The saturn will probably need a new battery every 18 months. It's built so it's easy to replace.

Not sure about the dreamcast models to look for but a google will help. IIRC it's only the final model Dreamcast that won't play back ups.

Which can be resolved easilly enough by replacing the BIOS chip and reflashing a different firmware, preferably the Link82 Hybrid Firmware.

The controller ports on the DC can be fried but the daughter board supplying them can be swapped out.
It's the only commercial liquid cooled games machine don't you know!

Only the initial japanese launch units were.

Edit: Actually no machines were ever liquid cooled.

The thought the first run Jap DC's were liquid cooled?

Nope that's a rumour that's been going around for years. They were initially planned to be but they were replaced with heat pipes since they found it wasn't necessary. there's still lots of people claiming the heat pipes are filled with liquid.

Ah, I see.
Yeah, doesn't really make sense for them to be liquid cooled(from a cost and technological point of view).

Awww, Retr0, you're mean, spoiling my nostalgic memories
But my DC was a launch one and the control board did fry

But Kerbdog saved the day! Hooray!

You can't blame your colostomy bag bursting over your dreamcast on the liquid cooling failing.

It was a Birds Eye boil in the bag beef curry....
At least that's what I'm saying and I'm sticking to it....

Shapey Fiend

Remember the rumour the Sega Menacer was going to have force feedback? Then I heard it still had it but it was Japanese exclusive.

How much was the Micro?
I have the G&W DK jr too, thankfully scratch free!

So while I ponder on what next Sega system to invest in (looking like a Dreamcast, want a red one!) my Vita Slim came in the post, jaysus its actually beautiful! It feels so light and nice in my hands, feels so slim lines and I dont care what people say, its better than the OLED version, feels like I can bring it outside the house without it being distroyed or scratched or whatever, like a 3ds

Heres some bad pics that dont really show how cool it is!



Its very shiney, hard to get a pic for ya's

Pity about the scratches! I do love your Micro, how much did you pay?
I got a Hot Pink Micro last year, its nice, but I kinda want your one instead. Best system to play SMW, screen is amazing.

I may know someone who had one of those for sale....
Not saying who, could be anyone really....

Whisper it to me?

EDIT: doh, got cha! As handsome as it is, it is a little out of my price range.

Well, everything is open to negotiation

eddhorse

Neither of those are mine by the way, was just highlighting the poor scratches.

I also have a pink Micro.

@Ciderman is the one for sale a normal micro with famicom case or is it the Famicom anniversary one? If it's the latter I might be interested.

It's the Nintendo Micro Anniversary edition, but it's the one they made for the Chinese market so it's an iQue device instead of Nintendo and it comes with the very rare Famicom Controller 2 cover, that was only available on Club Nintendo for a limited time.

I may be sticking it on eBay though.
Make some car repair /PS4 money!

Got some animation cels today

One Street Sharks backround with a seperate cel of 2 characters and one back to the future one. They are fantastic...off to buy more now

They look great, well done! going to frame them?

Still no sign of mine....!

Touch Fuzzy Get Dizzy

Not something retro, barely video game related but picked up a new lipstick called "Princess Peach" only noticed now, must have been my subconscious, just thought it was funny. Hard to get a photo.

Think I will, have a panoramic ghostbusters one in my sights now aswell

Yeah mine got here really quick. Just over a week I think

Picked up Resident Evil 4 on the Wii at last, only a tenner, and whilst I was at it I picked up Chronicles of Riddick Dark Athena too, for 6 euro.

STG.Otaku

Got this this morning. Complete with 16gb memory card.

CiDeRmAn

Some great Vita deals out there, I see the wifi device plus the mem card and preinstalled games for 160 or so, a bargain for such a decent machine.
Most of the content seems to be digital at this stage, with PSN+ delivering most of its physical content for free, if your patient.
Nice buy!

How did the house move go, but?

SnakePlissken

So after two decades of playing Need For Speed on the 3DO at least once a fortnight, I took the plunge and bought the PS1 version and can report that it is indeed awful. Gone is the FMV of the cheesy race commentator, gone is the responsive, if understandably dated, handling, gone is all the charm that modern games such as Forza, as great as they are, just don't seem to possess. A misjudged purchase.

CiDeRmAn

I did enjoy the extra tracks though, but losing the racing opponent was awful, and the cap of it all was the non 3do NfS2 which was utter tripe.
They regained some dignity with the incredibly good NfS3 and NfS:Road Challenge.
I'm lucky enough to have all of the franchise so far.

I think my favourite need for Speed has to be hot pursuit on the PS2. Ridiculously fun. Countless hours put in playing as the cops and the racers trying to unlock all the cars
