Last post by BLUEVOODU - April 20, 2026, 08:22:29 AM@targetrasp - You're welcome, my Friend.
Also, Do you like Fluance? You know what... we need a vinyl thread. I haven't got back into vinyl yet, but looking to make it there. We ended up getting one of these for the daughter on a major Black Friday sale (2 years ago):

Been a fan of the Audio Technica stuff... and might look into that for ours down the road. However, if Fluance is decent... might look into that as well.

A second thought. My wallet is an evercade size money pit. And I am comfortable with that. I have Neo Geo games on that console. If I was still getting up everyday and finding myself at a job, then the bundle would be a no brainer. I probably could swing the console only and there are some good games on eBay that are under the $90 threshold. Games that I really like, example Fatal Fury Special.
I am really very undecided.

I am first, in a state of shock. This messes up everything that I had planned for what I was going to do this year as far as gaming. My first thought is that I would love to have that big bundle, but $1000....hmmmm. I have been going through my games looking for things to sell. I would have to dig deeper to swing this. My first chance to have something like this comes to mind. I have mixed feelings and a mixed reaction to all of this. I went on AliExpress and the adapter for the MVS games would cost about half as much as the console by itself. And a multi cart to go with that would cost more than the console. So..........it seems the best deal out of this is that big bundle. Not sure if I can reach that goal.

thank you all,
no games to speak of, but the "what are you listening to" thread has me on a vinyl spending spree. looking to treat myself to a mid-tier record player. Eyeing the Fluance RT81 in piano white but haven't pulled the trigger yet. The Neo AES + preorder is also calling to me

PC Rigs, Builds, and Peripheral Devices / Re: Modern Routers
Last post by targetrasp - April 17, 2026, 01:01:41 AMI've heard people complain about certain devices not playing well with the ubiquity gateway, but I've found that not to be the case. I had repurposed an ASUS router as an ap and stuck it in my daughter's room at least 10 years ago and that's what her wireless devices were connecting to. The wireless stuff I forgot about changing to the new SSID were still grabbing that old one and getting internet access. It took a while for me to realize my phone was still on it.
I've tried a lot of different switches, network drives, etc. and nothings been difficult to get to work. I don't have any other brand of APs or managed switches to test out, so I can't speak to those, but what I do have has all worked out just fine. I honestly cant see it getting any better at this price point.

Last post by targetrasp - April 17, 2026, 12:42:49 AMIf the Ultimate bundle came in white I'd have a hard time not buying it.
90 per game is a tough sell for me for game that I've got on other consoles for much cheaper. The PS2 SNK Arcade Classics vol 1, steam has or had a bunch, amazon gave a bunch away, those cool little mini arcade machines came preloaded with a bunch of games.
Still kinda want one, just to have a bunch of neo snap cases taking up space again

what in the world?! Awesome post.. I am shocked... and jaw has completely fallen off my face.
It looks like everything is a 1:1 size as well? At first, I was thinking this was a mini console with mini carts. It has to be, right?! It doesn't appear to be the case.
The ultimate version is $1000 with 10 games, memory card, a wired aes stick, wireless aes stick and wireless game pad... which appear to be complete in box. What in the hell is happening? This must be the end of the world or something. If I'm correct, SNK is still owned by a Saudi company now. It's licensed... so this is pretty amazing.
I really don't know what to think about this. I want the ultimate version.
which version are you getting, Retro? I will be honest, I know it's no longer April fools... but I looked everywhere on this site to see if it was an old April fools joke.
@targetrasp ... you see this?!
