Retro gaming thread

Also a sata hard drive bay thing for £16.

It's been amazing, had a few people on WRC playing the local stage that was in the game. If you have old memory saves they don't work on other region games I learnt.

I tarted up my dreamcast while on furlough last year and that's the very HDMI adaptor I used. It's fantastic for the price.

I also have a modded ps2 and needed up buying the kaico ps2 adaptor specifically because I liked it so much.

I think this is lesser known because running off the HDD is what most people want to do, but you can use FMCB to run a swap-magic alike app called Cogswap.

Pretty sure it does. I think the process is booting with a PS1 CD, then a PS2 DVD, then finally your import. Bit of a faff though and I can see why people just use a HDD.

How did the Saturn sneak on to the short list?

I said it in the other thread but you'll more than likely still need a scalar with the Retrovision cables. The Saturn is mostly 240p and your TV will either not understand the signal or misinterpret it as 480i and mess up the image.

PS1 are the modern FFs

Might have to check out the video when not at work though as enjoyed IX.

Nice find!

So I checked all those games thinking I must have not played some of them but it turns out that I played all of them. How the hell did I have all of those games?

It's an interesting lineup for the Amiga 500 mini, probably shaped by expediency.

They got Chaos Engine which is a pretty big one, Stunt Car Racer is a classic of course. No Turrican games though and I guess most arcade ports were too complicated to license, so no New Zealand Story, Rainbow Islands, Dragon Breed or R-Type. If you can't get Lucasarts games I guess Simon the Sorcerer is a value-brand equivalent and probably the best substitute. All the games that Electronic Arts now owns are a sad omission too.

Some of the choices are so obscure though, the Amiga version of The Sentinel was incredibly rare so barely anybody knew it even existed, I guess it came as a package deal with Stunt Car Racer.

Hopefully the system is actually wide open, so end users can prune out the game selection and make substitutions of their own.

I played a fair few of those, and I never even had an amiga.
I did have a mate who had one though, and a different mate who had an atari st, so between them they covered most games.

It seems like a pretty good list, though there's a couple I don't recognize.
I don't remember if I played them on Atari or Amiga, but I also played a lot of Xenon 2, Gods, IK+ and a really weird Monty Python game that was largely a fish going through pipes?

Robocop 3 was also the dream game that everyone couldn't believe was real.

Hmmm yeah I can envisage this being a pain. Might be worth enduring mind you if I can get hold of the shadow of the beast trilogy amongst others.

GBA should be the most up to date official translation with later ports using it too. There are a bunch of unofficial ones too if you check romhacking.net but I haven't tried any of those. I only played though on SNES and GBA as the PS1 version in the middle wasn't great.
