Had one of those back in the day, great card at the timeGot a geforce 2 GTS inbound for £10! Not tested but looks genuinely not tested and hopeful it works!

My retro activity is spending actual real money on the PS Vita store (via PS Wallet, via a gift card I had to use to get wallet funds) to buy God of War Chains of Olympus, LocoRoco 2 and Bastion.

Geforce 2 GTS arrived, looks good condition other than the clock chip has been knocked off (Could see that in the seller pic too now that I look back.), will salvage one from another card and see if it is a bargain or not!

Altec Lansing speakers upgraded to a set of Ruark MK2. I love my retro speakers, only it was recently my birthday. The Ruark's were purchased with some trepidation as they are expensive. They are awesome and work really well.
Managed to source a wrist wrest for the Microsoft Internet keyboard! Mine was an OEM which never came with one! Also swapped out IntelliMouse to my favourite mouse of all time; a Logitech G400.
Modern XP system as of today, the floppy drive is now relocated to my desk.
After much game testing, I started to revisit the world of sound, and Midi, it's been five years since I last dabbled with retro systems so much relearning!

I've been watching Batocera guides - I'm thinking of setting up a dedicated ssd for my laptop as I can pickup a San disk nvme caddy ssd relatively cheaply now. Arcade punks have quite a few pre done images.
If anyone has been through this process any tips would be appreciated. I plan to get a 2tb drive so I have plenty of space to add any games I want that are not on the 1 terabyte image. My laptop is an 8 core/16 thread ryzen 8 with a 4070 (mobile version) so performance should be good

It's been ages since I've posted. I moved house back in July this year. And slowly, I've been moving bits in and setting up. Pictures will follow soon.
In my journeys, I had a Windows 98 machine with a SB Audigy Internal card. I followed Phil's Computing Lab guide to also set this card up for MS Dos gaming; drivers that run when you restart the PC in MS Dos mode.
The next thing I did for a recent party was network Sega Rally. This works really well and was a hit. Also on the same setup was network ROTT. The young lads were set up with 'tag'. But when I showed they could blast eachother with lead, they enjoyed that better.
Other titles that I've played have been Daytona USA, Microsoft Train Simulator, Power Goo.
I've then got the PS2 and SNES set up.
And then I've got my flight sim stuff back up too.
On a work team building day, the Wii made an appearance for House Of The Dead 2 and Darts.
Retro life is good.

We moved back in September - into a much larger house - but due to a different configuration of rooms and changes in priorities (family>man stuff), I am struggling to find space for all my retro gaming gear.
By definition I am now just a collector as I get precious little time to actually play any games. I’ve taken the hard decision to slim my collection down, so I can concentrate on a smaller selection and actually manage to fit it into the available space.
Not sure what’s going to get cut yet, I have a few duplicates so I guess I’ll start there. My old PCs take up a good deal of space, so that’s another consideration. Finding it quite hard as I can make a case to keep everything

Quite excited to get this cupboard all decked out with shelves and whatnot.
It will be almost solely for storing my retro stuff, but will also be a server/network cupboard and probably a bit of general storage too.

My retro haul arrived this month! Getting the Master System Classic version of Master of Darkness and Castlevania was a bonus!

Yep!
First release ( Guy is an utter *** too..Real nasty piece of work in the retro community). So I didn't buy it when it first came out, not realizing how rare it had become.
Second release was an unofficial Hit Squad.

What happened there?I think so, but it was around 10 years ago or more now so could be someone else...
Couple of years ago he started calling out some of the 'retro' YouTubers for their awful stuff. Whole retro community on social media seems a bit iffy at times.
