been smashing donkey kong tropical freeze on the wii u quite a bit recently. pretty unforgiving for a platformer, but brilliant game nonetheless

heya mike i think modusoperandi - phonosophy has 133 samples at normal pitch - but cant remember if this applies to the vocal sections

yeh - well - theres that! the biggest advantage of the SG is the great quality scaling / HDMI output for me....i def dont wanna fuck with a CRT these days, its just too much hassle OG megadrives are still cheap to pick up - games definitely aren't. especially if you're after anything that's even slightly popular or ""rare"". sorry to hear you got rid of your collection.....it would be a nightmare to rebuild in this market, with prices at all time highs if you're more interested in playing as opposed to collecting physical games...then an everdrive is likely the best way forward - whichever system or format you go with. I can definitely recommend a flash cart of some sort in your case - the everdrive by krikkz is awesome, but again....its expensive....there are plenty of cheap Chinese clone knock offs that do the job, which would suit the purpose though (linked below) ive had one of these before - which is HMDI as well: its a chinese clone console with HDMI - i used one of these for about a year before I got the SG and its actually pretty sick - inexpensive and is a decent experience overall - only plays USA region and JPN region games, mind you. under 40 quid to the UK, maybe? if you really wanted to go down the CRT route - OG megadrive and a flash cart, so you can avoid spending a shit load on games (and of course, have every game you want to play) https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33010196785.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.344f170dZpPwvd&algo_pvid=11ee4134-00a0-4a53-b002-e2c6fa9d9b06&algo_expid=11ee4134-00a0-4a53-b002-e2c6fa9d9b06-1&btsid=0b0a556816209594480417227e7387&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_,searchweb201603_ not sure what the exchange rate is - but should be under 20 quid for this cartridge. I owned one of these very ones before as well, coupled with the clone HMDI JPN Megadrive above - - - good combo and did the job just fine!! its really what sealed the deal in terms of moving from traditional, to HMDI format....its just so much easier happy to help you out with any questions too - this is really my 'area of expertise'...so hit me up anytime

....u could always get a mister or retropi set up too? Mister is also FPGA , but multiple cores / systems can be installed. it all looks like a bit too much work for me as it needs a fair amount of tinkering and set up...

right yeh - they sell out super fast......you gotta be on the ball with new stock, without a doubt. I got mine on the first run on pre order....but they're only ebay now for crazy monies that said, its the absolute ultimate MD experience with modern equipment - its without a doubt the best option - but I hear ya about import / tax etc - I got mine shipped to fuckin new zealand mate....cant get any more expensive, tbh....but its totally worth it - for me personally, anyway. Its still emulation in a sense - although the part that's emulated, is the machine itself - as opposed to the game. regardless...its truly an amazing piece of kit - very, very solid build, feels like it'll last a lifetime and hosts every possible feature you might ever need in terms of tweaking settings - and with the firmware jailbreak, you can play shit from the SD slot - which is what I basically do all the time now...none of the carts even come off the shelf anymore so it keeps my collection pristine I grabbed a couple of these wireless controllers from Retrobit as well - so I'm hopefully set for life haha. these controllers have been fine so far, prob nearly 2 years of use....but I've heard some people say theirs have broken, but it seems like it was the initial batch that had some manufacturing issues with the Dpads. the 8bitdo MD wireless pads are built like tanks and people rave about those, too....but the Retrobit ones are more like the OG pad releases /officially licensed, which to me feels a bit more 'genuine' you could also look at the hyperkin systems if you wanted something cheaper? hear they're also pretty good, and very cost friendly!!! https://www.hyperkin.com/megaretron-hd-gaming-console-for-genesis-mega-drive-hyperkin.html outputs only at 720p I think - but really, would you even notice? unlike the Mega SG, the hyperkin systems ARE emulating the games...so there's likely to be slight annoyances with this here and there if you're deep enough into the games to notice, I suppose. Even the Megadrive Mini released by Sega last year has emulation issues on games like Thunderforce 3 (sprite flickering an shit) which basically makes it VERY challenging if you're used to it playing properly...if you're a casual gamer you'd be unlikely to detect any issues - if you're a hard core Megadrive nerd, then you probably would how many games you got dude? I've been collecting on and off since they were first released...im up to just shy of 300 games now....pretty much all killer, not much filler - I'm down to about 20 games I really want....then I'm done. shits expensive these days, I got most of my collection about 15 -20 years ago and snagged most titles for a couple of quid each on ebay - not a chance now....sheesh. the last on my list are gonna cost me a small fortune - but hey - I don't have kids, so I've gotta spend my money on something, right?

yo - just seen this tag now probably wont be much help with this tbh, as I'm rocking a modern flatscreen these days. that said, I used to big old CRT for years and years with both the Megadrive, Snes and PS1. I guess it really depends on what you're wanting to play and which consoles / systems / machines you have? I am an avid megadrive / genesis collector - so I've got myself a "mega sg" by Analogue. its a modern day, FPGA Megadrive, which outputs HMDI - its customizable in every possible way from graphics to sound - there's basically nothing you cant tweak - so this works well for me having lots of physical games. so much easier than fucking about with yet another screen / CRT etc, its absolutely awesome. the same company also make a super Nintendo equivalent (super NT), which will most certainly, be just as excellent as the mega sg.....I don't really own enough super Nintendo carts to warrant spending on one of these atm - they're pretty fuckin expensive....but it depends on what sorta "level" you're into the game, I guess. You can update the firmware on both sg and nt to play roms from an SD card too... what are you looking to play @jeljms?

what..? ....theres an SL-1210GTFO coming out??

nice one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! if i ever end up owning a property - this would be something id DEF look at doing.... its pretty difficult in auckland as property prices are STUPID HIGH for what you get....youre looking at a million dollars for something half decent - thats about 500K in GBP for something that would be a third of the price in the UK. New Zealand has to be one of the most expensive places in the world as far as im concerned......7 quid a pint in some places :S

dope!!!!! good luck with the build!! awesome...

LOL!!! #boglyfe ....for.... life!!!? (now upgraded with a hastag - gotta be down with the kids, ya know?) yeh hit me up mang!!! would be cool to touch base x

ill chuck something in steve... i rarely check the forum - but def do on occasions! so if i miss you askin for donations, its not cos im not going to!! feel free to shout me any other way nearer the time too and ill happily contribute

this is mint...totally passed me by this! nice1

nice one mate - cool stuff!! good luck with it

Ps total newbie my arse

Jeez!! ...Joey dex, how the hell are ya!!!? Nice to hear youre back on the spins dude!! I assume the kids have grown up a wee bit and youre able to set up again? Ayyy i dunno....most people i know still cut on wax, djing with dvs generally yeah, but cuttin....nahh. I moved to new zealand 8 years ago, and life is also very different...im still jamming on occasions and have a pdx and a rane 56 in my lounge so im still loosely involved, albeit not as much as 15 years back lol Id suggest grabbing a cheap rane or similar man....nowt wrong with them and can be picked up reasonably cheap - especially if youre just wanting to cut and jam out...lots of the new mixers freak me the fuck out and im just not down with spemding time learning new fearures for the 10 minutes a month i might actually spend scratchin Ive built up my digital collection from searching and downloading, usually from blogs an shit...but ive not really been downloading music in the past year or so, and yeh...soulseek is still going, amazingly! Keep in touch dude, would be nice to hear from ya! Im Easily findable on the old book of faces if ur using it

oh wow

analogue make great products - im currently just about to drop some cash on the MEGA SG - the megadrive release they've done

nice one mike

sweet - cheers steve!

does no one know what this is? or have i just not uploaded it properly lol

the UE wonderboom is decent for the size and price. i got one as a bundle with my phone - didnt expect much with the size of it, but its really good for what it is. i think the UE booms are probably the some of the best out tbh - u may find one on ONE DAY DEALS or similar somewhere for a good price? the original UE boom is on amazon uk for 70 - little bit more than you wanna spend...but prob worth it? https://pricespy.co.uk/audio-video/speakers-headphones/portable-speakers/ultimate-ears-ue-boom--p1945107

hey guys theres an old mike boogie beat which i only have a 4 bar loop of.... any idea what its from? https://www.dropbox.com/s/twj5d2eo8k1b8am/mikeboogie2.wav2.wav?dl=0

Like one of the portable ones? I have one of these. I'm gutted it's stopped working but it's one of the pieces of gear I like using the most and it's had a good run for the last 20 years I suppose.. I'm looking around for a replacement and hopefully I'll find another one pretty soon. dope! i never had a hi fi MD...just a portable... ive still got it....but not sure if it works anymore?

i scored a minty vestax 05 pro for 70 bucks / 35 quid the other day from crack converters. doesnt have a power supply tho,...so not even sure if it actually works
