  1. I decided to pay a little more for a game doctor because I read somewhere that everdrives don't work properly. I heard that they have a design flaw- something about the system requiring a 5v circuit and the everdrive only being built for 3.3 volts. I don't know if that's true, but I didn't want to risk it. And I had a bunch of old floppies laying around doing nothing, so I decided to give them a use. Sure, it takes 3 minutes to load up Donkey Kong Country, but I don't mind- I just like using floppies.
    Btw, did you have a particular favorite backup device?


  2. Near where I lived there used to be a 80s arcade called Grinkers. It was the best place ever.
    3 key selling points:
    1. over 300 arcade machines
    2. each game was 25 cents
    3. $1 root beer floats

    They had some rare machines, like a Missile Command Cockpit and I robot.
    But then covid hit and they closed forever. I was very sad. apparently the machines were sold to a collector in Salt Lake City.
    I took some video back in January of Grinkers before they closed.

  3. I will have to try that. I have a early 2000s computer that runs Windows 98 in DOS mode. I have some 5.25 drives, but I can't get them to work with that computer (I probably need a new one.)
    Thank you!


  4. You're correct. I want to download programs and put them on disks. However, I don't like modding old hardware, and my trs-80 would be just about the last thing I would mod. Besides, the floppy drives work fine. If there was a floppy disk emulator instead of a floppy drive emulator, that I would like to have. Or if there is a usb to 5.25 drive adapter. There might not be many options for me.


  5. I bought a boxed Oddysey 2 off of craigslist earlier this year for $25. It came with speedway/spinout/crypto-logic but I bought 3 more games(blockout, kc munchkin, and attack of the timelord.) What are some recommended games to buy for this system?
