  1. Depending on where you are and what thrifts you have available, gaming related items may be pulled aside... by employees, auction sites (shopgoodwill), etc. Our area Goodwills frequently put gaming stuff on their auction site, and only crappy things like old sports titles make it to the stores. Yet, people still seem to find things at a Goodwill in another state or area of the country (as evidenced on YouTube). Are people donating as much anymore as well? Our local mom and pop places seem to be getting big hauls of people's collections in the last couple of years.
  2. I snagged a transparent blue one myself. I did follow Madlittlepixel's advice on how to better your odds. I won't have too much time to mess with it until the youth soccer season is finished. Sorry to hear about the accident in your later post.
  3. This project aims to accomplish what was the original intent of the Polymega system.... use FPGA technology to emulate a wide variety of consoles and arcade machines (and older computers as well I assume): https://www.timeextension.com/news/2023/10/could-mister-rival-mars-fpga-be-the-new-king-of-retro-gaming It is worth keeping an eye on since some real names are attached to it.
  4. I just looked myself, and they say something like the deluxe version is supposed to ship in Q4 of 2023. How many times has that date slipped?
  5. He also pointed out in that video that these may all be proof of concept things that may not see the light of day.
  6. I have not been able to get that NES adapter to work reliably on my famicom. These (adapters) seem to be pretty cheaply made.
  7. That has been one that I have been meaning to try even though it has nothing to do with the current Legend of Heroes story in anyway. But it is a glimpse into Falcom's past. I am not sure that it will be high on the priority list after reading that though. There are some clunky gameplay mechanics that I may have put up with back in the day that would just frustrate or annoy me now.
  8. There are fan translations of a handful of games: https://www.romhacking.net/?page=translations&genre=&platform=5&status=&languageid=12&perpage=20&order=&dir=&title=&author=&transsearch=Go There might be a few more scattered here and there not on that site, but as jpkspsx said, many of the RPGs are completely unplayable (one of the Ys IV hack from that page covers everything though... even the limited voice acting was dubbed).
  9. I am hoping for that automatic interaction with the PSIO as well, but I am not holding my breath.
  10. Which cable are you using? HD retrovision with the Saturn Adapter?
  11. I now own a retrotink 5x as well. I haven't had a chance to play with it too much. I was having problems with my OSSC for the PS1 and PS2 on my new Sony Bravia, but the 5x works well out of the box. I am still keeping the OSSC for VGA and for my old computer monitor. After upgrading the 5x firmware...there is a lot to mess around with. Way back, the Framemeister was my go to, and it was largely supplanted by the OSSC except for composite and S-Video use. The 5x seems to do really well with those sources, so is there any reason to keep it anymore?
  12. Any advantage using Pseudo Saturn Kai? It is possible to flash an Action Replay cart with it or buy one where someone has done it for you. I did it myself, and I remember it being a pain in the rear since my Saturn was not modded. I haven't used that flashed cart for a fair number of years since installing a mode, and my Saturn's cartridge slot is very fussy. I need to get a 2nd Saturn with a working cart slot and to use discs if I ever feel like it.
  13. I have Terra Onion's Mode as well, and it works fine. The issue you many run into with any ODE that used an FPGA chip is availability. Something like the MODE hasn't been available for while, and it may be well into 2023 before such things are available again. I am not sure what the Fenrir uses, but the order page has an October to December time frame https://shop.fenrir-ode.fr/en/23-super-fenrir-duo.html
  14. I don't have this console (retrofreak) anymore, but it would not run my repro of Chrono Trigger either even though it ran fine on a real SNES and my SuperNT.
  15. I don't foresee an issue, assuming the battery on the controller board is fine. Pretty any Dreamcast that hasn't had its internal battery replaced will need a new one. I am not sure how long they last, but it is important to get the right kind (ML 2032).
