    What did you Accomplish in Gaming Today?

    Beat all four of the silver coin challenges @ Sherbert Island in Diddy Kong Racing today. Whale Bay was the hardest. Im in "Adventure 2" so a good bit more difficult than the first run through the game that most people know. The big octopus boss, 2nd race, is next. I'm dreading it. He was hard...

    I'll keep that in mind. I'm not busting my wallet on cables until I scrounge a proper, wellmade SCART switchbox though. Assuming that SCART>JP21 adapter I just ordered works out, I'm fine for a while. I have a "Selecty21" switcher, made by Micomsoft in Japan, same company that made the...

    Things you recently bought or got

    Just bought a EuroScart to JP21 adapter off ebay. I need it for the SCART cable I use with the RGB Blaster, to get RGB from my AV Famicom. All my other hardware for my retro upscaler, an XRGBmini Framemeister, runs on JP21. I was going to use the recent purchase of the Genesis Model 2 SCART...

    Mattel is selling a LEGO-like OG Xbox Set for $380

    We all know that. You think I'm seriously trying to sell my old Xbox for $379??? :rofl2::rofl2: I'm considering finally modding it myself (but I've been considering it for a lot of years) but yeah if I really do a re-cap would be the first phase of the project.

    Mattel is selling a LEGO-like OG Xbox Set for $380

    I've got an ACTUAL OG Xbox, with a couple original controllers, in fantastic original condition. Hasn't even been booted up for over 15 years. And a nice batch of real games to go with it too. A much better use of your money, cuz this one actually plays games. A collector's dream. $379 +...

    We adopted a kitty from the animal shelter. We named her Nana. Her whole litter was found dumped in a parking lot. :angry: She was spayed yesterday morning so she's isolated for now due to pain meds and the big sister she met yesterday who was not especially pleased about this addition to...

    Hardware I want to try and give Nintendo 64 a fair chance at gaming.

    Maybe so. I was just trying to save OP from spending hundreds on a scaler, if he doesn't really need a scaler. I was playing N64 over s-video for years using a framemeister, and it looked pretty good but not amazing. I'm glad now that I never modded my N64s with hdmi or rgb boards, because the...

    Hardware I want to try and give Nintendo 64 a fair chance at gaming.

    My qualifications for this opinion: 1) I own an A3D and a couple 8bitdo controllers for it 2) I own a Summercart64, and an old ED64 2.5 3) I own 2 real N64's with the expansion pak installed, 4 OEM controllers with good sticks, and also a translucent purple version of that Retro-Bit Tribute64...

    Hardware I want to try and give Nintendo 64 a fair chance at gaming.

    Honestly I'd have to answer "yes" to that. I've never had sashimi, or sushi, outside Japan that compares. Doesn't have to be the most expensive restaurant, but sushi prepared by a Filipino who went to sushi school in Sacramento and makes sloppy sauce-covered rolls for your local grocery store...

    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.

    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?
