Would make sense since most are using MAME now anyways. I'll upload pics of my soon to be done Sonic 2 Casino Zone Bartop Arcade.

For me, the gradual switch to Everdrives and the like is more about space constraints. I love having a huge library of carts, but for how much I play some of them, it's very difficult to justify increasing its size. My wife is pretty cool about having a large chunk of our home dedicated to my hobby, and I would like it to stay that way.

Another problem is the fakes turning up.
Ultimately I just want to play the game, not just collect.

All this Everdrive talk is making me rethink what to do going forward. I don't want to feed the problem and as someone said earlier and the devs don't see a dime. I like having everything physical tho & I guess I could just sit back play games and relax and when something comes along I really want I'll just grab it. As much as I am against save states it would be easier being that I don't have all the time in the world anymore and I'm not getting younger. I Don't know, lol
Awesome stuff.
Next step is SD card mods for the disc based shit. You have GDEMU for Dreamcast, rhea for Saturn, and PS-IO for PS1. We are still in the early days of this stuff, though. They are made by one guy, so they are constantly out of stock, not cheap, and compatibility isn't perfect.
I wouldn't be surprised if, in a couple of years, perfect SD card mods for PS1, Saturn, Dreamcast, PS2, Gamecube and Xbox were as common as Everdrives. And that's exciting

yeah...save states are just an option, and only the NES & Genesis ones have em right now anyway! admittedly, it'd take more discipline than i have to not use em, haha
yeah, some scenes (AES, gameboy etc) are ripe with these, i know genesis & SNES repros are a popular thing but i wonder how many fake earthbounds are sold on ebay

it's funny, i love my discs so i'm not quite ready for this, but then i love my carts and it's been an easy transition...honestly, it's gonna be great when this happens full-on. years ago i took to PS2 HDD Loader & never looked back, loading times alone made it worth it

Hasn't really fazed me, seeing as I don't really expect them to be there and thus aren't likely to remember they're available for use.
Actually, I've heard that it affects compatibility on the Genesis, at the very least, so I'll probably want to turn them off to maximize that.

does it? i know some games just won't support it outright, Moonwalker comes to mind
more commonly it'll bork the music a bit, like Shining Force II

ugh...i'm gonna catch a ban one day for arguing with the moral high horsery of ITS PIRACY when the game is a decades-old licensed title
yeah, you're really doing the industry a service throwing hundreds at a reseller, excellent point

The only old games I'll argue against emulation/roms for are those that are still sold via digital means.

They're always a zoo. Honestly while community results in less traffic, I find the quality of discussion even if the bigger and more conversational community threads to be better than the vast majority of threads posted on general gaming.

100% agreed - if its on GOG/PSN/etc you should support it there
ive had repros & such that showed up elsewhere later (Monster World IV comes to mind) and i always feel compelled to support it - hell, i often grab digital copies of stuff i legit own like NiGHTS/Grim Fandango etc because i wanna support the IP now where i didn't get a chance in the day

A used Jaguar with one controller and a game or two should run about $100 - $250. It all depends on the seller, condition of the console and if it comes with a box or not. Some good games to start out with that are reasonably priced are Tempest 2000, Alien vs Predator and Iron Soldier. The Jaguar originally came with Cybermorph, a free roaming planetary 3D shooter/exploration game as the pack-in, so many used Jaguar consoles will come with Cybermorph.

Sunsoft plz let me give you money for Gimmick! I'll still play it on my Everdrive but put it on something I can buy for a reasonable price.

Sunsoft is up there with Natsume and a few others from me as far as wanting compilations of their greatest hits on a disc somehow...Hudson too =/

SunSoft = blaster master, that was hot. (the only other sunsoft game i remember is Fester's Q.)
Its always terrible outside of retro-gaf when it comes to this stuff imo. So much ignorance, unfortunately.

Gimmick didn't come out in the States. I didn't learn about it until recently.
Disagreeing with you doesn't make someone ignorant. I'd venture a guess that many 'shit posters' read these threads but just don't feel like debating it here and derailing things. You can appreciate and love retro games and be willing to only play what you buy. The beliefs are not diametrically opposed. I think things like ever drives and emulators are also awesome, but again this doesn't preclude using them in accordance with the laws of your land. I don't think less of you for disagreeing with me, please extend the same to us on the other side.
I wasnt referring to the actual discussion there, about piracy/emulation and whatnot. I was saying in more general terms, that a lot of retro-themed thread on discussions have a lot of posters that have no idea waht they are talking about. This is not about agreeing/disagreeing on something, but just dont knowing. Which is different, and what I was refeering to. With that said, I am sure I post about things I have no clue on as well, and that it irritates folk, so no big deal. And I definitely agree with you that we need to respect people regardless of opinions (of course!).
My apologies for misunderstanding. You're alright, I'll go back to lurking now
Hey, if you are a retro-lover, be sure to post more in retro-gaf, as i think we are generally a good group (although maybe a bit elitistic sometimes) that definitely welcome newcomers!

0 interest in the law of my land when it comes to entertainment - ive had some great talks with Stumpkapow about emulation talk on old stuff, and how silly it is to get on a high horse about essentially abandonware, but i'm not trying to spent my energy debating the lawful-good alignment in that thread or testing my luck with mod policies
i think that's true for most of us, honestly

i think she's part of the collection=) jk, i doubt anyone like that existed in the 80's, gaming is more accepted today among young adults.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
I'm sure they're out there... I just have no idea where. But it's not like you just meet people on the street and know "yo, they are hardcore." Unless they're a disgusting mess of a person.
Haha, I was thinking the same thing! Also, where's the dehumidifier at?

Not sure about the others, but don't buy the Gimmick one for Gimmick. it's a shit port. slow down, small loading times on screen transitions, absolutely butchered music. stick to FCEUX for that one.
it's cool, i eat my words 3 meals a day for the most part lol

Man...if you havent heard Gimmick's soundtrack yet. You're in for some awesome.
I've always thought that was impossible, until i've talked with other guys at work before, and they arent that into games in the least bit. More women i've talked to drop stuff about Mario Kart every now and then.
