@TG16_IS_BAE You're welcome
4 devices exists to my knowledge :

• Rhea & Phoebe : one is for 20-pin Model 1 Saturn, one is for 21-pin Model 1 & 2 Saturn (130€)
• Fenrir : For 20-pin Model 1 Saturn. I think a 21-Pin model is on the work. (100€)
• MODE : Terraonion's last product, which is the more expensive (199$ + import taxes), but works with all models AND Dreamcast. It's just been released.

PS : Rhea, Phoebe & Fenrir work with SD cards.
MODE works with sd cards, 3"5 hard drive disks, 2"5 hard drive disks, SSD (!) and external disks via USB.

@retroking Thanks for the feedback !

Has anyone tried it ? Is it good ?
I did get the very recent Fenrir for Saturn and the result is awesome, especially as my CD drive was dead. There are still some sound bugs to fix but there are ways to "fix" them until the firmware is updated.

@Dustopolis It was struggling even on Xbox One X, yes : https://youtu.be/4nUYBcp_WP0?t=513

But it turns out I just learned they patched the game one month after its original release, and a second time another month after : it might run properly today.

@Aurumonado 60fps on Switch would be very hard as Xbox One X struggle already with it 😓

@echoplex I think that's the reason, yep.

@Jfarriol Thanks. Confusion comes from the fact the classic IPS V2 screen is far less good than the FunnyPlaying IPS V2 screen.
I might contact them to get the clarification

@mesome713 You can find micro SD adaptators for Vita on amazon to fix that. Never tried it but it seems like a game changer

@cLock1358 It's not that pricy compared to all the seperated parts buyed apart.

I'm interested in that as I was planning to buy a GBA this july and mod it.
I fell in love with this funnyplaying V2 IPS screen, which looks outstanding (V1 had tearing) :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQ9eK4e13_g
... and they say on the funnyplaying page on handheldlegend website, that they partnered with retrosix.

Can someone confirm to me that the screen in this "perfect GBA" is the funnyplaying one (V2) ?
I don't find the answer on retrosix's website.

If it is, I might be tempted to buy it

I have a question : when used in "fighter" mode, is the connection between the stick+buttons and the switch wireless ? Or is it a direct connection, like when the joy-cons are attached to the switch ?

It can change a lot to the lag. And the Switch in portable mode with joy-cons attached has an excellent low lag.

Looks like a great collection ... but no Infinity Gene, no buy.

They say they will add games later as add-ons. Maybe then...

This looks like a mystery case asking to be solved 🧐

Let's wait all those games have been revealed and then compare to that listing. Just for the fun.

Well, that happened before. And each time we didn't have more than 2 weeks to wait before knowing the names of the games.

With the unveiling of the first PS5 games this week, this is a very opportune moment for other publishers to unveil games, even on other platforms : they have the attention of gamers as never.

Gunstar Heroes 3. Bring it on.

@Tasuki A lot of users of the M30 report that its d-pad starts degrading after a few months and after one year it's a complete disaster. Only if you play it on a regular basis of course.

The very respected youtuber Modern Vintage Gamer bought 3 of them in one year and released that littlevideo a few days ago :
https://twitter.com/modernvintageg/status/1259583714838929408?s=21

Many filmed their M30 in response to confirm it's true.

And it's the same with other 8bitdo controllers, including super nintendo ones

@Zeldafan79 A lot. Mortal Kombat 1, Mortal Kombat 2, Street Fighter 2, Street Fighter Zero 1/2/3, Street Fighter 4, ...
A simple one-screen-text at the beginning and the end of an arcade mode for each character gave enough background and story to be enjoyable.
MK9/10/11 are just as good written as a bad Z movie or even a porn movie : I skip those horrible dialogues and get to the point.

To be fair, Street Fighter 5´s story mode is even more atrocious.

@keihtg Oh I didn't knew that. That solves the problem. Thanks.
(but I won't get the pre-order kostumes... well, I'll get over it)

I'm fed up with that. Story mode is garbage in the last three games :

• Some kombatants enter a room, say "Where are we" or "where is it or "where is he/are them"
• Surpriiiise, another kombatant(s) enter the room. You have to fight him/them.
• After winning, you/they learn where they have to go
• Repeat that scene around 50 times.

There you go, "story mode". Put some black bars to make it cinematic (easy) even if almost all the shots during the whole story mode are just to film the dialogues, which is the total opposit of the definition of "cinematic".

I love MK11 but paying 40$ for only three kombatants and some hours of this garbage "Story Mode" is too much. I'll wait for a sale this time. 15$/€ seems the fair price for 3 characters.

Stage Fatalities at last. Can't wait to see the one in the insect's hive.

Wait, what ? I don't get it : this "blast processing" sounds like two complete different things which happen to have the same name. They're not at all the same technique. It's like comparing the movies The Avengers (1998) and The Avengers (2012) as they have the same name.
So... what's the big deal exactly ?

I would have been more interested if he talked about the lag in his MK1 port though

I have been playing MK8 again during quarantine and yes, it's still a fantastic games. But I know those tracks by heart since 6 years.

Can't wait for a MK9. Even if, as someone said in those comments, that will be strange to have two Mario Kart on the same system.
Maybe MK9 will take advantage on a future Switch Pro ?...

Speaking of the next Mario Kart, don't you think it's time for one ?
Mario Kart 8 is 6 years old now (how time flies o__O)

Never played Thunderforce III. That's the opportunity !
Great to see the Sega Ages collection expanding to new titles

@KitsuneNight It can come from many factors, I'm not a doctor.

But you have to know what stress is because I didn't really (I thougt I did). If it can help...
Stress = thinking of something that already happened or something that has not happened yet.
No stress = feeling the moment right now.

@N64-ROX Totally agree with you. And that's why I'm gonna get a 11ms input lag TV : I don't feel today any input latency with that number.

By the way, the Switch in portable mode has an input lag I can't perceive. I don't know how much it is but it's far under 20ms.

It's one of the most responsiv way to play to modern games today.

@KitsuneNight I was exactly like you a few years ago : not feeling input lag and not seeing the difference between 30 and 60fps. The reason for me was chronical stress.

I started doing meditation every day since five years, which slows your brain every day a little more, and oh boy can I see the difference today o____O

It did increase my skills in video games too

@WiltonRoots @KitsuneNight Some people try to "see" or "hear" input lag but it is really a question about how you "feel" a game in your hands. You might not see it but in the end, the whole experience is ruined because of the lack of responsiveness of the game. Even on a turn-based game like a tactical-RPG.

I became aware of input lag a few months after getting an 61ms input lag TV. It's enormous ! But it felt ok the day I tried it and bought it. A few months later, I realized my envy of playing videogames was fading like ice under the sun. It didn't felt fun anymore.

I suddenly had the idea to plug my PS4 into my desktop PC screen (which I don't use for gaming) and it felt absolutly responsiv ! It was FUN to play again.

A few weeks later, I bought a TV with 21ms input lag and it felt great again. One year after, I bought a PVM (professionnal CRT) for retrogaming, which has no input lag at all, and I realized how 21ms had in fact already an effect on the pleasure of playing.

Going by a friend house, I tried a 11ms TV on a combat game (MK11), and it felt awesome : I was litteraly feeling that I was giving punchs and kicks again, which I was not on the 21ms TV, where there was a very small delay that made a big difference in term of feeling.

So now, after this covid-19 storm, I will buy such a TV.

Input lag is really an invisible and silent plague that kills the pleasure of playing videogames. Even if you don't notice it.

I love RE4 but to be honest, it feels RE4 plays like a tank today. Yes, a tank. The character is slow to turn and move. It really deserves a new gameplay revision.

As for the graphics, they are from the CRT era and not the digital one. Even the 1080p remasters are not as beautiful as the original game on a CRT.

So yes, it deserve a remake.

@TomKnows Well, as for the native side, I don't take it as a documentary but more as a fantasy. A nightmare fantasy. "What if" this kind of people existed.
That was the purpose of the filmakers and that's what I expect when I start to watch this kind of movie.

But really, this movie is difficult for me but most of the others from Deodato don't have this kind of problems. Ultimo Mondo Cannibale is great from A to Z !

@FatHedgehog Best comment of the day 😂

@Shambo Same here. On the exact same scene.
I took a one week break to resume the movie.

@Damo Yeah, you're absolutely right.
Let's be clear : I totally admire Ruggero Deodato as a director.
It was different times.

"Ultimo mondo cannibale", one of his other movies, is for me a total masterpiece. With an even better soundtrack than Cannibal Holocaust ! Here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LHfAMQHo7w
And no animals were killed in this one

I still love and hate this movie.
I love it because it's one hell of a ride, with awesome directing.
It created the "found footage" genre in a brillant way.
It's also one gorgeous soundtrack, by Riz ortolani, that I listen to very regularly !

I hate it because they killed real animals in front of the camera.
It was different times, I know, but I can't watch the movie anymore because of that.
I really can't stand it.

I'm very curious and excited about this surprise video game sequel !

I like always to remind that Charles Martinet did play in a David Fincher movie.

He plays Michael Douglas's father in the opening credits of THE GAME, and its flashbacks : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lssVpQ-0Xew

The low pace of Sega Ages releases right now gives me hope that they are working on parallel on some new more audacious releases, like Saturn & Dreamcast games. Fingers crossed !

And cool for G-Loc.

@AtlanteanMan : I will support the cause too !

I totally agree Enchanted Portals should be prevented to exist as it copies Cuphead's style.

And I think Cuphead should be prevented to exist as it strongly copied/pasted all its style from the cartoons of the 1920's-40's.

As long as we are there,, we should bannish Mortal Kombat and Tekken : they are just copies of Street Fighter 2.

And Sonic because it's a copy of Mario.

@gaga64 Wow, you're sensitive.

@Crockin turns out... absolutly not
I was about to stop the video too when he appeared on screen...

@Crockin You obviously just watched the first half of the scene. The definitiv model is in the second half

And I really believe Mario Kart 9 and a new big 3D Mario (Mario Odissey 2 ?) are more around the corner than people think.

As Emily Rogers said on twitter a few days ago, "good year to be a plumber". I trust her.

I guess we could easily have :

• Super Mario All Stars on the Super Nintendo Online system.
• One remaster of a big 3D Mario game like Mario Galaxy 1(&2) or Mario Sunshine.
• Super Mario 3D World
• One Super Paper Mario or something like that

But ALL OF THEM ? That would be weird.

Great news. Especially as the Genesis/Megadrive and Super Nintendo versions cost a lot !

@echoplex I was like you. Since 10 years, I'm not anymore.
And I miss the good old times.

But what can I do ? Sell everything I didn't play ?
I'm more and more not paying attention to my backlog and not buying everything. And it kinda work.

@echoplex You're a saint !

"Unless there is a game you’ve been extremely excited about and it goes on sale for the low price of “I absolutely cannot ignore this deal or I’ll be ashamed of myself for paying a higher price later,”"

NO NO NO NO. Even if it's super cheap. DON'T.
One game at a time. ONE.

If it's a game you really want to play, it will be worth the price you'll put in it.
Sales are just here for the publisher and the store to make money.

I think they started working on it when the Witcher 3 was finished.
As all sequels.

@TheWingedAvenger It is indeed ! ^^

@TheWingedAvenger My mystake.
I mixed it with Galaxy Force II !

I erase my original post. Thanks.

Sonic 2 DESERVES the Sega Ages treatment.
It just deserved to be release sooner, along with Sonic 1 for exemple, and all other classics. Those classics are great on my Switch but it feels like we get only great games we already had on 3DS. Virtua Racing aside of course.

Ichidant-R is a well unknown and welcomed addition to the Sega Ages on Switch, but it's not a memorable game.

The best Sega Ages Collection by far for now is still the one on PS2 : Dynamic Headdy, Alien Soldier, ...
I wish for more Treasure games like McDonald's Treasure Island, Yu Yu Hackusho or Guardian Heroes.
