    I found this fairly good, it has the different settings for various consoles. Don't be too surprised if you need to upgrade some rgb cables either, I had to change a few when I got mine. NTSC consoles are the way to go.

    The Ghost Hunter Series box art looks so much like Gravelord Nito from Dark Souls.

    Some really pretty game cases there, really shows the appeal of having a physical collection of games!

    Agree about the art definitely. May be just me though but I never liked the shape of SF boxes, especially compared to PAL and NTSC. They never felt like 'proper' game boxes to me, I'm more of a horizontal-er :p

    1/5 of my treats has arrived!
    Claymore on the NDS, it's one of my favourite anime series. Used to see it for a tenner more than what I got it for so I'm happy with that. I think it's DMC style kill all the monsters go to the next room type game.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,019 ✭✭✭Touch Fuzzy Get Dizzy


    2/5 of my treats came while I was at work. It's super spoopy - The Ring Terrors Realm, I'll bring it to the Beers :pac:

    I brought it once or twice years ago, it was, uh, my friends back up. Voice acting and music is atrocious. It's actually gotten a bit dear since I looked for it last, the opposite of the Claymore game lol.
    I got it for the horrorathon, gonna try it on original hardware instead and hope plays a bit better.
    I think the title of this video says it all though.

    The last few bits I picked up are a bit of a mixed bag. I got a famicom and pce everdrive followed by a Dreamcast with a USB-GDROM Controller back in April from Steve. I thought I had missed the boat on these so it was a nice surprise finally picking one up.

    I met the Last Bandit at the last beers in Cidermans and he brought me a nice PlayStation adapter for the JammaCon. It was good to put a face to the name and see the msx up and running. If you have a cab you need one of these, or two if you're Steve.

    Some PlayStation games from Steve Bailey, I was waiting for complete R-Types for a while as I kept missing it anytime he had it.

    A trip to GameStop in Arklow yielded a trio of Yoshi's and a triforce lamp. The Yoshi's were in the sale at 7.50 each.

    With one of these 'Total Control Plus' converters you should be able to use the Dreamcast in the cab as well using that jammacon ps2 adapter :)

    Treat 3/5 arrived!
    The one I was so excited for! It's Wonder Kitchen boxed on SNES, loved playing it as a kid, it's pretty simple even with no English text.
    The manual was so bright. I love the card with the witch, I didn't see it in any other listings so I wanted it. (*˘︶˘*)
    I had an awful nights sleep last night so this really cheered me up.

    I love cart based games.
    And I'll tell you why.
    I bought GT6 for the PS3 today.
    I'm still wait for it to finish installing updates!
    Madness!
    I also made the mistake of popping Fable II into the XB1, to see if it was supported for Cidonalad to play, it is, which means another few hours of installing before it's ready!
    Luckily I can pop a cart into my Megadrive and off it goes!

    Yeah I remember gt6 took an absolute age to update/install. Same with gt5.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 664 ✭✭✭Tomo.Murphy


    Sure it took me weeks before I could play GTA V on the PS3. The update failed at 99% every time I tried it.

    Every time you turn a console on lately something needs to update, even the controller on the Xbox One...


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 51,855 CMod ✭✭✭✭Retr0gamer


    Yeah I find that as well, it really makes console gaming so unuser friendly. 15 to 20 minute update, before I can play anything. I mean I could load a C64 cassette game in that time.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 34,633 CMod ✭✭✭✭CiDeRmAn


    Reminds me of the nightmare PC gaming was in the mid 90's
    Buy a new game?
    Think you are going to bring it home and play it straight away?
    Ha ha you fool!
    Think again!
    Update drivers.
    Now something else won't work.
    Repeat until it finally works.
    Hope the changes haven't buggered up the running of anything else.

    It happened twice trying to check to see if the humble bundle I posted was US only on PS3.
    Someone very kindly gave me Wii points to use and same, and it's not even something I associate with the Wii lol.
    Phoenix Wright's new demo was out this week, I was waiting for an update on 3DS too but thankfully not :) it'll catch me another time. I'm dreading the time I turn on the Vita though lol it's been so long.

  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 34,633 CMod ✭✭✭✭CiDeRmAn


    Speaking of the Vita, I was reading the disgusting behaviour of the Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford and his efforts to deny the developer of the Duke 3D Megaton port their dues, when they mentioned it was pulled from the various digital outlets, including the Vita.
    Colour me interested, I was later trawling my PS3 hdd, to make room for Okami 3D, thanks to the Humble Bundle, and there's the Megaton edition on the PS3!
    A user on the Games forum said then I should also have it for the Vita as it's a cross-buy and, sure enough, before I left the house I checked and there it was, on my download list on my Vita.
    Running out the door for work, no wifi there, so the phone did the wifi duties via a hotspot and now Duke 3D is happily living on my Vita, probably a better fit than the PS3 anyway.
    Pity there's no Quake port for the Vita though :(
    My Vita is too high in Firmware number to run the unofficial port :(:(
    Looks good too

    Love when that happens! It's always a great surprise that you can run something on Vita instead, I know I had that with another game but I can't actually remember which. Like that I got it for PS3 and was so surprised I could play it on Vita tok and it was much better suited. It might have been Breath of Fire IV or something, I'll look at it later and jog my memory lol.

    GT5 and GT6 were pretty poor imo, engines sounded like leaf blowers, lots of clones of the same model card just so they can brag about the amount of cars in the game.

    The Forza series was really leaving GT behind in its dustrails at that time.

    You should be focussing your efforts on the newly released Assetto Corsa for PS4, the most realistic and detailed racing sim to date.

    The only problem is that it will make you want to buy a Racing wheel for it, like the Logitech G29 at minimum. ;)

    The physics and force feedback put Project Cars to shame.

    They have focussed on quality over quantity too, investing lots of time in getting the laser scanned tracks right and the handling of each individual car.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 34,633 CMod ✭✭✭✭CiDeRmAn


    You might need to know
    The pinnacle in racing games, for me at least, was MSR on the Dreamcast, followed by Split Second on my 360 and Mario Kart 8.
    I pretty much doze off when playing track day sims, like GT, PC or Forza, and that is going to happen with this one too!
    Rollcage II and Wipeout 2097 are up there as well btw, so needing to adjust tyre pressures and cambers isn't really my bag, baby!

    I never bother changing setups either, but if you ever get to play assetto corsa with a proper force feedback racing wheel it may change how you feel about racing sims! Can be really fun and immersive, a controller doesnt do them justice.

    Then again maybe you would just prefer cosy arcade racers from the comfort of your couch.

    Agreed coming from a Sony fanboy, and I cant see the upcoming Gran Turismo being any better than Forza offerings with its huge focus on car photography!

    I'm hoping to get into something proper next year when the new pc is up & running, Asetto maybe...space for a proper wheel setup though is a major factor for me. Currently, I enjoy any of the Forza games whenever I'm in the mood. Absolutely loved Forza 4, & more or less played through the whole thing. Same with Horizon, I haven't played Horizon 2 yet to my shame! You?

    I think you will adore Assetto Corsa!

    Im still on a core2quad with 4gb of RAM so i struggle to run most modern sims but i guess, Assetto, Dirt Rally, Euro And American Truck Simulator are some of the SIMs I have run in the last year on that archaic system.
    On the PS3 then its IL-2 Sturmovnik, and of course Super EF2000 lately with a Thrustmaster T.Flight HOTAS, proper retro. :)

    I too am waiting patiently to upgrade my PC setup, I think I may even hold out til "VR 2.0" hits, that should iron out any issues in the first generation of VR headsets and increase the Resolution.
    If the PSVR gets hacked for PC though that will be pretty tempting too, if its not tempting enough already.
    hmmm....

    Also some hype for you :p...

    Yeah I'll be moving from a Core2Quad with 4GB DDR2, to an i5 6600K, 16GB DDR4, and likely a GTX1080...so really looking to sink my teeth into a proper sim experience. Dirt Rally looks very interesting, might get that around Xmas if it pops up in a steam sale. I enjoyed one of the IL2 games YEARS ago, when I had a nice Saitek setup to control it with.

    Also some hype for you :p...

    Not even watching it...I've everything barring the GPU already bought so am committed to the PC route now...:o


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 10,497 Mod ✭✭✭✭Andrew76


    Nothing retro but some cheap pickups from Gamestop of all places. Don't really play either of these machines that much lately but couldn't say no at those prices. They also had a GameCube controller for the Wii-U for €15 for use with Smash Bros, not sure if that's a good price or not. Got GTA V on PS4 for Argos seeing as it was on sale, almost did the same with Animal Crossing New Leaf but will wait to see if it appears on the Selects range over here too.

    I've just realised I've a Logitech GT force feedback wheel in the gamesroom I have hardly used, only with the occasional PS2 game, I forgot I could use it with racing games on the PS3, and I hear they also work with some PS4 racers as well!
    Some experimentation to be done!

    You need a raspberry pi and leonardo arduino clone and some electronics to get them to work with the PS4.

    Its all a bit messy really. The software is called GIMX.

    I made my own auotmated Raspbian image you could use which automaticallly loads the software at start up, you would just need to change the profile to the Driving Force GT.

    I have a thread in the Sim Racing forum for it, i used to use it with my Logitech G27 befofe I managed to get a G29 for about £100 in a flash sale from currys uk.

    Heres the thread:

    http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=99271850


    If you get it working go away and get assetto Corsa and even i would buy it despite having the PC version already and we could race.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,060 ✭✭✭Doge


    Awesome! I got a shout out in this youtube video posted on the GIMX forums, i havent logged on there in months since getting the G29, its my old boards username Waveform too!

    http://gimx.fr/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=1435




    I think i might re subscribe to boards and change back to that username instead od using the silly Doge name.

    So much easier to spell too. Always put two r's instead of two d's when typing Myrddin. Might just use Merlin instead. :P

A prophet and a madman, he was introduced into Arthurian legend by Geoffrey of Monmouth as Merlin the wizard, associated with the town of Carmarthen in South Wales." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myrddin_Wyllt
