If it was the CD drive I could replace that like I did with the CDi but it's a video problem, it just does not output any video which is a much bigger and more complicated problem. I'll give him a bit longer to get back to me.

12.99 for something that'll engage you for 12.99 minutes..... more gameplay in Battlefield 3!
At least you can trade it in for €8 or something in Gamestop on Monday!

He never says that about anything I bought...
Oh no...
But someone buys a golf game and....
I just don't think you love me anymore!!!
Actually, I had that game on the PS and PSP, good fun and worth the money.
Hey, sure I bought Fire Warrior, what do I know!

..not as illustrious as the PC engine club , or the Arcade Cab club , hell! even the 3d0 club (..but waay better than the CDI club) , I'm in the Phillips Videopac club
nabbed this today , promised most of the games to sparks43 (sadly no boulderdash), as I'm more of a VCS man myself and they'll get better use! .
I'd never realised it was a rebadged Magnavox Odyssey² though..0 -

You might save a few euro on a AV composite cable but that few euro could have gotten you a huge increase in graphical fidelity on every N64 game you will play. AV composite, particularly on the N64 looks terrible. It will be the best thing you will buy for your N64.
Also the only place that makes PAL N64 s-video cables is consolegoods so you will have to buy it there, but as I said, if you are going to stick with a PAL console it will be the best purchase you will make.
Finally got around to hooking up the N64 last night with that horrible AV cable I got with it. The picture is horrible on the flat screen with it. Incredibly grainy and horrible presumably because its a flat screen telly and not one of the old box type.
Anyway I just emailed the guy from consolegoods to get the S-Video cable. Its just under 10pounds sterling but looking at the incredibly poor picture quality last night I havent got a choice so I hope this works and its not the console being kinda broken or something else.
Any idea on how quick the turn around time is with the guy from consolegoods?? I just emailed him a minute ago with my order, how I want to pay and the postal address. So I assume he comes back to me and then when my payment clears he sends it. Hope I wont be waiting a week or two.
On the positive side even with the horrible horrible picture I was able to play a bit of Lylat Wars. Seriously why did they not make more of these games. It was a masterpiece.
And played a game of ISS 64. I used to love this game. Turned it off cause the quality was so bad. But hearing the commentary took me back. goal goal GOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!

Never seen a game so accurately summed up in one picture
Some of the music is good imo, like Circus Park and Digital Circuit and the other grunge-y stuff. That's it really. Always got stuck on some ARK level where you'd to take out 35 artificial Chaos, could only ever get 34
Damn! Not here!0 -

Only an N64 could make its owner feel the display is that bad that it could be broken
Seriously though, its both a combination of using AV with a flatscreen tv. The s-video should really improve things, but after that the only improvement will be to pick up a cheap or free crt tv & use it with that. Even an RGB modded N64 won't be at its full potential on a flatscreen.
You can of course buy a chain of scalers & scanline generators...but save yourself the headache & cost, if you have the room, pick up a crt. Anything between 21 & 25" should be sweet, 4:3 of course.0 -

Just dont have room at the minute for a CRT (was trying to think of that earlier and couldnt hence calling it a box). If and when I do have room I'll pick up something around the size your talking.
I hope your right about the improvement though.
Any idea of how long that site takes?0 -

Slightly related football question. I got a football game (wasn't Fifa or anything like that. A cheapy title, I'd imagine) waaaaay back when I got my first Playstation. I believe it was all country teams are opposed to clubs. The only thing I can really remember is the commentator shouting "It's a rocket!!" when you gave the ball a good hard boot. Any idea what it was? I was never a football head, but this one came with the console, so I played quite a bit of it.0 -

Did you not find the Live release a little...off?
I'm not sure if it's the visual update, but I'm not fond of it at all.
It's a bit too clean and the blur effect that gives everything a massive white halo outline is beyond awful but once you turn that off it plays a lot better. Also I don't have my saturn set up so it will have to do

OT new get, a puppy. Still haven't decided on a name, I want to name him Enzo or Kipper, mam wants to name him Spot and Dad wants to name him Jack. Retr0 wants Snarf :rolleyes:, he can name the dog when he's cleaning up after him.
