Modern Accessories for Retro Gaming vol 4 - Game Sack

[@flioink]

RIP Joe, lived by the graphic - died by the graphic.

[@RobertTheBruce88]

I too enjoy exceptional graphic

[@solangedias5631]

He will always live in our hearts

[@koosjuh75]

It might be a bit shallow to say, but if a game has nice graphic I do enjoy it. Not saying graphic is the most important thing but it's nice to have a good graphic in your games.

[@flioink]

@@koosjuh75 Same here, I do enjoy many games for their visuals, but more the art direction than just polygon count and textures. Gameplay beats all though.

Polly Bonanzas No halves here.

[@piotyrholbion]

Ok for the end skit I was SO hoping that after you "died" Dave came in and stole Snatcher again

[@Thrashman138]

I love my mClassic, in very specific cases. I've been using it for two weeks and it makes every Switch game I've tested look quite a bit better. I now actually dislike playing Switch on the TV without out it. The mClassic is absolutely NOT designed to work correctly on pixel art/old school 2D games. In my experience you get the best results from full 3D games running in 480p or 720p then upscaled to 1080p or higher. On an original Wii in progressive mode, the mClassic really shines. Keeping these caveats in mind, the mClassic was definitely worth the $70 I paid for it a while back during the campaign, but that current $100 price tag is a bit steep.

[@cactusmanbwl1990]

Came to say the same thing. Mine is connected to a hub that my PS3, Raspberry Pi, and Switch run through. Makes all of them look appreciably better.

[@Thrashman138]

@TubularBow HD In my opinion, the mClassic was practically made for the Wii; however, you will need an HDMI output for your Wii for the mClassic to work properly.

[@davebladegun3009]

[@paulrippcord506]

When you put in Bebe’s Kids, I’m surprised that the M Classic didn’t spit the game out and say “I am an upscaler not a miracle worker.”

[@billywhite6730]

No bevis

[@JarodMoonchild1975]

@Paul Rippcord I know you're just making a joke, but still, how can the M Classic, spit anything out? It doesn't even contain the game data (ROM), if we were talking about the console he was running that game on, that would be a different story. Long story short, you didn't think that one through, bud. But I see what you were going for, so I'm sorry for ruining your joke...

When playing Mario Galaxy with the mclassic make sure to set the Wii U to 480p. It made a difference for me.

[@psycomutt]

He definitely didn't do the Mclassic right, lol. It makes quite the difference on 6th gen consoles.

[@bishop4514]

@@psycomutt Also on the Switch, I can see a real difference on BOTW ,Resident Evil Remake and DKC tropical Freeze. it much more noticeable if you play for a couple of hours and then turn it off

[@Demokirby]

Yeah, you do need to match the native resolution of a game to get the most out of it. That said, mclassic is most ideal for 6th gen 480p consoles and Wii imo. Overpriced for $100, but happy with getting it discounted down to $63 when splitting with a friend to use on my carby GC.

[@DrGreenThumbNZL]

The Wii scene recently (april 2019) discovered a 480p signal bug that resulted in poorer image quality when the 480p video mode is set on the Wii, "translation problem" between the digital and analog video signal this problem affects any Wii software They fixed it with patches and can be turned on for all software with USB loader GX , Looks much cleaner now , IDK if any one cares...

Most people don't know what the hell they're talking about. Not to mention, the most noticeable differences are when you pause something and zoom in at like, ten times magnification. In motion, it's even less noticeable. It's the definition of snake oil. It's basically, Monster Cables propaganda. I might have given the cables the benefit of the doubt if they were like $20 to $30. But at $100, it's the biggest scam in history.

I just *knew* that Dave was gonna make a cameo to steal your Snatcher after you died. I bet he showed up right after the camera quit rolling, that shyster.

[@TooBokoo]

I just finally got my Mega SD and it is incredible. I give it my highest recommendation as far as the unit, itself. The only negative I can say is how awful Terra Onion handled the launch as well as their terrible shipping method as well as the lack of shipping info they provide on their site. It'll take you 2 months to receive your unit and the entire time, your order status will just sit in "Paid" status with no update. The only way you can get order info is by spamming their forums or Twitter and even then, it takes days to get a response, and when you finally do get a response it's usually along the lines of "We're working on it". Absolutely abysmal customer service.

[@Kohijin]

Yeah, I mean moving your company to a tax oasis is one thing, but as soon as you find out you can only ship about 45 orders per day, you should ramp up the customer service with maximum transparency. It seems like my order from last month is stuck in Andorra's customs for over a week and I felt there was no information for me during the order process that an "express shipping" will take that long. When asking what is currently happening by mail, I only got a vague one-liner, which wasn't referring to any of the information they posted in their forums or on social media.

[@TooBokoo]

And I don't even blame them for the slow shipping. I get that it's a small company. It is what it is. But, some kind of additional shipping info or disclaimer when ordering would've been nice. The Mega SD product page said "In stock" when I ordered, so I assumed I would order and it would ship out within, maybe, a week. I wasn't expecting next day shipping or anything insane. But, not only does it not ship out within a week, but there's zero additional info after you order. All you get is an order paid status and then you just sit and wait. You have to badger them on their forums or Twitter and then you just get a generic response. Then, randomly, you get a shipping notification like, 6 weeks later, and then wait an additional 2 weeks for it to show. LOL! Absolutely ridiculous when spending $250+ dollars on a product.

[@ramon88us]

Krikzz is currently working on a new Mega Everdrive that plays Sega Cd games so I'm looking forward to that.

[@TooBokoo]

@@ramon88us I saw him post about that on Twitter. I'll probably buy one of his as well and assuming it's on par with Terra's, I'll likely sell that and keep the Krikzz.

[@Kohijin]

@@TooBokoo Same. Communication is key.

Final episode of gamesack was AMAZING!!!

[@Shozuki]

I really wish there was a version of GBA Consolizer that had analogue RGB out - is that even possible? Awesome video as usual sir!

[@skins4thewin]

Again, for me it's not about the MClassic improving the image at all. It's about whether it looks better than just letting your display upscale the image, and whether it adds less lag than the display upscaling would add. That's what the reviews should be focusing on, not whether it's making it somehow look better. This could be especially useful on 4K displays, as they upscale 1080p much better than they do 480p. I'm quite surprised nobody talks about this.

[@DeadBen.]

Lol...I used to own that IMAX super speedway DVD about 20 years ago. Never would have thought I’d see a clip from that on Game Sack!! Then again...I guess I never really thought I wouldn’t have either.

[@skins4thewin]

That MClassic upscaler device could actually have some use if it simply upscales better than your HDTV itself does and with less lag. For this purpose it could actually have some pretty decent usage. They should have advertised it for this and not all that other needless processing it does. Is there a way to turn off all the processing aside for the upscaling? If so then this thing could have some promise for those that simply want better upscaling and less lag than what an HDTV can do on it's own. Someone should do a lag test on it to see if it adds any perceptible lag. If there is none then it actually very well could improve gameplay. It would pair really nicely with the RetroTink, especially on 4K HDTV's which usually don't upscale 480p very well. I'd really like to see a comparison shot of a 480p signal on a 4K HDTV with and without the MClassic.

Man somebody has to make both Sega Tunes versions of Comix Zone and Vectorman plus enhanced for the Mega SD, those CDs are pretty damn sick specially the Comix Zone one since Howard Drossin was the one that made possible the always cool soundtrack for the game and he specially made all the tracks for the Sega Tunes release of Comix Zone, i always wanted something akin to Earthworm Jim Special Edition for the Sega CD that has an enhanced soundtrack for the game but with Comix Zone like an Comix Zone Re-Sketched Edition for the Sega CD with that music in, but alas it was never meant to be since Sega never re-released Comix Zone in anything but its original form ever since. But with that feature in the Mega SD now its possible to have one of the best games in the entire Sega Genesis library with one of the most rocking most grungiest badass soundtrack for a videogame ever.

It's because of your videos I purchased my Mega SG and Mega SD.
