Got it from a seller on eBay called schwenj (he's based in California, so post takes a while). Was pricey for what it is, especially with the import charges you pay on eBay for stuff from the US (listed below).
Still, worth it in my mind
Subtotal:
US $184.00
Postage & packaging:
US $15.78
Import charges:
US $46.70
Total:
US $246.48
Will give it a look now, because it looks to be fantastic.
God that orange one he has looks fantastic.0 -

Yeah, and once you drop the PocketNES and Goomba emulators in the main sys folder you can run NES/Famicom, Gameboy and Gameboy Color roms straight from the Everdrive, no need to load the emulators separately. So a pretty sweet nintendo setup for on the go.0 -

Sorry for the pic heavy post, but thought some peeps here would like to see the new AVS that was released a little while ago.
Works perfectly with Everdrives as well as the 8bitDO retro receiver and all their wireless pads (and any bluetooth pad inc new Xbox One S controller).
It's hooked up to my 4K TV at the moment and is quite decent, the 720p scales very well. It has a good few options to tweak the scanlines and display and would suit most people.
It's not really aimed at users like us who have real hardware, but it's a nice thing and I'm glad I got it (despite the 45 euro I had to hand over to the postman to get it).
Edit:
Also, it can get its power from a USB port on the TV so no need to plug in to a socket. Most TV's in the last few years have a USB port of some sort on them.

I managed to hit up all of the book-off stores in Northern Tokyo this evening and this is the lot from my first day game chasing.
I also picked up 3 common super famicom games in super potato in Ikebukuro however I wasn't really impressed with the place. Prices very similar to ebay on most things and I nearly killed myself trying to browse in their tiny and I mean tiny store.
One thing that did catch my eye and I may still go back for is a boxed Hanshin Tigers Gamecube.
Hopefully going to hit some of the further afield Hard off stores in the coming days.
I should add for anyone interested that the total lot in the pic above came to 13900 yen or about 123 euro.0 -

This is what got me hit with 47 euro customs this morning.
A new custom scart switch and one of my older ones back from repair.
The one on the left is the newer v3.4 switch and the one on the right is an older v3.0.
These things are very nice indeed, the Rolls-Royce of scart switches in my opinion.

A few new games for the Atari 65XE,
Food Fight, Desert Falcon and Flight Simulator II, for €16 including postage, from an Adverts seller.
Pretty pleased, and they came in a golden envelope... just to increase the sense of wonder and amazement at the contents!

Day 2 gets
A lot of commons for 100 yen a pop that I found in my first hard off. It was a bloody long trip and they only had a soso selection.
But later that day I went to nakano Broadway searching for some babymetal merch and found a small game store on the 4th floor. I managed to pick up Seaman and Panzer Dragoon for 15 euro each which I was quite pleased with.

Day 3 gets
Hit Akihabira today for the first time. Heading back for more tommorrow, think I will have to make a few runs to get some of the larger items I want.
And why yes that is a gamecube lan adapter, which makes me 50% closer to the 8 player double dash that I have always dreamed of.

Was that the one displaying the rainbow colours? I quite liked that!!!Same with my Atari Super Pong machine, it worked on none of my displays, flat screen or CRT, bar one which had weird interference. Only when I got a proper old school B&W telly did it work perfectly.Atavan-Halen wrote: »Are you now going to change your name to Steve X5? :pac:

Having the trip of a lifetime, cheers.
And if the orange GC makes you jelly then look away now.
One of my dream gets, a CIB Hanshin Tigers GC. A bit sun damaged but with a little love can be restored to its former glory.
Also finished off my original xbox collection with my most expensive purchase for the system.

And one more for good messure.
Had to rebuy pilotwings as my pal copy went missing
But picked up a few nice ones, Panzer dragoon 2, Castlevania:SOTN and Joe and Mac 3. I didn't even realise that a sequel to coolspot existed. I am sure it's terrible but I have such fond memories of the original I simply had to get it.

I'd say Mega Turrican is the most advanced Megadrive game. Full sprite scaling and rotation (something the snes can't do, it can only scale and rotate a background layer and definitely something the megadrive should not be doing), transparencies and other fancy effects. RIP Factor 5 and screw Sony/Lair/Dualshock 3 for killing them.
Just read up about it. Sprite scaling and rotation is too processor intensive for the megadrive (see the end of Super Fantasy Zone and Thunderforce 3 which use true sprite scaling and the game slows to less than 5 FPS).
So what they did was carry out the rotation before the level loads and save each rotation into ram as an animation and play it back. Very clever I have to say.#
Apparently this was used a lot in the amiga demo scene, where most of Factor 5 came from.
