All I asked was what for and you didn't answer it. But "Because I want it" is enough mate. Chill.

adolescent sounds like the right name dude, we only wonder why you need so much ram, Ive got 6gig in my system but running a 32bit os at moment so at least 2.5gig of it is`t been used, truth is I upgraded to 4gig(2x2gig) only to find timeings where not as fast as I wanted so put my original 2gig back in (2x1gig) aswell so I don`` lose the chips and I will run a 64bit os soon as I copy all my stuff over, but even then I dought I`ll need 6gig

as a side note been running win7 without virtual mem for 3 to 4 weeks now with no notable speed difference, now thats enough OTT from me

Received a second Saturn Multi-tap to go with the one I bought from BrooksterMax. £16 inc delivery for a NOS Bomberman multi-tap, boxed, never opened. I'm all set for 10-player Bomberman (Dynablaster) at Retrovision in February.

I got it from an online Retrogames shop that is new to me. It is a UK based Jap importer.

The prices are spot on MUCH MUCH lower than eBay for just about everything and although a lot of items say "on back order" email them and they can get all of them within 3 weeks.

Wondering is much different than telling me that I don't need it, over payed for it, wasted my money, won't be able to use the extra memory, etc. as alexh did. I respect that most people don't need >4GB of memory however I do.

Woa, I thought the guy behind "Megadrive" (floppy disk emulator) gave up?

Where did you get that from?

Jope · 30 November 2009, 20:37

From him. :-)

Tell us!!

Jope · 30 November 2009, 21:00

Hehe, the price was 100e and postage was 15e from Russia to Finland. I guess the French one was cheaper? However I wanted this one.

About 5 days for the SWIFT transfer and another five-ish for the mail.

Works fine, I think I'll go and buy a 2GB card for it and bunch that full of classic ECS demos.

alexh · 30 November 2009, 21:06

Shame he didn't carry on the work. I believe he felt it needed another revision of the hardware with a more powerful processor to reduce the MFM conversion time.

Supamax · 30 November 2009, 21:07

@ Jope:

I suppose not, but... does it support IPFs too?

How many formats does it support? I couldn't find this info on the website...
Does it support all the formats supported by "the other one" (the french one)?

Yeh, it's in the tens of seconds. I don't mind that too much, perhaps there will be better devices in the future, but this is here now. :-)

IPF obviously doesn't work.. And .adf works, also atari st, spectrum clone images work I believe.. I only need adf support myself, so I didn't really care about finding out. :-)

Just paid for a WHDLoad key, £15 for uk

I hope he gets the name correct though, my paypal account has my boyfriends name on it

I did send an email with all my details though, hopefully the key will come with my name?
Do they use the name from the email address?

Chain · 30 November 2009, 23:36

whd key usually gets his name exactly as you want it, and not only names are allowed. you can use your nick also (ive registered it for few my friends) so it should be ok

The Core i7-860 is a Lynnfield processor which uses dual channel DDR3, not triple channel DDR3 like the Bloomfield (i7-920, etc.). 6 was possible, but only mixing 2x2GB and 2x1GB which I didn't want to do, and would have ended up only saving me about $30.
