I do believe Game Genie does not have region lock embedded, so it should be safe. However there games that have region lock chip, so you can't simply plug and play. Games like Sonic 3 (weirdly not & Knuckles though), Gunstar, Contra, PSIV and Shinobi III are region locked, which are possible to bypass through Game Genie, but you need the right codes. The whole region lock thingie made me sold my Mega CD and settled for a CDX since, for some odd reasons, Genesis games are much cheaper than JP MD games. No problem playing imported Mega CD games too  cool2.gif

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 nod.gif 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 hmm.gif Curious because that's what I'm doing right now

Anyone selling, been having trouble getting this console.
Last time i heard, Sega is going to mass-produce sega dreamcast in
bundles with games. But its nothing concrete.

Of course I do play the VS series on Saturn. I'm assuming you are using the earlier model cart where only X-Men VS SF can work. Better get the newer one from PA, it can load every single 4M required game on Saturn smile.gif

ah i remember that , that cart made a difference if you compared the saturn version and the ps version ..

Added on February 6, 2009, 4:01 pmI can get the item cheap, but the problem is shipping, as you said it's bulky and heavy hmm.gif

I remember someone offered RM100 to get a special model PS1 from Japan for him last time doh.gif The shipping already cost more than that, and that particular PS1 cost more than RM200 doh.gif

You oldest console is older than mine laugh.gif I think my oldest console is either PCE Duo or SNES

@triple B - I'm not sure, because I really don't know how heavy it is but I would estimate shipping alone cost more than RM150

Welcome rclxms.gif

Which Super Mario you are talking about? NES? SNES?

Your statement makes me wonder, what's everyone's reason here playing retro? Nostalgic or quality gaming? Mine is definitely the latter smile.gif

mine`s both . kinda miss the times when the games were simple and very little button combos to rememer.. . tongue.gif

talking about super mario , i spent 8 hours trying to beat the first world on the airplane .lol

Yeah, it was gold for just plug and play and you can enjoy the game to the fullest.. unlike now where you have pay again after buying the game to enjoy. I don't play game in the plane since most of the buttons are broken and have to pause every time the pilot make stupid announcements tongue.gif

still that was my only time playing super mario world ..lol till i got a ds and new super mario bros .. tongue.gif

You don't need to mod to play back ups, just depending on the DC's version but I don't know how to differentiate them. I use boot disc for imports, which also require DC's that can play back ups.

its something to do with the bios/os which was hardwired into the machine . seems there was a software loophole etc which allowed the cd-r to be run

QUOTE(nizam80 @ Mar 2 2009, 03:43 PM)
Ok, I finally get it now. Are the boot discs difficult to get?

well, you can find it on the net . smile.gif
