I recently bought a Creative Decoder (DDTS100), which is a Dolby Digital EX/ Surround Pro Logic II / DTS-ES / DTS:Neo6 receiver and decoder box that you can hook up your DVD player, satellite receiver, VCR, stereo, computer, etc. to (it has 7 inputs, 3 standard coax/RCA analog stereo, 3 optical...

So any strange brushes with fame to speak of? Ever meet a famous game designer or a movie star or anything like that? I had one... The other day I bought a brand new copy of Popful Mail on eBay from Victor Ireland, the executive producer of the game translation and publishing company...

what's your "favorite" codec? So, audio encoding is a big deal these days, what with everybody trying to get stuff to sound nice but have small file sizes. And to think, just a few short years ago, everyone was using analogue audio casettes, and the majority of people didn't bother to use a...

Hey guys, I just wanted to mention that for the Genesis and Sega CD soundtracks that I have worked on I encoded them in different formats. To conserve bandwidth for SegaXtreme, I uploaded the tracks as mp3PRO tracks, which require a special winamp plugin to sound "their best". I thought it...

I'm not an expert on modding electronics, so I'm wondering if maybe someone can help me explain a problem I'm having with my "new" old MK I. (New in the sense that it saw very little use by the original owner.) When the headphone volume is at a "normal" listening level (you know, around 3-4...

:D I just bought my first Saturn. (yaay!) After years of reading you guys talk about Saturn games, I finally decided I'd get one. Since I'm not much into modding stuff or messing around with emulators (I like to collect actual games and add them to my display case) I've decided to start...

I just made an irritating discovery: the power adapter I've been using with my CDX unit isn't supposed to go with it. The CDX is rated at 9.5V, 1.5A The output from the plug I was using is 10V, 0.85A. I think that the plug I have is meant to go with a Genesis Mk II console. I never...

Hey guys, I was just wondering if anyone has ever tried to replace a memory backup battery for an old Master System game. I obtained a copy of Phantasy Star I as part of lot of games and parts I purchased. The copy is new in the box. (Hard to believe, I know, but it had been in storage, never...

I just picked up the 4 PS games for the classic Sega systems (i.e. SMS and Genesis) and now I'm looking for the hint books, and I'm wondering if anyone knows somebody with one or has one they wouldn't mind parting with. I think it's kind of strange that every copy of PS2 (well almost) had a...

Literally hundreds of interesting online auctions are on at this moment for interesting, high quality vintage Sega games, systems, and accessories. All manner of Sega hardware is being sold new in the box or in mint, hardly used condition. The people selling the systems range from video...

It suddenly occurred to me--now that technology has advanced enough that you could make a game that involved interactive video (e.g. the Tex Murphy series, for example, or any of a slew of Sega CD games) more easily and with much higher quality today, nobody makes them! I really enjoyed the Tex...

I currently own a CDX and use that. Now I've recently come into some old games and I'm looking for a power base converter. I know they don't fit on top of the Mk II genesis/megadrive models, but I was wondering if anyone has ever tried plugging one into a CDX before. Part of the reason I'm...

Heya folks... Long time no see... I recently came across and purchased a Mega Mouse because I have AD&D:Eye of The Beholder for my Sega CD. Anyway, it's absolutely fabulous to have an actual mouse to run that one and I don't know how I managed to play it without one. So, having said that, I'm...

I am having a confusing problem (another!) while attempting to use CDRWIN to rip some of my games so I can share them. I have tried this with 3 different games, and got the same error: each time, the program attempts to read the disc, and then a message comes up saying "Unable to read Audio...

Does anybody ever wonder why on Earth Sega decided to get rid of the headphone jack on the Genesis when they released the second model? Does that decision seem stupid to anyone else?? Personally, I didn't like the change... with the Model 1, I rarely ever played anything without ultracrisp...
