i had a very similar Opti sound card in my first PC which was based around a Pentium 75. i think the early Pentiums should really just be considered a fast 486 rather than suitable for Windows 95/98 gaming. Sink or Swim is a fun puzzle platformer. cool spot. wacky wheels is a blatant Mario Kart rip-off but very competent. Following from your love of Lemmings I would suggest you give some PC ports of Amiga-native titles a try such as Cannon Fodder, Worms, Sensible Soccer... well I guess I don't need to tell you about Amiga games. Jungle Strike had a decent DOS release too. You could try your hand at Command & Conquer?
@RetroRecollectionsКүн бұрын
Thanks for the suggestions! Yeah definitely going to leave this as a pure DOS machine I think. I am sure in the future I can pick up a more modern system for Windows 98 gaming.

Hello, my question is: how can I export or convert my project from the "Layout" program to create an executable (".exe" or "rom") so I can share it with my friend and let them play with my edited tracks? When I use the option "file" -> "export" -> "canoball," it only generates a ".bin" file, and I don’t know how to run it. Thanks in advance (my native language is Spanish).

Yeah - I have seen those little 3D printed boxes that sit on top. A good solution. My current Amiga has a real internal floppy drive and an external gotek which I think is even better. Also has a built in DF0 / DF1 switcher.

You'd have to switch the mainboard with an NTSC one as in this video. I don't think there is a 50/60hz switcher solution available for the SNES / Super Famicom but I could be wrong.

You need to use RGB cables / SCART to avoid this. Composite output is tied to PAL / NTSC signals and RGB out is not.

Since the Megadrive was modded badly I'd suggest getting it moded properly with a switchless mod then you can run any cartridge at its correct speed.But as that Megadrive is 50hz and Japanese language it's not going to run anything coded to run anywhere I'm talking Region coding .

I know next to nothing about Amstrad machines but I suspect it could indeed be a RAM issue. If the chips are socketed, try swapping them and check if the pattern on the screen changes at all. If so, it might be worth trying to replace them with known good ones. 🙂

There are not so many left and definitely not many left in the hands of people who are not collecting them, but willing to put them out there for sale. It's par for the course for stuff that is old and becomes a collectible overnight. Old computers and games were cheap at the time people wanted to get rid of them, even though there were few (relatively) of them - yet more than now -, and now that they're in the hands of collectors, supply dried up.

Get the gate array out, Deoxit the lot and then if that doesn't work find another gate array. (obviously also Deoxiting the other socketed chips). With that amount of rust on the inside, anything socketed could be a culprit.

Sounds like you're using the composite video output. RGB output is not affected by this and gives a superior picture. Your TV would need to be compatible with both PAL 50Hz and NTSC 60Hz to give you a colour picture over composite.

My quest for the holy grail of coin-ops: OutRun at home began with the Speccy. Not a bad version but every level had to load from tape! At least that came with the original soundtrack on the B-side. Then I heard it was coming out on the Atari ST and £300 for one of them seemed a fsir price to acheive gaming nirvana. But no, the Amiga had more colours so after saving up another £100 I sat down to play...and was totally devastated. What a piece of crap! I often ease my conscience playing emulators and remakes with the rationale that I was ripped off so often in the 80s by unscrupulous games companies that they "owe me one". Anyway, great video. Thanks the heads up and showing plenty of gameplay - this is the way to do it! PS I recall the Speccy version of Hang On (also by Sega was fantastic). Anyone else remember the realistic bike on the arcade original you could lean into curves with?
@kevinjohnson19584 ай бұрын
My Brother and I had the Speccy 128+2, OUTRUN was and still is my favourite game and yes the music cassette was separate to the stages which required loading. Everything looked good proportionally speaking only let down by the colour scheme. My friend had the C64 version which had a better colour scheme but didn't feel like OUTRUN, I remember getting to stage 4 on my first go on his too.

Very good points. The fact that game developers targeted the C16 mostly as opposed to the Plus/4 so that their games could work on both machines didn’t help either. If the C16 had been given the 64K and shipped at a reasonable price it could have done much better.
