This has quality to be actually in the game.
Yes, because it’s wireless, has bumpers +BW buttons, and is usbc rechargeable. Can’t go wrong.
Wow, nice to find you. I'm about 7 years deep in a tonedevil S-12. I responding to your comment about the instrument getting under your skin. I cant put mine down. Recently added some humbuckers and I am having a ball. I could sure use some lessons for sure. Nice meeting ya.
Awesome, thanks for subscribing!
Don’t pay $300 or better just go to Amazon or Ali Express and get you a clone. It’s an open source project and the least krikzzs could’ve done give you the Roms if they’re gonna fleece you for 300+ dollars my clone SD to SNES has all the enhancement chips same FPGA same features and only paid $95 they’re gonna try to scare you by telling you that clones don’t put the same quality parts in theirs as krikzzs but that’s a lie if what all of his reviewer said were true my super Nintendo Junior would be useless. By now. Voltage regulators are going to be the keyword to scare you into giving his company $300 resellers and other scumbags have destroyed our retro game market Thrifting for games is a thing of the past, do not let these guys overprice a simple open source project we get price gouged enough you can buy five of these for the price of just one of krikzzs fxpak pro And you will get all of the games you expect and not have to spend countless hours searching the Internet for illegal ROM dumping sites and search of the games you’re looking for or locate a ripper for your super Nintendo games as he offers nothing but the OS on his $300 cart and the rest is up to you save $250 and countless hours of your time and frustration and just get a clone SD to SNES off of Amazon for about $95 you can get them for about $50 apiece on Ali Express but sometimes you have to buy 4 to 5 of those which still is cheaper than just one FX pak pro and then just list the three extra or so back on Amazon for $95 a piece and actually make a profit off of buying a clone and still get to play
Those long trips from Selles to Indels, or through wherever you were past disc two back to Tiberoa's Castle (don't remember the name sorry hehe, back then i did not care much) just to listen to this tune were worth it even if I had to traverse the no gravity valley
Avg cost $35.36 x 8 = $274 cost of FKPAK PRO.
Nice use of Legend of Dragoon music
What are those scratchers on your right hand???????
I play fingerstyle guitar and use acrylic nails.
How do you get the thumbnails for the games?
Tight brother 👌
Question, do you know if burning games works for games from other regions for the Sega CD? I want to play Sonic CD, but I'd rather play with the JP soundtrack
You'll have issues with the BIOS on that. You'll need a flash cart that can load different BIOS files. If the game is in another region, you'll need to select the BIOS of that region in order to play the game.
You're not wrong about the VGA video quality
Jesus Christ, I'm not going to say what does that guitar look like!
The dreamcast is great and so easy to Mod, I did Shell Swap, GDEMU, Dream PSU (powersupply) and I got the Brawler DC Striker Wireless controller. It's great, I am running VGA out to a CRT so I can still play the light gun games. The GDEMU is awesome much quieter and faster than the CD. I really recommend the Dream PSU even if you want to use the CD Drive still. The power supplies have been the most common issue for me. My local game store has a closet with a half dozen broken Dreamcasts, I get two and fix one for them and end up with a free dreamcast for myself.
BOWMAN! I was hoping to come when I came by but I just didnt have a chance
pokemon soul silver loose is 130 on price charting. Which you know how price charting is.. Some sell higher and some lower. So 130 is extremely reasonable. I just looked it up because I was shocked when he said 30 percent mark up
haha I sold a sealed steel batallion and the controller all still in box last year!! I remember seeing you guys! Hope to see you next time!
There's an AliExpress clone for like $90 that seems to work pretty well
I went to the Arkansas Retro Expo as well. I had a really good time. I agree, the space was hot and tight. But it was better than the year before space in hot springs. I was able to take home a jungle green n64 with expansions pack.
EZ pass Velcro worked well for mounting in my cabinet.
Have you tried it with the Gamecube version of Super Mario Sunshine? I’m curious if the trigger works the same where if you lightly press it you can still spray and move.
I went to MODE because of my model was VA0, but if I could I would go with GDEMU. MODE works fine, but the software is a little buggy and seems like abandoned from Terraonion
They had rechargeable cell packs and batteries. If you went with rechargeable batteries no alkaline, but the batteries used for video tape cameras.
The big plus of having a Nomad vs a regular console is the Dpad. I have yet to find a better Dpad than on the Nomad; it’s a travesty that no other controller ever used it.
How does the D-pad there feel compared to the Neo Geo Pocket Color, which is kind of the gold standard for that kind of mechanical d-pad design?
nice video, exactly what I was searching
With these drive emulators, and the USB C power supply, and fan replacements, as well as Ram upgrades the DC can be kept going for years to come. My DC already has has its spindle motor replaced back in 2004 ish. With the price of the Mode i can't justify the cost, the GDEmu is going to be my only option for my DC. 13:54 i do not like that.
My wife wife bought me BBC Malcom, so I could see how it looks. pretty nice gift, never seen much stretching and cream in my life.
I actually didn't run into any of the issues you had with the GDEMU. I simply dragged and dropped the games into GDMENU Card Manager and it was quite simple to get up and running. When a friend of mine got his GDEMU, I simply copied my SD card onto his. I don't know why my experience was hassle-free, unlike yours. But if I were to hazard a guess, it would be in the quality of the SD cards. There are lots of counterfeits and fakes out there these days, and it is in everyone's best interest to verify their cards before use so that important data isn't lost, or unwanted behavior occurs shortly down the road.
Beautiful playing! And so much nostalgia, too!
Tks ... interesting concept. Would have been great you played a small piece of music to get a more clear feeling about. Anyhow. Tks. Go the offer of a 2nd hand Emerald Harp Ukulele. So I fell over your vid.
Here's a performance video for you: ua-cam.com/video/9AHqrG3xs8U/v-deo.html Emerald makes great instruments, hopefully your ukulele works out great!
Does CD-R damage the CD player lens?
This has been a subject of debate for a long time. I believe it's agreed that while it's not "good" for the lens on most consoles, it won't absolutely destroy it or anything. I played burned discs on my Dreamcast for 10 or 15 years with no issues. Eventually I went the GDEMU route, and I highly recommend it.
@@travisbowmanmusic I have a PC-Engine duo-r. There's no such a thing like that for it.
@@DamienNightmarish yes there is. It's called the Turbo Everdrive Pro. It will essentially play all CD games from the card slot. You just won't be able to use the CD functionality at the same time. If you want to continue using the disc drive on that Duo, I would recommend getting your disc drive recapped.
@@travisbowmanmusic Oh, you're right. But it's too expensive for me, unfortunatelly.
I bought that same exact camo model last month for $38 but I had to replace the lcd screen because the polarizer layer was peeling off. I love how this thing feels in the hand. Too bad I only have one game for it (Metal Slug 1st Mission) which cost me $40.
It's a super cool piece of gaming history for sure! I'll never be a Neo Geo "collector" due to the outrageous prices, but this flash cart is a nice alternative if you just wanna experience the games.
Great work
Would it play MegaMan X3? It has a special chip set Cx4 for 3D vector
😭😭😭😭😭🔥🔥
As of today, that raspberry pie is $44 😂
The times they are a changin'!
Thanks for doing this video on the Nomad. I currently have 5 Nomads. I buy them not working and repair and upgrade them. There was a rechargeable battery pack available for the Nomad, unfortunately if you find one the batteries will be no good and it will have to modded to take modern batteries. There is a TFT screen you can mod the Nomad with that is cheap and uses the Composite output, easy install. I think the TFT is a better looking option over the IPS because it compliments the original look with a better screen. I haven't come across any Nomads with leaking Caps yet, but I have noticed after recapping with high quality caps the video and sound improves. This is a milestone in video gaming history, SEGA's "Switch".
Regretting consoles
That Sam dude is pretty cute.
Bro you should have millions of viiewers keep on with this quality you've gotta get there!!!❤
Nice awesome!!!!
I collect, but I only play on the GDEMU. I don't want to wear out my disc drive and damage the discs I bought.
I think the main thing that pushes it above the wave bird for a majority of people should be the Bluetooth functionality allowing you to connect it to pretty much all your other systems. Like if you wanted to play GameCube games on your PC or smash bros on switch this allows you to do all those things for most likely a cheaper price. I think you should have at least mentioned that part of the control in this video as a separate section just so people discovering this controller know that
Yeah, that's a super cool possibility as well. I just wanted to compare the two controllers in this video, as I was really only interested in using this on the GameCube.
This was a really well made video. I usually find people either hyping these up or saying they're useless junk and never to get one. I feel like you were very realistic about the drawbacks while also acknowledging the use cases for them. One question I had is do you think it would be possible to put a Dell optiplex in one of these instead of a raspberry pi?
Be good if someone could implement a built-in VMU in a controller, with a modern OLED screen and microSD storage (so saves can be backed up easily). Then power the whole thing off a modern LiPo cell. That dongle is a kludge, and I don't have a convenient space for it either. I'd rather it had a _longer_ cable, actually, so it can be stashed out of the way.
Is this can be used as a carrying case?
At this time, the case doesn't have handles. You could carry it in a backpack or suitcase, though! It's very sturdy.
The screen in mine is 5.4 and I'm having trouble getting some of the emus to display correctly.
You forgot to say that you cannot change only GDEMU. You will have to change or modify the power supply otherwise you will overheat and burn out the processor. If you sell a dreamcast with a GDEMU mod and don't change the power supply, then you are doing very badly. GDEMU always changes with dream psu power supply.
This has been a subject of debate for quite some time, and I don't think what you are saying is entirely accurate. I've had a Dreamcast with a GDEMU for years with no issues at all, and I never changed the power supply. I did, however, recap my power supply and it's been doing great. To say "GDEMU always changes with dream psu power supply" is a bit ridiculous. There are other alternatives.
@@travisbowmanmusic That is, you want to say that you are smarter than the engineers at Sega. Well, it’s logical if you increase the temperature inside the device above what the manufacturer intended, then everything will definitely be fine in the future (sarcasm). It doesn't even sound logical.
@@travisbowmanmusic Engineers and developers spent time and put in a lot of work to release a cooler power supply, why? So that you catch them in deception? So they are crooks? Are tens of thousands of people around the world remanufacturing their power supplies or installing cooler power supplies just because? Because they are probably stupid and have nothing else to do (sarcasm).
