I'm keeping my eye on n200 mini pc prices. I've got a feeling that 3.7ghz quad should be enough for ps2/gc games in batocera.
Love the build! I need to do one myself, my GG definitely needs a full recap though, the audio has failed again and the screen has got red lines on it.
I still standby the Master System version of Sonic 1 being the better oneDug out the trusty Master System for a nostalgia trip. Been in the box for about 16 years, still working fine!

It definitely is trickier, I do like how the developer added little warning signs on some ledges to compensate for the view.It's faster than the PAL MS version I'm used to and has a smaller viewport. It's tricky![]()
I got loaned a BBC B over the weekend, had been in my friend's loft for the last 25 odd years. I was after a nostalgia trip as I reckon it was just over 40 years ago I got my BBC while doing the final year of my degree. Sadly the nostalgia trip was all too short lived when the dreaded 'magic' smoke started to pore out of the PSU. Looks easy enough to get a capacitor kit and to do a recapping so that's the next step.

I took down a brand new in box 23 year old CRT monitor from my loft, unpacked it and tested it - fully working!
23 years ago I bought a new Dell PC bundle, including a 17 inch monitor. Sold by Dell, but it's a Samtron (Samsung) 75E. In the weeks it took to arrive from the time of ordering I received a bonus from work so I decided to upgrade and bought a 21" Iiyama Vision Master Pro. On arrival, the Samsung monitor was unpacked to test that it was working, then packed away to be kept as a backup. It's stayed in my loft until today, when I had to move it to get something from behind the box. I forgot how heavy these things were - I'm not sure I'll be able to lift it back up![]()
Ouch! At my age now I’d need a coffee break after each oneTry lifting 30x 27” CRTs. I remember taking a delivery of them for classrooms. They were being installed in media suits that taught digital photography.
