The 3DO port of Samurai Shodown catches a lot of flack, but I gotta say. if I actually owned a 3DO as a kid (and not just now as an overgrown manchild) and someone handed this to me to play in 1995, I would have been extremely happy with it. I guess what I'm saying is, thank

Just might be the one and only case where I have absolutely no problem with a sort of (not really) still commercially available game being pirated. With the release of the source code for the modified Genesis Plus GX core (which is necessary to play the ROM), there's a chance we.

(2/2) There's now proper RGB SCART support for PAL consoles (something the original game lacked), as well as a controller-agnostic way to exit "Bonus Mode", and more!. See the full changelog below.

And now the Wuxi kit installation saga is complete! I may still do something to better secure down the top FC cable there, but it really doesn't harm anything to just kind of "float" like that.

(4/4) If you're interested in buying your own Gamer's Cartridge, scroll down to the order form here: Remember, since this device is using Pseudo Saturn Kai, it's also a powerhouse for those using burned discs too!

(3/4) If you'd like to use the shell style that allows for a sticker, you can download labels here: Those images can be printed by using any number of services (or done at home). @KanjiCRT recently used and they turned out well.

(2/4) This cartridge typically comes in a decent quality transparent shell, but customers can buy a discounted standalone PCB, then use a 3D printing service like @craftcloud3d to print their own shells. You can find the custom STLs here:

(1/4) The Gamer's Cartridge by @SaturnCafeAlpha is such an underrated, awesome device for Saturn enthusiasts!. Using with Rhea/Phoebe or Fenrir, you not only get built-in cheats, but also virtual per-game save RAM! Hell, it even emulates external memory cards and floppy drive!

So Mike implements an awesome smooth 240p/480i resolution switching feature to his RetroTink 4K and then, in true Chi fashion, fucking backports it to the 5X!. If ever there were proof that this man does everything in the best interests of his users, it's in moments like this.
