Thinking of selling my Concerto-Cart as it won´t work with PAL-machines and there is no information if it ever will

I've been thinking the same since mine won't play right with my NTSC machine either.  Been holding out for the eventual firmware update.  I knew when I bought it it was a work in progress, so I'm not trying to sound ungrateful.  In the meantime I've been playing mostly on the 7800 core on Mister which is quite good.

I picked this up a few weeks ago. It’s a fun game but I’m going to need to practice so I can get decent at it. Tough but fun! Very impressive for a homebrew title.

Use beat for .bps patches.

That's the one I used too and it worked great.

Depends on price.  What were you thinking?

[FS: Original NES Bonk's Adventure SOLD!]

Congrats on your sale!  I remember finding one of these years ago for a couple bucks before it was known for being such a stupidly rare game.  I found it lacking compared to the TG-16 version so I sold it for $50.  Which at the time was a lot of money for an NES game.  Live and learn I suppose.  😄

[Why I am hesitant to buy a PS5]

I’ll eventually get a PS5, but I see no reason to buy one currently. There are no new games I want to play, and the eventual redesign will most likely be smaller and more aesthetically pleasing.

There is something so incredibly off-putting about the whole mister thing..  I can't place my finger on it though.  

Try it, you’ll like it!

What are you playing it with?

I have a couple 8bitdo controllers I use with my MiSTer.  My main one is a SF30 Pro.

I made a bps patch to add a header to the game. The rom will usually be named FoxBox.bin if you got it from steam.

This worked great, thanks!  Although it's a bit weird to play without music.  But man does it look nice via RGB through the MiSter tho!

These look pretty sweet, nice work! What are the dimensions of the stick?

[Analogue Super NT production runs?]

The Super NT classic, Super NT-SF and Super NT-Black are all gone. The NT Min Noir is $499 and is still there. Who the hell needs a $500 NES?

That would be me, but I got one the last time they were available. With the jailbreak it’s well worth it IMHO. Love my NT Mini Noir!

[What are the best 3DS eShop games?]

I’d have to look at my 3DS later when I’m home, but one that comes immediately to mind is Pocket Card Jockey. It’s a super fun and addictive horse racing game that’s worth checking out.

I have this dust cover for the entire console that I quite like:

[Upcoming Jaguar Game Drive Cartridge]

Got mine today as well, and it’s working great with a 32gb Sandisk card I had laying around. Thanks a lot to both SainT and Al. It’s been awhile coming, but it was very much worth the wait!

[NeoGeo Pocket Colour Flash Cartridge]

No, I can provide that. Just drop me a message -- https://www.retrohq.co.uk/contactus/ 

I dropped you a note as well since I’ve been having this issue since upgrading to a new aftermarket console shell. The paper trick works once you figure out exactly where to position it tho. Thanks SainT!

Today I received issue 217 (the Capcom issue) which seems to be the latest one.  Of course 216 is sill in the wind, but it seems things are slightly improving finally.

[Upcoming Jaguar Game Drive Cartridge]

So excited to finally give this a go, I can't wait!

[Retro Gamer Magazine (UK)]

Issue 215 (the Neo Geo issue) showed up out of the blue. Looks like this shipped from Germany. I know the German Post wasn’t mailing anything to the US for many months, so hopefully other missing issues will show up.

 

I also got another questionnaire about their service which I savaged them on. I put in my info to be contacted, but judging from their recent customer service that won’t happen.

[My Retro-Corner]

I like the look of that Panasonic TV. Sweet setup!

[TheC64 Full Size - Pre-orders Open for USA]

Got mine too. Glad to see their supply issues have been resolved.

I still see an original with the right combination of original and modern peripherals as infinitely better to VICE in a nice package, but I still bought one just for the hell of it. It's a cool homage.

That was my mindset too, as I have many different devices that will play C64 games besides my actual C64.  Plus these US editions are selling for twice the going rate on eBay if you decide you don't want it down the line.

[TheC64 Full Size - Pre-orders Open for USA]

i just checked amazon and didnt see it. i did see a mini selling at the price for a full size

Sorry about that!

[TheC64 Full Size - Pre-orders Open for USA]

I noticed these came back in stock on Amazon and I bought one just now. Figured I’d post in case anyone else has been wanting one.

[Converting Jag CD's to ISO image]

I haven't had any reason to rip my Jaguar CD's (yet), but I've used ImgBurn to rip other game discs for use on ODE's (Saturn, PSX, Turbografx, Sega CD) and it works great for that plus it's pretty straight forward and easy to use.
