Dreamcast HDMI converters
CaptainBreakout replied to CaptainBreakout's topic in Classic Console Discussion
Wow! Nice to know the high end option. Very tempting but time-consuming and pricy. Considering it tho. Thank you CrossBow Awhile ago I encountered a YPrPb solution. I know this connection is almost obsolete, but that WOULD let me hook this up to a switch matrix and run it into my RetroTink. The line-doubling looks beautiful for the Genesis that way. Here's the link for the DC YPrPb cable, but I never found a way to buy it... https://www.hdretrovision.com/dreamcast -
Dreamcast HDMI converters
CaptainBreakout replied to CaptainBreakout's topic in Classic Console Discussion
I have a retrotink. But I want to get the output from the VGA of the Dreamcast (which is unique for the console). That's why Im leaning towards the Kaico. -
Hiya, I was looking at this converter for the Dreamcast. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07SK85NGH/ This Kaico one looks like pretty respectable quality, and I like that it's based on VGA output. There's also dirt cheap ones on AliExpress, such as this... https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256806154649156.html All the AliExpress ones don't specifically say if it's based on the VGA Dreamcast output or the composite. I'm guessing one gets what one pays for here, but I thought I'd ask the community for any thoughts or experiences with these devices, since I'm not in a hurry. Id appreciate hearing about Dreamcast converters/upscalers, especially something like these two. Also looking for a similar solution for my Saturn. Thanks!

It's a Genesis 6-button controller on a seagull adaptor (from the AA store). We're playing this on a 7800 with an A/V mod.

It's been almost two decades since I first saw this cart label on the AtariAge search index.... 20 years since that lmao... And here it is in my hands! My son and I played it last night ... And we admit we had no idea what we were doing. If you don't have anything to do for two minutes of your life... I recorded some of the experience...

My son and I are testing out some games from Germany! The first one is Motorcross. It's okay. Playable!!! Some of these weird games from far away... He seems to like it... But when I asked him he said... "This game is so bad!" We'll try some more. 😁

What did you buy today?.........
CaptainBreakout replied to evilevoix's topic in Show Us Your Collection!
Perhaps the best example of a game one collects and doesn't play. -

Three Video Pinballs compared C-380
CaptainBreakout replied to Rob Mitchell's topic in Dedicated Systems
The other day I was looking at a thread here that went into detail about how to mod these c-380's for A/V out. I can't seem to find the thread about it now. Anyone know the link to that thread? -
List of 2600 games with boss battles?
CaptainBreakout replied to sloth-machine's topic in Atari 2600
It probably does not qualify... Since it's a little like the situation with Yars Revenge and the Qotile. Running from Mike Myers in Halloween is pretty much the entire game. There are some short periods of time when he's not on the screen, but he's never that far away. It funny when you compare Atari's Halloween to something like Friday the 13th on the NES. I'm pretty sure it's an easy win to say that Jason is a boss in that game, and he appears a lot, but in that game there's more stuff to do to break up the boss fights. Halloween has Mike in it so much (he's the main element of the game, besides saving kids), saying he's a boss fight would be a little like saying every main adversary in a game like Tag Team Wrestling or (shudder) your opponent in Froggo's Karate are also a boss fights, and they are clearly not. Anyways, thought it was worth mentioning here, but unless we consider the whole game a boss fight, I don't actually think it qualifies to be honest. -

CaptainBreakout replied to sloth-machine's topic in Atari 2600
All the time, and no one has mentioned Halloween. (According to the manual... it's the game where HE comes home!) -
What did you buy today?.........
CaptainBreakout replied to evilevoix's topic in Show Us Your Collection!
I've always kinda wanted one of these... $30 shipped. Untested. I think I made out pretty good on it, but I think it needs a bath. It looks like it's possible to do an A/V mod on these things. Kinda excited 'bout that -
Hoy! I got the greatest package ever from Deutschland today! I'll write about it more as I explore it. Life is good. Enjoy it.

Raiders of the Lost Ark... ... The Ark!!! I'm just kidding. But actually if you look at the movie you could see the ending as one hell of a boss battle. -

VLM emulation possible through GameDrive?

I've been following this device since it's inception, but I have a gap and lost track. Jaguar CDs working in any capacity? -

Polaris I think should get a shout-out. Also in another thread we've been talking about Snail vs Squirrel a lot. I'm glad this one is getting noticed finally. And lastly, the unreleased Meltdown from 20th Century Fox is probably my favorite of their games, and also might be my favorite unreleased prototype. When the game first starts you are thinking... Ok cute. I think I get it, line up the cross hairs and shoot the dancing pixel. Ok... So is that it? But five minutes later, the game has ramped up and is delivering psychedelic visuals that make Tempest 2000 look calm in comparison... Your heart rate is elevated and you are moving the controller as fast as you can! The screen flashes and pulses A LOT... like no way this game would come out now because I can see how it would be almost guaranteed to trigger epilepsy. Use real hardware if possible, since you'll want the screen strobing and pulsing shapes to match 60fps 1-to-1... and give it a try if you dare!

Interesting. I'm planning on using that mod for my 5200 because of this YouTuber... It looks like the same mod as the first post, just the AliExpress version. I ordered a few a week or ago and plan on using them in my 4-port 5200 and my 2600 six-switch.
