Well after a **** load of research and asking a lot of questions (annoying) to people on here I've finally gotten my custom bartop arcade

Came with 8 thousand games from Arcademania in the UK and I'm beyond happy with it

If you don't mind, how much did you pay for it?
Thanks

Roughly around 500 with delivery etc

That's a nice bartop, my only change would be a 4:3 screen rather than 16:9
What Frontend is it running?

Picked up an 8Bitdo receiver for my Snes to see how they hold up, really impressed! Had a NES30 sitting there for a couple of years gathering dust so nice to finally see it get a bit of use.

Just ordered a SFC30 to go along with it now too. So far I can't say I've noticed any lag.

Just missed a SFC30 on Adverts, went for €20.
They are cracking controllers alright, and they work with the Switch too!

Aye they're brilliant, the SFC30 feels so right for Shovel Knight.

Oooh any idea if it works with the WiiU? I didn't even consider using it with anything other than the an actual snes!

Would love to give Shovel Knight a go with it.

While the current firmware for the 8bitdo series supports Windows, Android, Mac, Steam and Switch, the previous firmware in compatible with Wii/WiiU and RetroPi, instead of Switch.
This video covers how to upgrade/downgrade the controller firmware to suit your needs

Sonic Mania arrived this morning, thanks to Atavan for helping with my order, I'd a bit of a hiccup. I'll be moving it around just had it like this for photos. Can't play it yet so I'll just enjoy the figure for now.

Definitely have my eye on a few disk games for the Twin.
Just trying to stop buying stuff on PSN! It's getting as bad as Steam!

Instead of offering a simple picture I decided to do a video of my latest get!

Let me know what you guys think!

This bad boy arrived today. I'll probably never wear it but what can you do:D

I'm sad to let you all down but... I bought another repro for my Megadrive, this time Panorama Cotton
In my defence I wasn't going to be spending €500+

There's a version of that on neo get pocket colour that I'd love to pick up but again it goes for crazy money!

Damn, I have to stay away from retro game stuff on Youtube, it just leads me down a rabbit hole to purchases...
After watching this

I now have Arkanoid and the paddle controller on the way from Germany.

And I should be picking up a weird Megadrive stick

and a mental N64 arcade stick

tomorrow in Drogheda.

And I wonder why I can't move in my gamesroom any more!

CiDeRmAn

Picked them up just now.
Mad yokes Ted, mad!

The N64 stick is interesting as all heck, and the MD one is a straight repurpose of a NES stick, both quite heavy though, which is a great thing.

edit: The packaging for the MD stick is for both models, NES and MD, with just a little sign on the box that it's a MD stick.
It's surprisingly heavy as well, and has a pair of unused buttons that, the box assures me, are for future features, presumable from some other timeline.
But it works nicely, though the stick isn't clicky and all micro-switchy.

The pair cost me €30 and the petrol to Drogheda, so not too bad for a Friday morning!

Donation weekend.
Got a call from friends, edelry couple, in Kinvara who were moving and sai they had a "few of those playstation games" i'd be welcome to before they toss them in the skip ... ...




The lady is from the US which explains the PS1 imports... there was a stack on ps2 games and they said they'll look for the "nintendo and sega tapes" as they continue boxing stuff for their move out

Been a while since ive found something worth showing.

Raiden Project is just stunning, Treasures from the Deep... I remember that from back in the day....

Picked up a snes30 this evening - really impressed! Feels exactly like a brand new snes controller. The build quality is excellent. Not noticing any lag whatsoever.

I was looking at a tear down someone did and compared it to a real snes pad, the parts are pretty much identical.



Also picked up a little unit to house my current 'mini' gaming station. Limited at the moment to the consoles I play the most.



And last but not least, a game which (for some unknown reason) has dodged my collection for years, Super PunchOut

Just added this to my collection.....

Guy said that it showed just a green screen on boot. Connected to my tv, came up displaying supervisor mode, rebooted with the delete key held and the system is fully working....have to remove the battery...also has the 2MB upgraged memory.

Nice 3DO get!!

CiDeRmAn

so, Arkanoid for the Famicom arrived, no paddle controller, not happy.
I've contacted the seller but it seems the ad itself has changed to reflect the cart only nature of the item.
It was €20, and the image on the ad was for the item with the controller.

Feck, feck, feck....

o1s1n

Can you change the content of an ebay ad after it has already sold? That's a bit dodgy if so!

Either way, I'd be straight to the ebay dispute centre if I were you.

L1m1tless

You can change the ad after a sale if there are more items for sale, however the original ad you purchased from should still be viewable.

Just back from a couple of weeks in Japan. Didn't really go over looking for anything in particular but happy to get the Neo Geo CD for a good price and a very minty copy of Super Star Wars (one of my favourite games):
