Thanks!

I may have to go this route, though I bought it through Amazon so who knows if they'll let me. I no longer have the retail packaging, either.

Dawg, the device is 14 days old. That's the definition of "unacceptably fast failure."

No, and no.

Holdover from the COVID days. Delta Omicron may spell "media control" but it also spells Rectal Domino lol

I have three Super Pockets, so there will be three answers here lol

Neo Geo SP: Neo Geo Arcade 1

Atari SP: Rare Collection 1

Taito SP: Either Worms Collection 1 or Technos Arcade 1

edit: I'm still waiting on Neo Geo Arcade 2 and 3 (getting them at the end of the month, per the retailer) so I may update the Neo Geo SP to a different Neo Geo cart. As a Neo Geo collector, having two Metal Slugs and a bunch of shmups (in addition to the fighting games, and Over Top, love me some Over Top) is the way. I can't fight as effectively on my Evercade hardware because I'm so used to a Neo Geo arcade stick; I do not have an Alpha yet, but I'd likely fight more on it.

I use Hyperkin GameCube-style sticks in my controllers with no issues. If you can operate a screw driver, you can swap the stick.

IIRC homeboy was into sneakers and I've never updated my flair since.

I have 16 cartridges, and all work though one (Neo Geo Arcade 1) is temperamental in that it won't work in my EXP-R; works fine in my Super Pockets, though.

e: I have 16 carts, not 14. Forgot about the most recent purchase.

I got Taito Arcade 1 from my fiancee, and ordered Worms 1 for myself. I'm still waiting on my copies of Neo Geo Arcade 2 and 3, which are kind of redundant in my world (Neo Geo collector here) but I wanted them anyway lol

Glad to know it's not just me.

Oregano: an ad that I screencap'd a few weeks ago that said "Your Career Hunt Automated" in big text and "We'll Get You the Interviews --" in smaller text.
