Got notification that mine hit the states today. Scheduled to be delivered on Tuesday; same day I'm leaving town for a week. Oh well - I guess I can wait a week longer

I'm firmly in the "why not both?" camp.

Got my shipping notification today
For those in the US, how long did it take to arrive once shipped?
-
I just saw this thread, got excited, and ordered one, without knowing very much (other than I remember the 1st version selling out).
Will this work with my original power supply?
It won't work with the original power supply. I ordered one of these to power mine.

Bummer. But I assumed it was a long shot.

I obtained a Sanyo MBC-555 PC a few months ago. It was a very early entry into the PC clone market, and isn't 100% compatible with IBM's offerings. Therefore it can't use your typical early PC-era disks that you might find on eBay. A boot disk came with it, but it appears to be corrupted.
I found a bunch of .IMG disk images for it online, and I'm trying to figure out how to write them to real 5.25" floppies.
I know the 1571 can read/write MS-DOS disks, and ZoomFloppy can at least transfer D64/G64/etc. images from PC to a floppy. Does anyone know if I can use this same setup to write MS-DOS images from the PC to the 1571?

Nice; I ended up ordering one a few days ago. I'm way down in the queue, but glad to see others are happy with their purchases.
How is the video output? Any striping that would require a lumafix, or is that a solved problem on the Reloaded?

The C64 was $200 cheaper than the Atari at launch and came with 64k of RAM. What was the advantage of getting an Atari 800?
The 800 preceded the it by three years or so, so there's that
The 800XL was more of a direct competitor to the 64. -
The most painful of all, the Atari 800 home computer from 1982, with BASIC cartridge, self-teaching guide, reference manual, and 48K RAM ... $739 in 1982, which is like $1870 today!
I have distinct memories of messing with the Atari 800 kiosk at Sears, and realizing that it was far outside my parents' price range. It wasn't as bad as the Apple II line, but still... very pricey.

Really getting sick of being told that positive thinking is somehow bad.
It runs both ways here.
Positive thinking, magical thinking. Potatoe, Potato.

Ah, Canyon Runner. My first program I typed in on my new C64.
Edit: Oh wait... that was Canyon Cruiser. Potatoe, Potato.

Shipped my heavy sixer to him for a repair last year. Eventually got a package - but it was someone else's stuff. We cross shipped, and I got my 2600 back, but after being bounced all over the eastern half of the US, the box was in bad shape and the 2600 was non-functional. It would at least power on when I shipped it to him.
About that time he disappeared with a bunch of other people's stuff. So who knows if it was ever repaired correctly. I doubt he'll poke his head in here again, but if he does AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

Seriously? Seems like even the most archaic devices I have can still stream YouTube with no issues, including my 6-year old Panasonic Blu-Ray player (had 5 apps at launch, still has 5 apps) and even my Wii.
I thought Google killed off YouTube support for the Wii earlier this year; they stopped delivering video in Flash format, IIRC.
Not that it matters, most people have multiple devices capable of streaming YouTube content.

Not Jaguar it's 32-bit
Genesis
Sega CD
TG16
TG16-CD
Neo Geo
and maybe CDI (although who cares)
As long as we're wishing, I'd also add the Commodore CDTV/CD32, the NeoGeo Pocket and the Wonderswan.

For those who already ordered, did they charge you immediately?

According to Polygon Kevtris did indeed work on this

We aren't gonna see tg16 or c64 on the nt mini and it seems stupid for Kevtris to waste his time on them at this point (time better spent on the next gen).
I don't think C64 support is *that* much of a stretch. Though obviously it's up to him how and what he chooses to develop.
-
Is Kevtris ready to spill the beans?
Edit: No analog output, bummer. But if that's the tradeoff to cut the price in half compared to the NT Mini, it's OK in my book.

I'd bet dollars to donuts the fullsize and the handheld will never see the light of day.

Got the urge to play some Zork, so I set up the 128 for proper 80 column G.U.E. exploration.

These look great; I'd love to see covers for the 8-bit computer line.

Have some questions about the NES core.
It seems like the roms in the SD card are listed double. Both work.
Looks like its only the NES core listings that is showing double roms. Dont know why, any ideas?
Same. I need to try a different SD card and see if that makes a difference

Preorder open for C64 Reloaded MK2

Amazingly, it arrived an hour after my post. It's a Christmas miracle!
Works great, though apparently two of my spare VIC-IIs were duds. With the remaining good VIC-II I'm still noticing some slight vertical banding. Not a huge deal - much less noticeable than the banding on the C128.
I did order an 8580 with it to put in the second slot; I have a couple of extra 6581s to populate the first slot. For whatever reason Law of the West and the 8580 don't play nicely together - the bass track is silent.
Once I get the kids situated this evening I'll mess around with the kernal/charset options.
