Thought that was a N64 on top of a DD drive then realised it was a 3DO

'Steve SI Style', though I think he's gone onto greener pastures & bought a DD?

Still routing scarts, svideo cables, rf cables & power supply cables here. There's in or around twenty consoles including expansions, it's an absolute nightmare. The attic is like a sauna to boot Almost there though, though I did mix up my Snes & N64 rgb cables & now I don't know which is which! Argh!

MrVestek

I just had a nostalgiagasm from those pictures. Nothing to do with the retro consoles but that Sonic poster... just had a blast from the past.

I'm pretty sure I either got that with my original (long gone) MD2 bundle back in the day or my copy of Sonic 2 that came with it.

I had that poster on my wall for years.

Where does one reacquire such a pristine print of said poster?

RGB Scart switchers and cable trunking are your friend in this situation. Might be costly but you're better off trying to stick with one standard (I find) cable for consoles so that you can just daisy chain a few switchers together, RGB Scart being what I use.

Sometimes you'll get lucky and pick up a copy of Sonic which still has the poster inside.

I love it too - also had it on my bedroom wall for years and years. Had a Super Monaco GP one up beside it too. Think that came with my Megadrive.

Poster with this cheap Sonic 2. Looks to be in good condition, just been folder up in the box for years

I had a similar bout of nostaliaism for that poster, so went on a hunt for it. Where did the hunt eventually lead me to? Inideals of course! That's how I discovered the shop & eventually got our boards 20% discount

Yeah I have two Madcatz rgb switchers, I'm thinking I'll only use one though now & leave the scart heads handy. Then I've the gigabit router to fit, network all the modern consoles, & then find a place for the pc!

Actually, Enterdude, now that you're stuck in LCD land, have you consider an SLG? Not sure if you've seen one in person, but it's really a good solution.

Yeah definitely a consideration, expect some noob SLG questions/threads any moment

Nice price on that but where are they getting 25 euro plus shipping for a snes rgb from, dreamer of the year material there.

Myrddin

All done routing all the cables. Jesus I'm getting too old for this lark

Doesn't seem to be live yet for me, the vid title says 10pm though?

Nothing here yet either. I'm waiting for the result back from the Government in the UK about the whole Syria thing - so if you can hold off lads for a few more min that'd be appreciated

Well I just broke the L shaped clip plastic off my Sata drive while changing it with another to get Data of it on my PC.

Lovely job, It's my 2 TB drive with all my games on it as well....lesson learnt to not mess with sh1t after a few jars, it seems they don't like being connected at angles with one eye open:)
Anyone do this before?,I've changed manya drive and this a first time i've managed to do this with my sausage fingers.. glue or soldering Sata wire direct to pins is all I can think off.
Unfortunately I'm crap at soldering

So I left the Gamechasers/Retrounlim stream when it got knocked offline, did it go back online or stay down? Jay seemed pretty cool I must say,

What happened was Harry Yak , who was hosting was knocked off the internet , so the yt stream went dead ..but we were still talking away for a bit.by the time we got it going again he (Jay) had to go. Hes a really cool guy. He mentioned he'd come on again though. Cheers to all the A and R guys that were watching btw!

Retr0 just imploded.

Retr0gamer

I agree with a poster there, he just misspelled Grandia because so much wrong cannot exist in a forum post.

In fairness they seem to care more about spellings than the actual game.
The best comment for me was

"Fook the haters, LoD is generic as all hell but somehow still one of the most charming Japanese RPGs of all time.

It's everything anime and 90s JRPG encapsulated into one nice package.

Played it back in like 2007, still held up just fine."


I say sh1t is sh1t, doesen't matter when you play it, it still plays like sh1t.

Ahhh. I see that Clone Retro is going nicely, seeing how they took out all the imploding rage he gets whenever Dragoon is mentioned. Rest in Piece, Old Retro.

Retr0gamer

I'm all out of LoD rage since the last LoD explosion. My rage batteries are on recharge.

Good. Then you won't mind berating you for preferring CDi Zelda over Dragoon.

I hope everyone is picking up Etrian Odyssey IV this weekend. Apparently it's selling out very quickly.

Got Steamworld Dig on the 3DS yesterday... It's really addictive.

I've been really reluctant to go anywhere near the 3DS store after hearing about Gateway 3DS. Want to keep my firmware version as low as possible.
