Yah it was fun early on I played it a bit but the shifting sands of the meta and updates killed it for me. Kind of sad to see it go but Fairytale fables is what I’m into now. Not that I play card battlers a lot but every now and then they are a fun distraction.

I have 2 guncon 2’s a crt and a hacked ps2. I really don’t use it enough.

I just did something similar. I got given my childhood DMG after my mum found it when moving. It would turn on but the screen was broken. I used this screen and this tutorial. You will have to solder the speaker to the new board.

The screen works great now and is backlit. I also bought a $20 copy of tetris to test it. I then bought a flash cart for it. I have the EZ FLASH jnr. Works fine and it saves games. Has a real time clock which you want for pokemon I think.

The only thing I would say is doing the screen modification was annoying. I went back to funny playing and bought the case and parts they have that fit the screen. It’s in the mail atm.

I also bought a pack of 4 eneloop batteries and a charger. I considered the clean juice xl battery mod but I don’t think I’ll use it that much.

I might do a sound mod to it at some point the headphone jack has a lot of hiss. Might just need to replace some caps.

Yeah not sure if it was the last it was late in the dc lifespan and a Japan only release. I don’t think a lot of copies where released either. Its very expensive if you can find it now. It’s a great game visually and is hard but reasonable. The border system is is confusing though. The story isn’t to bad either for a shmup.

All those Shmups and you managed to miss the best one Border Down.

That’s fair enough. I had no nostalgia for it and came across one cheap console with a broken power supply. Swapped that out then upgraded it. The price of games for the system are pretty crazy especially for Shmups.

I do quite enjoy it though I had a play station growing up and if I had the choice again it would be the PS. Though the Sega saturn is a neat machine and it does have some interesting games.

New OS what do you mean? My SS has a fenrir and a working memory card slot and I still find it a pita dealing with saves on this console. Luckily batsugun doesn’t really need all that much save wise.
