Don't ship to the UK. Damn the European hating Nintendo. Is it because we prefered the Master System to the NES?

-
AES... although if a supergun was on the list then that would be a different story, then you could have the generally cheaper MVS games aswell as JAMMA boards.
-
This week I 'ave mostly been playing [Fast Show refrence]... Prince of Persia on PS2.
I did pop Freak Out in to my PS2 last night. Why Treasure? Please in future keep your tech demos to yourself thank you... I love your games but this isn't. A game that is.
Also had a few bouts on CVS2 - I'm way out of practice - got busted up by M.Bison in the arcade mode, although I did go straight there.
-
I got one dirt cheap too, bouhgt a bright purple replacement screen from lik-sang.com. Looks crap now, but at least I can see the game...
I was never able to get a proper replacement from Ninty... where is it on the site?
-
I'd say that if you have a PC or don't like FPS games then aviod the X-Box.
-
I do have a PC set-up that's just useless at the moment (since I upgraded to a nice new iMac), which I've just bought a TV-out card for, so it would be a little silly for me to splash out on a new X-Box. Plus I have two offical DC arcade sticks, so I'll just get a converter from Lik-Sang.
The reason that I want a complete set of ROMs rather than just some of these and a few of them is that I do a lot of reviews and it'd make great refrence for me, plus I wouldn't have to go digging out my games and hook them up say if I wanted a quick pop on Gunstar Heroes or Sprigan or KoF '98.

Hey Atari Invader..did the site I pointed you towards help at all?Well, it would do if I was able to download quick enough, but that's the problem, I'm on dial-up, which is why I was hoping someone could burn me some to CD-R.
-
I am aware what sort of size these collections are going to be, and I was sort of looking clean ROM collections without loads of crap demos, hacks and NTSC and PAL versions.
Anyone that has a decent collection of ROMs and a CD burner, please?
-
Cheers for the help Nukey. Got a TV out card for under £10 on eBay hopefully, just need those ROMs now guys.
-
That sounds promising. I run Samuri Showdown on my P200 laptop fine, but that isn't emulated so obviously it's going to run a lot faster.
BTW anyone know of any good multi-emulator front ends? One that's quite configurable and can select using a joystick?
How about running Linux over Windows on the machine? If I used an older Red Hat distro I should get better performance than over 98SE, right?
-
Okay, I know this is a bit cheeky (sorry Al), but I'm building a emulator PC with a few selectable emulator and was looking for complete ROM collections (I'm unfortunately still on dial-up) for the following systems:
MAME
Neo Geo (would these run on PII 400 128MB?)
NES
Master System
SNES
Mega Drive
Spectrum
C64
PC Engine
Vectrex
If anyone was willing to burn me a CD-R off then I'd be willing to cover that and postage, or sort you out with something nice for trade :-)
Cheers guys

I'm quite suprised the PC games industry is as strong as it is, 50% of releases are Sci-Fi / War based FPSs. It's really f*cking stagnent and I hate it.
-
Now... just what we heard lately is that the second screen would be a touch panel screen. That sounds more like it, granted. Game developers can come up with setting up additional GUI elements in there, inventory items could be displayed at large and just be selected with your fingertips. Possibilities are even more, but, things aren't really confirmed - it's a nice lookout though. The LCD's are being mounted "vertically aligned" on the unit, that's a fact.......Screen
Screen A: LCD, 256x192 pixels, (up to 262k colors)
Screen B: Touch-Sensitive LCD, 256x192 pixels, (up to 262k colors)

Gunstar Heroes. Not fully 3D, but mixed polygon with 2D visuals.
-
Looks like the sprites are all pre-rendered ala Donkey Kong Country, but I'm worried that the resolution on the GBA isn't going to be high enough; Mario looks very undefined...
-
I got a job lot of Saturn import carts that allow you to play any region game on any model Saturn. $9.00 + P&P or will do trade. Looking for US DC games:
Samba de Amigo
Garou: Mark of The Wolves (aka Fatal Fury)
KoF 98: Dreammatch
Seaman
or Gamecube, Saturn, 2600, NGPC etc
-
Isn't there a PS2? By that definition, the PS would be considered "classic", as would the N64.A dictionary defination is a 'generation old', right? Cars and wine etc have to be 25 years old to be considered classic.
Anyway, once the PSX comes out we'll have to start calling what we now call the PSX the PS1 or somthing?
-
I think Neo Geo is actually arcade hardware that came home, so I didn't count it.It's mostly the same, there are a few instances where the coin op MVS boards differ from the AES home units (ie: high score saves, dip settings, etc.). Plus, the carts are not readily interchangeable between the home and MVS systems.
Yeah, but other than connections; the ROMs, bios and processors are exactly the same. They are essentially the same so much so that the ROMs made for the MVS are used in the AES. The MVS came first though, making the AES an arcade based machine.
There are also those things that hook up PSX (BTW PSX is going to have to be changed to PS1 soon, surely?) and DC to JAMMA looms. I'm sure they're avaliable for other machines though, right? How do these count credits BTW?

I have a dreamcast baseball cap i knocked off one of the promoters on launch day
I would KILL for that

We used to get stuff like that when I worked at Game. Got some X-box, Colin McRae 4 and FIFA t-shirts lying about if anybody wants em? I think the X-Box one says STAFF on the back though...
eBay.co.uk has a DC backpack up for grabs right now, there are also writing books and more towel / swim shorts sets there too.
-
* A Space Channel 5 miniature lunchbox (couldn't even put a bento box meal in one).Just ordered one of these the other day from Dreamcasthistory.com, not been invoiced for it yet though.
-
I have a Dreamcast towel and swimming shorts set that comes in a nice little matching bag and Medal of Honour ammo tin.

The only thing that I'd be worried about it would be that you'd get a small amount of residue on the circuit board. With all the consoles now adays have such small runs between them you may experience a bit of shortage across stuff. Mostly this won't effect any of the chips themselves (because it'll only be a small current across it), you may experence a shorter battery life. This happened once when I spilt beer in my walkman.

Combining movie and games in a way people aren't even thinking about yet? Hmm... reminds me of Sega CD...

ROM Files Wanted

I've gotten 4 DVDs off of eBay from some guy for £12 inc P&P, which I thought was good. Has most of the stuff I'm after.
Thanks for your help guys.
