FC5. Was stupid expensive but once I'd seen it I couldn't bring myself to buy some cheap plastic silver crap and have it.in the living room.
It currently has an AMD motherboard with a built-in CPU and is just a cd ripper. What a waste!
Ryzen no good for dolphin and PS2 emu? Please elaborate if you have time mate. Don't want to limit myself.

Has he pulled a Roseanne online or something? Just curious.
Also that pricing is a bit steep. I think I paid like... A hundred or so for my RHEA? I bought it with a new batch. And a basic Saturn you can find for cheap at various places. I used a thrift store system.
Thanks for the vid. I've been emulating DC on my massive Witcher 3 gaming rig, but nice to see it running on cheaper systems.

It's essentially now impossible to get one. Apparently he doesn't always fulfil orders even if you get in with in the nanosecond window orders open. He won't take emails, you can't contact him etc. etc. Essentially just a giant ball ache and seems to randomly post these rants on his site. I'm certain it was all much simpler many moons ago. Had a chance then and missed it. The order window is pretty much 30 minutes at a certain global time zone which he decides upon, and then seems to change - it's very annoying, make more irritating (of course) by the people who are clearly buying to re-sell and have clocked on people pay well over £300 for these.3DS FC (updated 2015): 0447-8108-3129

They only had problems with dx9, 10, 11 and opengl.
Edit: looks like dx12 was discontinued in Dolphin, not very surprising since they are the same API anyway.Last edited by Solar; 25-07-2018, 22:06.

These solid state solutions are obviously popular. I fail to understand why the creators don't upscale production big time. They demand is clearly rampant.
PS1 and Saturn look best on CRT, in native resolution, but for DC, GC, and Wii, I could never go back to SD. Upscaled and smoothed they look gorgeous. Replayed Toy Commander on emulation, and it was even better than I remembered. (If you try it and the sound is broken, you need to get it from an alternate source - the TC sound works just fine!)

I might even have just paid in advance to be put on his list. Easy, much more so than the PSIO device I bought, where I had to hit refresh like a madman in the 5 minute window where they were in stock. Got one, and seconds later they were out of stock.
