Excellent, did you pick up the Megadrive pad? Interested in hearing what you think of it!

The Bluetooth receivers for the original Mega Drive arrived yesterday and work beautifully.

Tested streets of rage 2 briefly with them.

No more wires!


I haven't updated the firmware yet, it may be current but they seem very responsive and no noticeable lag,

Did you ever order the Retro-Bit Saturn controllers?

Thinking of picking up a pair.

I didn't no. Never had a Saturn or even emulated one.
Might have to, to try. Virtua Racing Deluxe Edition which is held in high regard by Ciderman.

Controllers aside, the Saturn is amazing! Buy one immediately!

Having read the Amazon reviews, I'll be avoiding the Saturn ones for the time being. Seems to be serious dpad issues.

Virtua racing on the Saturn is very poor. I wouldn't bother. Much better games on it though.

The Virtua Racing Deluxe that Doge is thinking of is the one on the 32X.
That's tremendous.
The Saturn one was pants.

Thats disappointing to hear, they look the part.. as do their Megadrive ones. I'll hold off for the time being until its fixed or until theyre discounted.

Megadrive ones seemed to have reviewed well, as did the N64 ones. I'll pick some up after the Christmas, but like you, may wait for a new batch or something until I chance the Saturn ones.

Great deal, don't think I can bring myself to buy one because of the person behind it, but if people aren't bothered by him (and I doubt many would be) it's an excellent price.

Burn that f**king this thing with fire!!!!

This should be an interesting auction to watch, a pretty rare and uncommon multiformat BVM D32. Some call it the pinnacle of CRTs.

I believe they're 96kg, that's heavier than both my cabs!

Ah balls, went to see what this has sold for and the listing is gone. Last I checked it was on 1,500gbp. The guy did have an off ebay way of buying it now for a bit over 2k.

absolute mental money!

Pimoroni, a UK based electronics company have a sale on 8Bitdo controllers and some other arcade bits. Some of their prices are on par with Amazon, some are better. I have used them for RPi and Arduino stuff in the past and they are great to deal with. I have also built their Picade machine, also discounted here and it's a nice bit of kit.

94kg of 32 inch, multi-format, 1000tvl high resolution Sony BVM goodness with an original retail price of $25,000.

I'd almost consider it if I had the cash and there was one available.

Although I'd say it would look like an absolute monstrosity in whatever room you put it in!

Sure it only went for 10% of its value! They got a cracker of a deal.

I wouldn't doubt that it's an amazing piece of kit.....and if I was loaded I would buy it

That's Steve SI material there. Actually don't see many of Steve's posts here these days, hope he's ok and all is well with him!

o1s1n

He decided that there was one final thing he didn't have two of, himself.

So he created a clone. Unfortunately the clone killed the original and is now on the run.

They made a film about it, it's called 'Billie and the Cloneasaurus'.

Jack burton

Yeah no sign of Steve fkr a good while now....hope he's doing ok.

Running a black Friday sale on my Instagram. 10%-90% off your order.

All the codes have to be solved though. Lots of pop culture codes, few of ye might enjoy figuring them out.
Pretty cryptic for the 60%+ ones

That's a really excellent idea re the codes!

Jack burton

Yeah it's a bit of fun too. Some people are going nuts to try and figure out the high ones. Code 9 is for 90% off, nobody is close yet.

And I pretty much gave it away a few days ago too

Hello all, I'm still alive
Life got busy for a while and then I was working out of China for most of this year. But back working a normal job in Ireland now for the past couple months.

Good to hear Steve
