  1. I bought a 6-button 3rd-party controller. Thought there was going to be shoulder buttons on this, but there is not. Is my memory failing me, but didn't the Genesis in some controller revision have shoulder buttons on them, or not?
  2. Most of what's on the Windows Store is junk.I see pay versions of Atari(2600 or 78) emulators I would rather not pay for. Stella's free and it has a better interface than the 7800 one I tried.
  3. After hitting MGC, I want to hit Portland' show again. Coin F'in Rejects will be there. Wonder if I can get a pic with them, with the guy that forever changed their podcast citing them for cussing a lot.
  4. Now after MGC, I want to hit Portland's show again.

      Why.. what it'd do to you?

  5. Weird to see Nintendo officially there. but with all the retro gaming podasts talking about the Switch, it should be no surprise. Atari carts were less & less common, but at no surprise. I think I collected all 7 Atari 5200 carts. Got Time Pilot for the Coleco. Also some obscure 2600 game(infiltrate?) for 1 dollar. I heard 2 mentions of Commando for the 7800, which is apparently rare. Also introduced chrisbd to Hughes from The Retro League. Doing my best to cross-pollinate podcasters. Got a Apple //gs manual for 5 bucks, where before they wanted the whole //gs manual stack for 45. Uh, no.
  6. I uninstalled iTunes. It just freezes up when you start it up. I installed MusicBee, and it seems to be a perfect replacement for iTunes.
  7. See you all in Brookfield, Il at MGC! :)

      You know it's Brookfield, WI, right? Not Illinois?

  9. Worthless hashtag on twitter for MGC: #mgc2017
  10. Where? For 10 minutes on the latest episode, I heard no video game talk.
  11. Can you bring another Pie Factory POdcast sticker that you got me last year? I got a new laptop, so...
  12. How do I reprint my ticket? I can't find my printout & it was on my old laptop. Hm.. nevermind it's here https://www.midwestgamingclassic.com/mgc-order/
  13. Anyone selling game tapes? All I'm seeing for sale is game cartridges. Lame.

      Yeah I was making fun of the term "tapes". Should we call them game cassettes?

  14. Does this also apply to that adjustment pot on the underside of a Coleco Gemini module?
  15. But I'm still rockin' my iPod. I've used my tablet or phone with PodCatcher in the meantime. At least that works. If there's some freeware substitute for iTunes that has all the same features(handling music & 'casts), I'll switch.
  16. I'm coming in from the twin cities. Is there a must-visit store, arcade, etc I should hit on the way? I did hit a smal-scale arcade ice cream place, but the pins were mostly out of order.
  17. The PC version. 99% of all the tech problems reported on forums, etc are for the Mac version. I'm going to try to un & reinstall it. I did think ahead of time & marked all the star ratings of my songs in the comments field.
  18. Well, it looks like iTunes once again has failed me. It refuses to update podcasts. The last time it says it refreshed any 'cast was last Sunday(8 days ago). Manual refreshes don't work. Yet, it let one episode of RGR go through. Another fun feature is checking Genius for 10 minutes at startup, even though I swore I shut it off. ITunes gets worse with each revision, and adds confusion to the GUI. Really un-Apple like.
  19. All the status updaders below me: I'm taking you all out during SummerSlam.

      Taking us out for Beer I hope!

  20. BioShock Express was just announced. I'm not surprised they are ripping off SnowPiercer, but I'll play it.

  21. Any good sites with blueprints to make one's own cab from scratch? I had some files saved to my thumb drive, but they were awful PDFS with little to no actual information on them.
  22. If you want to make some money, sell merchandise customized with the name "Justin" to retro game podcasters. There seems to be several.
  23. CEASE ALL MODERN GAMING FUNCTIONS

      If we ceased modern gaming, then 8 billion human will die. We are in a giant SIMs game after all.

  24. Quick update: I was able to fix it(at least the reset button) by Dremeling out the circular holes to be 1 big rectangular hole. The buttons have full freedom now. PIcs later.
