  2. Additional information that you may find useful: • Some users have reported that their GSP prefers the "games" folder to be capitalized as "Games". If one doesn't work for you, try the other. • If your SD card is not cooperating, try reformatting it as exFAT. • Firmware V1.20 (seen in this video) will also support Sega Game Gear ROMs.

  4. I seen this literally minutes ago and had to laugh it was so obvious. While it may not exactly be an Intellivision I think it is pretty clear someone in the prop department must be an Intellivision fan 😆It goes by quick but it was obvious enough I went thought "Hold up a sec, is that?......" so I paused and took a screen grab. ODDLY it's supposed to be a movie playing device which makes the controllers very questionable 🤔🤨🤷‍♂️ Now to be clear, it's a new movie trailer for a movie on Peacock and after watching the trailer it was enough for me personally to say "Er, I think I'll pass" BUT I thought it might not be noticed by many and if anything this might be the best thing about it so I thought I would share it. Now, you can watch the trailer and see for yourself (about 1 min in) I have also attached a screen grab for convenience. Maybe this could have been Intellivision in the future or perhaps an alternate reality version, I think what I would really like to see is a modder with much greater skills than I turn a normal basic Intellivision into a copy of this one (perhaps using one that is already blemished or defective as to not alter a good one) but anyway I just found it amusing. Trailer (pause about 1 min in) The money shot: Feel free of course to add your own Intellivision consoles or variations or obvious tributes to the console as seen in Movies or TV shows. I personally cannot recall any others off the top of my head, has an INTV II ever appeared in any? Would love to see that. Of course the the classic Atari 2600 has been spotted in TONS of films and TV shows, heck even the Colecovision is seen in the movie Firestarter with Drew Barrymore but I don't think the good old Intellivision got much representation? Maybe I am wrong, let's see what you got!
  5. Hey, what's up, people? 🤷‍♂️🤔How's your day going?

      Glad you're on the mend. Maybe the big batch of porkellini soup i made would help you.

      First time my girlfriend came to stay with me in DC she ended up getting a cold. I made her some homemade chicken noodles soup.

      Yeah I hope you get feeling better!  I had some kind of light cold or allergies I think, but it's definitely going away.  I'm mostly worried about my 2 broken toes which I am still healing up from. 2 days ago was the first time I was able to fit my swollen foot into a work boot,  and I was able to drive if I'm very careful...And I can even drive my truck wearing a "post-op walking boot"...But I won't be heading back to work til late next week at the earliest...

  8. The seller is not a friend or family member so has no business asking to be paid as such. Outside of actually buying from friends and family, it is bad practice to buy from strangers with no feedback here using that method, zero buyer protection, a red flag. Literally listed as a warning in our buyer's section here: https://forums.atariage.com/announcement/6-be-aware-of-scammers-click-to-read/
  9. Judging by the screen shots it's graphical? Different coloring, SMURF is now a Pirate etc....it's literally all described in the original post. 🤨🤷‍♂️
  10. Well you pointed out better versions sure, but still nothing proven “unplayable” for example 2600 PAC Man while very different then arcade and yes it has much flicker it is obviously playable as millions will attest to but whatever. 🤷 Anyway, as for the poll pretty much as I expected on a retro gaming site the results overwhelmingly resulting in playability.
  11. How are you liking that overall? Like from controllers to game performance how would you rate it overall as a SNES console?
  12. Yeah, I see people posting all the time in groups warning of this person and that, posting messages and typically others chime in "OH YEAH THEY TRIED TO SCAM ME AS WELL" and so many times they admit they were impulsive and did not listen to that inner voice. But just sticking to certain common sense rules, NO MONEY UPFRONT, do NOT pay by Paypal friends & Family etc, if the person has an issue with such things it's likely because they are trying to scam. BUYER BEWARE is what I live by. Common sense, patience and a little investigating (like you did) goes a long way to prevent fraud, they will move on to the next easy to fool victim unfortunately but sometimes people learn the hard way.
  13. HUGE RED FLAGS there bud and there are all kinds of scams for retro gaming on Facebook. You pay and they disappear then pop up later with a new profile, rinse repeat.
  14. Well if touching it slightly improves the picture and then it gets bad again when removing your finger this would suggest possibly the jack on your console might have a loose soler joint connecting the jack to the board. So opening it up and inspecting may confirm this.
  15. Right? But as we both know he will learn nothing, even IF he fully reads your post, he will never "get" it or at least, will never admit to it as we've seen countless times over the years from many members both current and banned. Kirk, like many before him and likely many to still come, has that magical balance of arrogance and self-indulgence whilst being totally incapable of self-reflection and of course is always the "victim", this was apparent if not completely verified the moment he began his ignore list in his public signature, like seriously that is a whole new level of ignorance and arrogance, the fact that anyone would even think to do that is very telling. IF Kirk's claims of the people in his ignore list being the actual "Trolls" were valid he could have simply reported such posts which would have been reviewed and the appropriate action of them being kicked from the thread would have followed BUT HE KNEW nothing said to him to date actually is trolling or against any rules of conduct so instead like a temperamental child he cries and runs to his safety zone.
