Hi, I have an A2000 with WB3.1, a 2MB chip RAM expansion, a 40MHz 68030, a SCSI card with an SD card reader, 20MB of RAM, an Ethernet card, a replacement for Denise that does VGA out at up to 800x600, and I just ordered a 286 PC emulator card from Germany to go with the VGA Wonder I bought off eBay.

Hey just FYI, GameStop is firesaleing PS3s for $40. If you're looking for an easy way to play PSX games on a modern TV, this isn't a bad way to go. Also I realize I'm probably opening a can of worms about whether or not the PS3 is considered "Retro" yet.

Assuming new ISP and their hardware actually work. Should be minutes rather than hours. d0s posted:To add to this, if anyone uses MAME as a desktop app rather than with a fancy fullscreen launcher (for a cab or living room etc), check out ARCADE. This is what I'll be going with. I've been using UIFX64 the past few years and ARCADE is apparently a continuation of that.

I was so excited when I finally had a computer fast enough to play NFL Blitz at 60fps. dexter60fps would be proud.

I'm not into the crazy expansion like this because I think the only point to the Amiga is to play lovely eurogames, but I am jealous of your A2000 as it has the exact same compatibility as the standard A500 config but in a real case so HDDs and stuff can be easily added. I've been looking for a sidecar HDD for my A500 for years and the prices are straight up outrageous

Instant Sunrise posted:Hey just FYI, GameStop is firesaleing PS3s for $40. Well I'd say a system needs to at least have had all new production stopped first. That'd make the 360 and PS3 qualify as of the middle of last year... and the Wii U as of November. Though the PS3 and 360 also both still have fully working network services, are receiving new software in both actual games (For instance, a Guardians of The Galaxy series by Telltale is still expected to release on 360 and PS3 this year) and updates to apps, You could argue that the Xbox 360 Live Indie Games service is now retro, as no more games were allowed on it since October 2016, and the storefront for them (but not regular downloadable 360 games) is scheduled to close in September this year.

I am trying to hook up my old Wii to the CRT with component, but the picture comes out of as this. The other component devices work perfectly fine, but this Wii always had technical issues and was bought on launch ten years ago. The cables could always be bad as they are a multi-system component cable that works on the Wii/PS2/XBox. The old Wii does display proper in composite, which oddly if I start it in composite and switch to component, it display normal until i start a game.

Reminder that you can still luck into a first gen PS3, which has native compatibility for PS1 and PS2 (instead of emulation). If your local GameStops have these $40 PS3s, might want to go look for those. As an aside, there was also a "test" version of this unit for QA and game reviews and stuff that played games for any region for PS1, 2, or 3, original or burns. It's a magic device that just plays any PlayStation thing you throw in there and has HDMI out and, gently caress it, plays blu-ray movies too.

Elliotw2 posted:Once they get a wide release, probably the AVS is a better option for playing NES games than a real NES. It's probably also cheaper than getting a NES front loader modded to work and have RGB/HDMI out and absolutely cheaper than a toploader with an RGB/HDMI mod. Obviously, until they release the AVS in Europe there's not much point in buying one anyway, because I'd still have to pay an arm and a leg to import the drat thing. And no matter what, it's not original hardware

I still don't understand why they made the max resolution on the AVS 720p; was it really that much more expensive to source an FPGA that could do run 1080p with 4x, 4.5x, and 5x pixel scaling?

I thought they were still releasing PS3 games in Japan, since the install base there is much much greater than PS4. Maybe that was last year, though, and things have changed since then.

It spent the next 3 years til the production halt as a last gen system limping along. Random Stranger posted:Well, it's over ten years old and games have stopped being made for it. Nah. Persona 5 is coming to it in April, and there's several Japan only releases coming out in February and March. The hardware production ceased last year, but there's still a few more games being made, and it'll probably pick up another roster update for some sports titles.

I've been looking for a sidecar HDD for my A500 for years and the prices are straight up outrageous And for the disk games that hate 68030s (there are a few incompatibilities due to speed or slightly different instruction set) you can turn the expansion board off with a utility and fall back to the 68000/no Fast RAM setup. It's great. I paid $250 for it though. This thing's not just for lovely Eurogames! I installed a web browser on it and can read forums

A few corrections here: - All ps3's will play ps1 games, this was never taken out. - The test ps3's can't play commercial dvd's or blu-rays, they don't have a playback license.

PaletteSwappedNinja posted:Hamster Arcade Archives' emulation isn't always perfect but they're quite reliable about patching their releases and I don't think they've ever left any of them in a poor state. Looks like the later Hamster releases got spruced up as well, with grafted-on caravan modes and in the case of a few games (Konami mainly) the different regional variations. Looks like I'm gonna snag Salamander/Lifeforce at some point!

Depends on your proximity to QA centers. I bet there are more than a few unknowingly kicking around in Montreal right now. Obviously this doesn't happen anymore because the death/churn of VG print media, but back in the day you used to be able to go to bay area Goodwill and find tons of weird poo poo. I still have old Katana marked discs for Dreamcast with EGM SANFRAN and EGM WEST sharpied on them.

My bet on the Wii U is that it tracks historically like the virtual boy, especially when every game worth playing gets ported to the switch. Some people will want to collect it for the scarcity it will definitely have later on, but not much else.
