  1. Oh was it? So 80 dollars is £63. I don't mind the cost of the game but yes postage is crazy but there'll likely be customs charges too. I know Gaztee stocks Songbird Jag titles in Birmingham. Not sure if he'd do AA lynx titles.
  2. Only at the AA store? Anywhere in UK/EU? Same old thing, big customs into the UK etc. When I spoke to @Gaztee a few weeks ago he said he may look into stocking lynx titles here in the UK.
  3. Good man Carl. I think I will! I've had the old Towers forever and played it maybe as much a five minutes. So now's my excuse to do properly over Christmas.
  4. Sky Raider Redux ordered, and (Towers 2 Enhanced via Gaztee) - many thanks Carl.
  5. Thanks very much for this. Gaz has sent me a copy.
  6. No problem Fadest. I'll be on your site in the new year sometime ordering some of these new lynx titles. I've been off the scene for a couple of years.
  7. Hi all, anyone know if there's a UK/Europe distributor of Towers 2 Enhanced? I'm wanting a black Friday sale lynx game from songbird and thought I'd save on postage but as usual there will be a customs charge (around £25 I believe). Many thanks!
  8. I now have the machine back from Juansolo who has managed to fix the issues. Only one thing remains and that's the clipping of the left edge of the image on my Panasonic TV. So if @SainT would be kind enough to implement positioning on the next firmware update that would be immense. This is a condition of the TV as it happens to a certain extent also from my 32X, and so not a condition of the GD7800.
  9. Hi Karri, I don't mind the S-video. My TV has a variety of inputs. Also I'll be making good use of the RGB output via SCART from the GD7800. 🙂
  10. Saint - I've just tested it with a slightly more modern flat screen TV and I have no image centering issues this time with the same RGB SCART cable. But the system is still semi powering down in the same way with the GD. Juansolo is going is going to look it over for me and do some fixes. I don't think the GD is at fault at all.
  11. Just gonna do it a bit of further testing - with a different TV and will be in touch..
  12. Wanted to say - if you could add screen centering/positioning to your list for the future firmware updates, I think that would be pretty awesome and welcomed generally given the varying behaviours of flat screen TVs out there.
  13. That's all cool thanks Saint. It's Panasonic and only sometimes slightly glitchy with the Jaguar. I think it's the console at fault. The display just glitches or vanishes to black with the console still running. I think it's not happy with the GD rather than anything actually wrong with the GD.
  14. Thank you. I will. Update on the screen glitches... The power light dims to half illumination during the glitches.
  15. Thanks Saint. I wouldn't know about how the magic knight mod has been done as the creator of the mod did my installation. Yes the MD2 scart cable is what I'm using and I assume it's carrying RGB. It's a full pin scart plug. My 2009 flat screen has always been fine with every retro console I feed it.. And I have a lot of them! I've just tried to tune the analogue signal from the 7800's original RF out but it won't work so I think the modder has disabled it. I've been running the built in Asteroids (no cart inserted) and it doesn't crash/glitch the image to a black screen like the Game Drive does. Also tried without the seagull adapter and just the old fashioned joystick but still the screen glitches. I think the problem is my 7800 has a propensity for this intermittently, and the GD is just highlighting it on every boot. Whether the 7800 needs a service /recap etc I don't know. Maybe someone in the UK could take a look at it after I explore this upscaler option. EDIT - I can't spend $390 on the upscaler! But thanks for the recommendation. Inbuilt Asteroids has now been running for an hour and no glitches. I think the issue therefore must also be related to the cart slot.
  16. Thanks Saint, 4:3 still clips the edge! Now that I was not expecting! (Also 14:9.) See pic. I'll try the upscaler. So you think this may solve the image crashes too? It is LCD I think. From 2009. During crashes the 7800 is still nicely powered on.
  17. Hi SainT, further to our discussion a couple of days ago I have now located the MegaDrive 2 DIN to SCART cable. The colour is superior to the S-Vid mod but the screen image is off centre to the left and the far left of the image is therefore clipped. Ideas? Further - the 7800 does tend to crash the image (like an out of tune 2600 on a CRT - or sends the screen totally black) - this happens on the rare occasion with regular carts (tested again yesterday) - but is happening every time guaranteed after about a minute with the Game Drive. 2600 ROMS on the Game Drive are not running through the S-video mod (out of tune), but run ok through the GD's AV out (image to the left - with crashes after a minute). Pics of the S-video mod (taken today) attached. Any ideas? (Ballblazer music (POKEY) is fine now through the proper cable but still have to turn the volume up on the TV.) Many thanks.
  18. Thanks Saint. I have an MD2 scart cable. Will give it a whizz.. If no joy, I'll also look into this upscaler. Thank you for your help!
  19. Thanks Saint. RGB.. Hmm not sure.. It's DIN plug to red, yellow, white plugs going into the same on the flatscreen TV. Presumably RGB is the signal rather than the form factor?? So... Does it have to be scart?? Maybe if you'd be kind enough to post a link to the most ideal RGB MD2 cable that would be great. I didn't get the Mega 7800 as I have the seagull adapter already. I hope that doesn't affect anything. Pokey.. I would have no idea but will research what's been done, I sent the 7800 off to someone years ago for the mod. I think his name was Richard.
  20. Mine has S-video mod and presumably the original RF out, disabled. Game drive arrived today and I can't get the video signal from the AV out from the game drive with my MD2 cable. Audio is fine though. I assume this is something to do with having the S-video mod..?? Do I need to configure Pokey things? Because with my Ballblazer ROM I can barely hear the music.
  21. Order placed via Retro Towers. It'll be cool to say I have all Saint's drives so far, NGPC, Lynx , Jag and 7800. Brits do it again!
