Plus talking about the next Xbox being a "premium,high-end product" - so in other words very expensive it seems like the Series X is my last Xbox. So I cancelled my GP when...

The Cube has a battery backed up clock to keep the time/date and settings. The batteries are now over Twenty years old now and will be failing at best or at worst leaking which would destroy the PCB. The battery is soldered direct to the game controller sub assembly and in this case it wasn't loosing the settings but the clock wasn't keeping up to date. When I removed it the voltage...

I've been interested in in since it was previewed at one of the American game shows earlier in the year. It's now due out within the next month and has evolved into a neat looking little unit that comes with two joysticks with spinner controls and a selection of Atari 2600, 5200, 7800 and Arcade games built in. Importantly it also has a Micro-SD card slot included as well and you can add your own...

I'm not sure this has got much of a mention so far when we've been chatting cool things 7800 orientated.

Anyhow, some other guys were discussing add-on carts for 7800 software featuring the "back catalogue" and homebrew games and this little devil got a mention... YES, it is expensive but check out just what it can do - there is no doubting its quality and features, fellas:

Stunning work, if you fast forward the video to actual gameplay then it's just amazing considering what the other emulators looked like. It's perfect.

And now, Jag CD support, which again works perfectly.. Took 2 secs to find the real bios's but the cart games will load without it fine, not sure of the CD side but most likely yeas as well, I just like to have the real bios for max compatibility....

A few months back both my Pi unit and one belonging to a friend in Cambridge took a dive due to file system corruptions on their SD card MAME menus etc. Weird how they both seemed to be struck simultaneously despite being physically apart but there you go...ours is not to reason why.

Anyway, I got a couple of replacement memory cards and set-about restoring the menus/game ROM dirs etc etc and after about 6 months of "tossing it off" (first batch of SD cards wouldn't play ball) I...

The most advanced handheld machine in my mind, at least until the Gameboy Advance/SP Models released in 2001. Sadly hampered by a lacklustre games lineup and short battery life, but there are some gems in there ( Klax anyone? ) and now with modern rechargeable batteries able to keep on gaming now my Lynx II still gets a run out every week. I would like to get the McWill LED screen mod but it’s expensive and the Lynx SD Card remains on my want list.
Anyone...
