    If you manage to get your hands on one of those elusive sd2snes carts, you can now play a laserdisc game "Road Blaster" on the SNES (source http://dforce3000.de/). Quite an achievement.



    Coming in at a hefty 800 MB, this is technical a showcase for what a SNES CD add-on "could have been" :eek:

    Ah that's feckin brilliant! Thanks for posting it.


    Was only watching videos of Road Blaster the other day, after they appeared in the related videos while watching a gameplay of "RoadBlasters".


    That Road Blaster laserdisc game is renowned for having such real life physics! ;)

    The SD2SNES (seen as the "ultimate" SNES flash cart) will be available soon to the general public http://www.assemblergames.com/forums/showpost.php?p=556170&postcount=36 Looks like the SD2SNES guy is partnering with the Everdrive guys :D

    That is the best news you could hope for with SD2Snes really! :D

    Now every retro enthusiast will be able to get their hands on it......
    eventually.

    If the price will be lower due to volume, I might just have to buy one along with a SNES!
    Edit: will probably be the opposite actually! The creator is probably making the first batch close to cost.


    God damn this forum it has me wanting to buy a vectrex now and everything! :p

    Really hope the postman brings my everdrive MD this week.

    However there is a new revised hardware "Mega Everdrive" coming soon with a lot of new features. So again, hold off if you can.

    Completely forgot about this until today, when I bumped across this thread of features planned for the Everdrive:

    http://www.assemblergames.com/forums/showthread.php?t=36123

    The save states, instant loads and firmware update sraight from SD will probably be the most useful features.
    Netplay would be amazing too if he can pull it off, but would be quite difficult to implement.

    There's a video of Krizzz demonstrating the save states here, he's using Start + Up / Down to save and load them in-game!


    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WkXEr-uV9KE



    I'm not sure if I'd part with my Everdrive MD to upgrade to this when it comes out.

    I think I'll try and beat the games the old fashioned way rather than relying on save states for now.

    I'm having an absolute blast with Everdrive MD all week, must take pictures of the finisihed cart soon, and what tools I used.

    And after playing Sega emulators for years, I now realize how essential the 60Hz mod is!

    Everything feels like it's in slow motion on the real thing.

    I've not got an everdrive so this new version seems to be the one to get.
    It's a bit on the pricey side but I guess its well worth it.

    Roms writing in a couple of seconds?
    Exiting to the ROM menu in game and changing games without resetting?
    Save states???

    Ah man, now my Everdrive feels like a piece of junk!

    I may convince myself I need this. Leave the old everdrive with the Nomad and use the new one with a console (I hate having to get up off the chair to reset and change game - especially when the write went wrong and the game wont boot)

    PC Engine /Turbo Graphics Everdrive coming soon - "Turbo Everdrive"

    scaled.php?server=268&filename=dsc0368ln.jpg&res=landing

    That Turbo Everdrive is going to be a stone cold insta-buy for all pc engine and TG16 owners.
    Given the incredible star line up of games on the format you'd be mad not to get it, Bomberman, R-Type, BC Kid, Alien and Devil Crush, just to name a few.
    The console really should replace the NES as the console you must own to be considered a true Retro gamer, all non owners are just plastic, phoney, casual retro gamers, wannabe types, gods bless them... ;)

    I find emulation to be quite far removed from the experience of sitting playing the real thing. It's all so, 'fake'

    Well, it is the act of running a model on a computer, and models, by their very nature are generally hot and wear small bikinis...
    Oh wait...

    ...models are ultimately always a marked by their respective of compromises, even the mature systems that are emulated, the Nes, Snes, MD, have issues that mark them as not quite the real thing.

    If you are doomed to never own a Nes that actually works, emulation may well be the way to go, official on a VC of course, but nothing replaces the actual hardware, this is not a recommendation, it's not a suggestion by an enthusiast, it's as true as gravity, it's a law!

    I predicted this drug pandemic nearly a month ago, but you all laughed at me.

    Right, I think I need to ask for my PS1 back off the person I'm not talking to at the moment....

    or just buy another one as they're so cheap:

    Got a file already, has everything I will need, except the time to play them all!

    The only problem I see with this Turbo Everdrive is the open nature of the PCB, no HuCard can cover that.
    I wonder if someone will produce a custom cover that we can buy?

    Still, should be a blast!

    Any idea how long these will take to ship?

    When did they open for orders?

    I was thinking of maybe using some Sugru to make a cover for it. It would be fairly permanent so I'm a bit hesitant to do it.

    Stoneagegamer say they'll be looking into a deluxe version which may use some sort of cover.
    I'm not too bothered as the Shuttle has a cover for the card slot built-in.
