Re: Its now possible to play backups by flashing Saturn Cart

Agreed. I was more-so just referring to the drive itself. I remember a lot of people having the flip their PS1 over. I haven't watched the video yet but if it involves the disc swapping, I do think that could damage the drive over time. I guess if you do it right you only have do it once versus peo...

Re: SNES Classic coming September 29th

I tried to get a N64 HDMI kit direct but he won't sell the kits to anyone, despite giving him evidence of the several things I've built (like my final year uni project that was full of fecking SMCs, years spent soldering, countless modded consoles all done by myself.) but no. You have to be a recogn...

Re: SNES Classic coming September 29th

I wonder if we'll see an N64 classic, this time next year. If we do I'd estimate a similar price hike to $100 and an even slimmer line-up of games. The complexity of the controller could be something of a factor though. I also wonder if we'll see the SNES classic pop up in clone format as quickly a...

Re: SNES Classic coming September 29th

I've got a confirmed pre-ordered with the Nintendo store just in case but also a few pre-orders elsewhere. Want one to play (and modify) and one for keeping sealed. There's no way that this thing isn't going to go up in value. The rest (if I manage to get them in) will go to friends as presents. Des...

Re: Family & Friends places and gaming memories growing up

Goldeneye was such an amazing experience I remember being forced to take turns using a racing wheel controller because we only had 2 real controllers and shitty third party controller that had a broken analogue stick which my Granddad helped 'fix' by filing a golf tee down fitting over the metal spi...

Re: Light Gun Games on Modern TVs

This is interesting. I love me some Lightgun games but not had the chance to play them much since the advent of modern TVs. The actual IR part of the wii remote is pretty small so this looks like something you could easily build into most controllers. However cannibalising a bunch of wii remotes isn...
