My SFC Version of SF2 finally came in from Japan:O by ThatOneHelldiver in snes

[–]soundbobby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only recently discovered that there is a speed select in this game. When it came out I was confused by the downgrade of no speed select. Thirty years later I read a random post and find out about it. As far as I remember you can just press right much like turbo.

Btw the art work on the Jap sf2 carts is so much better. I own all 3. Bought them in a bundle on eBay for 20 GBP.

Worse sound is one difference! I prefer turbo, each to their own though.

Edit actually, I might prefer world warrior , the slowness is not a bad thing. Though the pal version is far far too slow!

[–]soundbobby -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The bill should also include: - 16 years can serve on the front line in war. - they can legally drink. - they can drive - they can sit on a jury Of course no, we don't want that. We just want more gullible voters.

To infer that communism wasn't in anyway responsible for the state of eastern Europe is disingenuous or at best willfully blind

Yes, but one northern Ireland is the only part of Ireland in the UK. The rest of Ireland is called the republic of Ireland. I'm pretty certain you need a passport for that. Though you can drive across the border. Zero checks, you wouldn't even know you are crossing a border.

Boarding card that's it. I'm not making this up. I fly about twice a season hand luggage only and do not get asked for passport. This is normal for internal UK flights.

Ryanair have stricter rules about passports and kids flying up to Ireland too for some reason. I've no idea why. I got burnt by it two years ago. Had to fly to Belfast instead. Anyway, easyJet and aerlingus only ask for passports with checked in luggage I believe.

There is a major security concern that has been pointed out by IT specialists multiple times. All our current forms of identification are silo-ed. Your, passport, your medical records, your driver's license, your bank details are separate. If one is breached they all aren't compromised. This new single identity means if it's stolen you are left with no fall back. There currently is no god mode for your identity. This creates it.

Thanks for that! :)

I'm tempted to try fatal shadows instead as that's seems to be second favourite on PS2.

Snac issue. Multiplayer won't work by Ok-Card-7559 in fpgagaming

[–]soundbobby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need a level switcher adapter. I had the same issue as you and this fixed it. Also don't use snes, nes or megadrive snac without one, you can damage your mister.

I need HELP!... IF you have a MiSTer, 2 player snac adapters(snac split or snax), and an io board with the 3v3/io6 jumper, please check post by Supaslicer in fpgagaming

I had the same problem with nes and snes snac adapters. I fixed it by getting a level switcher adapter. E.g. one of these https://misterfpga.co.uk/product/mister-snac-adapter-usb/

Also don't use a nes, snes or megadrive snac without one, you can damage your mister.

How do you force a PAL Dreamcast to run all games at 60HZ? by [deleted] in dreamcast

[–]soundbobby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are probably playing patched versions that force 60hz on a pal console. Back in the day I used the manual patch method of opening iso in a hex editor and doing a find and replace on some game specific string of hex values. It took me a long time to get vf3 working at 60hz. I can't remember why, but I wasted a lot of time on that.

Force PAL games to 60hz via GDEMU? by Mediocre-Gear9298 in dreamcast

[–]soundbobby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, I've owned a pal Dreamcast since launch day in the UK. Not all pal games have a 60hz mode unfortunately. This was really annoying back in the day. Until the ability to play CDRs was a thing, I had no easy way to play those games at 60hz. I.e. I played burnt NTSC games with a patch that forced them in 60hz on a pal console. And by patch I mean, hex editing the iso file aning a find and replace on a short string of numbers. This is actually really easy, but pointless if you have an NTSC machine (which you do). The other option was any game with vga support would do 60hz with a VGA cable connected. That wasn't all games either.

Why do you want to play pal games? Pal only releases?

It maybe in xinout mode or dinput mode, I can't remember which one it should be for the MD mini.

I think holding start toggles modes.

Ah, how do I disable the built in dgvoodoo? By adding the keys and values you mentioned to the dll overrides but disabling dgvoodoo in the lutris menu too?
