Speaking of music, My Limited edition Streets Of Rage 2 OST Double LP turned up from Data Discs. It's a lovely set with a Gatefold sleeve and 2 Prints. They are releasing Outrun soon which i will be pre-ordering!

Very nice.

I wa temped myself to preorder it, but the lack of a turntable meant I wouldn't be able to play it. I did look on Guntree and Shpock for an old HiFi, but prices were too high for me.

Barmy I got the Japanese version of those PS analogue pad which had the vibration motors.

Did the Japanese pads always have the concave thumb sticks as standard then?

A bit off topic but I wonder if anyone here would be able to answer a import related question. I'd like to buy Resident Evil HD Revival Selection which is Japanse. I know it'll work on my U.K/Eu PS3 but does anyone know if the text/voices will be in English or Japanese?

Usually Japanese Biohazard games have English voices in the cut scenes and Japanese text in game.

Would there be any way of changing the text to English? Not bothered about the subtitles, just item descriptions and diary entries etc..

According to the US river site the menus and in game text are in Japanese.

Cheers mate. Will leave it and pray that Capcom eventually release Code Veronica X on the PC/PS4.

Are any of the 3rd party/replica 6-button mega drive controllers any good?

Barmy I had a look in the loft and couldn't find my old Playstation stuff, I think I might have put them somewhere else. I will have a dig around but I did find my Jogcon controller.

Never seen one of those before. Just read it was designed for Ridge Racer 4 and was actually force feedback.

I remember the NegCon that Namco released but I'd probably moved on from the original PlayStation by the time the JogCon was out.

Bought these reproduction cases from http://replacement-game-cases.co.uk/

Basically £6 each delivered including a UGC.

The print quality is as good as you're going to get I suppose. I'm guessing they use the best available scans from around the web, which is why the blues are slightly different shades on each cover. There's also the fact that the UGC is slightly taller than an original Sega case, so the cover might need a slight trim if you wanted to move it into an original Sega case.

I can confirm these third-party ones are excellent, I bought two recently and they are top notch!

Nice, I have been thinking of one of those idea quad boxes for my retro consoles as well. My TV unit is rubbish for top loading CD or cartridge consoles as there isn't enough height. Did you spray the backing MDF black yourself or did it come pre painted?

Thanks
