot screen looks and sounds right. I just can't do much lacking an input device. You guys have leads? It is excruciating for us outside Japan to acquire much of *anything* related to their old computers without contacts and selling limbs after all...

Also received that MSX2 HB-F1 I'd hinted at a while ago. It has no power adapter. Even more useless that way ATM. Hmm.

How much are you looking to spend? Here's an FM Towns Marty Controller (at least I think it's Marty):

they're sold out on the cheaper one they have/had. You could always email them about it tho.

Cheaper one: http://en.item.rakuten.com/surugaya-a-too/1103846-1/

Hope this helps.

Well is there a difference from the FM Towns computer?

[mobiusclimber]

I have no idea. I don't own either, just thought the links might be of help. Again, I'd suggest just emailing the seller if someone on here doesn't know.

D'oh! LOL Sorry, nevermind the controller. I was being hasty. Forgot to dig around further in the bottom of the box. No games, it's just an expensive audio CD player for now.

In that case, I'd suggest searching the other stuff that seller has. I think he has a few cheap Marty games at least. Problem is shipping, which is always EMS. I've made one $220 purchase, half of which was shipping, but I got a ton of great games out of at around $5 shipped apiece.

Yeah... TBQH I was thinking of taking advantage of the huge ebay premium on complete panasonic q's. if i'm lucky to come across cheap ones.
