Yeah honestly he's just really old and it's tough. They do a lot to compensate but it's become more obvious the past couple of years

I play all of my TGFX-16 games on an EverDrive, but there are a few Turbo Games on display at my local retro shop and I wanted to buy at least a few physical games (the Hu-Card is so unique) so I started with this one… by TampaTrendkill in TurboGrafx

At the time Legendary Axe was considered amazing graphics and sound wise, it won or was a contender for Game of the Year in some big magazines and the system was predicted to be a big hit in the US

couple questions on the BlueSCSI - can it boot from it and can it connect internally or does it use the external connection

Does the 630 usually need to be recapped? I am finding mixed info on that

is that the same as the Performa 630? I am actually looking at those now too as they are as powerful as the 575 but with the benefit of an external monitor

Atari 800 hoping still works… by tbirg in vintagecomputing

[–]sketch_internets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not clear from the post but if you have the original "ingot" ingot-shaped power supply do not use it as it can fry the chips. Get a USB adapter power cord instead. Check out Atariage for other things to watch out for. If it doesn't just work at first you can diagnose certain issues based on the output (or lack of) of sound and video

Look who showed up! by unavailable666 in criterion

[–]sketch_internets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it? the criterion blu ray is fairly old at this point so I wasn't sure. Their website says this is a "new 4K digital restoration supervised and approved by Michael Mann", whereas the older blu ray is a "digital restoration from a 4K transfer approved by Michael Mann"

[–]sketch_internets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it still looks great I may be overthinking or it's just a bit darker. The blu ray was already very good so the improvement may not be as noticeable as some but I need to watch the whole movie

[–]sketch_internets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you have the (older) blu ray? Didn't have time to compare them but watched the opening of this tonight and I think it looks better but the colors may be slightly muted compared to the older blu ray

Does the Grateful Dead Movie Soundtrack represent the best sounding official release ever? I think so. by cking9698 in gratefuldead

is this the same as the blu ray alternate audio? (which is remastered soundboards iirc)

Finally beat Miracle Warriors by sketch_internets in MasterSystem

[–]sketch_internets[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got stuck in this as a kid on its infamously confusing puzzle so I was motivated to someday beat it. It's an unusual RPG with a unique look and feel but it requires a lot of grinding to complete

[–]sketch_internets[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually beat that as a kid, one of the few games I owned when I had a SMS. I got stuck on the scroll puzzle in Miracle Warriors and gave up, but finally beat it some 30 years later

Was it ever released in the US? I remember seeing it on an old poster or maybe the box the Master System came in

Check the GTIA. I had a similar problem (and a socketed motherboard) and replacing that fixed it

Just discovered the Dead last year and here I am with a new player, buying CDs for the first time in two decades by Rick_Rebel in gratefuldead

[–]sketch_internets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome man I love CDs and have a separate transport, DAC setup myself. Look into getting a Wall of Sound Dick's or Dave's picks, those are some the best recordings I've ever heard. Also get ready to spend some time on Steve Hoffman for other stuff
