Not sure how I missed it on YouTube itself but you'd done an April pickups video and it wasn't here!
Some interesting stuff grabbed there, particularly liked the PS1 pickups this time. The Japanese PS1 library is so huge and overwhelming (and often very cheap). Finding the bowling game in the street was great! The gliding game looks alright too, I'm a fan of console flying games. Can imagine it being difficult, I used to play Flight Simulator 95 on the PC like mad and I could never master the glider.
Also in the "can't deal with the standard N64 pads" club and let us know how you get on with the PS2/FMCB/SATA combo as it's next on my list to do! I'm particularly interested in seeing what the game compatibility is truly like as I can't really get a clear answer.

I've been using the PS2 sata mod for two weeks now and I have tried about 50 odd games so far. I did have a problem with Outrun 2 SP having no music but that was easily fixed by changing one of the boot options to actuate boot or something. After that, the game worked like a dream.
I've had no issues with any FMV skipping, saving or games with streaming level data. Everything is working great.
If there are any problems, highlighting one of the 6 boot options should fix the issue.
I would recommend using the updated OPL loader by GrimDoomer. It allows for unlimited storage plus simple drag and drop of ISO files. No messing about required.
