Re: mCable WORKS!

I'm holding out on 4K for as long as possible, but I have a large DVD collection that I don't plan on getting rid of. I wonder how the cinema cable would do going from 480p to 1080p. The Cinema cable is getting great reviews too. They have said eventually they will make a unified cable that does bo...

mCable WORKS!

So after falling in love with RetroTink 2X (and finally being able to give up my old HD-CRT), I've realized that my new 4K TV makes everything I have other than my PC look like CRAP. Well another new image-processor is HERE and Boys and Girls - this AMAZING. There are two versions - 1 for movies and...

Re: Neo Geo Mini - Has SNK got the Sega Saturn problem??

But by the time I have purchased an additional 2 controllers and a scan line converter... I will have paid what I think is way too much. I think SNK has everything it needs for a hit product, it just needs to put it together in the right package designed for the right purpose. Shea FINALLY switched...

Re: Neo Geo Mini - Has SNK got the Sega Saturn problem??

I think the form factor is actually what hurts it a lot. That mini cab design is cute, but doesn't look comfortable to use. With a screen that size, regardless of the quality, it needs to be a handheld. But it's not. It needs to sit on a table or in your lap. I can't imagine that stick and button s...

Neo Geo Mini - Has SNK got the Sega Saturn problem??

WCCFneogeo2.jpg So this week a LOT of reviews have come out for SNKs push at the mini-console market and most have been pretty sour. You hear a lot about analog instead of classic, gated-microswitch controllers, no batteries to play on the go and lack of sharpness on HDTVs. But ALL of the reviewers...

Re: Wii U USB problems - NOT JUST ABOUT POWER...

You're being over dramatic. The WiiU they gave up on years ago before even the Switch popped up, and it had its problems right down to the terrible OS and lag it has even after the fixes, but to say what they did was malicious is just drama queen behavior. Fine be pissed off their discontinued junk...

Re: Wii U USB problems - NOT JUST ABOUT POWER...

I think "contempt" might be a little strong. Sure, it was short-sighted, but malicious? That's ridiculous. Also...isn't it kind of a moot point? The whole "vote with your dollar" thing doesn't really apply well to a system that was discontinued almost two years ago. When a compa...

Re: Together Retro: Beat-'Em-Ups

Fighting/Beat 'Em-Up games are a fav. of mine, but two that are the ultimate for just eating-the-clock, without thinking too hard about it, are King of Fighters 2006 and God Hand (both on PS2). Any games that let you fight as the Metal Slug, or Let you Spank naughty female enemies simply cannot be c...

Re: Wii U USB problems - NOT JUST ABOUT POWER...

I mean, you can only use one at a time for active memory writing and reading probably due to the processing issues you mentioned, but just move the games you don't normally play to a second drive and switch which hard drive you have connected if you want to play those. Sure, it's inconvenient, but ...

You can use two external drives.


Not on my Wii U. Whenever I have two Externals of ANY type attached, it forces me to the Data Management screen.

If you can, it is likely you have a bug in your firmware.
