Nope, never played before and was thinking of playing it next, but a forumer told me he took 80 hours to gather everything in that game.. kinda put off for me straight away

I do believe neogeo is owning a JP MD, so inserting cartridges from any region shouldn't be a problem.. unless mine is modified without my knowledge

Does Mega CD have region lock hardware wise? I know the games can be bypassed through a cart, but not so sure about the hardware itself. Most probably neogeo is getting a JP Mega CD anyway I guess.

And what about 32X? I think it's region locked right? If that's the case JP MD owners would be doomed, since JP 32X games either sucks or overpriced. 3rotor might be able to enlighten us a bit here :here:

shareza have those too?

My dream Mega CD1

Yeah, modded to display on a JAMMA cabinet. I don't have an arcade cabinet or else I'd mod all my consoles to play on it

I used to own a PAL CDX, then switched to US CDX with PAL CDX case swap so can insert cartridge from any region

Any particular Saturn game you are looking for shahreza? Or what Saturn game are you playing now?

Are you planning to get US or JP Guardian Heroes? And regarding shmup, you must play Battle Garegga, which IMO much better than RSG

Buy the game (Battle Garegga), beat the game once (don't care how many credits) and watch the superplay and learn why this game is unversally recognized as the shmup with deepest mechanics. Every time you suicide, collect item, bombing and even how rapid you shoot affects the game difficulty I'm still learning this game every time I play it.

Added on January 31, 2009, 7:06 pmI wonder how do you guys maintain your retro consoles Curious because that's what I'm doing right now

Well you need to keep them running for hours once in a while or else the internal batteries (irreplaceable) will die

I think I bought it for $80.. can't really remember

I don't really have specific way to keep up the retros, just turn them on for hours once a while to make sure the lens still reading and battery still running. Also keep them out from the sun, especially white/grey consoles

How come? I never have any problem with my DC controllers before

Oh, it's a problem with the controller port, not the controllers. You must be pluggin in and unplug while your DC is on? Never do that

If it's burnt then you need a replacement. Do you play DC on VGA? It's gorgeous

RE:CV sadly is one of them

He just bought it recently I believe Still a newbie

Some shmups you shouldn't miss on Saturn shahreza:
1. Battle Garegga
2. Batsugun (ancestor)
3. Cotton 2
4. Cotton Boomerang
5. Thunder Force V
6. Layer Section
7. Shienryu

Those Strikers 1945 and DonPachis are better on PS1

I couldn't get into those old Thunderforce anymore Plus their price is too steep so not going to collect those. Deathsmiles dated for end of April release

Going to get regular edition.. By Limited you mean the stick right? I might consider that if it's reasonably priced, not something like Otomedius stick though

Enought with next gen Going to play FFIX now

Why not buy from PA?

No, I haven't used those before as I already own the Agetec stick. You may want to take off the whole thing from bottom and clean the inside and check the connections, shouldn't be hard. If they are snap fits you could even replace the buttons, but I'm not sure what buttons might fit

@ kernkraft - Too bad I sold mine

@ shah - Have to import from Japan, I doubt you can find replacements here unless you have lubang finding them
