Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Longshot, but I don't suppose anyone here is near the Smyths in Letterkenny (Neil T Blaney Road)? They've something in stock I'd like, no other branch has it, and no delivery option available

Do you want to reveal what it is so we can try scour the internet for a good deal?

Quick one for you Retr0....Chronotrigger, Snes or PS1?
Try the MSU1 version if you're going for SNES.

I think I've seen you mentioning before that you played the Super Metroid MSU1 hack. The same guy that did the soundtrack for that, did one for Chrono Trigger as well (Blake Robinson). People usually have to buy the soundtrack if they want to use it, but I have it if you need it.0 -

Don't go with the ps1 versions for any of the SE snes ports. The ff6 one at least has massive loading times.
This. Chrono Trigger on the PS1 is a total disaster with loading times for everything, including before the start of battles which interrupts the seamless flow of the game. It's ****.
The PS1 FF ports are a disaster as well, with FF5 in particular having a dire localization where they tell you the wrong directions (physical dungeon to east, magic dungeon to west but they are the wrong way around so you end up with the wrong party in each area). FF6 has long load times and when there are timers it counts down during load times making getting shadow almost impossible and super frustrating.
SNES all the way. The DS port is a good alternative

It's nice to have the option of the updated soundtrack but for me I'd go with the original soundtrack for a first time player as you get what the composer intended.
Not like the Chrono trigger soundtrack isn't anything but an absolute masterpiece in vanilla form.

That's a great price even at €60! I payed either €75 or €85 for like from Harvey Norman back when they were hard to acquire.
I looked on ebay, upwards of €80 just for the controller, and then this for the set
Why so expensive??You should pick up Firewall Zero Hour for €20 on the PS Store, unless you must have a physical copy.
I'll be limited to games that require firmware 5.05 or less, and keep the Pro offline permanently because it's on the 'golden' firmware at the mo. The obvious downside to a modded console

Forgot to ask, aren't you kinda limiting yourself a lot and not getting as much value out of the PSVR for current or future releases by sticking on that firmware?
I presume you're on that firmware for emulation purposes and not naughtier ones. 0 -

Surprised to see this much love for the PSVR, I don't see many people outside r/PS4 talking about it.
Hoping to get it again next month
Since the Virtual Reality Forum launched all the VR discussion migrated there, check out the PSVR Discussion Thread.0 -

I am limiting myself, but there's em, small benefits, in doing so In all honesty the PS4 homebrew scene is still very immature, especially compared to PS3 and even Switch. I figure it's handy having a Pro on exploitable firmware...I can always buy a second PS4 for the latest games etc. 0 -

Everytime I see this thumbnail in the related vidoes section of youtube, I think the guy is the head off o1s1n!
When you actually see the bigger thumbnail or play the video it doesn't look like him at all though oddly enough!

The arcade at Cineworld is completely boarded up. Is it gone?
How do arcades work, are the machines rented/leased or bought outright? I wonder what happens to the cabs. If they're bought I wonder would they get much for the likes of HotD4 that was always broke.
Haven't been there in years, thought it closed way back. Last time I was there it was on its last legs, seriously weighing up a house of the dead 2 midi cabinet for 200.
Shoulf have grabbed it
I know where some of these things went, but trying to get inside these magical buildings is like herding cats. Makes you want to explode nnggg
Haven't seen a house of the dead 1 or 2 in absolute ages, just like killer instinct there were tons of them everywhere. Then gone overnight.0 -

Humble are doing Puyo Puyo Tetris for €13 as well. Quite tempted by that but for the life of me I can't get my head around the Puyo part of the game:o
Prefer Puyo Puyo to tetris.
Just match four it everyway except diagonals. It's simple enough. Huge potential for combos which multiply the garbage you send to the opponent.

Anyone watching the fascinating nonsense that is Digitiser the Show? I wouldn’t go expecting much new insight into retro gaming, but you do get a series of increasingly outlandish, surreal stunts and oddities that capture the irreverent essence of the old Teletext pages. Think they’ve definitely hit their stride after three episodes, so the new one’s as good a place to start as any. The last ten minutes are truly something.

Need to watch it, I backed it, really wanted to go to the live show and explained I'd have to travel, dates were up in the air, honestly they were so helpful but in the end it clashed with my friends wedding.johnny_ultimate wrote: »Anyone watching the fascinating nonsense that is Digitiser the Show?

One of my friends got a tier on kickstarter for creative input or something I have to ask again about it.0 -
