@KevvyLava it's not cynical to dislike something. Instead of flaming me you could contribute to the discussion. You are the definition of a forum troll.

It's basically a super expensive rom dumper and emulator platform.

All of these things can be had for massively less cost elsewhere.

Plus the Mister is superior to this in every way.

It's probably not exactly vapourware... yet. But there's already the RetroFreak, and the Retron 5 in this market, and no real need for another proprietary emulator/rom dumper.

@Alto I liked Stella glow too, I went and bought the previous games for ds made by the same developer, luminous arc 1 and 2. Fair strategy games and witches!
I also got god wars recently on switch, different Devs but quality story and voice acting.

The shimmer when moving is caused by incorrect screen aspect ratio. Game Boy had different screen res to NES so it creates a shimmer when moving as horizontal to vertical no. of pixels is out of kilter. Probably better off with a GBA x5 card from kirkzz and an original GBA SP-101. The NES emulator that works on the GBA x5 is outstanding as well.

@tguk911 thanks for the tip.

@tguk911 I'm not worried about soldering, I would prefer it as you say, to avoid loose wires over time. The biggest problem is dremeling out plastic, so if not required for 8bitdo sanwa conversion I'm sold!

@hatch thanks very much. Aus and Canadian dollars are very close so I buy lots of gaming relates things from Canada, Video Games Plus is great.

@hatch you put a sanwa joystick into the 8bitdo arcade stick? I think I saw a YouTube video about this but I thought it might be expensive to buy the ge uube Japanese sanwa parts plus the 8bitdo? If you have a link or can suggest a website would be happy to hear where you got the parts?

Do you know how your sanwa mod compares got he hori stick for the switch? I think those are quite expensive.

@damo did you cover the RetroTink 2x yet? If not you have to go look at it, the retro RGB fellow interviewed the inventor on YouTube and he's a great guy. Its a serious and cheaper alternative to the ossc!

@Mogster Moogle! I love it kupo!

@bimmy-lee yeah a lot of people turfed out their nes boxes i guess. I still have all of mine 😁 game boy seems to be the worst and gba. I guess a lot of bixes fell apart over the last 25 yrs too. Some of mine are pretty shabby, zelda for instance, i even put some zelda sticjers on them as a kid but holds sentimental value anyway and i would never sell that.

@Anti-Matter thanks so much, i tried this once last year but never got it working, will put a pic up when i get home later.

I would say its more like most collectors just hoard and never play their games. Im guilty of this myself.

I actually had to put up 6 shelves in the corner above my computer desk to house all my games, 30 nes, around 20 mega drive, 4 mega cd, a couple of sms, about 8 psp, about 15 GB/GBC, 10 or so GBA, about 30 ds, about 30 3ds, and about 9 switch, and a handful each of ps1 and 2. Acquired a lot of these (except the older 90s systems) in the past 3 yrs and they cost a lot looking up at them.

Would post a pic but i cant figure out how to.

I own a snes and jp sfc, the system i most want to collect, but for even torn label carts they cost an absolute motza, around $100 each, i just cant collect snes so i use an everdrive or my snes mini modded and it tears me up inside lol

Im also not above buying foreign language eu games with non english manuals but games in english. For ibstance i recently bought a german solatorobo for $26 on DS, complete in box, just german manual and cover. The us or otherwise english version packaging goes for $100. I have also bough loose english carts and the jp boxed version super cheap to avoid being gouged for complete in box games i really want. At least the artwork is official this way, just in japanese. I canr do loose carts! Why must people toss the boxes out, WHY JEEBUS WHYYYYY!

Omg they even put a and b in the right spot for b running and jumping with your thumb in Mario on the nes pad! Finally someone did this right!!!

@ottospooky Xenocrisis and tanglewood are not watermelon games...

I really wanted this game but I do back stuff on kickstarter or anything similar as a rule. Too many simply fail to eventuate.

I imported an ags 101 GBA SP from the us. I will stick to that, until I finish my GBA original shell ags 101 custom.

The price is right on these Chinese knock offs but bad aspect ratio kills it.

@Damo You should probably link to the Mylifeingaming video on youtube which is all about the OSSC somewhere in your article. The OSSC is in many ways better than the framemeister and their video on alternatives to the framemeister is pretty much the world's best summary on the topic. The other essential resource would be this from Fudoh: http://retrogaming.hazard-city.de/ossc.html . Fudoh has probably tested more upscalers and line doublers than anyone else on the planet for the purpose of retro gaming. The final place to look for info on retro consoles and getting the best possible picture is here: http://retrorgb.com/ .

@cleveland124 Modern tvs tend to handle 240p as 480i - because they can't do 240p. I have yet to read about or encounter any modern flat panel tv that can handle a 240p input. Hence the OSSC. I think the ossc is better than the framemeister too, as it has 0 input lag.

The OSSC is better than the framemeister for 240p signals hands down.

I dont really need joust and jungle hunt in 1080p.

I wish atari all the best since they really started it all, but they dont even sound convinced themselves if looking at kickstarter! Another android emulator slash indie box is not required. Qhy dont they just focus on solid ips and software then release it across platforms? Unless that thing has a genuine 240p line doubler inside it is failware waiting to happen.
