Bithead is funny as hell. I just don't get why he always sells off his collection and starts again. Then again, his living for the hunt goes above and beyond.

Quote from: JKM on 06/08/2014, 09:17 AMFrom Retrogate it has taken between two weeks and a full month for me. That reminds me, I need to order a Fami Everdrive before my new AV Fami gets here...Dayum... was hoping 1 1/2 to 2 weeks. Here's hoping I get it before July. Stone Age Gamer in the US is constantly out of stock with flash carts, yet Retrogate in Germany is always in stock. lol
Quote from: SuperDeadite on 03/25/2014, 04:26 AMNo experience on a CDZ, but on a Top Loader with all options on, it's something like 7 mins to actually get in a match.7 minutes is a bit of an exaggeration for the toploader running AOF 3, but it does take a while (40 seconds for the first match and a bunch of 12-15 second loads for the cutscenes/intro/win screens). The screen zooming is there in the NGCD, just confirmed it on my CDZ. They just made the characters 20% smaller and took out a few frames of animation. Other than that, AOF 3 on NGCD is still great, especially with the AST and playing it on a CDZ.
In the end the thing AoF3 has going for it are the graphics, and the CD version pretty much ruins it. The screen zooming was completely removed.
Quote from: munchiaz on 01/17/2014, 02:26 PMThis is why the 4-in-1 AR does everything needed. It works as a back memory cart, but not as a save memory cart. I just make sure to clear some space with the internal memory before firing up a big memory using game like Dragon Force or something. It works with all 1MB and 4MB games minus KOF '95. I never have to unplug the cart and it isn't thick and destructive like the Game Shark.Quote from: DragonmasterDan on 01/17/2014, 02:05 PMSo would the best bet be, transfer files on the Saturn to a memory card, and keep the saturn on board memory clean to save what you are currently playing?Quote from: yoyo on 01/17/2014, 07:34 AMI remember trying to save games on a PSX memory card, it did seem pretty slow, esp compared to a Saturn memory card. Waited forever for the save menu to pop up, waited forever for the file to write, and waited forever for exiting the menu to go back to the game.The Saturn cartridge slot provides a lot more bandwidth to save than does the Playstation memory card slot. The downside is of course that a lot of Saturn memory card slots are jacked up and I've seen games freeze in attempting to save when good contact isn't being made.
Quote from: EvilEvoIX on 10/11/2013, 12:51 PMI just picked up all of these on the cheap. SS1 is classic but AOF2 is a pure beast, damn near impossible and must be mastered to beat.Well most characters like Ryo and Robert, just triangle jump kick and hard kick sweep. You can't straight up fight the computer, you have to use the cheapness patterns (even on 1 out of 8 challenge, lol). Kinda fucking ruins any casual enjoying of the game 1 player-wise, which is a damn shame.
Quote from: guest on 07/31/2013, 10:49 PMHey everyone,Yeah, you will want that CDZ. If you are playing Last Blade 1 and 2.... definitely get the CDZ. In fact, all fighters after 1995 it is more than worth it. If you are going for other games like earlier fighters and all non-fighters, the single speed models will suffice. So nice to see you are choosing it over the others.
I've always wanted a Neo Geo, so recently I've decided to buy a CDZ soon....
So far I own Last Blade 2......
Thanks.
Quote from: Bernie on 08/02/2013, 12:53 AMGot the NES Everdrive in today. Its really a nice piece! Its nice being able to play the disk system games, and it auto switches disk A or B for you, really a nice touch. So far I've been very impressed with these chips. I've got the Turbo one, Snes , and now the NES. Think I'll grab the N64 one next. I may get the MegaDrive one at some point, not sure yet.How is the extra sound from FDS games and others like Dracula 3? I am assuming you did the resistor audio mod asking this, lol.
Quote from: Joe Redifer on 06/15/2013, 07:42 PMThe thing I hate about Art of Fighting 2 is that it's too damn easy. I swear I maybe lost 2 or 3 bouts TOTAL in my first time playing it. Never lost a match. That's probably not even possible.How are you playing the game and with who??? I only win by spamming sweeps and triangle jump kicks. If you straight up try to play the game "normal" it hands you your ass with its cheap ass AI.
Quote from: MotherGunner on 04/23/2013, 08:24 PMI always misread game titles too. Being a beaner, I always saw/read "Salsa Frontier."I've had this game since it came out and never beat one scenario. Apparently I kept screwing myself with the way I would level up. You level up with stats instead of levels, much like Final Fantasy 2 JP. The Hit Point and Life Points system is what would get me. I would level up a character like when playing Rogue or Blue's scenario, get far, and always die at the final/or later battles. I kept getting killed in two turns or so, resurrect my characters and then run out of Life Points, die again and game over. Seriously, how is it that they would make a game where if you level up too much in a certain way, you will never win?!?!? WTF dude???
Quote from: EvilEvoIX on 04/10/2013, 11:47 PMGet the component cables for the PS2, some games are in 480P like god of war 2 I believe.Oh, I got component cables for my PS2 since I bought my Sony WEGA Trinitron back in 2004. Just soon after that, I modded my Neo Geo AES with Neobitz Component video.
Quote from: majors on 04/02/2013, 09:18 AMI feel the same way about Nam-1975. I had my AES for several years and slapped my forehead, asking myself why I don't have this for my AES. I bought it within a week, US mint with no black marker censoring for $40 in 2007. I enjoy it a lot more than ML gameplay wise.Quote from: guest on 04/01/2013, 10:57 PMThe other day I picked up Side Arms ...Agreed, SA was my goto shooter in the 90's. Just don't listen to JoshQuote from: BlueBMW on 04/01/2013, 09:54 PMI'm well on my way to being a total aeshole. AES cart #2 arrived today.Nam is the game the defined the Neo for me. ML was a must have also: The colors and design, good control...I put a roll of quarters in that game and still never beat it (I had the memory card so I felt it was not a total waste of money). Solid pick-up.
Quote from: Sensato Black Lion on 03/05/2013, 09:23 AMBack on the original topic, has anyone compared this newer s-video mod with the CXA1645 one?My Duo originally had the even better CXA 2075 S-video mod, which looked just a bit better than CXA 1645 from what I could tell. Now I have it with the newer S-video mod in the same Duo... which I added while I sent it off for a cap replacement after my attempt that went wrong.
I made a screenshot comparison page based on the CXA mod some time ago if anyone is interested: http://quebecgamers.com/sensato/Workshop/PCE_svid.htm
I took my screenshots with some ATI All-In-Wonder capture card from an old PC I don't have anymore.
The difference between svideo and composite seems bigger to me with these screenshots (based on the CXA1645 svideo mod) than with the newer mod but I will have to try the newer mod to see how it really does.
I almost pray that the output from the new mod is of similar quality than with the CXA mod because the new mod is simply MUCH easier to perform.
Quote from: SamIAm on 02/10/2013, 09:55 PMIt definitely looks good, and I'd bet you would be glad to get hold of a CRT. Naturally, the Duo in composite (and the Supergrafx, too) has that quirk where certain color patterns get all funky when they scroll. That's the nature of the composite encoding on this system. If an S-Video mod can reduce or get rid of that, then I think I wouldn't really need any other quality boosts.With the S-video mod (thesteve on the forums version), it fixes both the dot crawl and color shimmering. It even gets rid of rainbow effects and shimmering you see even when the screen is sitting still. It also improves resolution and color by a lot. It is definitely worth doing, trust me.
Quote from: A Black Falcon on 01/16/2013, 05:40 PMEven with all of that (region mod, simple s-video mod, laser replacement). You would still pay under $80. You would be surprised how reasonably priced it is to get a few things done when you send your system off to someone here.Quote from: SNKNostalgia on 01/15/2013, 02:03 PMYeah, internal region mods tend to go for around $50 or so if it is the only mod done in one session. I really would just go ahead and do that. No ugly convertors poking out of the HuCard slot. Also, it is more reliable in the long run. While you are at it, get an S-video mod done to it. The S-video mod is cheaper than ever to do these days, due to no more external circuit with an encoder.$50... but do you then need to pay for shipping both ways on top of that? That would add to the cost... but yeah, I really need to get my TG16 region-modded sometime. It definitely seems like the cheapest way to play imports...
The thing is though, I've also got a TG16 CD drive with a dead laser. I've been unable to decide if I could actually fix it myself if I got the laser (maybe, but do I want to spend like $40 or whatever a laser would cost and then not do it right...), or if I should send it to someone, so it's just been sitting around for several years now... I REALLY need to do something about that.
