Posted by substance J on October 19, 2019 at 11:36:28 EST in reply to It's amusing to follow this conversation while there are several active threads on this board (!) to the effect of "I can't tell if my GP32/everdrive/multiflash/doctor V still works, does anybody remember how to use this thing???" How many half-flashed semi-official pieces of hardware do we each own at this point? But my takeaway from the state of trying-to-maintain-your-gaming-collection is... exhaustion. When I visited my collection in Idaho over the summer, all my Playstation-compatible systems appeared to have died, my Turbo Everdrive that was stuck booting to one ROM no longer boots at all, two standalone DVD players no longer worked, along with the DVD drive in my tower PC. And I'm suspicious that some of my VHS-to-DVD burns have gone blank (or I forgot to finalize them in my hurry to transfer before the tapes rotted). On top of all that, the $3,000 / 200 lb Sony XBR TV that served as the centerpiece of my collection since 2003 is still somewhere in California because it was too massive to move. Meanwhile I'm in Virginia playing a Genesis Mini on a Samsung TV with no good solution for simulated scanlines. [shrugging ascii face] (n/t) from substance J.

The Genesis Mini is a really nice package, by the way. I've been wanting to mention that here. Even if I already own all the good games on it.
