Still remember this guy pitching the original shadow gangs on the neo geo forums and getting run off. Game looks terrible. Maybe he really should just put it out for snes.
@AJB83 i live in a tiny house as well. Aka my row house was built in 1920, its barely 1000 square feet.
My collection lives in a 3 foot tall 2 foot deep chest, we dont own a TV. I have an Ikea cart with a 13 inch CRT on it for gaming. Make space for what matters.
Yuuuuuupppp. If this thing isn’t vaporware, i will have one. Trying to get a 32X to sync properly with a modern display is no easy task. This should take care of that.
@Spider-Kev The reality is something will eventually break regardless. Learn to fix it now or you’ll be buying lots of “new” ones of all your slowly dying consoles in the future (or begging/paying people like me to recap and fix your old consoles.)
As someone who has fully recapped and modded out close to a dozen sega saturns with ODEs, to all of you (including Damien who wrote this thus further spreading the misconception) there is nothing fragile about the cart slot on the saturn. Depress the cart slot flap, insert a jewelers philips head screw driver and loosen the screw on the left and right side of the cart slot about 8 complete turns. The slot is prone to flex from the RF shield and casing. Loosen those screws and it will work perfectly. You’re all welcome.
@GhaleonUnlimited Fair, point taken. It is interesting to me that when you compare the retrogame “hobby” with other “hobbies” it’s financial entry point is drastically lower than many others. Recreational diving, aviation, vintage car collecting, watches, golf, and the list continues.
@GhaleonUnlimited No one said I dropped 5 grand. I made 5 grand selling a particular collection. Its easy to justify spending 600 of that 5 grand. Its easy to justify spending 600 of the other 2 grand the device allowed me to free up. Either way money was made not lost. Seems pretty straightforward.
Always hated the ps1 3D graphics in comparison to the saturn. Always hated the ps2 graphics in comparison to the DC. So very gritty and peppered with black dots and sharp edges, like sandpaper polygons.
How quickly they have moved from generally sad to hilariously pathetic! They should offer a greatest hits line where when you purchase a title they just draw a picture of a character from the game on a sticky note and slap it in a shiny box for $30.
@AG_Awesome I used to build them but dont have the time anymore. I would recommend signing up for handheld legends newsletter. He sends out discounts sometimes, and he builds nice consoles!
@Sketcz That game would be 4x4 Evolution. It still has a dedicated community and discord, tournaments, new maps being made, and online functional cross compatibility with PC via Dreamcast Live servers.
This seems completely irrelevant when we have the analogue pocket, and i have not even felt the need to purchase one of those as it also feels like it made less of an impact than it would have had it come out before the mister fpga. Definitely feeling like we are reaching the point of fpga oversaturation, especially with all the forks of mister that are occuring. These devices are going to be everywhere and turn into their own stupid format wars because eventually each fork of this stuff will have its own signature games and cores and exclusive features. Kinda like what happened with all the raspberry pi and odroid and every other ARM rombox people could hack together. Lesson learned by anyone??? Never!
Ive never understood the complaint about pricing for mister. After trying one out at a buddy’s house, realizing it really was as great as all the hype stated it was, i went home and sold my neo geo collection for 5 grand by itself, and then dumped 3 or 4 other consoles and game libraries and bought a mister. Hard to argue that a mister at a 600 dollar price point is hard to swallow when it allowed me to sell off 7 grand of crap by just having it.
This looks great. Hope it releases. After 4 times buying and selling my AES collection, i would love to see the system knocked down into the real winner of the 16 bit stratosphere.
This is a good article, but stop giving Todd attention. He is irrelevant and pretty much exists to just regurgitate things he finds elsewhere in the retro game community.
@PinballBuzzbro Dude! I remember that same Sengoku 3 faq, it was horrible. He talked about combos that “really get the crowd going” as if anyone gave a ***** what he was doing as he hunched in the corner sweating all over the neo geo cabinet lmao. So crazy to see someone reference that faq. I guess it also made an impact on me for being so cringe because I readily remembered it when you brought it up.
I own one of Retrospekt’s Polaroid refurbs. Cost about 700 bucks, barely worked when it arrived, sent it back for repairs and then it worked properly for less than 10 packs of film before it stopped taking decent photos again. I don’t have the cash currently to have it once again repaired, but just saying I hope they do a better job with Gameboys than they seem to with Polaroids.
Just like the last article you posted about this thing, I will once again pose the same (likely unanswered) question. What about those of us who want to just buy the internals for added compatibility because we already have a custom arcade stick???
