What's the furthest lengths you've gone to play one game?

Bought a mod chip and a Japanese copy of MvC2 and SegaGT on Dreamcast. Ended up frying my console trying to put in the chip, exchanged the console at Walmart, then like 2 days later learned about the lid trick to play any game on it. Turned out SegaGT was pretty solid but MvC2 was trash.
