Retro console and games thread

Jaymond: Not all games will work with the stock 2mb you get with the A1200. However you can install ClassicWB Lite and this will work with solve this problem.

There is a work around if you don't want to install ClassicWB which you can see in the above youtube vid.

Thanks Lakitu.

I noticed there are other variants of these such as the HxC which uses SD cards? Why not use these out of interest?

just this one here http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/110853741750?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

Could be a dodgy cable, mine broke after a few months of having it with a similar issue. I had a sound etc but no picture, replaced the cable and it was fine.

I also have a nice A1200 with Blizzard A1200 MK IV 030 Accelerator with 64mb memory, 4GB Compact Flash and 16" LCD connected via an AmigaKit RGB lead (compatible with interlaced modes).

I replaced all the caps with a kit I bought off Amibay, bought a brand new keyboard from AmigaKit and gave the case a really good clean but it still as a slight yellow tinge to it. I'm always keeping my eye out for a perfect white case at a reasonable price.

I've also bought a key from the guy who made WHDload and have 1000's of games and demo's running off the CF.

Folks interested in the Amiga should visit - English Amiga Board - Amibay - AmigaKit - ClassicWB - WHDload - lemmonamiga.

This is a link to my thread on eab that might help others setting up a CF for use on a real Amiga

I've never heard of it either... Just looked it up on youtube and it doesn't look that bad. At a quick glance it looks like Starfox but with humans not animals.
For 50p I wouldn't complain lol


Did you ever get round to playing Psychic Force?

 

[ONESHOTKILL]

nah not yet,my ps1 i got is all packaged up in mint condition so dont fancy opening it all to play lol

After collecting a fair few consoles and games I'm mulling over selling many of them (AES, MD, SNES etc) and building a mame/console emulator cab instead - crazy I know!

Although I reached a point when I began to wonder what exactly I was really collecting them for, considering I barely played any of them (if ever, in some cases).
Perhaps some of that's due to not having a dedicated gaming room, so having the hassle to set them up each time; the 'real thing' novelty starts to wear thin, at least for me.

Think I'd prefer building an arcade setup for that experience instead and simply emulating it.

Tempted not to sell the Jap Saturn and shmups though I must admit.

 

[Fonz-Valo]

Surely the AES alone requires an entire games room due to the size of the cartridges lol

The thought of selling my collections has gone through my head a lot but I just can't do it as I have far too many good memories associated with the systems in question.

The idea of a decent hyperspin based arcade cabinet does sound like a good idea though and something i'm definitely going to look into in the future.....

 

[Cavallino]

Well if are going to sell up Raoh, make sure you make a relevant thread in MM and let me know

Got an original Amiga A1000 brochure/press release in loft as I went to the launch when I worked for a computer shop!

Gave my Atari ST 1040 away sadly.

Will do, I'd rather see it all go to a good home.

After getting a SNES and N64 cheap on the forums I bought a few games dirt cheap... Except I bought a lot of them, and a lot of cheap games add up to a big cost

Still, next project is replacing the oscillator in my Dirt Trax FX SNES cart and overclocking the Super FX chip so the game isn't as choppy

Which oscillator would this be by anychance?

 

[Raoh]

I just realised the MM requires 1000 posts to use doesn't it? I don't think I'll be doing any retro deals on there any time soon then , lol, which is a shame.

 

[malachi]

My best mate brought these to my house earlier today. Said I might aswell have it as he knows I collect them and it was in his loft......Nice of him

In good nick too, all manuals etc, fully boxed.

 

[JoeBoi]

Damn must find my self new friends!

 

[phill9800]

It's alright for some!! They are in very good condition!!

 

[malachi]

........yeah still waiting for someone to give me a Amiga A1200. But hey, I'm not that lucky.

 

[phill9800]

I've one here... 1230 @ 50Mhz + 8Mb, 4Gb HD, 2 external floppy drives... Awesome bit of kit!! I think they are fairly cheap now unless you start trying to get upgrades in them etc.. Saw an accelerator card recently like I used to own, £440!!
