I bought some games from pceslayer and couldn't be happier with the deal. I wouldn't hesitate to deal with him again.

I hate this style controller but I really wouldn't know how to go about swapping them out. Also for the fact that this system is so rare I wouldn't want to go modifying it. I have 4 games for it and none of them really look to be worth the trouble anyway.

I count 8 pins. The first pic up there is of the controller ports.

I'm in the middle of 2 different projects, getting our "game room" setup and I'm refurbishing and painting a nes system so this system is going to have to get in line. I just shot some pics of the innards for you guys ......
Notice the yellowed dried up tape holding the rf shielding together?
I'll post up higher rez pics as I get into it in a few weeks.

Dusty would be an understatement.
Mainly it's the way the thing was put together. It seems more like a guy in his garage was making these things. I'll try to get some pics up later today.

Yeah when I opened this system up it was "basic" inside but hell a mess.
I've started a new thread for the apf so that we don't hijack this one anymore.

Classic Video Games / APF M1000
« on: June 28, 2012, 09:54:35 am »
I posted a pic of my apf m1000 in this thread ...
http://vgcollect.com/forum/index.php/topic,1418.0.html
... and it seems that a couple of people are interested in it so I decided to make a new thread about it.
When I first got the console from my friend Vic I plugged it in to test and found that it booted up and read the carts but the controllers were unresponsive. I took the console apart and gave it a good cleaning and then tested it again, no change. There it sat until today. I decided that I would give it another try before I go taking it apart. I plug in the system, put in a cart and fire it up. I get a game selection screen (breakout clone with a few different game modes) so I move the joystick up down, nothing. I press the corresponding number button to the numbered selection .... game starts. I move the joystick and the onscreen "breakout paddle" moves ....
Next I choose a 2 player mode and check the second player controller and it fires ...... but now the first player controller has no response. I reset the system and now there's no game selection screen, just starts up into one of the game modes and the first player joystick moves the onscreen paddle.....
What I'm figuring is that one of the joysticks or both have a stuck button or two or three. I'll have to take those joysticks apart and see if a good cleaning will do the trick. I'll be taking some high res pics as requested and posting them here. Here's keeping my fingers crossed.

When you do go pulling it apart, take hi res pics of all the internals and post em up!
Will do.

I took the console apart and cleaned it out but that's all I did. I like to take apart all of my consoles and give the cases a bath and the boards a good cleaning. One of these days I am going to take apart the controllers. I'm okay with a soldering iron but really have no idea what I'm doing unless I'm following instructions.

APF MP1000?
Yes sir, that it is. A friend of mine found it in his inlaws basement while cleaning up and handed it off to me with a few carts. The controllers don't register but the system fires up and all the games boot. It's the rarest item I own.

I've promised my son that one day he will have this game to play on our snes. He's played it through on the emulator and played through a repro cart of earthbound zero on the nes and even played through the translated rom of mother 3. I just can't pay what is being asked for this game no matter how good it is. We can wait for the bubble to burst or maybe get lucky one day.
