obnoxious

The flux feels like wood varnish, very dry and not sticky at all so I left it there. Yeah, I'm thinking about preserving the labels, not sure how yet. They are just barely glued to the ABS. I like the "factory reconditioned" sticker also. Cleaning these devices is like a therapy, specially when it's old but still in good shape. I have a thing for bringing old abandoned things back to use/life, restoration and such. Feels good.

I have a "Zelda 2 - The Adventure of Link" CIB to post, have you decided on a standard for the pictures?

Nevermind, got it

Not much, just cleaned my new Atari 2600 Light Sixer

Just noticed it's a light sixer, edited the original text. Left that board as it was, just removed dust from the switches and such. Thanks.

Another picture, the forum compresses them and it loses quality

I'm cleaning this 2600 light sixer and noticed this sweet like substance on it's boards. I think it may be a leftover soldering substance but also could be some kind of anti-rust protection. Should I remove it with isopropylic alcohol?

I'll get them all, PM me

I'll use json, for sure. Amazing spec. The hardest part is making a "build system" for free form inputs. Totally doable at a later time. I'll begin with adding items to the collection and go from there.

The next few weeks I'll be busy but I already found a game database and I'm collecting (damn) all the information you're giving me. Up to now, the primary need is avoiding buying duplicates, followed by metadata (where it was bought, how much was paid, variation specific info) and then collection value. Maybe, I'll add a ordering generator: it will suggest how you should order them in your shelf, by title, year, publisher, genre and so on. In my mind it would be awesome The most difficult would be fcgamer's use case but I think it's doable.

What GVN lacks that made you try exporting it to price charting? What feature neither have that you'd need/like?

I'm considering building a system focused on hardcore collectors. Cartridges would have information like seal type (the round/oval thing), hangtab, 3/5 screws and so on... Maybe a nice data base with the title's/system's release date, publisher and so on.... Also some financial history like how much was paid for the item and whatever people think it's worth maintaining for later reference. But it's more of a personal project while I learn this stuff (I always hated frontend development but I gotta catch up).

How do you keep track of cartridges, devices and whatever you collect? I'm beginning my studies on front-end development and wondering if there's a demand for such kind of software.

eBay NES auctions gonna go brrrrrrrr
