What's the advantage of the ARM3, apart from the cache and potential higher clock?

I bought some new games for my PC Engine

[paul2010]

My wireless 6-button Mega Drive joypads and Infra-red receiver arrived this morning.

They cost me £50, which I thought was a good price for a wireless set.

I was surprised that they're the size of the official wired 3-button pads and not as small as the official wired 6-button pad I've got.

They fit nicely in the hand and are light to hold.

Well I guess I could join in here as well
I bought an Amiga 600 for £45 together with 20 games, 10 in original boxes.. First Amiga in almost 20 years now, amazing

Also, fitzsteve, what is that? :O Never seen any like it before.

Great purchase, the A600 is quickly becoming the Amiga of the moment

Have fun with it.

These are HuCards for my Japanese CoreGrafx/PC Engine:



Its a great little machine and plays a lot of old skool games near Arcade perfect
Really love this little fella.

[toffo]

Oh that looks awesome! And the cards looks like they are newly produced?

Well yeah so I read somewhere, but A600 has always been the Amiga for me
Too bad I couldn't get an HD version, but I'll convert mine

[LuMan]

Hey Steve. Cracking collection of games you got there

Is the Operation Wolf light-gun or mouse/joystick driven?

BTW - Jealous about your Gradius cart

...but not as jealous as your Radiant Silvergun

Nope, these are old skool from the 16bit era, I think they came out just before the Megadrive

Works perfectly. Using even an older ball style PS/2 mouse works better than my commodore mouse. Time to track down a suitable looking optical mouse. Maybe even a wireless one!

This one?

Where did you buy it (assembled)? @ which price?

Just bought Lethal Enforcer for the Mega CD along with the light gun. Only to find my CRT tv is too "flat" for it to work properly. Which is gutting to say the least. However Keios Flying Squadron and Popful Mail work fine

I suppose your CRT is 100 Hz. Those light guns are designed to work with 50 Hz TVs.
Same problem with the Dreamcast and "The house of the dead"...

Dunno. its a sony trinitron and i had it given. so not sure of specs. So its possible.
