- Would I be better off tracking down an official stand or should I just make my own?
- How in the world do you power this thing? I've read that it supports AC and batteries. I'm going to take a shot in the dark and guess that you need a controller to power the system, correct?
- If you need a controller to power it, is there any way to "mod" the system to bypass that. I'd really like to test the system with an AC adapter before investing in a controller, stand, etc. If someone had a pinout, that would be great.
- Where could I get the eye cover thing at? I'm assuming eBay of course but are there other places? Could I possibly make one?
- What are some recommended games that wouldn't cost a fortune to buy? I already have Mario Tennis.
- Would I be better off getting a controller and stand for this one or should I sell this one as-is and buy me a complete one later down the road?
Thanks for the help. This would be a neat addition to my collection and would make up for when I sold my 3DO a few months ago.
