    Picked up the GC controller adaptor in Argos, 25.99.
    Then II found I had to disconnect the wired ethernet connection and have a crack at wireless, which lo and behold worked, freeing up the rear USB ports for my HDD and the front for the controller adaptor.
    Happy days.

    Wireless certainly works, but the one & only time I tried it was an absolute nightmare (system update constantly failing). Between that & needing to turn my firewall off to use the 3DS eStore, Ninty are a pain in terms of connectivity.

    The wireless seems to be better than the wired connection via USB adapter.

    I can't find a USB ethernet adapter. Wireless is so ****ty and slow for updating the wiiU.

    I also find you can kiss every fifth or so game of Splatoon goodbye because it randomly degenerates into a lagfest.

    Just got some enhancements in for my Amiga 600 - ACA620 accelerator, memory expansion and RTC.

    Decided to mod this instead of the A1200 as it only probably only be used for games with WHDload and its a bit smaller on the desktop. Already fitted a dual version kickstart ROM and CF Card so should be a very capable little machine when finished.

    Really? I find it the complete opposite! Then again, I find all wireless connections crap compared to wired ones

    Well, I can't have everything and I don't have enough USB ports!
    I might have to add a powered USB hub somewhere.

    Just got myself a GP2X F100 (would post pics but still can't).

    Came boxed, with boxed official AV cable, PSU, and official hard carrying case.

    Booted it up and it has firmware 3.0, have to update to 4.0 for more fun before putting more stuff on it :)

    How much was that in Euro?
    I have to get it, it's the whole reason I'd get a WiiU this soon.
    Meant to look around and check prices but something always distracts me. Was that the best price?

    At the Moment £50 works out at €70 which is crazy and then add on €4 for parcel motel as game aren't shipping it outside the UK. But game only charge your card when it's ready for delivery so hopefully the exchange rate will improve a bit by then. AFAIK game and the Nintendo UK store are the only ones who have pre orders right now and Nintendo UK is already sold out. I think it's only being released as a limited edition bundle too.

    I know, GBP is awful but I dunno if it upsets me as much as the USD not being as good anymore.
    Can I pay up front before it's ready or is it only pay when it's ready?
    Edit: VG+ only let you pay later if you're paying by card, if it's by PP it's immediately, is this the same?

    I'm in Ireland and had no problem ordering it to Ireland no trouble at all unlike what I had when trying to order Amiibo's.

    I'll probably be bringing Metal Wolf Chaos if you have a modded Xbox. My Xbox is struggling to play the movies and I'm trying to figure out why.

    I went with parcel motel as it said on the product page no international delivery. Just to be on the safe side in case they cancel the order later on!
