Bub game is real now. Got a VA voiced 30 sec trailer and a faux interview with Bubsy.

Wonder if this is gonna cause the cart prices to drop like mad.

Could the cart prices get any lower?

Also, this is no sonic mania that's for sure

Yeah, I still have my bubsy Genesis cart from when I was a kid and I agree, the originals are enough.

Has anyone checked in on ulililia?

Instagram is fun for weird stuff I've never seen and never will again. Also for a million Super Mario Bros / Duck Hunt carts.

e: The thing can apparently accept both types of RGB pinouts somehow.

Speaking of Rennovation, Game Sack has two episodes about them that are worth a watch. Well I guess almost all of their videos are worth a watch.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Je0JQbELovo

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vo7jP2nG54Y

Also I cheated my way through Gaiares the other day and it was great. Boss on the 2nd to last stage took like literally a billion hits to die, I don't see how one could have done that without cheating.

I'm watching these now because Rennovation always seems to have the weirdest box art/games whenever I'm in the Genesis section of my local retro shop. I appreciate that they're showing off all these games, but literally ten seconds into the first review, the guy doing the review is mentioning the Valis protagonist's "super sexy outfit."

Sigh.

Can we just burn down the internet now?

Or at least youtube?

I'm going to assume this is your first Game Sack episode so let me preface by saying it's the most "dad" retro show. They make inoffensively bad jokes spoken in an almost deadpan cadence and even have an episode where they rip on themselves for being boring compared to other energetic youtube reviewers. The comment was sarcastic and they totally roll their eyes with that poo poo.

It's the shtick of the show. I'm not sure I fully appreciate/like it, but it's definitely intentional.

I started watching their videos cause they have some pretty good information and the style grew on me a little over time.

Okay, before I :retrogames: on accident here, I must ask. What're some of the more reliable EZFlashIV models out there? Last thing I want to do is order one online and get shafted.

The current model that was refreshed in the last year or two that supports Micro SD cards, the original started out on Mini SD. The refresh is easy to spot as they are black carts while the original is a translucent milky white.

So any model that has a black cart. Got it. Or... is it more complex than that.

I'm unaware of any bootlegs for the EZFlashIV so you should be relatively safe.

Alrighty then. For reference, I got this from Amazon, coming June 10th.

Fingers crossed I don't get hosed? But as you said, I should be fine.

Dude's Amazon seller rating is less than stellar, but it's slightly better than dealing with Chinese import shops.

Same. Beat Bubsy 2 as well. Can't get past the first level today so I don't know, I must've been an idiot savant back in the day.

Yeah, Game Sack is like a basement public access show except they're highly proficient in their $20,000 worth of equipment. Even their arcade reviews are running off original boards. They're high budget Classic Game Room packed into thirty minutes.

Showing Vettel the way since 1979

I've started having an issue with PS2 and original Xbox component sources and my Framemeister. It looks like sync issues, with the screen randomly jerking around. I have uploaded a brief video of the issue here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGLWeY2RKDI

I recently shuffled around a my equipment to accommodate a new receiver, so it's possible I have nudged something. I have tested the consoles both via my component switch into the D-terminal adapter and directly to it, the same issue persists. I have tried unplugging everything and back in again to make sure that things are connected OK

Could it be an issue with the D-terminal to component cable?
