>I played Eternal Champions a lot but my disc has physically degraded to being unplayable at this point, which is a bummer.
This might well be the saddest thing I've read all year.

You do know you could have burned a (perfectly legal) copy and played that with no console modifications needed, right? The original disc could have sat on the shelf, safe and sound.

OPPORTUNITY WASTED

Why is the X7 like 50% more expensive on Krikzz.com vs retrogate.com?

Surely a cartridge shell and (pointless) case aren't worth that much? I mean I can pick up a cib of
madden for pennies on the dollar, case it myself, and still be way ahead.

Sell your SMS while you're at it.

You have a Megadrive.

Besides any possible lag you'll have smearing, ghosting, poor viewing angles, dim and off-colour backlight, generally awful contrast and black level...

Not really a route to go down if I'm honest.

Just for reference I picked up a 2950 on there for £40 BIN a couple of weeks back. 8" extra screen space, IR capability, electronic chassis adjustments and over 200 quid in my back pocket...

Duh, I checked the tuner and it's PAL-I system so now I'm really confused...

Presumably the custom resolutions are going to be 15khz or less? Also, the PS2 only outputs RGsB at 480p/31khz so you'll need to downscale for the Ikegami to accept it...

All in all I think you'd be better off with a VSC either in place of or in addition to the RGB, then you can just feed it a PC-standard 31khz signal and get 480i out. The interface can then optionally be used to double strike this to 240p for muh scanlines.

Dad was never big on vidya, he didn't like me or my brothers playing violent games, like Doom, Starcraft, or Diablo.
Shit, he was upset when he found out I was playing Goldeneye.

I was playing Doom and he wondered why I couldn't solve my differences without violence, as if I was fighting hell over a border dispute or resources, or they were communists, they are evil manifest as flesh, it's what they do, it's like trying to talk down the common cold, it's not on your ass because of politics, it's just what a virus does.

He shows concern over me and my brother liking violent games and rock music (this is a guy who grew up with The Rolling Stones, yet had a shitfit when my brother listened to Guns & Roses).

He also paniced when he learned I liked guns, and thought I was gonna go kill people, meanwhile, he's a hunter and did army service during the cold war (and to use /k/ parlance, he's the biggest fudd, thinks black rifles are only for murdering and MASSIVELY overestimates the difficulty of shooting handguns, because he pretty much only has experience with rifles)

Anyway, he played Blades Of Steel, would sometimes play with him, but I never liked sports much. He also played Space Cadet pinball on Windows computers, which I quite fancied himself.

He's grown SOME as a person, but he can be really unreasonable to talk to.
