After a bit of advice really. I have a raspberry pi3 with retro pi installed. I've used it a handful of times and have decided to sell so want to put it on MM. I'd imagine that's allowed? Or would I be best selling it as a raspberry pi 3 with nothing on it? Not trying to make money based on what's on it just want to move the unit on really.they are great, I just don't really need it after all

just keep the memory card
stick it in the MM
search the MM for Raspberry Pi to see what the others were selling for
I bought mine from the MM
 
Had to put my arcade cab build on hold due to a new kitchen requirement :(

Still have art, trim, lighting and new monitor to finish.

At least I can still play games on it :D

Had a great we go at Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 on the Dreamcast last night, lovely VGA action!

Was amazing how quick the controls came back to me on the Dreamcast considering I played THPS3 on the PS2 the other night and just couldn't get in to the swing of it!

I'm playing through THPS1 on vga drramcast at the moment, I've completed the career mode for about 4 of the skaters hoping that if I do all of them there is some pay off at the end! Can get all the tapes in one run for the earlier levels!

Sounds like you are a better player than I am!

I'm slowly making progress through on one character, Tony Hawk, and once I get through, that will be me done!

On the High School level now, trying to remember where hidden areas are, i'm sure one of the wallride bells is in there!

THPS1 only has five goals per level (High score, SKATE, Unique Goal, Pro Score, Secret Tape) so it's not so hard!

THP2 is a much more accomplished game with the animation, reactive levels with secret areas... For the school level, I think you need to grind the rail around the right side of the school (underneath the flags) next to the courtyard to unlock the gym. This is probably one of the hardest secret areas! If you can clear the roof gap where those flags are you can get into the second secret area, which is needed to get all the cash and therefore 100% the level.
 
I am beginning to get curious about 80s computing like the Amiga 500 and competitors but I don't know much about them. What would be a cheap starting point for a 16 bit machine? Do they support VGA video output? Or would I need to get an CRT TV / monitor?

Amiga 1200 with scart to a CRT TV. Im sure it does VGA but haven't used it on mine.
 
I got one of those scart hdmi metal boxes for my megadrive, as the image was cropped to one side on my tv. I was fairly impressed for the price! I had my EA Hockey fix anyway :D
 
It's just gcvideo in a plug and play version.

It was already open source and available for anyone who wanted to mass produce to do so. https://github.com/ikorb/gcvideo. That's just the first plug and play version. Badassconsoles has been selling the internal boards for a while now http://www.badassconsoles.com/gcvideo-1/, internal versions are a little more configuarable and support the gc without the digial video (although it's a harder install iirc).
 
Neat. Am I right in thinking as Pal games don't actually support the higher definition like the UTSC region does, that this would sort of be pointless? Pretty sure Barmy was telling me something like this in regards to the component cables
