Post any time you get ANYTHING retro 3.

I emailed the company a few days back, here is their reply:

I am a big fan of your RP cases. I would love it if you did a white PC Engine case in the future?

Hi,

Thank you for your email.
Sorry that we don't have plan to do that yet.

Best regards,

The thing is, with the dimensions of the Pi, a retroflag case wouldn't actually be much smaller!

Could a smaller Pi Zero provide the grunt for perfect PC Engine emulation?

[Colin]

I don't really know too much about the Zero to be honest, I'm sure [MENTION=42]MartyG[/MENTION] would know though. As much as I have a bunch of essential PCE CD games on my Pi, I seem to have quite a hard time finding compatible files.

You shouldn't have any problems running PCE emulators on the Pi Zero, they really are a bit of a bargain for early console emulation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfZDUmdMZkI

Sweet! I've been thinking of getting Tetris DS out myself.

Are you aware you can now play online again using private servers? It’s common knowledge that using flash carts or an Action Replay will get you online, but now you can do so with original carts by simply entering a manual DNS address in the connection settings.

I can post details if anyone is interested.

Very interested in this, is it just Tetris DS or all DS games that had online play?

All DS games that are supported by the server will work. There is a growing community of Phantasy Star Zero players, myself included, thanks to this new development.

Edit - there is a rough guide to connecting to the server here:

If you don’t have a router that supports WEP encryption then other options include creating an open network and only allowing authorised MAC addresses to connect, or some people use hot spot on an Android phone instead of a router to connect.

That is awesome stuff, thanks for the heads up.

If you decide to take the plunge then let me know. I’ll be up for some online Tetris DS, fo sho.

I'll see if I can get it working and get back to you.

-edit-
Looks like I managed to get it working via phone tethering. I'm not sure if I'd be able to offer much of a challenge! But tell me when you want to have a game and we'll see how it goes.

Replacement FPGA based SID chip arrived for the C64. Sounds spot on to me. Very pleased.

Legendary men return etc , back in the big tyme.

[Colin]

How far down that rabbit hole are you going this time?

[vanpeebles]

Hey dis boy got some neos!

[Baseley09]

Haha we'll see if anyone see me flogging my missus clobber on ebay have a word with me.

Top Players has a fatal flaw it doesnt tell you how far from the hole you are 0_o. Still reasonably relaxing was enticed in by its cardboard.
