New Get City, post here when you get something new

It's a great game, two player is super simple.

A 'Boble Boble' (Bobble Bobble I take it) Bubble Bobble bootleg which has been converted to 'Bubble Bobble: Lost Cave'



Might need to work on the JAMMA harness that came with it, maybe just make a ridged one.
Plan - to see about having it being able to run both the original Bubble Bobble (updated ROM set dealing with the protection) and Lost Cave with a flick of a switch.

Just got this in the post today, really looking forward to trying it out.

I've my Snes and Megadrive both sitting on top of monitors, so this'll help alleviate that annoying cable running across monitor screen problem

For anyone interested, yes they do come with the receiver, so its an all in one kind of thing.

How is the d-pad?

o1s1n

After a quick 30 second molestation (!) it feels similar to the official one. Bit tighter but I guess that's just down to my original pad being fairly well worn at this stage.

Not sure if you've used other 8bitdo pads but it seems to be up to the same high quality level. Will report back once I've given it a go with my Megadrive.

Initial impressions are really good anyway, so much so I think I'll pick up a second.

Been burned before on pads having a 'Saturn like d-pad'. That madcatz street fighter 4 pad from years ago was utter ****e and near unuseable yet the media proclaimed it as good as a Saturn pad.

Can these be used on a pc with the receiver?

Touch Fuzzy Get Dizzy

Got some Lazer Steak goodies, not for myself unfortunately :pac:

Id have two of those controllers now if I didn't know the Mega drive Mini was coming out. 8BitDo really do make a quality product.

It's a wireless receiver with a DB9 connection, so would work with anything that would accept a Megadrive pad. Be interesting to try it out on an Amiga.

I don't think it's Bluetooth like some of the other ones though?

Couple of new NES games. Haven't played it yet but Return of the Joker is meant to be one of the more graphically impressive NES games for an 8 bit.

Retr0gamer

Yeah return of the joker is great and stunning looking. The megadrive port looks atrocious in comparison.

Rollergames is a hidden gem of a game as well.

That's a better one

New addition. Technically not retro related but will definitely be used for some retro projects.



It's a Geeetech A10.

Just getting to grips with calibrating it properly at the moment.

MrVestek

I suppose you could call this a new get too. :P

You need to get one of these to go with it;

I already have a Timex Expedition.

It's not the exact model but it looks close enough for me.

I'm not paying €200 for a watch... I don't care what franchise it's from. :P

This is me, trying to figure out what that was from just the picture...

I hadn't a bean either until I googled it, thought it was some kind of Stargate :pac:

I assumed it was a 3d printer ya?

Couple of more arrivals...

McDermotX

Couple of the new Retrobit Sega Saturn controllers.

Not had a chance to use them in-game yet, but initial impressions are a little underwhelming. D-pad a little loose, probably no more than one of my well used original ones, but does seem a little odd. More annoyed with the scuff marks on one of the pads front plastic which is a little disappointing (almost like they've been in use for a few weeks). Slate Grey one looks fine in this regard so guess the black one is going back for a replacement.
Cheap enough I suppose, so you expect some level of compromise, but compared to 8bitdo's recent M30, it feels a level below in quality.

They look the part though to be fair to them (extra long cable a nice touch), and they'll probably be fine in-game with the D-pad, but will wait and see.

The Last Bandit

Couple of recent gets

Memotech MTX500 - very rare and expensive these days, got it for a good price as the power supply was missing so need to fanangle something together for it




Another batch of jammacon boards to be built, changed pcb supplier and decided to try out the black silkscreen. Think it looks pretty good with the gold plating

eddhorse

JammaCon is back , and better than ever. Nice work

Some new and old bits for me in the post yesterday:
