Like it's been said earlier if you think you need a giant 480P display thats an amazing deal, just don't buy it for older 240P stuff. If that was by me I'd get it just for Dreamcast VGA stuff e:  lmao

Yeah, sadly the PGMs were all taken. I reached out to the seller right after I posted but they said they got an overwhelming response. I did notice they posted this in the time it took me to get home, though: https://washingtondc.craigslist.org/nva/vgm/5995370526.html

univbee posted:Hmmm, perhaps I should get my NES Mini thread renamed, it didn't exactly go the way I was anticipating when they had just announced the thing. It honestly might be worth it to close it and create a new one focusing on 1. How to find one (brickseek, nowinstock.net, etc) 2. How to add in more roms (including hacked roms) using HAKCHI2 3. Hacked NES games like Metroid: Rogue Dawn, Megaman Minus Infinity, Mario Adventures, etc. BexGu fucked around with this message at 00:52 on Feb 9, 2017 |

Oh poo poo, the guy e-mailed me back and someone backed out of a multi-buy, so I can snag one of those PGMs if I want to. edit: But, yeah, it looks like it only does 31Khz, so no 240p I guess. That might make it less worth it for me (I also don't have an xrgb or anything). Agrias120 fucked around with this message at 01:32 on Feb 9, 2017 |

You know, after listening to a few of the MSU1 games...it a neat gimmick, but honestly the music really sounds out of place to the point of distracting. Probably doesn't help the music tends to be really over done remixes of the songs like the Mario World and Final Fantasy VI default ones were. No matter, I am still very happy with the SD2SNES and glad I sold my Super Everdrive to get one.

agreed, I can't see the appeal in MSU-1 patching either. Maybe it's because I have a ton of nostalgia for the way SNES games sound but patched versions just never work for me and seem downright sacrilegious in some cases (chrono trigger)

The SD2SNES will also be worth it once the Tengai Makyou Zero translation is out because they are really close now. I just hope the ROM can just be expanded out like Star Ocean as opposed to waiting for ikari to implement the SPC7110 (lol).

Just once I'd like to see a MSU patch that was just like, putting in higher quality samples for games that used unusually poor quality samples in its normal music, or something like that. Or for games that were ports from other systems, providing the music from one of the other systems it was on.

Can one make music for MSU and apply the patch to any game universally? If so just apply Yakety Sax to pretty much everything and call it good.

The MSU-1 patch for Flashback does this, I think taking the music from the 3DO version or something? falz posted:Can one make music for MSU and apply the patch to any game universally? If so just apply Yakety Sax to pretty much everything and call it good. The game itself needs light reprogramming to shoehorn in instructions for music playback if the MSU-1 chip is detected, but the actual music itself is just straight PCM with specific settings so you could take an existing MSU-1 patch and mass-replace everything.

They don't offer the consolidated shipping option so you can't really order one outside of China.

I couldn't wait though, I've been salivating over Kevin's FPGA box since he started it like 10+ years ago, and he finally managed to find a manufacturer to make something he could sneak it in to. I'm having fun playing weird Taiwanese and Korean games that don't work on flash carts right now! This needs more attention as the accuracy of his solution and his attention to detail is unparalleled. I've been awaiting his FPGA console since he showed it off on IRC over a decade ago. It was already more accurate and played more NES games than software emulators, and it had VGA output. With HDMI and the added possibility of the other cores, it's actually saving me from having to repair or mod consoles I was planning to spend money on. I can't wait another decade, this is clearly the best solution. (Also, I hope you dumped Sim City for NES)

Just look for a real commodore monitor, they're really not that rare and there's a ton of models that will work with the C64's split video output: https://gona.mactar.hu/Commodore/monitor/Commodore_monitors_by_time.html (look at the models that state Y/C compatibility)

I guess I'll have to try it out I don't know if you've used a C64 lately, but it's only a 40 column by 25 line screen in character mode. You should be just fine on that screen. You wouldn't want to use it for an Amiga though, as most debugging stuff for it you'd do in 80 column mode and that just won't be usable on that screen. It also wouldn't be too good for actual Amiga games as they tend to be higher resolution than C64 stuff.

They basically designed most of the 8-bit computers around being readable on terrible low res screens, since most people plugged them into their TV.

You could always put a fresnel lens in front of it if you think it's going to be too small. This will make your screen appear both larger and farther away.

You really can't handle a 13 or 14 inch monitor from the time? The Commodore 1702 and 1084/1084s monitors are both widely available, designed for the systems you have, and take up roughly a 16 inch to a side cube.

The PVM has a handle and only weighs around 8kg, the fact I could move it and a console between rooms is appealing. Anything bigger and I'm making a dedicated space, the baby PVMs could even live on a shelf when I'm not using them. The 1084/s is just a little awkward to deal with it. The 1702 doesn't do RGB iirc. I don't think either is actually shaped like a cube and they have vents so I can't put anything on top ether. I'm sure I could live with them (or any of the other million PAL CRTs that do RGB over scart as I've done before), a dinky PVM just seems neater.
