Oh Jaysus. Time for an intervention.

Resistance 3 was an enjoyable enough romp, haven't tried Killzone 3 but I assume its similar to Killzone 2 with some extra brown thrown in.

I must say, I found the Resistance series to be the bigger brown-fest, rather than Killzone, and speaking of which, Killzone 2 and 3 are veritable works of genius compared to the fetid pile of stinking pus that was the first title in the Killzone franchise.

Yo dawg I herd you like emulation...

The last time I did something like that was running the Windows version of Kega on Linux. Worked surprisingly well.

Luckly there is a Linux version of Kega Fusion for those interested

A custom universal kick harness solution for my Atomiswave courtesy of FrancoB.

This cable taps buttons 4 and 5 from the jamma harness via a pass through and button 6 from a cab specific cable.



Then individual kick harnesses connect to the above. One per kick harness type.
These are a few cables for my mk boards.

That FrancoB does some awesome work, always top quality.

Yup. Pricey but you know what you're getting and completely bespoke.

After my disappointment at being sniped for Tatsunoko vs Capcom with the stick, I said feck it and bought the stand alone game this morning for €12 posted and also got a crappy arcade stick by Logic 3 for less than a tenner posted, gods bless parcel motel!
I figure I'll pick up the official Wii stick somewhere down the road.
I'm sure Gamestop have one lying around, somewhere!

Was that from a seller called sammilliemeglan? If so, apologies for the snipe...!

Ended up getting a few bits off him for cheaper postage... Really regret not getting 2 of the sticks when they were being flogged off for 20 quid new (iirc) on zavvi.

Doesn't seem to bad when it's a local who got it!
I wonder if the game will be worth something later, now that Nintendo won't be able to publish any more, presumably that includes a launch via WiiU e-shop.

Hopefully, it's been getting slightly pricier since that announcement it couldn't be reprinted anyway...

Seems to be the only decent fighter of note on the wii also!

The stick is nice, connects to the WiiU as well, works well with Tekken apparently.

Just FYI, I may need to break into your house to steal that Chrono Trigger. It's one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen in this thread!!! :eek:

Play through it asap!!!!

Secret of Mana, spent many hours float by playing this, the music is just great.

I have some of them already but I couldn't not buy them at that money. Must put up the doubles for trade and find a victim for Fifa;)

Picked up this earlier. Every home needs a pong clone

Got this in a charity shop in bray. Brand new sealed GBA wireless adaptor. Already have a couple of them so I'll probably leave it sealed and then retire off it in 10 years.

More cool stuff I have to buy!
Well, certainly Chronotrigger anyways.
Never played it but infrequently via emulation, going to have to remedy that.
