Thanks for the kind words Heather, hope you can find them soon :) I think we're really lucky here in the UK as we seem to be able to pick up a lot of retr0 hardware quite cheaply and easily.Quote:

be interested to read Steve's views on the Philips :)
With any system IMHO it's the Games that make it, if it boasts games that you really like then it helps.
So far for the 3D0 I like the controller, it's responsive and comfortable to use.
I've not tried the other games yet but NFS is smooth and enjoyable. I have to remind me self of the PS1 version too as I used to really enjoy that and have fond memories.
I have a Jag on the way, I think your review has given me low expectations so probably I'll be really happy with it lol.
Comparing the CDi and the 3D0 I think the 3D0 is the better looker, the 3D0 was and still is more expensive and the more powerful unit.
The CDi 450 was a budget version to compete with the Games console market and it shows, there's only composite output no SVideo like on the 3D0, it seems quite cheaply built (cheap plastic, the CD lid seems flimsy)
I gather the FMV adapter for the 3D0 is very hard to find however and is quite cheap to pick up for the CDi.
i thought the standard 3do pad was OKish the streetfighter pad was better, need for speed smooth? really? it is famed for being jerk-o-vision:lol:
wing commander worked well as did Space Hulk (same as the pc version rather than the Amiga version)
i did like the styling of the flip top version and the 3do was more expensive? mine was about the cost of fish and chips twice:lol::lol:
LOL! I never played a 3DO so I want one just to try it out. I suppose I should check out the emulators (if there are any) before I spend money on a system. I have played the CDI before and I liked what I played on it. I seem to remember that the controller wasn't very good, but none of the games I played were fast action.

i knew there are an emulation thread on here, took a while to find but here you go, all your emulation needs are here :)Quote:

You can't go wrong with a SD2IEC. Way to go, Sardine. Mine is the larger board but works all the same.
Digital life expanded :-D
Also the Samsung Galaxy S4 is my first smart phone ever :wink:

The Gopro is a black edition, mainly intended for in the car as I was about to buy a serious dashcam, someone pointed me to this, twice if not 3 times better than the dashcam and also more fun and features.
I owe him a bit of thank you :wink:
