Re: Guide: "No Emulation, No Compromise, No Comparison" - Everything You Need To Know About The $250 Neo Geo+ AES

romanista

@TrollOfWar no worries.
Yeah i saw the announcement last week... No really in the market for more evercade hardware at the moment i think.. i bought my alpha when i heard neo geo was coming since i always wanted a neo arcade... so i'm happy more neo geo carts are coming.... and i decorated my alpha with neo geo stickers.... works really nice...

(and although the aes trickles ofcourse, i play neo geo via fpga on my crt with a nice arcade stick as well ... so I try to refrain myself)

Re: Talking Point: "We, The Consumers, Need To Vote With Our Wallets" - The Moral Dilemma Of Supporting SNK In 2026

Thanx for sharing your thoughts @damo...since you probably predicted the reaction, it is at least slightly daring... And personally I think you are never hypocriete if you share the doubts you're having, and there is no consistant moral line... I work on sustainable mobility, but still fly writing about it..

On this specific situation.. it is logical that the saudi economy is diverging..the oil economy is ending in time...and im that way this could be a part of a transition.. but that is an optimistic view..Furthermore this are more business decisions than personally linked to MBS, so that makes it more comparable with buying stuff from China, or indeed the US...

A more cynical view is ofcourse that this is late state capitalism and this just indulges in more stuff we dont really needm while complain8ng about spending money on things we do need as humanity or western world.. but that is a much wider discussion

Yesterday i de ided not to buy this... I connect my analogue pocket via the analogizer, psn snac, psn converter to my x arcade and my crt and though: this self combined solution gives me more satisfaction than a pre made one... Even though it looks nice. ( And the price of those games..)

Re: Hands On: 8BitDo 64 Bluetooth Controller – Now With Extra N64 Energy

@-wc- Yes it really nice, found it at nedgame here in nk, after giving up on the official site.. My excuse was that i now have a m30 downstairs (for on the switch, or saturn on my tablet), and the special one above for my crt consoles (just upgraded my megadrive with a better rgb cable and flash), so i can play earthion with its controller there

Re: "This Is A Full Circle Moment For Me" - Retro Gamer Veteran Returns To The Mag Full Time, More Than 20 Years After Launching It

romanista

welcome back Martyn! I just sorted all my issues, and had that famous number 1 (think they gave it remade after 10 years ors) in my fingers... remember the first being destroyed by Stuart Campbell, who later freelanced on it in the imagine publishing time... but it grew on to be something amazing... how many niche magazines reach this age...

Re: Anniversary: 25 Years Ago, Nintendo Put SNES Games In The Palm Of Your Hand With The GBA

romanista

I'll fire up my micro to celebrate!

The gba sp was my return to 'current' gaming after just playing my old amiga and losing a bit of interest during studying.. (why I didn't buy a Nintendo 64 during those days I can't imagine)... And selling that Zelda special edition might still being my single stupidest gaming decision...

Anyway.. did get a cheap micro, and now my analogue pocket is my super gba,,,

fav gba games: Wario ware, advance wars, kukukurin, Mario tennis ..

Re: Review: Taito Arcade 3 (Evercade) - Puzzle Bobble And Cadash Lead The Charge

romanista

Nice addition to my arcade lineup (I just finally secured a Atari arcade one somewhere in poland)

Cadash got me wondering, are there more Arcade-RPG like that, wondered how that would feel in the arcade, that minute it takes to make your character...seems so much more a console game

Found football champ a bit boring, but haven't tried it multiplayer..

Re: They Buried My Beloved CeX

romanista

Since i always here great stories about the cex i went to london cexxes last november... basically they had lots of ps4 and switch games, with some a few from the generations before, but nothing like the retro game shop i imagined it would be... maybe bad luck, but my expectations were soo high...

Re: "We're Finishing History, Decades Later" - Analogue 3D's Latest Limited Editions Are Based On Unreleased N64 Prototypes

romanista

@Razieluigi I still don;t get why that dac support is so complex for them... if it works with there older ones...and fits into a hdmi.. how hard can it be, but i guess we're missing something...

really happy with my Analogizer, and that website for gb camara management.. community is doing what analogue won't i guess...

still with this n64 /a3d I think it is a different situation, in a way they really overperformed with that unleashed mode... , which they didn't advertise (i actually cancelled my preorder)... And people complaining about the upscaling/4k didn't understand the nature of the project i'm afraid.. (i am happy if i want that i play them on nso, but the 32bit cxolor thing does so much more to improve the image)

so in the end i caved in and now waiting for that ocean blue one
