Retro console and games thread

Great collection of games there!

How you are playing them? Converter, modded console or an actual NTSC console?

I use an RGB modded US Snes Mini, proper 60hz stuff here

So after the delights of moving home I'm now in the process of setting up my consoles properly!

The game in the picture is Thunderforce 3 running on an everdrive MD I recently acquired. Looks lovely on the 42" using an RGB scart:

My next task is to (permanently) wire up the MVS once I have found a box for it to live in.

That set up looks really cozy! Dohn't you get bad glare from the window on the left though?

 

[Pman85]

Strangely there isnt as much glare as the picture is making out. However you are right, I need to change the blind from a lime green one (came with the house) to a blackout..

Last nights eBay win - very happy with this, it's mint and I've never played a SNES before. I also have an RGB Scart on the way for my old SONY crt.

Saturday also saw me buy a mint MKI Mega Drive with two pads, Altered Beast, Cool Spot and Aladdin. I have Sonic 1 and Ecco on the way too.

Congrats on the SNES!
Got any games lined up?

So last night I attempted the 60hz mod on my pal mega drive 2.

Unfortunately it wasn't totally successful. The mod has worked, the picture displayed is definitely 60hz, no borders and a slight speed increase, but whenever I push any button on the controller, the screen goes crazy. If I don't push any buttons, its stable.

To rule out my LCD TV, I hooked up the RGB lines to my Gonbes 8220 upscaler but that didn't make a difference either. I'm wondering if 60hz draws more current or something and my power supply is on its last legs.

Anyway I think I'll just end up buying an NTSC console.. unless anyone here as experience with this mod.

It's something i've wanted to do to mine but never gotten around to. Are you sure you haven't shorted anything without realising (other than that i've no idea).

 

[barmyllama]

Got a couple of spare consoles, a MK1 Mega Drive and an original Playstation up for sale in the MM if anyone's interested.

Oh good morning Amstrad CPC 464, I haven't seen you since I was 6 years old!

[barmyllama]

Nice.

Bookmarked that site too.

 

[Neil79]

Awesome, so much nostalgia with the Amstrad CPC and it's all working

Only picked up Sega Megadrive collection on PS2 over the last couple of weeks.

Though I was encouraged to see a couple of Master System and Megadrive games at the car boot on Sunday. Nothing worth buying, but not seen anything that old in previous visits.

Picked this little bundle up tonight for £35 not a bad deal considering some of the games..

 

[Buffman]

Worth way more than 35quid!

 

[barmyllama]

Bargain.

The three Mario games are worth more than £35.
