While I certainly hope that there is a price crash with Sega Genesis and SNES games, it doesn't look like it's going happen anytime soon. I checked eBay for Super Castlevania IV, and, cartridge-only, it's going for $44.00. That's up from $33.00 about a year ago. And that's not a rare game. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I know that, but they weren't doing bad before that. I think the picture on this will look fantastic! Nintendo knows how to build quality hardware; if it was anyone else making this then I'd be concerned. I wonder which retailers are going to sell this? They're going to go like hotcakes this holiday shopping season. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I'm not hating on this console, first of all. Given how protective Nintendo are with their IPs, they'd never add an SD card slot so that people could download NES roms and play them on this console. Regardless of markets, I seriously doubt that it would have cost Nintendo that much more money to make this thing larger and include a cartridge slot. Nintendo's rolling in money, partly do to the phenomenal success of Pokemon Go. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Nintendo should have known better then to not include a cartridge slot, and that ticks me off. They have to know that at least some of the people who will buy this have NES games. I'd save my money for the Retrousb AVS. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I just don't want to get a Windows 98 Pentium II computer where the Windows 98 games, and the older games, run too slow. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

. OK, where do I get the SLOWMO program from? And what if I need to speed up the Pentium II? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

So I saw a YouTube video from someone who has an IBM Aptiva, running Windows 98, with a Pentium II that runs at 400MHz. I've seen other brands of Windows 98 PCs that have the Pentium II, BUT it's running at a lower speed then 400MHz-would there be any way for me to get one and mess with the clock speed somehow? I don't see how I could, unless the PC has some kind of turbo switch, like an old Gateway 2000.

What does the RAM expansion do, help the games run faster? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I'm assuming that most games for the Tandy 1000 series of computers came out on 5.25" disks, not 3.5" disks. Part of the reason why I ask is that external Tandy drives (I don't know if they have to be that brand or not.) seem nearly impossible to find. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I'd love to buy a Gameboy Advance, model AGS-101, with the back light. I don't care what color the unit is, as long it's in excellent condition, and comes with the original charger. Since payment will be made through PayPal, I can pay anyone, anywhere, however I would prefer that the seller be located either here in the USA, or Canada. That's about it. Please contact me if you're interested! Thanks!-Dave

Thanks for your opinion. I know that Best Electronics have their own light gun, but I haven't read anything about it. It's gotta be better then the XE gun. It's listed here http://www.best-electronics-ca.com/quickguide.htm

OK, sorry Al.

Sorry for repeating this post so many times-Tapatalk kept telling me that it failed to post.

I've played this game on an Atari compilation for the Nintendo DS, and it was fun, tapping enemies to destroy them. What is it like playing this game on an Atari 2600, with the XE light gun? I've never read any reviews of this game that cover that. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Well that's good news!

I can't believe that there are still no homebrew games for the 3DO. Seriously, there's even one for the SNES playstation! AFIK, the 3DO was no more complicated to program games for then any other console around at the time.

Well, I asked on another gaming forum, and the person said that "Multi-format compatibility only started with composite." Makes sense, but thanks for the reply 7800fan!

I know it's not simple, but I have seen composite to HDMI, and RGB to SCART converters that will do the job. My question is about RF.

From what I've read, PAL RF gets it's signal through UHF channels, but there are UHF channels here in the USA. I'm just thinking that if I bought a PAL console or computer, RF out might be the cheapest option. Perhaps something like this would work?: I can't read Portuguese, so I'm not 100% sure that that's what the converter does, but it looks like it.

So the PAL slim model PS2s are exceptions to the rule? As far as voltage step up converters do, I don't want to spend a lot of money-this one looks solid: http://www.220-electronics.com/100-watt-diamond-series-deluxe-voltage-converter.html

So Mark, on Classic Game Room, had an episode where he got a PAL slim PS2. And all he had to do to get the right power into the console was swap out another 8.5v slim PS2 power supply, and not use a voltage step up converter. What confuses me about this, is that I was under the impression that ALL PAL hardware, whether it be a gaming console, or a computer, requires 220 volts. Is it just the "newer" hardware that doesn't?

OK, thanks! I think all of the screws in the NES are phillips head.

OK, then I can just clean it. Since the pins are so small, how do I tell if they are physically damaged at all?

At this point, I wonder if I should just buy a new 72-pin connector, or the blinking light win. Arcade Works has a pretty heavy backlog of orders for the blinking light win, although you can still get one.

Speaking of playing games on gog.com, and not to get too off-topic, is there anyway to properly run Windows 8.1 in a 4:3 aspect ratio? I can shrink the screen size down to that on the Dell monitor that I'm using, but Windows 8 just looks like a mess-icons are too small, etc.
