Anyone else get excited when they buy a retro game and it also includes a kid's hand-written notes on a piece of paper?

Oh man candy N64s...
So fun looking.
I spent a long time getting the transparent smoke grey one. Ended up with the Japanese version (apparently very rare, only came with 64DD) . I like my consoles to be a special one, so I've got an RGB modded original NTSC N64 board in the smoke housing.

Not written by a kid, but my copy of Mortal Kombat 2 for the Genesis has all the fatalities on a sheet printed by Blockbuster. I was excited lol

I do Iike the history element of it. But prefer if it doesn't deface the manual.
Well, the Kickstarter has been funded, in about 30 hours! No stretch goals disclosed yet, but this is already a massive success.

Only pickups this weekend we're Castlevania dawn of sorrow. I skipped it back then and want you jnslly play through it. I was playing on my acekard 4i until I could find a reasonably priced copy but man those ds flashcards drain the battery in sleep mode.
Used to be the dsi would last days in sleep mode, with the flash cart in its more like hours.

Any chance of a RHEA-like or GDEMU-like for Sega CD?

That's why I said on a piece of paper. I wouldn't like it (unless it was pretty minor or maybe if it were in the notes section of the manual) if it were on anything official.

i think one of my genesis games came with notes on a sheet of paper but need to check =)

I do remember the guy who makes those saying he wants to tackle Sega cd next!

That would be totally awesome considering how finicky the CD drive is. Same with the briefcase IFU setup for the original PCE CD-ROM2.

I wouldn't want to mangle my beautiful Model 1, but I guess I could get out the Model 2 and use that instead.
I think he ruled out the Sega CD due to some sort of hardware complications rendering it not feasible as a realistic solution for most people to install themselves.
According to his blog, he's working on this now.

I would love someone else to work on a better version of psio that doesn't require all the motherboard soldering, especially seeing how flaky the psx laser is.

Is that Goku screaming at a T-Rex?
Going with some friends to a retro gaming convention in OKC this weekend called Super Bitcon. Hopefully I'll find some cool pickups. Alisia Dragoon is the only thing I'm specifically looking for, other than that I'm just gonna look around and see what looks cool. The guy with the Nintendo Playstation is gonna be there showing it off, so that's neat.
I don't know how feasible it is with the many revisions the PSX got. The PSIO doesn'T sound that hard to install, it's the cutting that scares me

To all Streetfighter Alpha fans on here... : D I have a question! Basically I have had a bit of an interest in the Apha series for quite some time, but not a die-hard fan, more a "casual" fan..so I recently purchased SF:A part 1 and 2 of the PSN store (yes I know they aren't the best ports of the game compared to the Saturn etc..)
Basically after having purchased the games I found out that you can't control the characters other than using the D-Pad which is a nightmare!! (Why no analogue support I don't know) so in light of that can anyone recommend a fighting control pad that would be compatible with these 2 games? Or will I need to try and get a refund on these 2 purchases?

I paid good money for this Dynex!
Wait, no d-pad support? What? How? Both of those games came out before the PS1 even had analog sticks...

I think he's trying to say it only supports the dpad.
Thats too bad. I've never had to look but hopefully optical drives are available for the Sega CD. I'll be real sad when mine goes if there's no replacements online.

I assume you're looking for a PS3 controller? Many HID USB pad work on PS3 out of the box but I don't think they're all compatible with PSOne archive releases. Safest bet would be the Hori Fighting Commander 3.

Oh. Yeah, reading comprehension isn't something I'm good at. I think I'm just caffeinated to the point where I can't process things properly.

No, you guys. I don't think you understand. I'm actually shaking. I dunno why the caffeine is hitting me so hard, but it's fucking awesome.

Must be nice to not have built up a caffeine tolerance. All I get is the headaches to go away.
I think you can source the replacement drives/lenses/lasers or whatever for Sega CD pretty easily online. I've been tempted to buy a broken model 1 cheap, and try getting it back up can running.

Nice, that's not bad at all. Let me know what you think of that game, I was debating picking it up if you play it any time soon.

Yep. I think back then it would have been assumed to be shooting it with a toy nerf gun or something but yeah this would cause some problems today.

It would be amazing if someone could somehow allow loading Sega CD games through a genesis everdrive. Probably impossible.
What would be cool is if the genesis everdrive could have some kind of ribbon cable attachment that you install into the CD drive to feed it data.

It's cool. I got a lot done, got bored, went for a walk, came back an hour later, and now I feel pretty good.
Would recommend.

Still need to pick up 2, loved that game. Is the 1st or 2nd the one with roller skates? 1st I think?

It's the second one. That's all you tho.
Yep, airsoft guns were all the rage in the 90s. And yes, stray cats were a popular target.

Haha so much hate. Next thing I know you'll tell me Earthworm Jim 2 wasn't the better game!

I've replaced optical drives on several consoles over the years. It's an easy way to score a console on the cheap. Don't model 1s use belts though? You'll always have issues there.
