The SF games are brilliant for £20! - That's an excellent buy - nice to have real versions of some games.

I picked up a Mega CD - I'm exploring some old FMV titles I never had back in the day... playing Wirehead - it's actually not bad! - and there was me slagging off the Mega CD to Prowler a few months ago!

Testing out the PS2's I have got right back into some old PS2 titles - playing Half Life - it is still so good!

Thanks Peter, I'm really pleased with the SFII Games

The PS2 was an impulse buy but it's nice to play GT4 again, I still have the endurance races to do lol, anyone up for Nurburgring 24hrs? Anyone actually do that race?

Have fun with the Floppy's

I hope the box survives the trip, 400 of those Disks are damn heavy! 10.5kg

Got one of these

and I've loaded it up plenty of reading material

Still needing to work on this embedding image, try sort it out later

To embed, you'll want: [img]Your URL here[/img], Don.

Using the source address for one of your images in that way gives:

If you should upload your pictures to a hosting site, they'll create all of that for you so that you can simply copy and paste the correct 'img' info.

I hope that helps!

He just forgot that the closing tag should have a / in it

I've fixed that, hope that is okay.

L+R buttons in GBA and SNES games are volume buttons which are tricky to use.

I found firmware update with help in this thread: http://www.mp4nation.net/forum/viewt...p?f=17&t=18916 Pinball games for SNES and GBA are faster and more smooth now but random frameskip is still visible. This update will also change all icons, backgrounds. Build-in games will have chinese titles.

did you get a card with it?
I tried various sandisk (apparently recommended) and none of them would work.

i personally recommend Transcend 133x cards as they seem to work fine

Edit: welcome to EAB

Dreedo · 25 September 2011, 21:23

2 packs of Fig Rolls from Scarborough Car Boot for £1! Bargain!

Got the 256 mb card with it, just waiting for a card reader for the pc now as I've never needed one before.

I didnt buy it but at my local bootfair yesterday someone was selling an Amiga A500 for £2 (it was originally £5 but this was near end of day so they had reduced it) I was very tempted but it was very yellowed and I have no space at home to set it up in the foreseable future

Retro1234 · 28 September 2011, 13:28

You'll need 2 of them. It's a pretty easy thing to wire up (search hardware forum & there'll be a few threads)

Bought a 1GB Radeon 6850 for my brothers PC... It's to replace his old 640mb XFX Geforce 8800GTS. The Radeon 6850 is an overclocked version branded by a company called 'Club-3D' which as far as i can tell is part of the same company who supply cards to PowerColor and VTX.
