Retro Gamer forum

Hi, just thought i'd drop my PS3 username in mad_richie_rich . Currently playing Modern Warfare, LBP and Beatles Rock Band.
Only a just for fun gamer...("just4fun" = not very good)
Cheers...

I got Beatles Rock Band today, looks and sounds excellent but i can't seem to hit a note, dont understand why tried callibrating and syncing but just can't hit anything. I am using GH3 guitar, will that make a difference, tried using WII rock band guitar/Datel crossplay but that doesn't even work......

I was bought a SEGA MEGADRIVE with about 10 games (Sonic, Splatterhouse 2) by my lovely wife even though she moans about me collecting consoles. Also got a 60g PS3 and i'm very impressed with it, i've been picking up games for £10 or less... Now i just need somewhere to put everything... http://myps...

Hi,I'm considering makeing an arcade cab and putting a megadrive in it. What I need to know, is there a cartridge availiable that u can put a memory card (full of roms) in it...
I've had no luck trying to google it...
Any help will be much appreciated......

Picked up an old XBOX from crack converters, no games, just want to use it for emulation, but can't find anyone to chip it round here, also just been offered a megadrive II with games for a tenner, overall a good week......

Wahhey! Cheers. Now back to the topic.. Is there a specific dashboard to use for the emulators?

Still can't display it, explain it again but slower...(old age!) thanks..

How good is the xbox for emulating, i find my laptop has issues with speed and sounds on some emulators....i know theres nothing better than playing on the original machine, but i just havent got the time and the space to set them up! (Busy family man)...
P.s how do i display my gamercard?

What's the difference between a Hard Modded and a Soft Modded? Can u get a hd component cable for the original xbox?

Thinking of getting an xbox purely foe old school emulation, spectrum, C64, Amstrad etc....Is it worth it, is it easy to do?. I wan't to hook it up to a 32" lcd, whats the best lead?..Can you put any size Hard Drive in?...Any help would be greatly appreciated
