Ummm - not sure. Kid is asleep now but anyway I thought that you just added files to the jump/flash drive and then just selected the game to play

Bill - Yes I agree. Like I said... I was just ranting to me they are not worth buying. IF YOU WANT TO GET INTO CLASSIC GAMING - these systems are the way to go. With the next step being a 'flash'? cart system - then actual games. Jeff

Update. I've (OK well my son) has tried smaller USB drives. They work for a while but then fail. Then the gotek screen 'just show dashes' or 'you must replace volume 'gamename'. (Me - this is why I didn't want to go this route - if it ain't plug in play - F--- it. My time is very limited. Glad the son is willing to figure this out for me...) Help would be appreciated. Jeff31

sorry time to rant a bit. OK - so I see flashback systems for EVERY system (dam there's probably one for the xbox6 & playsation 5!). I may be the only person who doesn't give a CRAP about these CRAP systems... (IMHO - they are CRAP) Atari flash back 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 - GOD how many can they make Sega Genesis flash back 1 2 3 4 Intellivision 1 2 3 4 Colecovision 1 2 3 4 5 6 .......... $40-50 bucks each..... you get the picture.....! Yes if you don't have the games this is an easy way to get them... But for me these 'retro' systems ARE JUST GARBAGE - IMHO. SORRY FOR MY RANT - JUST GIVE ME GOOD GAMES (ON CART) TO PURCHASE) Sigh - enjoy your retro systems! Jeff31

Last time I saw a retro system (2600 / coleco / etc) in a thirft store... hmmm well never going back to 1998 (mid michigan area). Have seen a few dozen 2600 games a few intellivision carts... way over priced). I stop by goodwill and such stores - but very much less than I did 10 years ago - nothing there worth buying. Around 1997 a kid in the neighborhood sold me his Coleco for $5 (it worked - and yes a good deal)

Finally had a chance to play my McWill modded Lynx. Looks great. Don't have an unmodified unit to compare (I think?! - no time to look!) but very nice upgrade. It's worth the price whichever way you go (DIY or McWill)). Looking forward to the future upgrades he may offer! Jeff

Hope I'm 'not stepping on toes' here but Ed is in Brazil now visiting his wife so cut them a little slack. I'm sure in a week or so there will be updates.

Thanks JF. Now can you get me reflexes, eyesight & time that I had 35 years ago to put this to good use. Jeff

I purchased GnZ because I wanted the game. Sure, some of it was because only 30 - 50 - 60 carts were made (10%) - but I wanted the game, mostly (90%). If I paid $50 bucks for it - sure I was hoping that some day I'd get $60-75 - but 357 Euros - that's insane. I also wanted Maze Maniac but only 20 or so of those were made. Missed out on that by a few days. Will I play $$$ bucks for it - no. Would I like a cart of the game - yes. Bottom line is - develop a game - estimate a need (100 carts?) then 30 sell so what do I do with 70 carts! or 300 want it - crap! If you promised a 100 cart run then 'stick to your guns' (as Youki did) - I;m OK with it. If you said a 100 cart run and more runs if interest is shown - fine. I think his 'solution' was fine - re-engineer the game as sell it to all that wanted it. Jeff

Had McWill mod 2 Game Gears and a Lynx. I've only had time to check the GG's... WOW! Fantastic improvement (I still have a working non-upgraded unit - won't be playing it!). If you're into GG and can't do electronics work then I'd highly recommend this upgrade from him - worth every penny I spent (and yes it is rather expensive). Jeff PS hope to check out the upgraded Lynx in a day or so (Poo - had to work the weekend)

Update. Got a Gotek (OK my son did). Installed 'software(?)' and things haven't gone well (won't boot on startup(?) ).... I need to get with him to figure out what problems he is having... When I do I'll ask for help. Thanks! Jeff

Sigh. (?) I did purchase a laser disc 'back in the day' - CLD-900 - as I recall - and several movies (unit $1000 - movies $30-$50). (Now have a 900, 909A(?) and 2 Cld-100A's(?) Then I saw the new CLD-A100(?) that could play Sega / Turbo Grafix / etc games - COOL - but newly married couldn't afford the price...! fast forward '20' years and I now have 2 units and all the add ons (except the Karoke thing...).... I have a few laser active 'games' but when I look the ones I don't have are $$$$$!!!! Sorry won't spend a million on these games today. Jeff

Well - I've ordered and received several games from Fury over the years. Then I 'heard' rumors etc. Something(?) happened... I did get Warrior about 4 years after I ordered it. BUT I did get it. At this point I feel that I still might get Hellhole but only he (they?) know. I've got about $200-$300 dollars 'invested' in games that I'll never see (some of it here Thanks Chickybaby ) Jeff31

Hellhole and Spinner Controller ordered and paid for on 7/21/2012.

Track and Field 2 - Yes As for the others - maybe.

So would I - but I only have 2.

A WAY lot older than most of you :-) Still love the system. Wish I could get all of the homebrews! Keep bring wonders to this system! Jeff31

Update. I have received Bokosuka Wars (limited release) & Mouser (limited release) These should be moved to released. Jeff31

OK - finally got around to removing the batteries (2 mother boards). By removing them - I mean desoldering the 'leads' and pulling the whole thing out. Do I need to replace this - or will the system run fine with out 'battery backup'? Really only use the system to play games a few time a year. Still looking into a gotten solution.

I waited - for years - for this game to come out. I 'think' it would be interesting to 'see the background' of the development of the game. That being said - I DO NOT want to see others second guessing the decisions that Andrew / Thomas / FSS made. This is history and can't be changed My thoughts Jeff

Fantastic! Like I said to another 'great' player - 'Do you sleep with that thing?' (Lethal Weapon reference) I've never been past level 5. Thanks for the walkthru.

Yikes! Glad I got my systems when I did (1999-2000) #1 System +12 games (4-5 boxed) - $125. #2 (from the same place) System + 12 games (4-5 boxed) - got some dup games in this one but also got a Polar Rescue w/overlay.

dis·in·gen·u·ous ˌdisənˈjenyo͞oəs/ adjective not candid or sincere, typically by pretending that one knows less about something than one really does. Sorry you feel that way - but it is my 'candid / sincere' opinion - you have yours - case closed. Good luck finding the games - as I hope to find the ones I'm missing also. Jeff
