Re: 3 Cities, 17 Stores - Our Epic Retro Gaming Hunt Across Japan

Beep! I visited that store and wanted to go back to it later on my visit to Japan, but I couldn't find it again because it's just a stairway!

Retro Camp was decent, they had to NTSC-U stuff.

I'd always recommend finding a flea market on a visit my best deals came from the flea market at the Horse Race Course.

Hoping to get back to Japan in 2025, but worried about the retro gaming scene there, you've confirmed prices, so will have to save a bit more.

Re: New Tool Allows N64 Games To Be Played With Ray Tracing, Uncapped Frame Rates And Ultrawide Support

I've been looking into ways to improve the picture from the N64. I do play NTSC on a CRT TV that supports it.

I've noticed the care some teams went to hide the bad visuals and those who didn't. Mystical Ninja is the game I've wanted to play a crisp version of as it's actually a nice looking game on emulators, but console+TV ruins that.

I'm now thinking of emulating a couple of games and all the cool stuff mentioned here, I'm in. Just need an n64 controller for the PC.

Re: Kickstart, The World's Biggest Amiga Show, Is Back This Year

This sounds great! I recently started collecting Amiga, was a big part of my childhood. But parents sold off all the Amiga stuff.

Just to get some sort of expectation, retailer's will be selling games? I'm looking through the list of retailers and they look like they mostly sell hardware, replacement boards and stuff.
