What is people's opinions on the Super Everdrive vs the SNES2SD? The price difference is pretty big, In the only important thing you are missing out on in terms of game compatibility (that matters) is the Megaman X games. Also the SNES2SD project has not been updated since August last year.

Unfortunately, ikari is slow with updates but that's due to his personal life and this is just a hobby to him really.

So i was able to get the 2nd Last copy of 8 Bit Music Power off PlayAsia. More gimmicky Famicom releases, people. If only it was a Famicom Disk release, Then I would have paid serious  . I mean there's probably a lot of Famicom disks with crap Bandai games that could be repurposed.

I bought a Wii at Goodwill today for 15 bucks. Had all of the cables and two Wiimotes. Pretty unremarkable, but here's the interesting part: I fire it up, and there's a copy of Mario Party 8 inside. Since I already have MP8, I pretty much just got a free Wii!

The game is invariably 4x3 AR; IIRC the first print run of the game had bright blue side bars for Widescreen sets, which would damage certain TV's if you played longer games. Later versions of the game have, I think, safer dark grey side bars.

I posted this in the Megaman thread but I might as well post it here as well: a translated interview with Akira Kitamura, the director of MM1/2! http://shmuplations.com/megaman/ The dude hasn't done a ton of interviews and most of what we know about him is conjecture from people looking to discredit Inafune or whatever, so it's nice to get something directly from the source for a change.

Cables for my XRGB finally came in and yeah the SNES looks sooooooooo nice. Other systems are going to have to wait for mods, sadly. I do notice the vertical line thing for the SNES but it's so hard to see, I never would've known to look for it otherwise. Can't say it really bothers me. In checking my library weirdly the only game that appears to have had its battery die is Yoshi's Island. Even Zelda 2 which I tried out last week still had some saves from 25+ years ago.

So I'm going to take the plunge on getting a Dreamcast – it's gonna be my first Sega console! I know I'm going to have to get some extra cables to get it to work with my HDTV. Does anyone have any experience with these? http://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00HPU96FI http://smile.amazon.com/HDE-Audio-1080p-Converter-Adapter/dp/B009L4X3ZA If there's anything else I should know as a new DC owner, please tell me. I'm absolutely open to game recommendations too – I ordered Crazy Taxi and Chu Chu Rocket, and the next on my list is Soul Calibur. Generally I enjoy weird/action/racing/fighting/puzzle games that aren't super difficult. I was considering Jet Grind Radio but I heard it gets really frustrating so I was kind of hesitant.

I can only comment on the VGA cable since luckily my HDTV has a built-in VGA input, but I've had no issues with it. Works as intended.

The Powerstone series should be right up your alley; in fact, all of Capcom's fighting games on the platform are exceptional. Also, as the world's only fan of the series, I have to recommend Psychic Force 2012 even if you're four years too late. And naturally, Typing of the Dead is a must.

Also, make sure to get a fishing rod controller and a jump/rumble pack.

So I've tried running some old school arcade games the past hour using MAME. Apparently not every version of MAME supports all roms? I dl'd the latest stable release, only to realise none of the roms registered. It's stuff like Dig Dug, Berzerk, and Pacman. I'm currently using 0.10, and most of it works, but I'm thinking maybe there's a definite release for revisiting old school games.

I also like the Sonic Adventure games a lot and they're fun games but they're also kind of bad games that so happen to be fun and have aged horribly so YMMV.

All the big titles have been mentioned but I'd like to mention Cosmic Smash for Dreamcast. It is like 3D pong from Tron. It may be a touch harder than you're looking for but you may still have fun with it since it satisfies both the puzzle and the weird recommendation and hey, I'm assuming you aren't tracking down original copies for all of these games so the most you lose out on is a CD-R.

Yeah I don't see this game recommended nearly as much as it should be, it's actually a Naomi arcade port like many of the DC's best games. My recs would be (trying to only name stuff that hasn't been mentioned): Radirgy, Karous, Cannon Spike, Charge n Blast, Tee Off and it's Japan-only sequel Golf Shiyouyo 2, Guilty Gear X, Project Justice, Psychic Force 2012, Puyo Puyo 4, Record of Lodoss War, Rippin Riders, Tokyo Bus Guide, Tokyo Xtreme Racer 1/2 (way better than it's dumb title suggests), and one of these:  e: so much for making recs others haven't, should have read previous posts more carefully

This is one of my all time favorite games. Rez and Cosmic Smash occupy the top 2 spots in my favorite games of all time list. Rez HD on the XBox 360 is the best version of it, but the Dreamcast version is 2nd best. The PS2 version was blurry and choppy where the Dreamcast version is very crisp for a standard definition very stylized game. Cosmic Smash is better on the Dreamcast than the arcade for the simple reason of the trick shot having a separate button instead of having to hit both buttons together in the arcade version. Aside from that, I think they are identical. Also, Shenmue 2's Dreamcast release is the best because you get Japanese audio and English subtitles instead of the terrible English dubbing available on the XBox version.

So you need the 0.170 romset. put the romset in the roms folder without unzipping anything and go to file->audit all sets in mameui. you're still going to come up with a lot of missing stuff but ignore it. use the folders on the left to navigate and right click on them and choose "custom filters" to filter out non working stuff and MESS stuff (non arcade garbage that has been added to MAME for some reason).

There's also Bust-A-Move/Puzzle Bobble 4, which as far as I can tell from looking around online is one of the best releases in the series.
