Post your first post on racketboy

Post by Jrecee »

Embarassingly, my dream is to create my own 16-bit retro console and make games for it. Not to compete with the PS3 or anything but as a niche product for people who wish they still made games for their genesises and sneses.

I keep considering buying something like this to learn how to do it but just waching the vid on that site that showed a pic of some schematics makes me think I'll never figure it out (then there's having to learn to program for it too!).

Yada, anway: I've got my Genesis, Saturn, and Dreamcast up and online (figuratively speaking) and am starting to collect games. I've got a question about battery aided memory for all three systems, however:

Genesis: In cart battery, right? How are RPG's and the like holding up after all these years? Is it possible to replace batteries with little muss if needed

Saturn: Haven't gotten any games for it yet...internal memory? Or do I need a cart for that expansion slot?

Dreamcast: How long do the VMU's last before the battery needs to be replaced?

Bonus Question: Powerbase Converter or Genuine Mastersystem?


I had just received the Genesis I won in the auction and got up the nerve to get involved.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

My worst game would be Vietnam 2: Black Ops. It was awful beyond belief.


I posted this in the topic "Worst game in your library." I posted this on Feb 11, 2009.

one of the most WTF games I have ever purchased is Irritating Stick for the PS! by Jaleco. Check it out!


I'm quite proud of my first post for mentioning such a quirky awesome game.
