    Are you not disgusted by the consoles hooked up to LCDs? :p Just kidding. Be nice if there was something remotely like that over here alright.

    Do any of you guys have a Hyper Neo Geo 64 setup going on? If so, would you happen to know if Beast Busters 2 plays near as awesome as it looks?

    I have a Hyper 64. I don't have that game so cant comment on it.

    I think I'd need a different version on the hyper 64 to play it anyway as I have the fighter version and you can only play fighters on that :(

    Its around the 50 mark, not sure if you have to buy a daughter board or if it comes with one, so as to connect it up.
    It only supports disk images too, D64, not tape ones, T64, so I don't know if that hampers one with the games you'd want to play.

    Would there not be an easy way to convert tap images to disk? I know the amstrad had a device that could copy the memory once a game had loaded to disc or tape. Might be a problem for multiloads though.

    Its ok, It can:cool:


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 50,705 CMod ✭✭✭✭Retr0gamer


    It does, badly. The compatibility list that MS have is utter lies and very few original xbox games will actually play without a hitch on the system.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 23,316 ✭✭✭✭amacachi


    Don't rely on it, lot of issues with different games.

    I just want fable and gta san andreas but they are a bit pricey to download directly


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators, Regional Abroad Moderators Posts: 15,183 Mod ✭✭✭✭Atavan-Halen


    Just picck up an original xbox, they're cheap enough. You could also get GTA for the PS2.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 50,705 CMod ✭✭✭✭Retr0gamer


    Or PC which would be the better bet due to all the great mods for the games. Any old PC will run them these days.

    Or... I could just get gta on xbox arcade:cool:
    Does anyone know of any epics on xbla?


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 50,705 CMod ✭✭✭✭Retr0gamer


    I find the games on XBLA are way too expensive considering you could get the console with the game for the same price.

    Well I've never seen a xbox with Gta for 11 euro:rolleyes:
    Are you on xboxlive?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 23,316 ✭✭✭✭amacachi


    An original Xbox goes for what, 20-30 quid?

    The emulation on the 360 is quite poor and seems to vary from console to console.

    Car boot sale. An xbox is not worth a lot of money.

    If you find one, softmod it and you'll have a media centre and emulation machine as well. Much better value than a virtual XBLA download.

    Is it difficult to softmod one?


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 50,705 CMod ✭✭✭✭Retr0gamer


    Not really but getting a lend or finding the right equipment and games that let you do it is the problem.

    I do have it and must say I'm not a fan of it.
    Only played it for a few mins but it just didn't click.

    I have an Xbox around here somewhere, may softmod it to give it super powers, or rather get Kerbdog to mod it to give it the power of streaming.
    I already have one doing very well in the living room, and there is a large emu library there-in as well.
    There be other things too but, never mind, Mwa hahaha!

    Must stick it on Adverts some time.

    But yes, buy an Xbox and get a ton of games with it for bugger all at the Sunday markets, they are cropping up now with alarming regularity, I am going to refrain from buying any more as they are not as popular as the 16bit systems with the retro fans.

    I got 2 machines, sans controllers, with about 12 games, including the GTA twin pack, for 11 euro, got the two machines home and they work a treat.
