I picked this up over the weekend as well. I can't say I much care for the amount of space the box takes up (the same goes for SMT IV).

I need to get off my duff and find one of those KH Deluxe boxes. ^^;

A visit to the eye doctor limited my funds for looking around for stuff this weekend other than the Hakouki LE box. Last weekend I picked up some titles at different places for current gen systems. I did find a minty CIB Rocky & Bullwinkle & Friends for regualr GameBoy for $10 at a local mom n pop store.

A pirate, though, right? Is it identical when it loads?

It's the Japanese version.

Picked this up a couple days ago. Paid $175 for it. The DS-16 in it is in awesome shape and works perfect. Sad part no key.

If it's locked with one of those old arcade locks, they are very easy to pick with a cheap lock pick set. FYI.

Its just the lock to open up the DS-16 which I don't think I need since the carts aren't locked in. I have access to the inside of the cabinet. I should probably pick up a lock pick kit just to have on hand though. I've picked up several arcade cabs with missing keys.

The cam locks in old arcade games can usually be drilled or pried open very easily. Most of the time after a couple moments of drilling into the core, the latch will spin around and allow you to get inside - if the whole thing doesn't fall apart almost immediately. I've also had luck with a big screwdriver simply shoving it into the lock and turning. Of course if you can get the back door of a cabinet off you can usually just reach inside and unscrew the lock latch from within.

Ohh, I've already gotten into the cabinet areas. I took the TV bezel off and slid the TV out through the front to get access then just unscrewed the back cabinet lock from there it was pretty easy. Also the front plastic display where the system and the DS-16 unit sit is just screwed in so that is super easy. There is actually a small cylinder lock on the DS-16 unit it self, and I don't want to try prying it. I don't even feel I need to open the unit.

There is one shown here where you can see the lock I'm talking about easily
