To be honest, if you've a 600 or 1200 then an internal cfcard is a way better option. You can build up the cfcard using WinUAE and fill it with everything you could possible need and you'll never need to use adf images again.

eddhorse · 26-07-2016 9:05pm

I also need advice on :
A) Best video cable for Vic-20.

Best option for backup games that i already own for C64/Vic-20.

Steve X2 · 26-07-2016 9:27pm

Few bits in today.

RGB modded Jap N64.

Few games

None of that switchless mod nonsense for me

Myrddin · 26-07-2016 9:32pm

4 switches? Is that an overclock mod along with region & display mods?

Yeah, 50-60hz, Jap-Eng, Halt and 7.6-10Mhz switches.

Thanks for the info Bandit. Thats my homework for the next few weeks...

"Why did this lad throw up a photo of a plug?" I hear you all asking....

Because it'll all come full circle in about a month's time. This plug is for my new Japanese MegaDrive currently én route from Osaka.

The plug arrived this morning and my overly-dramatic mind said "and so it begins", as I have a few games on the way as well to accompany it.

This plug has me excited..:cool:

Steve X2 · 27-07-2016 11:40am

Something tasty just arrived in the door. Box is a bit rough, but tasty none the less

eddhorse · 27-07-2016 12:16pm

Nice modem, shame we cant use them anymore.

Well, you can power it up and walk around the village. But yeah, just another curio

o1s1n · 27-07-2016 12:57pm

I really like how they finish off the SNES aesthetically, kind of reminds me of the Megadrive 1/CD1 combo.

Steve X2 · 27-07-2016 6:31pm

Few proper pics.

Myrddin · 27-07-2016 7:17pm

Doubt there's many of those here in Ireland, possibly the only one?

Well, I have another less pretty one in storage

I'm trying to replace some of my retro hardware with new old stock or as close as I can get to it. So you might see a few repeats here and think "didn't he get one a year or two ago?"

CiDeRmAn · 27-07-2016 7:38pm

Can Satellaview games be run from a Super Everdrive?

Not sure, I'd say yes, probably. I've a SD2SNES on the way and they can be played from that.

I always wanted a battered satelleview to go with my broken n64 DD if you're ever moving it on

eddhorse · 27-07-2016 10:34pm

<ongoing joke>
Not like ya Steve to have a spare.
</ongoing joke>

Kinda reminds me of that Habitat game on C64, servers being rebuilt.

I think only the SD2SNES can run BS-X.

Beautiful find! Did the cart/memory pak come with anything downloaded?

Nothing on the cart, it's new old stock that's been opened for checking but not actually used. I do have some stuff on my other one as that was very well used

Steve X2 · 28-07-2016 11:03pm

Point Blank 2 arrived today(thanks for the heads up BrownFinger

). It'll be a little project for the weekend to get her installed in my PB1 cab.

Now, I'm guessing I just need a 2 slot jamma switch to swap between the two? Or is there some non standard stuff going on?
Anyone any ideas?

I'd assume the lightgun driver stuff is very non-jamma and won't play well with those Jamma switchers.

Touch Fuzzy Get Dizzy · 29-07-2016 8:24am

They have Sonic the Hedgehog tank tops (Men's) in Penneys here, I was so excited when I saw them. They're down to €5 atm, picked up one for myself and 2 as gifts lol.
I was thinking if I don't wear it I could attach it to a canvas.

CiDeRmAn · 29-07-2016 8:50am

That's fantastic, though I'll never wear a top like that!
Might call in though to Penny's in Swords, see what else they might have.

Could be handy for when you're painting on a hot day... or playing games in a hot attic!

If they don't have them text me or message me on FB before 2, I can pick up one on the way home. Same for anyone else going to the beers or doesn't mind me posting it.
I dunno would I wear it myself I probably would put it on a canvas (like this - https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/d7/44/36/d74436a79cc13df01a4d24a2e7faf874.jpg)

Hmm, well it's not the end of the world having to swap manually.

The Last Bandit · 29-07-2016 11:42am

You could buy a second cab

Myrddin · 29-07-2016 11:46am

Or fit a second harness and switch between them

The Last Bandit · 29-07-2016 2:35pm

A couple of bits this morning, awaiting me upon my desk

I've always loved the Peter Jackson vision of King Kong and the book came out, by the Weta Workshop, in connection with the movie.
The conceit is that it is a scientific record of the island, it's geography, flora and fauna, as recorded just before WWII and the island'd destruction in that war.
Tons of material, beautifully illustrated.
It's not in perfect but good condition for a ten year old book.

The two Famicom carts are Ninja Gaiden I and II, I had looked at the Ninja Gaiden Trilogy for the Snes, but the games are unmodified ports of the originals, and the Trilogy cart is expensive, so the original route was the way to go.
Ninja Gaiden III is a little more expensive, so I'll bide my time and pick it up in the coming months.

Retr0gamer · 30-07-2016 11:47am

Get the famicom version of ninja gaiden 3, they royally ****ed up the western release by taking out unlimited continues.

That's the set I'm aiming at, I prefer the look of Famicom carts anyway.

BGOllie · 31-07-2016 6:37pm

so yeah got a few calls from a couple of guys I've grown to know who have stalls at a few car boot sales/markets I go to. They said they'd found "video game stuff" in storage lots they bought.
weird to see a stack of Genesis games in Ireland ...

I know it looks good and lucky on paper but I spent years establishing relationship with people at the markets, consistently going to many car boot sales and charity shops ... and a 6/7am start on sunday is not always a pleasant experience

I'm like a wean at Christmas right now so bear with me

She arrived today

I haven't seen a MD2 in 20 years so it's shocking I forgot how small it was compared to Model 1

And I just threw on a random region-free game to see if it worked.

Well, I can only sum myself up in no other way but;

And I have about 7 NTSC-J games on the way throughout the course of August - I'm delighted. I never buy myself things like this
