You, my good goon, have just triggered NOSTALGIA with that Striker pad.

I am now picturing my father, in his late 40s, playing King's Bounty until 3am with that controller. Music blaring.

Also, that little joystick nub is terrible. If you haven't discovered that yet, you will.

Well your Dad is indeed an rear end in a top hat! That striker pad has a passthrough to take the 3.5mm audio from the Model 1 Genesis and presents a 3.5mm female on the bottom of the pad itself! No reason for music blaring! It's why I picked it up. Who the hell comes up with a kick rear end feature like that and then fucks up every other function on the controller?

I have the ideas and the talent/creativity (I think, at least enough to try) and don't even care so much about money, but I'm lacking in the time/energy department. Good editing is deceptively time-consuming to do, even if you have the equipment for it.

So my SCART cables for my Genesis arrived to complement my SCART-TO-YUV converter. After wiggling the cables for awhile I finally achieved a picture without a deep red hue. I'll probably have to adjust the green or blue output jack, but for now, a little elbow grease works.

With cables in hand and anticipation in my heart, I popped in Rocket Knight Adventures and it looks GORGEOUS!

I don't know how I was looking at it before. The colors are so much smoother and vibrant. I can't wait to try the rest of my games. I know converters are frowned upon, but I'm looking at RKA in 240p with :fap: scanlines :fap: and no fidelity loss.

Now to figure out how I'm going to get sound back...

SCART to YUV converters are absolutely fine on a decent CRT. It's not going to give you the billion issues you can get with cheap upscalers, really the only things I bother with out of a ton of scalers I have are the YUV converter and xrgb mini.

If I can't have scan lines, I don't bother.

I think I only wanted the 32x because of Doom.
It doesn't make any sense either because by that time I had the full PC version for ages.

In fact I still have the (non-functional) 3.5" disks which I installed on my PS/2 Model 70.
One day I'll get around to restoring it.

Doom is probably my favorite game of all time and part of that is how much I love how it's handled on each platform. The slimmer ps1 version, the spooky n64 version, the 3do version with the loving awesome remixed music, the surprisingly good GBA version it's all great.

You can't ruin Doom. You can put it on a loving camera but it's still Doom. It is the ultimate platform independent game that's not a puzzle or text adventure.

I almost thought that I could've argued that it came out for the game.com, but it actually didn't -- Duke Nukem 3D did.

If DOOM came out for the game.com, THAT'S how you could ruin DOOM.

No Fake Scanlines



I'm definitely leaning towards No Fake Scanlines because the fake scanlines just don't feel right for some reason. Probably because they're basically a lie.

No, especially if they're that fine. Plus with the way videos are compressed and auto-resized on devices nowadays, they probably won't even be seen half the time.

Interest check: has anyone been thinking about buying a Framemeister? Mine's been gathering dust since I bought a BVM so I'm looking to sell. I'm including all necessary cables and adapters as well as a SCART switch. Everything you need to start down the path of madness! You'll just have to hunt down the individual SCART cables for your consoles.


Please PM if interested.

Update! I've already got several interested parties. Feel free to throw your name in but be aware that a line has formed.

Well since I won't even need it by the time it gets here, anyone can call dibs on the supergun setup I made up. Turned out I already got access to some lovely cab to use my Neo Geo in while I wait for my own cab, don't even need the supergun setup anymore and it isn't even here

Latest version Arcadeforge MAK Strike
Arcade PSU w/ molex connector all prepared for the MAK Strike
Fully wired SCART cable

All you need is JAMMA boards and either a Neo Geo controller or a Tototek PS2 to Neo Geo adapter box.

If you're interested we can talk and I could pretty much just send it when it gets here i guess

Man, I think I hosed up real bad today. I saw a craigslist post for 20+ PS and PS2 games for $20 and jumped at it. Got there and they were loose discs. Some of the titles made me think it might be worth it, but I got home and the discs were all scratched. Now I am sad.

On the upside the World Heroes Anthology disc worked.

In better news, a friend is doing me a favor by trading me a single slot MVS for a model one Genesis.

All in one go. Made friends with a local collector a few months back, he called me up last week "you like Sega right?" Picked it all up today, except the cab. I'm moving into a new place next month, it's getting delivered there.


The rage would almost be worth it. Almost.

Playing on the JVC with a remote pad, they all said I'd never amount to anything. WHO'S LAUGHING NOW?

I too have and love that Genesis wireless controller. It really should be a piece of poo poo but works out OK for me. FYI, I've never heard of anyone having issues with the 32x and the X'eye, after 3 months of sitting in my X'eye my 32x started to buzz ever so quietly when turned on. I took it apart and all was well, still buzzed, but in a regular Model 2 no buzz. Not sure what's up, but thought I'd share. Also give me some of that poo poo.

I just bought a lot of NES games off a Craigslist seller and got them home before realizing they smelled like smoke. Hoping to god that if I seal them up in baggies with some baking powder for a while (like, days) that that'll take care of it.

How much money are you willing to put into this project? What kind of mic and video camera do you have now?

If your answer to either of these questions is "none" then you should reconsider.


I had an idea (highdea) for a youtube show called High Score where I could smoke weed and talk about a game in the context of being high as gently caress on whatever specific strain. Mostly colorful games, fun games, games good to play stoned. Probably not the best footage of myself to plaster all over youtube though and now I'm not even smoking. :sigh:

Mint Virtual Boy in rental case


I remember those great rental cases, although I only saw the N64 and PSX ones. But it takes me back, they were pretty nice since not only were you renting a cool new system, but you got a feel like a secret agent transporting some kind of electronic device in a suitcase with perfectly-molded foam for it.

It'd be pretty nice to find some of those, since they'd be great for storage or traveling even now.

The candy cab was a complete shock. The guy just said "Oh, I'm getting rid of these too", take me into a room with 3 cabs. A 2 slot Neo Geo cab, a 4 slot big red and some wood paneled JAMMA bastard. I showed interest in the big red but I made a comment about size so then he showed me the candy cab.

As for the comment about :retrogames: . I've really slowed down my collecting these days, being in Canada is a killer for single unit purchases. So I just squirrel away cash ready for some local collector to drop out of the hobby. Some of that poo poo I'll never see in the wild again here; the X'eye and boxed Sega CD 1 for sure.
