Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Might just be the games. The SNES has a terrible CPU so is riddled with slowdown when there's a few sprites on screen. Also the PAL releases might have been optimised since there was usually 12-18 months between the PAL and JAP release.

Yeah probably the games, the Megaman X lag is ridiculous at times though. On the plus side 60hz starfox is a really nice experience.

Is it an RPG? I'm not in the mood for an RPG

There's some good neo geo pocket games going cheap as well, for example:

You know, I was going to say that but figured people would want to ease off on Retr0 for a while, allow the wounds to his ego to heal....
Looks like I figured wrong!

As far as workmanship goes, it looks nice.
As an object in itself, it is completely and utterly pointless. Want to play the game on original hardware? Buy a flash cart.
Want the original game? Save up and buy it.
What purpose this serves I don't know?
Don't know much about that game or repro's in general but how is it region free and what's inside the cart? A pcb from another 32X game with the roms swapped or something?
For all his attention to detail he could at least spell deluxe as one word ffs. :pac:
Inside the cart would be a donor board from another 32X game he killed with some burned eeproms and an ugly mess of wires!0 -

Is there any obvious way to tell it's a repro compared to the original? Other than the original is hard to come by complete and in that good a condition? It only seems an attractive purchase for a someone else to try and sell on as an original and scam someone less knowledgeable.0 -

Is there really no way of sourcing a few carts made from the original moulds? I find that a little surprising.
The only reason I never opened up a cart to take a calipers to it and make a 3d printable cad file was I figured a job lot of empty pristine carts turns up on eBay or whereever so no DIYer would care.
Wonder how much it'd cost to get an original but compatible cart design made and sent from a Shapeways store (though I never thought to search for existing ones there either).0 -

This guy did a Kickstarter to bring Star Castle to the 2600.
The cart is pretty damn sweet.0 -

Decent repro makers will create games which don't exist. So say an NSTC Genesis Wily Wars, a PAL Eliminate Down.. that I don't so much mind and I don't think is really that dishonest.
The scam artist thing on the other hand of exact replicas is exactly what I worry about. The better they get, the more paranoid you have to be about buying expensive originals. It may even get so bad that one day you have to crack your carts open to check for eeproms. Something you have to do with MVS carts for example, and it's an absolute pain!
I'd almost forgotten about that site full of photos of circuitboards and photos of labels. I don't think I'd ever be able to collect those. Wondering if I'm buying an expensive fake would ruin knowing I've a game on its way to me in the mail. 0 -

I did not realise that Starfox 64 had an unlockable on foot mode.
It looks a bit naff though.0 -

You should pass, A+ is easy. Creating & account on boards & actively posting is more complicated than the A+ curriculum
You have got to be joking me.
That was bloody tough but thank Rockford i Passed:D
Total score 770 so a very comfortable pass

Well done dude, I'm sick of exams myself so have decided to take a break from them for at least a year. My last tech exam was last year and it's been nice not having to prep for anything for the last 6 months or so
You moving on to the N+ now sparks?
