    Seem to be having a fair few issues with compatibility with PPSSPP. I've had a few roms crash out. Very early into a game. I think I've had 3-4 out of 6-7 crash :(

    You on the latest version?

    Apparently not! Got 1.5.4 off Emulator Zone, apparently 1.7.4 is the most recent release. I'll give that a try, hopefully it's better.

    Edit: no luck :(

    What GPU are you using? Are the drivers the latest ones?

    Integrated Intel chip, not sure what generation. I'llcheck the drivers later. Do you think that could be the issue? I had a look at the compatibility list for one of the games and it's marked as ok but the forum posts from 2013 suggest otherwise.

    It certainly could be. It needs to support OpenGL 2.0. Have you tried running it with D3D 9.0 instead of D3D 11 or Vulkan?

    The Bitmap Books Master System compendium has been emailed out in PDF form. Must resist until the book arrives in February! Looking forward to it. So close yet so far, the time has gone which enough alright.

    I know Windows updates basic drivers but I'll check the Intel site. From what I remember on my previous computers there was almost always an updated driver on their site. Then I'll play around with the different rendering modes. Hopefully one of them works. I'll try US ROMs too.

    Best place for RGB cable for Dreamcast? EU based if possible so I'm not waiting too long. My cable box is full of just plugs somehow, I'll have to get new ones for the PS/PS2 eventually as well.

    So the missus got me one of these 1up arcade machines for Christmas, it was meant to be a surprise bit the postman just delivered it to me.
    Its the one with rampage on it and a few other games.
    I'm assuming these things are easy enough to add games to like the snes mini etc.?
    Anyone have one and know if they are any use?

    I have a few parcels in the post and only realised it's coming up to Christmas...I wonder when they'll show up! GameStop shipped a game on the 13th and arrived today but the rest are from the UK so who knows!

    Why I never gamble.

    Spent ages quicksave scumming the casino in DQ8. 1 in 3 chance to win bet. Would take about 15 goes before I'd win.

    Still not buying lotto tickets.

    I see The Rage posted about a €50 price drop in their complete copy of Earthbound. Now only €550! How much do they go for? I thought they were going for €200-300, must not have been complete listings?

    If it’s fully complete then yeah they’ll fetch that kind of money.

    I think I've only played through it once so far, a good few years back. I still hum tunes from the game to this day. Personally I loved it :)
