Quick question - will an S video cable give better quality than a composite for my Ps2 and dreamcast? This will be going into a capture card where they are the only options I have (except RF!)

yeah S-Video gives a nicer picture, but do remember it doesn't carry audio.
A few recent pickups, finally a nice boxed contra that was a decent price.
I got the Hyperkin Cadet new for only £5.00, not a bad controller but I decided swap out the d-pad with a red one.
Looking forward to trying the new Unibios out over the weekend.

Does anyone have any major recommendations for the console? Me and the misses sat down and enjoyed athlete kings Monday night and a fair bit of bust a move 3, later in the week there is Sega Rally to play

My mate has that, I've never played it so I think it has to be the next thing to find!

Argos also taking pre orders for Nintendo Classic Mini.
the NES classic mini is in stock at the official Nintendo store
the extra controller needs to be pre-ordered at the moment - cheapest option (by a whole 1p!!!) is to select the bundle with the Nintendo power adapter and pre-order the second controller separately

well my NES classic still hasn't arrived, Nintendo keeps sending apology e-mails for not dispatching it yet, you'd have thought maybe they could sort out supply and distribution of these things by now...
that would be cool, the thing that puts me off retro consoles is the whole PAL/NSTC thingie... what I quite like about the official "mini" versions is that you do avoid that issue and get to play the non-crippled version of games that American and Japanese consumers got to enjoy back in the day

Added to my growing collection.
Such a great game, do you have the 3D controller for the full experience?

Not yet, but that's in planning.
