It could change everything and stop every gamer's worries, because most games are sold worldwide. The only thing that is demanded is being able to keep playing the games you have bought. The video explains all the details.

I guess the choice is between The MegaSD and Mega Everdrive Pro. They both will let me play MS, Genesis, SegaCD, and 32x(since I have a 32x). Anyone have strong opinions on either? Is there better support for one over the other?

I have recently bought an Atari 2600+, which is great. I am loving Adventure and Yar's revenge on the provided 10 in 1 cart. Amazon have stock of the reprints and older carts, eBay also has older carts for sale.
However I have realised that CEX doesn't appear to stock Atari 2600 or 7800 games!

Anyone know anywhere in the real world that stocks them?!
Or any good places online if not?

Not sure if this a newer trend but I’m typically not clued into much media at all. It looks like an interesting approach to old-school gaming. Anyone gotten into these or have any info about how it’s set up?

Next month, ie tomorrow, I plan to do one of those self imposed challenge things.

And that is to play nothing but Wii U games for the entire month of June.
It helps thats i have a fairly decent Wii U library, so it wont be too rough.

...Hopefully.

Anybody else ever done something like this ?

Sounds like it only runs on MAME and may require some tweaking. Has anyone successfully emulated this game? Is it even worth my time/effort?

May take extra effort as I’ll be trying it out on my hacked Genesis mini. MAME is real hit-or-miss on there.

Been playing co-op games with my 6 year old son the past few months and am looking for suggestions. Difficult part is that I’m looking for non-violent and non-competitive games. He loved Unravel 2 on switch, has also enjoyed Dark Chambers on Atari 2600 and Shift Happens on switch. Console restrictions are pretty much anything that can be emulated on a hacked Genesis mini up through N64 and PS1. And switch.

I seem to remember them being mentioned on NL a few years back (I could be misremembering)

Are they still best in class? Particularly for a UK based store?

I'd also be looking for a shielded RGB Scart switch which RGC have in the works according to their website. (They have another scart switch available now that requires another device or something). Anyone know of a decent scart switch available now from a UK seller? With as many ports as possible!

@Damo thought I'd give you a tag as you seem to be the expert on these things and it may have been you who mentioned RGC on NL way back when!

Backstory:

I just bought a 28inch 4:3 CRT. The working ports on it are an RGB Scart, a VGA (which I'll likely use for a PC) and an s video which I can't test. It also has another scart port which is pretty iffy

Apart from the cables thing, so far so good! Just got to work out a decent place to put this absolute beast!

Recently a friend of mine just recently picked up an Atari with 20 games off of Craigslist. He was wondering what are his options for hooking it up to a modern TV. Obviously there is modding but he doesn't want to go that route. Is there a place where maybe cables are available or an option similar to that?

What's the best setup to connect a Nes to a modern TV?
I know Time Extension wrote a piece about the RAD2X but it's not compatible with the Nes.

I can never actually decide on my favourite all time console, but it seems to cycle through the SNES, PS1 & of course the N64. What a banger this was! From Goldeneye to Ocarina of Time, to Perfect Dark & Super Mario 64. This console is jam packed full of classic games that gave me hours of non stop fun (still does).

So what are some of your favourite games? What are your thoughts on the N64?

Discuss!

Personally this is probably my all time favourite console. I still have my original console and games, and still enjoy booting up a SNES game any day.

There was so many great titles. Super Mario World was truly the game that immersed me in the world. Donkey Kong Country was another banger. It felt like it had such a vast library of games for the time. Truly the golden era.

Recently I’ve been after a solution for the original PlayStation and PlayStation 2 to connect to a 4K TV. I’ve got a cheap HDMI adapter for my PlayStation 2 but it struggles to display PS1 games, and AV cables are just… destroying my eyes.

Has anybody here managed to get both the PS1 and PS2 displaying correctly on a modern TV?

Title: The Legend of Dragoon
Platform: PlayStation
Year: 1999

So the other night I decided to begin a playthrough of The Legend of Dragoon on PlayStation. I had only ever briefly played it during it's day, as it was somewhat later in the PS1's lifecycle I believe. I'm not sure how well received it was, but I can say so far I am thoroughly enjoying it, as it's relatively all new to me while still giving me hits of nostalgia for RPGs of that era. I've just made my way to Bale. I've only got so much time to spend on the game these days, so will probably be slow if I decide to continue on through.

Has anybody else played the game? What are your thoughts?
