First, I know I can auto region detect. I know how to get the games running. Just not the way I want to run it.

I have a specific issue.

I want to try to run PAL Soleil, AKA Crusader of Centy with my Analogue Mega SG forced into NTSC-USA mode. I tried using a game genie code with the Mega ED Pro. Next, I tried disabling the game genie, and enabling the MegaKey in the Everdrive menu.

I'm trying to see how a real cartridge would play if the region lock was bypassed. The Sega Retro website doesn't cover how region locked games play if you defeat region lock. At least not to my knowledge. I would like to figure this out for a few PAL games.

Thanks.

I need to list a pretty expensive Yamaha turntable. I am estimating the value to be between $1,500.00-$2,500.00. I understand that I need signature tracking, and that UPS will be the cheapest route. I already figured that up in pirate ship.

I used to work at UPS briefly. A very long time ago. I know they won't pay insurance out unless I let them pack the turntable. I am fine with that.

Here are my issues.

1. How can I even list the item with an estimated shipping cost by location when I have no idea where it's going, or how much it will cost for USPS to pack it? I don't even know the dimensions after UPS packages it. I am definitely not offering free shipping. I could drive it to UPS to get an idea, but without an address I'm not sure they could even help me. The items dimensions are already 19x22x10 and 34 lbs 15 oz before even being packaged by UPS.
2. In Pirate ship the cost to buy a label through them, without having UPS pack it, is already $135.00. Which is fine, but it's over $200.00 in store without the eBay / Pirate Ship discount. Seeing as how I need to have UPS pack this, I don't want to have to pay almost double by paying for shipping in store. I am curious if there is a way to still get the eBay shipping discount if I have UPS package this for me.

I am open for suggestions here.

I need to be as protected as possible, make sure the buyer has to sign, and be certain that insurance will pay out if the package is lost or stolen. Because having worked at UPS I know it can easily be destroyed.

Thanks.

I've been misdiagnosed with Chronic Sinusitis for about 23 years. A few years ago, after much pushing and advocating for my own health, I was told I have Atypical Trigeminal Neuralgia. I've had Brain and Cervical Spine MRIs, and ruled out MS. They look normal, but no answers.. I have BEGGED my family doctor and my dentist to get me to a TMJ doctor. I've had 4 doctors tell me they don't exist anymore.

I told my dentist about my issue, and he said "you'll probably have to live with it".

I begged the lady at his office for help finding a TMJ doc, and they got another dentist in the same practice to talk with me. He got me a deprogrammer in addition to my old bite guard. My regular dentist, who owns the practice didn't like this, and has been extremely rude to me since. My family Dr. told me "it's too hard for me to find a TMJ Doc", and proceeded for me to take Amitriptyline and get Botox.

I kept telling everyone that I don't want addicting meds yet, but I would be open to it if we can figure out the root cause and there is no hope for me. All my doctors and dentists have basically disowned me, or started treating me badly.

I've had inflamed temporal flap discomfort for 23 years. In addition to insane and nauseating sinus areas discomfort over half my life. On the bridge of my nose, between my eyes, middle forehead, left cheek, and top of my forehead area. Sometimes I even get discomfort in my cervical spine and between my shoulder blades. All this In addition to the temporal flap discomfort. The amount of discomfort... There are no words to describe.

I poured over this sub today. Your book is on the way, the thick one. I watched about 4 hours of your podcast, and I scheduled an appointment for May 4th with a ICCMO Accredited dentist.

I am literally almost in tears of joy, praying this is the answer. I have known for the last 2 years that it probably is, but no doctors know what to do with me.

I have flare ups when I wake up, when I eat, when I talk too long, and especially during hot weather, and rapid weather changes. I have 2 crown from grinding and cracking my teeth as well.

THANK YOU for providing the information to help me get the help I most likely need. I'm confident I can ride out the next 10 days high on positivity that this doctor "Micheal Firouzian" can provide me with some relief.

Thanks again!

I will be posting back here to update.

Are there any websites that have in stock beginner Left-Handed Flamenco guitars? Preferably that are USA-based?

I want one with a Golpeador. No cutaway, and no electronics.

I am indecisive on Flamenco Blanca or Negra. I think Negra sounds better for me, but I think it's going to come down to what is available lefty.

I don't live near a luthier.

I'm not sure my price point. Some options would be nice. I was thinking under $500.00, but after research I can't find anything, let alone a budget beginner model.
