I picked up a copy of BC Racers on e-bay, and it's tingling my spidey senses. The first thing I noticed was that the manual had a funny texture. It was still a thick glossy cover with thinner pages, and a professional looking double spine staple and fold. But the cover is somehow slightly less...

Anyone know if redspotgames.com is actually a legit store? I recently had a pretty bad experience with them.

My primary game gear finally died. Unlike my other game gear that just had the no-audio problem, my primary game gear would randomly power-cycle in the middle of games, which can also be attributed to the same caps. For those who don't know, due to poor imported capacitors at the time of the...

Are there any games with both saturn and ps1 ports that are significantly different/better on one system or the other?

Last week I finally went about modding my NES to play imports. You can find the details on the web fairly easily, all you have to do is flip pin 4 on the region lockout chip. I also did the solder to pin 11 (gnd) for safety. While I was at it, I was going to replace my cartridge slot assembly...

Groove On Fight (jp) "ram cart not connected" error I have an action replay cart I use that lets me play imports on my saturn. It doesn't have the built-in ram upgrades like the 4-in-1 cart, but so far it's allowed me to play all imports. Until I got to Groove On Fight (power instinct III). It...

Did you know that http://www.phantasy-star-universe.com/community/ Still takes you here? Worthless observation I know. But I was going through my 12 years of archives of my "favorites" links, and was surprised to see that my old link to segaxtreme still worked.

LOL I couldn't believe it when it happened. I booted up Road Rash for the Sega CD and got a blue screen of death! It was just a blue screen with the word "placeholder". Well it didn't take too long of tinkering to figure out it was a backup ram issue. I deleted some files and it booted fine. I...

I was just playing wipeout and thinking how this sucks playing with those terrible playstation thumbsticks. Well I guess that's not a huge revelation since everything sucks on the standard playstation controller. But this specifically, as about a decade ago I had wipeout XL on the PC, and played...

Anyone ever heard of this? http://segaretro.org/XE-1_AP It is supported by a number of games that I enjoy and own. I can't locate one on e-bay so it must be pretty rare. There's a note that says it's unknown if support still exists in the US versions of these games. Does anyone know that? I...

I just got Pocky & Rocky for the SNES. The character sprites where all weird, cropped, moved, compressed. I tried everything, but eventually tracked it down to the use of an s-video cable. Now the weird thing is that I had tried to rule that out by using an old fasioned NES style RF adapter...

I've got and am almost done completing my collections for: Atari 2600, Lynx Sega Master System, Genesis, CD, 32x, Game Gear, Saturn, Dreamcast Nintendo NES, SNES, N64, Game Boy, GBA 3DO PS1/PS2 My question is, what should be the next system? For a while I had decided upon the Neo Geo...

Does anyone have scans or shots of a legitimate eliminate down box/cart/instructions? There's a guy on e-bay who sells bootlegs all the time, and he says they are bootlegs in the description, and sells them for relatively cheap. But lately there's been a number of eliminate down's showing up...

I just got super fantasy zone for the megadrive to complete my genesis collection. My genesis/segacd/32x want list is all checked off now! (not a *complete* collection, just everything I want). Anyway, just some interesting things. As usually I popped it in first without throwing my region...

I found this awesome saturn/psx light gun in the shape of a submachine gun with a laser sight. I can only find one instance of it on the internet, http://www.retro-mo.de/Seiten/spielsachen/sega.html, search "naki light gun", it's about 2/3rds down the page, 4th column. Unfortunately I can't get...

Just picked up quake at the discland buy 2 get 1 free sale. It creates a save file when you load it. But I can't find anywhere in the game to actually save your progress. And the start screen only gives you a "new game" option. There must be some trick, like hitting up up right a b at the level...

Under Defeat alternate view modes don't work? I recently got Under Defeat for the dreamcast. According to the options, there are 3 different view modes, including an auto-type and more iso-metric (lower) view. But no matter which I select, it always displays as the more default higher-view. I...

http://segaretro.org/Wonder_Library Found it looking for info on Flux. Are there any other cart-boot mega CD games besides these two? Makes you wonder if the entire first years run of Sega CD games couldn't have just been a CD audio disk and boot from the original genesis game. I wonder if we...

How rare is the timecop demo? I was under the impression it was fairly rare, that's why it took so long to get the gooddealgames beta release. I was surfing through the stuff from one of the 32x auctioneers, and saw this...

I thought I knew everything there was about the genesis/CD/32x, but just saw this today http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oswpqv22TIg A late stage EU release mega-cd "cart" that does audio visualizations for your CD music. Anyone else know about this? Comments say it works on NTSC without issue.
