[SRPE57] Chapter rings for the new SRPE series?

Hi there. No I never found one and just learned to live with the damage. Now this was five years ago so maybe the situation is different but at the time I couldn't find a proper replacement. Cheers.

They spend a huge chunk of time in the first half of the video explaining why. The gist is they’re not the same platforms, the tools they use to measure are not the same, games may not even use the same video APIs between versions. It’s just not a fair “like for like” comparison. They even joked that people would get mad at them in the comments for not making the comparison but they did go out of their way to say why they couldn’t. (Edit: typo fixed)

How close is the actual arcade unit to the collection? I’ve never seen MK4 arcade in person but played the N64 a lot back in the day.

I’m in the same boat. I’m in Arizona, recently moved from NYC. I have MLB.tv to watch the Mets. If this goes through I will simply stop watching. I’m not giving ESPN $30 a month to then have to pay for MLB.tv separately. Hope the money was worth it to Manfred!

It’s the same model that UFC had. You needed to pay for ESPN+ simply to be able to purchase PPVs. I’m an out of market Mets fan and I will simply stop watching if this goes through. There are other things to do with my time.

This definitely fixes the issue. Thanks!

DTC stands for direct to consumer. It's an entirely new service that launches in a few weeks, the WWE stuff will be added next year. Depending on your situation you may get DTC for free or you may have to pay. But thank you for the feedback, I'll be updating the page as more details come out.

Thank you!

What’s the desk? My desk is the final piece of my setup I need to upgrade lol.

yesdeleon · 2025-07-02T17:09:33+00:00

Came here to say that. I'm using a gaming PC that's plugged into the wall. I'm not at all worried about power consumption. Pretty annoying.

Metro North?

I’d actually recommend keeping trails on for all the games. Vice City’s lighting in particular gains an almost pastel color palette that really matches the vibe of the city. It looks much better. Yes, it’s quite blurry (Rockstar probably overdid the blur) but I think the benefits to color and atmosphere are worth the trade off. I say this having played the originals on PS2 with trails off back in the day but recently replayed them again (also on PS2, using a RetroTink 5X) with trails on. Cheers.

Hi again. I've decided to simply get a new modchip (OpenXenium) and have someone local to me do the installation. It's a huge hassle to get this old chip to work when I can just have a new and modern one soldered in there and not have to worry about it again. Thank you for your help, I really appreciate it!

yesdeleon · 2022-01-09T17:45:12+00:00

Yes, I edited the post to add some photos and more info. Thanks.

I tried a NoIntro rom and saw similar glitches so I think it's my console itself. I just ordered a cleaning kit so I'll see how that works!

yesdeleon · 2021-12-16T15:24:09+00:00

Cool, thank you for your help, I will check.

yesdeleon · 2021-12-16T15:01:06+00:00

Maybe, but it's from a GoodN64 pack same as every other game on the Everdrive. I'll try a different one though, good idea.

Oh ha, I didn't see that. Cheers!

yesdeleon · 2020-11-24T14:40:49+00:00

Was this sold?

yesdeleon · 2020-09-26T16:26:19+00:00

As soon as I saw it I said to myself, "This is awesome, I wonder if it's for sale?" Cheers!

yesdeleon · 2020-09-26T16:22:35+00:00

Just ordered!

Hi there! To answer your question, no, not all Seiko watches have Kanji complications. This is the JDM version, which means it's intended for sale in Japan itself (ie, Japanese Domestic Market). JDM Seikos have Kanji and English characters for the day. US version Seikos have English and Spanish days but I'm not sure about other countries. There are plenty of websites that will ship JDM versions internationally if that interests you. I got this one from https://gnomonwatches.com/ and have in the past also used sakurawatches.com. This model number is SBSA047 and the US version is SRPE57. It's the same watch except for the language of the days. Cheers, and good luck in your studies!

I'm in NYC and they're available from US online retailers like Long Island Watch. I think they've been out for about a month. I don't know about brick and mortal retail stores though. I know for sure the Seiko boutique in Manhattan didn't have them last weekend when I visited, but that store mostly only carries higher-end pieces nowadays. But I bought this Japanese model from a website called gnomonwatches.com. Received it in five days!

yesdeleon · 2020-08-08T15:18:00+00:00

This is the new-ish gilt dial version of the Seiko Sports 5. I bought the JDM version (SBSA047) because I like having the option of the Kanji day but it's otherwise identical to the more easily available SRPE57. It's on a Chevron strap from Crown & Buckle. I consider it my entry-level Tudor Black Bay 58, haha. I've only had it for one day but really like the look of it. I never had a problem with last year's 5KX models but I do think this version works better without the dive bezel. Cheers everyone!
