Last post by retro junkie - August 28, 2025, 09:09:03 PM@BLUEVOODU I am thinking that Stunt Racer 64 was another game that was a Block Buster rental only.

Retro Gaming and Hardware / Re: The MD-16BIT Genesis Clone...
Last post by retro junkie - August 28, 2025, 08:37:56 PM@BLUEVOODU hmmmmm...............
Not sure about your experience with clone consoles. Sound is an issue due to the Genesis model 1 sound chip. It is buggy in clone systems due to the original hardware being very difficult to backward engineer. It is never perfect in the games. Some games are worse than others. There are some games that you would not notice unless you are a die hard Sega fan.
The difference between this and the Nomad is that the Nomad is the original hardware. The Nomad is the winner when it comes to game compatibility. But the Nomad screen is dated, old technology. And this clone is thinner. You really can't compare a clone system to the original hardware, original hardware will win every time. You have to accept the clone system for what it is, limited but still usable. I am always checking out clones systems just to see how far they have come. But I think in recent years they have stagnated in their research and development.
The controls have a learning curve, if you are very familiar with the Sega Genesis controller. It has to do with the button arrangement and placement. Once you overcome that it will work for you.
The size of this console is more comfortable to hold and play than the Nomad. I am sure if Sega wanted to make a Nomad 2 in this present generation it would be comparable in size.
I keep my eyes open for stuff like this.........................

General Discussion / Game Subscriptions
Last post by BLUEVOODU - August 27, 2025, 07:04:29 PMThere seem to be several offerings for gaming subscriptions now. You have the Xbox game Pass, Playstation Network (Extra and above) and several others.
Have you bought into these? I personally have not. I tend to buy games I want, they tend to be physical games... but I do utilize services like Steam, Blizzard and others were the games are not really physical anymore. If you have bought into them, why have you and are they worth it to you? If you do not, why are you holding out?
Post It up!

Sony - PlayStation 5 (PS5), PlayStation 4 (PS4), PS Vita, and PlayStation 3 (PS3) / Control Oddity with Playstatio...
Last post by BLUEVOODU - August 27, 2025, 06:54:25 PMI had a weird thing happen with my Vita today. I was switching between games and was trying to set the automatic upload for game data. The screen wouldn't allow me to select certain things... it's like the touchscreen wasn't responding and was jumping everywhere. The touch controls on the back of the system were also causing the game menus in the main screen to jump everywhere. This evolved further where I couldn't get out of the menus or select anything... and the menus just kept jumping around.
I couldn't power off the system because I couldn't select the power off button lol
I corrected this by pressing power and the system screen turned off. I was then miraculously able to hold the power where it gave me the power off button again where it allowed me to power off (screen was still acting funny). Once the console rebooted, everything was right.
Has any one else experienced this?

Last post by BLUEVOODU - August 26, 2025, 08:42:42 PMHey @retro junkie --> high five on an amazing post! Low Five on me not posting in this post forever.
This is a pretty cool looking system. Seriously... where do you find this stuff? lol
Ok... the screen really looks better than the Nomad? What about control feels compared to the Nomad? My guess is that it is thinner and battery last longer than the Nomad for sure. Thoughts on the sound compared to Nomad (I read the part about 1 speaker and headphones are a must)?

lol AliExpress gives me nightmares. It feels like the dark alley you just need to stay away from at all costs. You know that sinking and bad feeling you got standing in a parking lot at night?? That's AliExpress LOL. It might not be that bad... but... it gives me pause.
