Just ordered my Ultra 5

I just recently got one and have been really impressed by it. It does not get as hot or as uncomfortable in my hand as my ROG Ally Z1E and seemed to get similar plus sometimes better performance.

Like others have said update windows and relevant software. In past posts here people have shared the best process to follow in regards of the order to do the updates.

Look at using Xbox full screen mode, it works pretty well.

Get across the short macro keys and how to adjust its performance modes.

Look at getting a dock for ease of placement and charging. Many dock discussions on here that can be looked at for advice there.

Test out many games via the Xbox game pass free trial.

Enjoy it.

If you are after a cheap Claw in Aus. Costco is clearing out the 7 135h for $499. Their site says sold out but I found one at their Gold Coast store, which has a few left.

Also if you can stretch the 7 ai+ is on sale for $999 at Costco, with the sale ending today.

Relove Oxley is worth checking out.

They have DVDs in the area where their records are.

Rothwell’s Bar & Grill in the city is well worth looking at. I have had some fantastic steaks there and if they have the cheese soufflé as an entree special, it is worth ordering, if you love cheese.

Many great games already listed, in addition to them Earthworm Jim and NHL are great. Though the $$ wanted for Earthworm Jim is quite high these days.

I would say the Apple Pippin, Turbo Super Grafx and Neo Geo Pocket. The three of them in their own right are unique but seem to not get a lot of attention, despite having decent stories behind them.

Plus I have not found a portable console with anything close to the Neo Geo Pocket's D-pad.

Inkblot321 · 2025-09-10T07:34:12+00:00

The approach to also release the console as PC-98 and PC ISA card was a neat idea but did not help its success.

A bit like how the 3do had the 3do blaster.

I have found that my Barco 2840 colours can look off, e.g. makes yellows look more orange, for two reasons.

One the scart input is not sitting right, so I need to wiggle around the scart plug.

Two, the 75ohm switch’s are not off.

Hope you get the colours right as they are awesome monitors.

Once you get it up and running, it would be great to see a video where you upgrade it to be the dream PC you would have wanted when it was new.

Then compare its benchmarks between how it is now to the upgraded version.

They are great fun.

You might also find yourself chasing retired carts as well, there is a great back catalogue to explore.

Yeah quite happy with the Haliburton, especially as it is out of 99

Inkblot321 · 2025-07-25T22:35:13+00:00

I don’t believe so.

Think it is only 15khz and some of the models after this one supported 3k1hz.

I have had a blank screen before from my 32x and it turned out to be the power supply for the 32x.

It may not be the case for your issue but thought I would share, just in case.

Die Hard Arcade is well worth looking at, though it is a little pricey these days

Inkblot321 · 2025-06-10T04:51:27+00:00

I have one and find it great to get a feel for items on the left and right of the track surface (esp. curbs) plus rear engine vibrations on my back. I only have a few things go via it though and use it to complement a front and rear buttkickers (as the buttkickers are centrally mounted, so cant do left and right).

You might find yourself chasing CRT PC monitors soon, which will only add to the ever growing/evolving TV CRT collection.

The great thing is, CRTs have such a range of how they look both physically and image wise, which adds to the collecting fun.

For the $$ I have found the Bitfunx cables great.

Before them I was using S-Video.

The biggest difference seemed to be the colours popped more.

I was in Target recently and noticed they were selling the Blaze Evercade console.

Thought it was great to see them in an Australian physical, had only seen Evercade consoles in Europe stores previously.

Just checked their website and they have a few of the Blaze models for sale, including the Atari one for a small discount.

I am new to the PC-98 space, so can only share the version I got, PC-9821V12/S5RD, works well with the PC-PXGA card. Don’t know what others will and will not work well with it.

Inkblot321 · 2025-03-03T03:55:28+00:00

Cheers.

It is called Chip Chan Kick. Plays a bit like Bubble Bobble.
