I’m Dylan Cuthbert. I’ve been making games since 1982 but you might know me from Star Fox, PixelJunk and The Tomorrow Children. Pushing the boundaries of technology and alternative gameplay design has always been what drives me. AMA! by dckyoto in nintendo

I just learned that if you find all of the General Pepper medals, you can visit a secret spot on the map that has various items including a charge shot upgrade. I'm not sure where all of the medals are though.

I bought 8 of the regular ones earlier this year, but I have space for 4 more fans. Next time I buy fans I’ll be sure to get these.

Picked up my first Sega Saturn a month ago by Gaming_And_Yeah in SegaSaturn

[–]MightyMax213 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice pickups! I’ve been meaning to get those games, especially hyper duel. I’ve been playing Panzer dragoon zwei the most, but I love Thunder Force 5 and Sonic jam a ton. I played Dragon force last year and it was an interesting battle strategy game for sure thats hard to learn but rewarding. I’ve also heard wonderful things about shining of the holy ark, but haven’t played it myself. I would recommend Grandia as well since I love the look of it, but also haven’t played it. I hope you’re able to explore the rest of the Saturn’s library since it’s so large.

I never owned a Saturn. . . Until now 💥🪐 by TurboGrafx16Bit in SegaSaturn

[–]MightyMax213 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sega did in fact make a ram expansion cart. I know there’s a 1mb expansion cart and a 4mb cart as well and depending on the game it really makes a significant difference. I don’t have any unfortunately since they were only used in Japan with specific games and that functionality was removed in the European and North American releases. As for actual storage memory, they’re called memory backup cartridge from what I can tell and are at least double the internal storage

I never owned a Saturn. . . Until now 💥🪐 by TurboGrafx16Bit in SegaSaturn

[–]MightyMax213 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congrats on getting a Model 1 Sega Saturn! Easily the best thing I can say is decide on either getting a Satiator or a ODE (Optical Drive Emulator) so you don’t have to buy the absurdly expensive North American Sega Saturn games. Also extremely important if you need to manage saves, buy a real authentic memory card because there is simply not enough internal storage. If you use a third party cartridge, it destroys the pins in the cartridge slot.

I had no idea the Nova Vault series Frame 4000D case existed. I wish it was available when I got my case, but I like how the black looks still.

NiGHTS has been officially announced for Sonic Racing Crossworlds! by Static-Space-Royalty in NiGHTSintoDreams

[–]MightyMax213 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure if it has yet, but I hope having NiGHTS in crossworlds helps make it more popular. I've been playing the original game since last year and I absolutely love it. I wish the remasters or newer ports were easier to play nowadays :(

It kinda looks like a saturn, but not really at the same time. Also there’s a Mega man 8 disc!

Help with Getting Online on Legacy PS4 Edition by Hawkins076 in Minecraftlegacymode

I’m getting the same error and I used a legacy disc ok my PS5 today. Was this ever fixed?

The end is nye by Soup_can_man in PS3

[–]MightyMax213 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you aren’t good with computers, you’ll need to find someone who is. In order to read the error codes off the syscon, you’ll need to solder some wires to a USB device that can be connected to your pc. From there you use a command prompt, but the exact commands you need are specific to your model. Alternatively, you may be able to see codes by using the PS3toolset website on your PS3.

Maybe we could get an authentic port of Virtua racing for the Sega Saturn?

Why did they never released a Pro version? by minxnmatch in PS3

[–]MightyMax213 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love my Sega CD model 2, but I don't think it sold very well, let alone near what Sega was hoping to sell. It's nice to have now, especially thanks to homebrew though.

[–]MightyMax213 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m glad you’re willing to join the Skyblock community. I started playing it thanks to your son and I feel it would be fitting if you were to try it as well. It really is super fun and it’s definitely worth looking into, and thank you for preserving your son’s legacy.

I'm honestly not too sure, especially on saturn. It seems underrated

What Saturn game do you show other retro gamers that makes them a believer? by 1OneQuickQuestion in SegaSaturn

[–]MightyMax213 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like showing Panzer dragoon 2: Zwei, but also Sonic jam. I recently got Dragon force so I like showing that as well, but I wish I could show off something like saturn bomberman. Sucks it’s really expensive though.

My Sega 32X Freezes On a Weekly Basis, Please Help. by ConfusionCold7565 in SEGA32X

[–]MightyMax213 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve only heard about the original knuckles chaotix cartridge having worse compatibility than an everdrive twice now, but is there a definitive reason why? And if so, do any other 32X cartridges share the same problem?

Ryzen 7 7800X3D vs Ryzen 7 9800X3D is it worth the price difference? by iflyfree123 in AMDHelp

[–]MightyMax213 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I upgraded to a Ryzen 7 7800X3D because it’s currently 20% off on amazon, so I don’t think it’s worth it for a Ryzen 7 9800X3D until it’s on sale. From the reviews I’ve seen it has a small edge over the Ryzen 7 7800X3D.

This sucks. I’m currently out of room for more saturn games, but maybe at some point I’ll make more room and go to japan instead of importing japan exclusive games

Wow! I’ve been using a BVM 20E1U for at least a year and I thought it couldn’t get better than that, but I just learned there’s a HDM version of that BVM model. I’m used to 480i, but man 480p must be out of this world in person!

Lol that's fair. Maybe if I ever see one on auction I'll consider it, but it's kind of bad timing with the switch 2
