@O_Ilusionista Thanks for reaching out. I have subscribed in your channel and will definitely check the game, as I mentioned I am a huge fan, I have watched all seasons of PR multiple times. And, to be honest, I really like the sound clips you use, looking forward to try the game.

I got the game in launch day in Europe back in the day and my copy had no artwork or CD!

As you can probably guess from my username I am a huge fan of Castlevania and Symphony of the Night is one of my favourite games of all time!

The specs look good but since I have a rg280v for short bursts and a Steam Deck for the bigger stuff so this may not be for me

I have backed all his books in Kickstarter and I have already backed this one. Seriously, his books are very good.

I am one of the kickstarter backers of the game. It is a cool game, I reccomend it if you like those kind of games.

I always thought that it is way cool that SEGA basically sells you Mega Drive roms via Steam. I am not aware of anybody else doing this.

Wait Gale Racer is a 32bit Saturn version of Rad Mobile? I did not know that! Seems that the Saturn game stayed in Japan though...

Master System for me, then Dreamcast. TBH my favourite Saturn games have better ports in the Dreamcast, even though some of its games have also PS2 or even PS4/Xone/steam versions... My top pic remains Master System.

Mine has been shipped, I will have it in a couple of days. Can't wait!!!!!

I got r-type final 2 in release date and every time I get around to play it there seems to be a paid update... Maybe I have waited if final 3 has all dlc included...

I have the original digital Dragonborne (they sell the rom in their website). I will definitely check the GBC version.

Ι still can't believe how good and clear the digital image that Dreamcast outputs even with a cheap hdmi connector. As much as I love the Dreamcast I am not that fan of the controller so I bought this adapter that also has 200 blocks of DC memory

Using this I connect my PS4 controller to DC and Saturn (which I also not a big fan)

Thanks for letting us know about this. I really enjoy playing homebrew game boy games in my flash card.

I don't get why they do not offer digital games as an option. This is a console not a one time thing like the Mega Drive Classic. I mean I love physical game preservation but actual costs when you play a game should be considered.

Let's say I import the console from the UK or Germany (it is also available there for preorder for 150 euros if you are in mainland EU)... The cost of shipping/customs/taxes/wait time of each cartridges is something I don't really like.

@Andee This technique was used in more games. The Master System and Game Gear ports of Mortal Kombat 1 and 2 are the ones that come easily to mind.

How can you emulate Game Boy if you have only two buttons instead of 4?

Excluding marketing and other logistics I think the mini consoles prove that it may be easier to make a console today with the advantages in single board computers and software emulation. But even in x86 systems after the success of the steam deck we seem to have a new pc-spec handheld announced every other day!

I will get this if they release a digital rom version.

@Muriustar I have the 64GB version of the Steam Deck and you can use a program called Emu Deck to set up everything. DS, 3DS and the recent Nintendo system work great. I miss my original saves though; it is a pain to move them from my OG cartridges. There is also a beta version of Vita 3000 for the Deck that I have not tried yet.

Sometimes I think that it was a good decision that I went digital in the Vita. It was hard to find games for it here and there were some very good discounts. Basically, I ended up getting a lot of digital PSP and Vita games after all the good old Sony sales and I have all of them in a 256 SD2Vita memory card.

@Muriustar This. Basically, a Steam Deck for the systems that are harder to emulate (with a HDMI to type-c dock to connect to a monitor or TV) plus a cheaper lighter handheld like one of the following: RG351V or 280V (really love that they have type-c ports, one less charger to carry around) or a PSP (or Vita) or 3ds (if you are more into Nintendo) for the more easy stuff.

In the end of the day, even though I love OG hardware I can't stand some of them. I have 3 Game Gears, in one of which I changed the capacitors, and the screen does not work in any of them! My Dreamcast does not play OG disks sometimes but if I make a backup of such disk it plays it (although TBO I am surprised of how great and clean picture Dreamcast provides).

@Damo A quick search shows that you are right. There is no way, at the moment, to boot isos from the Pseudo Saturn.

I use my Pseudo Saturn to boot og games from Japan in my pal Saturn and there are framerate issues in some games. It also works as a ram expansion, it is a very cool hardware piece.

Excluding some popular Sega arcade ports Saturn games are very expensive (and were expensive before everything retro went up in price)... I don't really get it though, the console was not that popular.

Very cool! I am not an expert but I always thought a way would be found to load games via the cartridge slot i.e. a "new" Pseudo Saturn card with an sd card slot.

For a product sent from EU to EU the shipping is very expensive 115 euros + 45 shipping...

I am a huge Power Rangers fan. There are many cool fan games. This reuses assets from other games and sound clips from the MMPR episodes. The thing is it really annoyed me that in the Snes game all morphed rangers were palette swaps. I really thought that the Game Gear versions better represented the show.

Just give me the EU preorder date already...

I love this game. I still have it. I have 3 Game Gear consoles from many years ago, one has no video, one no sound and one dead pixels... I would love to get another Game Gear but they are becoming expensive.

Awesome idea. Looking forward to the content. As you may recall from Push Square I am a retro gamer, SEGA, Castlevania and Square fan and very much in the retro game preservation stuff and emulation.

@Damo Thanks!! That's quite a lot!

Have you tried Master System games via the adapter? Is there a way for Retrode 2 to play NES games?
