      I'm sure Alex has provided some gems long buried. You young cats go dig them up for some retro AA reading.

  5. Variations between versions of MAME and ROMs often breaks comparability with games. All I know is had those "missing" error messages when I mixed versions, after that I simply stuck to getting ROMSETS bundled with a matching MAME version and have never had an issue since.
  6. Are you using a ROM version that matches your version of MAME? This seems to be the one thing people mismatch constantly and that can cause such errors.
  7. Pretty sure that is correct, unlike the CD-i which required the MPEG / VIDEO module for certain games the 3DO produced all gaming visuals purely with the hardware and did not require assistance, in fact I am surprised it even needed one for VCD it was that good but perhaps it was specifc tech that required licensing for the particular VCD format.
  8. Well, some I have never had or likely WILL have so going by what I have in order of preference - 4 Switch Woody / VADER MODEL (Love Woodgrain but there is something about that black model) / Sears Video Arcade II. For models I do not have well of course Original Heavy Sixer followed by the Sears Heavy than 4 Switch. It is funny because I distinctly recall back in the day if you had a SEARS version as opposed to a Atari Labelled model you were an outcast of sorts Today I LOVE the SEARS variants of Atari and Intellivision consoles!
  9. Would prefer AtGames to get their heads out of the ass and design a decent portable in the first place
  10. Despite all this you still get clickbait articles and people that insist the death of PC gaming is coming

  12. Still it is a pathetic effort all around from RetroBit.
  13. In reviews I have seen it does not, just used for saves, this is the type of thing that if it DID load roms you'd have likely heard it from someone by now. According to this recent review it likely wont even be used for any type of upgrades either which sucks because apparently it is pretty crappy overall with bad sound and timing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGPWJIMbFnc
  14. Hey congrats fellow Canadian! Damn you really dived into the 5200! I never had a 5200 back in the day but a a few years ago I acquired a beautiful condition system from a seller here. Mine is also a 4port but one that was altered to work with the VCS adapter. I ordered a refurbished controller from BEST ELECTRONICS and have even gotten several games and a atarimax USB flashcart and I am very happy over all. There is definitely something cool / fun about obtaining a classic system from back in the day but the fact I never had one makes it even more great and playing several 5200 games I can imagine what I would have felt like if I had one back then. The system and especially the controllers get a lot of flack but there is just something about this massive console lol. Thanks for sharing and keep us updated

  17. Yes those are legit along with Stoneage gamer, it is sites like alixpress and chinese import sites you have to worry about, you get what you pay for in that case.

  19. Being new to this community with intent to sell, no references, no feedback AND no pictures? At the very least post images, make an effort. Either link from any image hosting site, just add the image URL after clicking the IMAGE option (click image below to see example) OR upload directly to your post here. Bottom right when making post select MORE REPLY OPTIONS, underneath you will see an ATTACH FILE option, click it, select image then click ATTACH THIS FILE, once uploaded you will see a thumbnail appear, to the right of it click ADD TO POST and you are done. (click image below to see example) You are going to want to figure this out if you plan on selling and/or building any kind of feedback or reputation.
