Trying to avoid emulation as much as possible here, but it may be impossible. Im unsure how those 60-1 / 19-1 boards work, perhaps emulation but its much more sound?

Those x-in-1s are emulation of a sort. Most iCade’s “interpretation” of the Gyruss sound is laughably bad, for example.

Speaking of puzzle games, drat do I want a new Adventures of Lolo. BOXBOY is cool, but now that it's over I want to see HAL return to Eggerland. I've dreamed about what they could do by adding multi-tiered levels, if the single screen grids have exhausted all interesting possibilities. I love the feeling that type of action-puzzle game gives you where you can almost feel your brain being re-wired.

Nintendo made an Eggerland-style action-puzzle game with dual-layer levels, it's called Mole Mania and you can pick it up for Game Boy or 3DS VC. It's not as cutthroat as the later Eggerland games but it's still good fun, and the audiovisual aspects are way more polished.

You don't need the FDS hardware as the Everdrive emulates it. I will say that it does this awfully. The extra sound channels are no where near accurate. If you are serious about playing some FDS games do yourself a favor and grab a FDS Ram Cart and a FDSLoader. You can get both together for around $50 total and have a 100% perfect and accurate FDS solution.

Doesn't FDSLoader require an ancient DOS PC with a parallel port to work? Just get a RAM adapter and an FDSStick. It's a 32MB USB Flash drive with a RAM adapter port on the back, and it can be yours for the criminally low price of $14.99.

poo poo I've been meaning to pick up that cartridge forever (Super Game Boy hell yeah) but got irrationally annoyed that the price had gone up a few dollars between a couple of browses on eBay. Word had obviously gotten around on Miyamoto's Hidden Gem.

EDIT: There we go. Thank you for tonight's impulse eBay purchase.

Speaking of, another impulse purchase arrived today: the star-shaped Club Nintendo version of the Ten Billion puzzle.

The nice thing about Game Boy stuff at the moment is that it's so amazingly cheap to get. A sawbuck gets you a nice stack of GB games, and not even boring shelf filler.

That's true if you're going for carts only. God help you if you're hunting for GB games boxed.

FDSStick is what I meant. I had just gotten off of work last night and wasn't all there. The new ones have 256MB of Flash on them so you can store the entire library on it.

It's kinda 50/50 as far as horizontal and vertical games I own, but I'm going to be keeping this in vertical most of the time just because I find myself playing vertical stuff more. They rotate relatively easily but it's still not something you want to do often, it's not like an Egret II with a rotate mechanism where you just spin the monitor. I would like to get a second one for horizontal stuff but that's far in the future if ever, I'll keep using a supergun+PVM for hori for now.

Dealing with the seller was kind of weird. It's from "karcadegame" who posts sale threads on various forums, and he's in California while I'm in Florida. He seems really reluctant to actually go through his inventory and show you things, rather he shows you a single example pic of some beat up cab and says YOU WILL GET ONE IT WILL BE GOOD over and over. It took me 5 days of badgering him to finally pull down and show me a few different cabs from his stock (all up on shelves in the warehouse) and get pictures of the monitor chassis etc. because I don't want to just buy this thing blindly from the other side of the country. He had some regular Astro Citys that were a bit less grimy but I wanted a NAC so I'll put up with stripping it down and giving it a good clean. Also really happy about the single player six button panel, most of his cabs had the standard 2 player panels that originally had 3 buttons on each side and then extra button holes added in weird places by drunk operators.

I am extremely happy to finally be getting one of these cabs, for years it felt like I was cursed because they'd always pop up when I was broke, or I'd catch group buys at the wrong time or whatever.

Got to say ULI is really nice on the OSSC with the Pal Gamecube and RGB. Everything looks so crisp and nice on it. Since OSSC has no zoom function like the Framemeister, I just use the LG internal zoom which when I use the right settings doesn't seem to hurt the picture too much. Far cheaper then the secondary scaler option that was suggested around the OSSC release.

If you use the low latency version of the loader it has a zoom function that works from inside the app. I’ve been using it with my crt and it’s pretty awesome. You create a cfg file with the flags you want and then use copy or cat to append to the end of the .dol file.

No clever to be found here

Just installed and tested out Borti's digital audio board on my 1CHIP-03 SNES: https://oshpark.com/shared_projects/syEtmgQ0

Install consisted of cutting a hole for the optical port and soldering 7 wires including power and ground (the other 5 to tiny vias on the sound chip). Haven't taken pictures of the modwork yet, but here's the install process: http://retrorgb.com/snesdigitalaudio.html

There's no line-out port on my stereo receiver, so digital audio was captured by running it through a $16 DAC before recording it on the Elgato. The receiver sounds better of course, but this is still a decent audio upgrade for any SNES if you don't have a stereo system with optical inputs:

Does anyone have any advice on how to troubleshoot a Sega Menacer? The first one I got was full of leaking batteries and not even worth trying to clean. The second one I got is clean but just doesn't seem to work. I have two sensors that sit on the TV for it and neither one seems to help. I am using an old TV. I just want to play T2 with the dang thing!

No sorry, the XX in 1 NG are terrible as well, with hosed up sound, poo poo games, graphic problems, missing levels, and oh, they might even shorten the life of your system.

The NEO SD is a better option, or if you can wait for it, the Darksoft NEO Flashcart seems like it may be cool as well.

I haven't used the 161 in 1 extensively yet, but i'm happy that its not emulation at least. Pulstar seemed to have its audio shift to get a lot louder halfway through some level, maybe other games have obscure glitches like that but somehow that seems better than emulation issues like lovely filters, screen tearing, etc.

Also Neo SD sounds like a good idea, but aren't loading times literally many minutes? Maybe that helps with OCD game switching I guess.

Re my earlier questions about XX in 1 to play Burgertime, since they all require emulation, maybe something ilke this Rpi-Jamma board is the best choice as I'm primarily interested in pre-16 bit stuff.

Wow, that is dogshit. Did it actually work worth a drat despite every indicator being that it would fall out of the plug at the slightest breeze?

Apropos of nothing, but relevant to Elgato capture device owners, I recently got one of these:

https://console5.com/store/s-video-s-vhs-to-rca-y-c-luma-chroma-adapter-cable-6-15-cm.html

Using one of those and a basic S-Video gender changer plug (female input at both ends), I've been able to capture S-Video footage through my Elgato's component video input plugs. It works (so far in my testing) with my Super Famicom and SNES Mini, and also with my NESRGB-modded AV Famicom (which gains S-Video output from the mod install, in addition to RGB). I don't see why it wouldn't work with other consoles.

It's probably well-known, I guess, but I thought it was pretty cool to be able to do with some passive adapters. And for those who didn't know, but might be interested in streaming, this could be potentially useful for stepping up the video quality from consoles like the N64 and Gamecube that don't have good component video options.

Well actually that allows electrons which are not aligned with the overall flow to fly off into the atmosphere, rather than staying in the cable and tainting the signal. This results in a warmer, crisper, image that has notably better eyefeel.

this is all a bit exaggerated, don't you think? The neo SD costs four hundred dollars, you can get a burner single slot MVS and a flashcart for like $150. I've heard that most of the games on it run fine. And they have most of the good MVS games, so idk where "poo poo games" comes from.

Well, much of the 161-1 is bull-poo poo hacks of games that are already on there, like pallet swapped KoFXX times 5. So much of the game roster is filled with hacked crap. Then it IS missing many of the top NG games. Then, there is the issue that many legit games have been shaved of content to make them fit. Missing sprites, sounds, etc. Also, many games are set on the wrong difficulty with the option to change removed or missing. Oh by the way, some of them can actually cause damaged to your NG b/c of wrong voltages in the way they are made. Will yours be like this? No way to tell as they are inconsistent across different builds even from the same seller to include what is missing from the games.

All that being said, if it's "just $150 (it's not)" to get one AND a NG to play it on, why they hell would you? If you're worried about money, a emulator system would likely get you all the NG games, with the better accuracy under $50. If you're interested in accuracy (or authenticity) then why would you buy one of these for the reasons listed above?

They are poo poo.

for what it's worth I personally only use legit MVS games. but there are tons of people who love the multicarts and it's a great thing for people who want to try a bunch of games or have something in addition to their legit games. also the 3V flash wear issue is real, and I would reccomend people get a cheap single slot just for multicarts, but in the real world it's not like they are blowing up MVS systems left and right, it just stresses the parts more than they should be. If people are willing to put up with the idiosyncrasies of the thing, what's the big deal? Sure the Neo SD or upcoming darksoft thing is better but lots of people don't really want to lay down that kind of cash, the multicarts are a cheap way to entertain yourself.

If you're worried about money then the neo-geo is not for you.

there are ways to do it relatively cheap, of course like anything you get what you pay for but you can pretty happily do neo-geo by burning NGCD discs and running a multicart, plenty of people do and enjoy it. I hope the chinese or somebody finds a way to make a cheap flash cart so more people can enjoy that stuff accurately

This is even weirder than Sony's upside-down floating baby doll head laughing commercial

I'm aroused and confused. :confused:

I've seen these before years ago and I think at the time it didn't bother me because it wasn't out of line with all the other weird poo poo Sega put out. That and I would've been a teenager who had poor taste in everything. Actually, the sphincter ad seemed really crappy. :haw:

I'm looking for a SFC to SNES adaptor. You know, those clunky things you plug in to the cart slot so you don't have to break the tabs like everyone else on the planet did.

There are some noname ones on eBay that are about $45, but given that FC/NES adapters are $10 I feel like I'm missing some obvious keyword or website where I can get them for somewhat cheaper, especially considering there are apparently NES to SNES adapters (what) for way cheaper.

If there's anything more important than my ego around, I want it caught and shot now.

Those NES to SNES or Genesis to SNES adapters aren't really adapters so much as emulators running on a processor chip inside the "cartridge adapter" and they only use the console for video output and controller input. Many of them actually require you to connect the audio or video directly from the "cartridge adapter" to the TV, not the SNES' output. They're weird but kinda cool.

Oh, I know. They're just far cheaper than the actual adapters I can find despite having more hardware, which is really confusing.
