I have eaten doughnuts in Dublin, While wearing a slim cut of denim slacks, I'm sorry lads.

Come to Waterford though, we have a good strong shell suit scene in the town. Plenty of Roma's and knackers too.

Oversize sportswear is the mark of a true hipster for a few years now since skinny jeans became ubiquitous. Velour is this years major trend. [/recoveringhipster]

I should have hung onto my Ellesse gear from growing up.

I'm only waiting for those full length Umbro coats that football managers used to wear come back. Mad to wear of them while I vape outside Starbucks and read a hardback book and drink single source coffee

Shapey Fiend · 08-12-2017 02:34PM

Football manager swag is definitely a thing.

Moving my two cabs up to the apartment tomorrow. :eek:

If I don't check in later in the day with photos, you can take it as a sign that neither I, nor the cabs, made it through the day.

I wonder what bizarre way the Pony is going to fall this time...

We'll have to update the O1s1n disaster thread with the results.

Read about that, the idiot could've easily killed himself.

Best of luck o1s1n, watch out for those elevator shafts.

o1s1n · 09-12-2017 03:27PM

And they're in!

I can't feel my arms and my calves feel like I ran a marathon but they're in!

May I just reiterate, that was five storeys from ground level. Five! Fair play to the lads from vantasks, they really know how to work a dolly :eek:

Both monitors powered up without even a hint of a struggle.

Pornography, sheer pornography :pac:

Wow well done, they look great

o1s1n · 10-12-2017 04:41PM

Thanks dude! Was weird taking the packaging off them, almost like opening a present from myself two years ago!

Can't believe everything just worked. There was still a Raiden II PCB in the pony, had forgotten to take it out with the other PCBs. So that fired up the moment I switched it on.

I have it all wired up now the way it used to be, took a while to remember how everything connected up

- now has a six slot switcher again with Raiden II, a Gnet, Ibara and one of those vertical classic multiboards. Trying to figure out how I fit in two more boards previously :eek:

Interestingly, it seems my AVP board is still running strong off the same suicide battery. Thought that would have expired while it was in storage.

The Crash Christmas Annual has started to be delivered. Haven't got mine yet, and if I do get it before Christmas, it'll be getting wrapped and put under the tree.

He's doing a Zzap 64 one next year if any Commie fans are interested.

Well this is kind of fun, first time in all these years my consoles and arcade machines have actually met

Couldn't manage a photo of them all on a title screen with my phone (that's PS2 outrun on the Sony monitor!)

Nice to see it all humming along!
The cabs look amazing.

You sold off your Egret II? :eek: nooooooooooooo!

No more 'BOMBA!' in your house then?

Doge · 18-12-2017 07:54PM

So The 8-Bit Guy created his very own Commodore 64 game called Planet X2 with help from some friends,
and made this really nice “Making of” video here, which is really worth watching:

Just saw the price mega drive castlevania goes for.... always wanted to replace the ****ty censored PAL version but I think I can live with it. Hard Corps is bananas prices as well. Insane for fairly common games.

Sega does what Nintendoes?

Doge · 19-12-2017 10:54PM

And that’s leads me on to this next video, I never knew a UK company cloned the Mega Drive and sold it in the UK!

Kolido · 20-12-2017 09:01AM

And had it promo on national television, what did they think it was?

Doge · 22-12-2017 03:06PM

Anyone familiar with or have played the MS-DOS based Castlevania clone called Rusty?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yBxsej8Lkc

I was discussing the quality of Sega Mega Drive soundtracks VS Adlib soundtracks on a chiptune group and someone suggested this soundtrack to me.
And what an awesome soundtrack it is! It even has a similar style to a lot of Mega Drive Soundtracks we know.

Looks like a decent clone too, although I’m not one to judge since I’ve never played Castlevania games! :pac:

Retr0gamer · 22-12-2017 03:25PM

Never realised it got a MS-DOS port. It's originally a PC-98 game. I played a bit of that version and really enjoyed it. I prefer the PC-98 soundtrack but the MS-DOS one is surprisingly great.

Doge · 23-12-2017 02:34AM

Full size Sega Mega Drive clone with HDMI and composite out:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SnwQ8VsGqyo

That RGB to hdmi upscaler he's using with the original mega drive for 40 pound from Amazon looks awesome too.

Good alternative to the OSSC if you don't need scan lines.
