Alright, Rolling Thunder 2 it is then! Only played the first level myself so far but it looked pretty awesome from what I saw.

It's the slowdown that kills MS2 for me. For me my order of preference sticks at -

I recently bought an MVS again, the only cart I have is MS2 and once I get time, I plan on trying this out

Finally got my Pioneer PDP v402 set up in the garage. I played through Neo Drift Out the other day via composite and the difference in picture quality now the RGB Scart cable has arrived is fantastic. Also had a quick blast on Last Resort, which also looked great. Today I decided to try out the Dreamcast via VGA. Again, it looked fantastic. First I had a TATE session with Ikaruga, Shikigami No Shiro, Under Defeat and Radirgy, then a quick blast on Rez. Looking forward to working through all my other retro consoles with this amazing display.

I'd be interested to know how you get one with this. I much prefer 2 over X but the slowdown always stops me playing after level 2.

Playing Sin and Punishment on the N64. I originally played it (100+ Hours easy) on wii VC..years back..but didn't complete it as I was waiting to play it on N64..i promised myself.

Anyway, the N64 controls/controller is perfect...is was weird on the Wii CC Pad...but I played it for so long, that it became normal, IMO it certainly isn't...but, because of the control scheme on Wii you really did feel a big part of the game..somehow!

I do prefer it on the N64 and I'm in my element. One of the finest games ever IMO....I'm a long way off completing it as I'm doing as I was before...1CC :-)

[noobish hat]

What controller are you using?

[ShadowDancer]

Just a standard N64 controller Official (Black/ebony) feels perfect :-)

[ShadowDancer]

I've tried both difficulty settings and I'm not finding much of a difference (this far in...)
May I ask which one is Normal and which is Easy (as I want to play Normal)
If it helps...one of the Japanese options for normal and easy looks like it says 'Pil' ......
Thank You :-) (Can do a picture if needed) Just I plan to have a good 4-6 hour session on this tonight....

(EDIT Sorted, default is easy....reset data and moved option to normal)

[noobish hat]

I think in Sin and Punishment, the difficulties are written in katakana:
イージー Easy
ノーマル Normal
ハード Hard

[ShadowDancer]

Yes...that would be right, thanks noobs. Hard unlocks on completion and the middle option as you have typed kinda looks like 'Pil' onscreen..
Thank you :-)

Inspired by all the RR chat of late, I started playing Ridge Racer on psp for the first time. Really impressed with it.

I remember playing the original PSP Ridge Racer on a US import machine. Don't think I've been that wowed by a launch game since.
