    What did you Accomplish in Gaming Today?

    So I started Diddy Kong Racing on Aug 8 (see post above) and today I beat Adventure 1, i.e. beat the Trophy Challenge for Future Fun Land and beat Wizpig 2nd race. Now the hard part starts. I don't expect to beat Adventure 2 in 15 days. Maybe 15 months lol.

    Things you recently bought or got

    Besides all that being stuff that can't typically be found in local liquor stores, the price at the distillery gift shop is as good as it gets. Even if you did find Blanton's Gold or Woodford Double Double in a local store, typical for them to be marked up 20% or more over retail.

    Toured a couple Kentucky whiskey distilleries today, then dropped about $650 in their gift shops. A couple of these are wedding/babybirth/funeral worthy.

    I haven't checked availability for a long time (because I already bought one), but that Cube looks like a prime candidate for a GCLoader. (ODE)

    Original Xbox (NTSC) video output - HDMI converter, or RGB SCART cable (from RGC)?

    Thank you both. There are a couple different component cables (third party) made for OG Xbox on Amazon. Any reason they wouldn't be good enough?

    What did you Accomplish in Gaming Today?

    Enough procrastinating, today I finally took the time to get my Analogue 3D and Summercart64 sorted. I had been playing with it pretty much on default settings, which were locked at 1080p and I couldn't figure out why, and except for updating firmwares I hadn't done anything yet about minor...

    The New N64 Golden Age is Upon us!

    wrt: the Mario Tennis and Mario Golf rankings in my previous post, I'm not a big fan of any video game renditions of real world sports*. And Nintendo routinely farms out such games to outside developers. So I didn't include them in the prime list, but anybody else's opinion is just as valid as...

    Original Xbox (NTSC) video output - HDMI converter, or RGB SCART cable (from RGC)?

    There's always something in my retro stuff that needs an upgrade or new hardware gizmo, but I'm getting close to maybe finally doing something with my original Xbox that I bought 25+ years ago, but which hasn't even been turned on in at least 15 years. Yes, I know it likely needs a recap job...

    Saw you posted in this thread and was expecting the thing you "got" was constipation, from all the cheese.

    The New N64 Golden Age is Upon us!

    That's a yes/no. I took 2 years in college, then I lived in Hiroshima Pref. for 2 years '91-'93 working for the JET Program. Didn't get married until 2000, we were introduced by a mutual friend, years after my time living in Japan was a closed chapter to me. But we've been married almost 26...

    The New N64 Golden Age is Upon us!

    No in fact I only had a PS1 during that era, and of the 5 years I spent playing on it 3 of those years were load times. My first game console was an Atari 2600, when I was in 5th grade. I'm 59 years old and pretty much stopped gaming when I graduated from college, which was still NES era...

    Yep. Would you like the FPGA console / missile guidance system combo, or just the sandwich?
