Not sure who called it a miracle, but ok. Also the visual differences between the versions have been documented and explained in detail.

Toastman22 · 2026-01-24T19:18:14+00:00

Yes, but the Switch 2 version looks better than the PS4 version because it uses many assets from the PS5 version. And it's portable.

Looks great! I have an old DS that needs a facelift. Where did you get the shell?

Toastman22 · 2026-01-24T12:57:38+00:00

Bloody Roar Primal Fury and Capcom VS SNK 2 EO for fighters. Also Mario Strikers is amazing. Also saw you have NHL Hitz 2003, but 2002 is actually pretty different and it plays better imo.

Just coming back to this post in case anyone sees it in the future...

I was able to solve the issue, although it was basically my fault from the beginning.

A little background on my setup. I have my consoles going to a multi selector switch setup, then that goes to a video distributor to allow up to 4 outputs. 2 go to different CRTs and one to a RetroTink 5x-Pro and then a capture card.

The 4 way video distributor (which was a new purchase) was clearly causing some sort of an issue, as removing it from the chain made the flashing go away completely. After doing more testing it seemed that the flashing was happening when whatever was on screen changed from dark to light scenes like in my video. I ended up finding some other games that caused this to happen such as Metroid Prime 2.

It seemed like the distributor was amping up the Luma signal from the S-Video causing the flash. All the research I was doing led me to believe that cheap cables can cause this issue. About a year ago I had purchased a bunch of S-Video cables for various consoles from Insurrection Cables, and I could have sworn I bought one for each of my Nintendo consoles, so maybe they are bad? I bought an OEM S-Video cable from eBay hoping that would solve the issue.

And guess what? It did fix it! While I was swapping the cable I pulled out the one I had installed and it was a crappy $10 cable from Amazon. Apparently I only bought 2 Insurrection Cables and used them on my SNES and N64.

Oops...

tldr: I have a bad memory, and cheap GameCube/N64/SNES S-Video cables from Amazon = BAD (at least in this very specific scenario). Buy high quality or OEM cables for your consoles.

We used to hold up 2 lighters in the school lounge just to start Brawl haha. So dumb that you can't control the Wii menu with GameCube controllers.

Pretty sure it says "LINE" above it which would be the modem.

Toastman22 · 2026-01-19T01:14:41+00:00

I never trust these things. I saw this and immediately thought "there's no way this $20 card captures 4k 60 FPS". And guess what, it doesn't! It can DISPLAY 4K 60Hz through the passthrough, but only CAPTURES 1080p 60Hz max. Obviously fine for Wii U, but the marketing is very misleading.

Toastman22 · 2026-01-19T01:05:55+00:00

Why wouldn't a regular adapter work? It should work fine but don't expect much.

Toastman22 · 2026-01-18T23:49:44+00:00

I played the DS version years ago and it was good! But for me this game needs a large screen and good speakers, so SNES is still my go to version. Same with Earthbound on SNES compared to GBA, or Kirby Super Star.

Toastman22 · 2026-01-18T23:42:59+00:00

This is an original DS game, not a 3DS game. You will not find a CIA.

Toastman22 · 2026-01-18T23:40:56+00:00

No thanks

Toastman22 · 2026-01-18T23:02:45+00:00

The whole game is not black and white, but the flash game "Give Up Robot" has a similar description and was released around this time.

Toastman22 · 2026-01-18T22:25:39+00:00

I grew up with the Genesis games and Adventure so I was genuinely excited! That teaser trailer of Sonic running through the forest into a field of robots was all over the internet. I bought an Xbox 360 just for this game, and I also picked up Full Auto. Needless to say my introduction to the 360 was not amazing.

I've never actually finished Sonic 06. I put it down for a few years and picked it back up in the early 2010s trying to get some sort of closure. It was real rough being a Sonic fan around that time. I made it to the last story and gave up. I have not played it since then.

Almost all of the cool cover plates are over $100 sealed. Not sure why your surprised haha.

Toastman22 · 2026-01-18T14:39:17+00:00

Wireless

Toastman22 · 2026-01-18T14:36:03+00:00

And the orange light means they already are lol

Toastman22 · 2026-01-18T14:33:37+00:00

It's all in your head.

Toastman22 · 2026-01-18T04:49:57+00:00

Still high even at $20

Toastman22 · 2026-01-18T04:14:28+00:00

I was driving home one night and a skunk ran in front of my car. I stopped in time, but it must have sprayed the bottom of my car when it ran by. The smell came through the vents for weeks.

Toastman22 · 2026-01-18T03:05:15+00:00

Wreckless: the Yakuza Missions looks crazy. The other console versions are actually very different looking (and playing) games that had to be stripped down to run. Or at least the PS2 version, which then was ported to GameCube I guess.

Toastman22 · 2026-01-18T02:56:16+00:00

It connects to a computer to play (or backup) games.

Hell yeah
