I get this alot so I will answer in public... I have mentioned before I design action figures for a living, you can take a peak at the photography section of this tutorial from my real jobs website http://www.kylerobinsoncustoms.com/links/starters.htm

ignore all the stuff about "figures" and apply it customs..lol. (and yes, this is old, 6mpx...lol.. c'mon)

but yeah, diffusion is god amongst product photography. the background I use is silver, adds even more light disbursement.

also, here is blog about my light bulbs from a while back, im sure you can still find them

Yeah, as far as I know, he is doing his testing on NEStopia for Mac. It should take to any emulator just fine.

Right on Leroy!!!! Your the man

1. Disassemble
2. Thoroughly clean with warm water and grease removing dishsoap
3. Thoroughly dry
4. Lightly sand smooth any nicks, dings, scuffs, or scratches with super fine grain sand paper
5. apply base coat of automotive adhesion promoter (makes paint 100% stronger on ABS plastics)
6. paint desired design or color scheme in well ventilated room, around room temperature. (painting in the cold is no no)

As far as brands are concerned, I it really does not matter as long as your taking your time and applying nice light coats, multiple times. I prefer Krylon quality or above. Adhesion promoter can be purchases at any automative store that carries paint (If you can afford it, I suggest you buy your paint there too)

I prefer satin or even flat to gloss or high gloss enamels since they tend to ripple and also not take to other gloss paints very well.

there 1000 other tricks and technique, but that pretty much comes with experience... I suggest carrying spray cans with where ever you got and defiling anything that is hidden enough from the public eye for you not to get caught. 

(that last part is optional )

Various places.

large broken eBay lots I repair myself
thrift stores
trades
Supply from online shops such as Nonfinite, Kitsch, DMGs-R-Us

most of these will end up being just custom cases, about 10-20 will be full DMGs and either auctioned off, or sold as request.

I mainly scour ebay for hours for big boxes of broken DMGs for like 10 bucks. Then repair them when possible.
