Are you insinuating I'm some kind of black hat hacker? Nah, I meant it in the comedic monocle wearing sir sense. Like the way o1s1n has a pantry & the pyongster has a mountain lodge.

My hacking abilities are about ten years old, best I was able to do was gain access to Win 98 boxes through an lmhosts hack. I did leave a note saying I was there though & how to close the vulnerability See, I'm not all bad!

No one with a pantry or gold wallpaper in his drawing room could possibly ever instigate a slagging assault.

I am deeply offended you would associate me with such a base practice.

Just got a replacement power supply from Mitch; it's a MD-9916A
The inputs are marked as AC 1 and AC 2, does anyone know whcih is live and which is neutral; also there's no COM connection on it (the old one had 2); are these needed?

Did you cover the master system and game gear games? I really liked those ones and only found out recently that they were made by Yuzo Koshiro's development team Ancient, which explains why the music in them was amazing.

Yep

i threw out a special mention to this one:

Which is like happiness on crack for me.

next time I should be more prepared, I didnt intend to waffle as much on the comics and personal things.

We pretty much only covered sonic 1991-1995 so if there is a part 2 planned we still got the GBA and all the 3d games to talk about and I'd like to do that with someone mostly for the actually argument on what went wrong with each title.

I had a tiny rant on my hatred of Chaotix on the day...

BlitzKrieg

Also I never got to talk about this cause we didnt reach it:

One of the more obscure nods back to classsic sonic in the newer games.

Just to confirm, same crosshatch pattern with the consolegoods scart & a Samsung lcd

I'll just buy the official one. Crazy why they can't just replicate what's in the bloody official cable like

I disconnected pin 16 on this in the end, so it's basically a composite scart now. It's still far better than the oversaturated Blaze cable...but it's still composite At least now the console is playable.

Not many official cables around at all...

You can't be as bad as me in fairness

The personal bits are what make it interesting to listen to.. otherwise you might as well read Wikipedia aloud to yourself and not bother with the podcast at all.

The less said about Sonic Underground the better......
Speaking of Sonic, picked up the GM 20th anniversary magazine on Zinio last night.
Mainly stuff I already knew but still a nice little retrospective

Hackers gonna hack :mad:
I hate when I have to hack my own web servers to get in so I can protect them from other hacks.

Bah!!

One of my co-workers made a Pac Man analogy today then told me I'm too young to know or remember Pac Man.

Some cool looking neon gifs, related to films mainly but thought some folks here might like them.

Anyone own or know much about these SNES adapters that let you play Mega Drive Cartridges?



This one was spotted on this page, a fair bit down:

http://www.dannychoo.com/post/en/26517/Japanese+Retro+Games.html


And TotoTek have one called RetroGen:

http://www.tototek.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_6_12&products_id=148




Do they both have the same hardware inside ye reckon?


Review of the Tototek one here, must watch it when I get home:

Aye. That yoke was posted here not so long ago I think and I couldn't understand why anyone would use such a thing. Not like an MD is expensive to buy. Not likely anyone would want to use a Snes pad with an MD game (that presumably wasn't already available on the Snes)?

Maybe it's interesting as a tech proof of concept or something.

Yeah I posted the Tototek one a while ago, its just a curiosity as ya said

That photo of the snes is really lovely the way the focus is.

All for the device itself, it's a weird one alright. Almost sacrilegious!

Every time someone puts crap speedmetal in a youtube video as background music , god kills a kitten.FACT!
That adaptor would have been the business twently years ago when you either had a SNES or a Meg but its probably more of a curio now.

DinoRex

I'd only be interested in Tototek if it replaced all in-game music with Toto's Africa!
