Has anyone experience of an ArcadeR? https://retroradionics.co.uk/#!/DELIVERY-FROM-USA-•-ArcadeR-9-pin-ATARI-standard-Joystick-•/p/296743034/category=0 Most of the CX40's I have are a bit ropey and unresponsive now - just wondering if anyone has one and their thoughts before I think of a purchase. And just whoopee .. the UK£ is at maybe it's lowest against the US$ in like forever. Exchange rates, import taxes and crazy postage costs are no one's friend..

The Lynx was here, in the UK, if you were bothered to get one. I bought my model 1 (mail order) as soon as they were available in the country in 1990. It was not cheap.. They started to appear in major stores soon after GameBoy swiftly overshadowed it being around half the cost. The Game Gear came onto the market and with Lynx 2 Atari seemed to generally undercut the Sega machine a bit as time went by to be price middleground of the handhelds. Atari Lynx was just kinda 'there'. Not mentioned a great deal in games magazines at the time as hey, there weren't many games to review. It never really caught much traction here to be honest. I mean, I never met anyone else who owned one. Sigh, so much for my dream of a Slimeworld comlynx deathmatch. Cut to not very many years later and all Lynx stuff was on clearance. 'rabid European fanbase.' That's a cruel way to describe Karri..

The manual is a bit lacklustre monochrome with a tiny bit of red detail (yeah, really pushing the boat out there 1989 Atari) so you weren't missing a lot with just a photocopy of it.. Electrocop 2.pdf Electrocop1.pdf

Just a heads up really as I saw pre-orders are on the site. I missed getting one of his screens previously. It mentions Power supply protection to help prevent irreparable damage to your Lynx if your power supply fails (Very common if not recapped/refurbished). I've seen posts about Lynxes being fried due to some failing on-board components. Would it prevent that ?

Awesome. My Plus+ arrived today. It's the barebone pre programmed board - the only available as the rest were sold out with popularity. So I need a shell. I only have four 2600 carts (yes, it can happen) Salu Hero/Acid Drop plus Xenophobe and Warlords. I'm not sure the Salu ones can be used and I'd rather not butcher the other two. I have two 7800 games (and no longer own a 7800) so would be happy to harvest either for the purpose. Can they work? Maybe have to modify? Or perhaps people know if cheap shells available in the UK somewhere.

How a key you find can offer the option to open countless locked doors around. (That's a security issue right there..) But once you choose one then it inexplicably disappears. I have keys. They don't evaporate when I unlock the car.

Sorry for starting such a sad thread. Reflexes, hand eye co-ordination - they seem to wind down with years. Unless of course you are Todd Rogers! Oh yeah. Sorry. He's turned out to be a complete charlatan. You never rolled round the score meter on Yars? I really need to try that one again. Probably will score a 10 like surfing.. I will also probably tank on Megamania which was the only game I received a patch for with a blurry polaroid of 999,999.

So, booted up California Games on SainT's SD card and went straight to surfing, the game I was consistently best at. I forget my scores from back in the day (hey, it was the 90's) but do recall after a build up of speed it was just treble 360's all the way till time ran out. [side note: is a survivable unreal possible?]. I did think that my 'mad skillz' from then would come flooding back. Because, seriously I loved the game from the week it was released in the UK and played it for many years after. I scored 10.. But I think I kept going the wrong direction.. My question is, have you booted a game you were immensely good at, but then just crashed and failed with? I am now rocking in a corner trying to console myself recalling the ending screens of Roadblasters, Stun Runner and Toki I managed to see.

Saw this announcement on the Retro-Bit website: http://retro-bit.com/retrobit-announces-sega-partnership Wouldn't the 'forthcoming' Genesis bluetooth controller also work with the VCS (and other D9 pin compatible machines) seeing as wired versions do?

Ebay has some available to international addresses.: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-EZ-Flash-IV-MicroSD-compatible-edition-EZ4-EZIV/252836155794?hash=item3ade359192:g:NjUAAOSwnK9ZQh06 For the micro SD version, from Australia. $27.99 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Official-New-Latest-version-EZ-Flash-IV-4-Reform-GameBoy-Free-case-Reader/232562807468?hash=item3625d2d2ac:g:~r0AAOSwySVaDA0D for the very latest 'Reform' edition from the UK. $27.80 + $5.30 shipping No idea if they are the cheapest about..

Hadn't realised until a Google search just now that last month they released an updated version of the EZ-IV (the "Reform") which has two interchangeable cases that allow it to sit flush in either a DS or a GBA. That's kinda cool. Perhaps the sturdiness of the product has improved as well? I have the original Mini SD version and have to agree the casing on that is rather shoddy really. Anyone have any experience of the build quality of the later Micro SD version - the black one with a label?

Perhaps because it can sometimes be purchased for around a quarter of the price of an Everdrive? With the release of the updated kernel a while ago there's no longer a need to use the Chinese language client software. It's pretty much drag and drop now.

Hi. Could I order one cased card please? You can disregard my previous request back in August for two. I didn't seem to be added onto the list back then. Cheers !

Hi. Can I order two ? A cased and uncased. Cheers!

An early version of the Quick programming language was released as PD as were subsequent type-in magazines which then allowed it to be updated to 2.1 . In this thread you'll find an explanation from user Charlie Chaplin, who owns the rights to those Quick Magazines, about it's legal status. Luckybuck, on your website you should definitely be able to offer downloads of the language, but certainly not of English version 2.2
