I am eating gummy worms!!!!
 
Sod it, I ended up buying an A500 Mini for £99:

Knowing me I'll still want the A1200 Max unless it's rediculously expensive or expensive and crap to the point I look at just doing something with my old A1200 case like this:

Or retrofitting an RPi and Amiberry to work with it....although the A1200's LEDs being 5V would be the only real issue as KB adapters do exist.
 
Bought some instant ramen on the way to work. My pre-order of Pokémon Legends Z-A was supposed to be delivered today, but my tracking number hasn't updated after Purolator (the shipping company) received it, but I'm guessing it's because Canada Post is striking and I'm guessing they are swamped with extra work.

Cheap Chinese scaler

Apparently it's basically a knockoff of the Retrotink 2X, but for a fraction of the price.

I got it to use my Famicom on an HDMI TV when I can't use the CRT. Works decently well, better than the shonky picture I got without it. Doesn't do fake scan lines or anything fancy, just makes the picture better, am content with the upgrade for 30-odd quid. Even managed to find it on eBay from my country for about the same price it goes for on AliExpress, so didn't have to wait ages for delivery.

Can this be used with any console or just rgb enabled ones?
