Just because an architecture supports ECC RAMdoes not mean ECC RAM is required.  Few people perform work with their machine that would benefit from ECC.

That’s if you’re talking about using a physical 32X on this console like you can do with the SegaCD. I’m not talking about that. I’m talking about them coding the functionality of the 32X into the FPGA so that just like the Genesis carts, you would just plug the 32X carts directly into the console. The 32X hardware…

The new e-cigarette devices are much more addictive than old models, making it harder to quit

Sucks.  I left my 8BitDo NES30Pro behind a long time ago and switched to a Steelseries controller.  Better thumb sticks, better buttons overall, painless pairing, and far better compatibility with games and emulators without additional configuration.

FYI:
“Until further notice, we have closed our online shop and can only provide limited support for previous direct purchases. Many of our products can still be purchased online through our approved resellers CastleMania Games and RetroStuff.ca.”

That shouldn’t be the case.  The 32X had to have the Genesis video passed through it because neither the Genesis nor the 32X processed everything.  The two had their own pieces of the game to process and add to the whole “picture”, if you will.  If the FPGA were programmed to simply process the Genesis and 32X…

Likely have to pull out the mushroom attachment to enjoy it.  I can’t imagine them being able to program the FPGA to mimic the additional capabilities of the 32X.

Has little to do with connections and more to do with productions numbers and parts availability.  Those Yamaha chips are going to come at a premium and the market for this type of boutique console are just that: boutique.

Should be a solid no, unless they manage to program the FPGA to handle the 32X’s workload. The original required the additional power to support the add-on’s chips, so who knows if it’s possible. The cartridges are barely any different as far as dimensions.

Yeah, the good Model1 system with the clearer sound goes for minimum $80 used.  Combine that with the HDMI out and other included features and it’s hard to beat.

At first I was sad that I had bought a model 1 Genesis and 32x earlier this year... and then I realized that this console wouldn’t play my 32x games.  The image will be clearer from this Analogue system and the audio will be cleaner than my Model 1 with the inferior sound chip, but I only paid about $100 bucks for my…

I’ve had my game library running on my SSHD for 3 years now without any issues. S.M.A.R.T. checks out ok and there are no signs of potential data issues. Though they say you can defrag an SSHD, I disable automatic defragmentation to ensure the SSD segment doesn’t get hosed. Assuming the SSHD isn’t used as a primary…

I use a 2TB SSHD as a dedicated game library myself. Vast majority of my Steam library rarely gets touched, so I find that the performance of the SSD cache paired with the mechanical drive meets the needs of 90% of my games, and for the 10% where drive performance is more critical, I install them on my C: SSD until…

Consider going the SSHD route rather than the straight SSD route if you’re going to use a separate drive for your gaming library.  SSDs are getting cheaper, but they’re still at a premium in comparison to mechanical drives.  The SSD cache on a hybrid drive is typically sufficient to boost performance on regularly…

Except it’s not pedantic if the rotor isn’t actually warped. Again, the vibrating sensation is similar, but the cause of the problem is entirely different. Warped metal vs brake material deposited on a rotor.  One is likely a design flaw that can’t be prevented, the other is potentially caused by poor practices. …

Modify your car how you want, but if you can’t drive the goddamn thing, trailer it.  Ruin your suspension geometry all you want, have at it, you’re the one paying for it in money, repairs, and loss of control/ ride.  But don’t inconvenience others.

Yup.  If a woman defaces a cheating man’s property, throws his belongings into the garbage, ruins his car, she’s “giving him what he deserved”.  If a man destroys a woman’s property for any reason, he faces charges.

So every guy whose generosity for dates has been taken advantage of can kick rocks even though the premise is exactly the same....right. It’s still one person being enriched under false pretenses and getting something for free.

This isn’t much different than if a man tells his date he will take them out and pay, and then faces a much larger bill than he bargained for because the date ordered expensive drinks and food.  The date took advantage of someone and was grossly enriched because of it. What of this scenario?  What about women who…

If the old “but everyone knows the man pays” is excused, even for repeat offenders, then this should be excused as well.  Either that, or all cases of gross enrichment are tantamount to theft and should result in litigious action.
