An interesting concept, but the lack of color would kinda suck.

PS2 to Dreamcast adaptors from Duo-R (Thanks)

Quote from: Joe Redifer on 03/10/2009, 09:53 PMHey Sparky, nice find on the Pixelvision! Please take some footage and upload it to Youtube or something. I remember seeing commercials for that and thinking "I can record real life on a cassette tape I would be so awesome if I had one!". I know it is black and white only, but the concept is still really cool.

hey thanks guys... i picked this up just for the cool factor, recording on a 90min cassette 11 mins of video & audio in window box fromat i had to try, there is some footage on youtube to show what it can do.

i am experimenting with different audio cassettes to see if there are any quality difference (shit, i cannot belive i am buying audio cassettes again

) but first i need to buy a head cleaner or maybe even get it serviced as i am finding the rewind and play is slowing down at times... it is pretty cool what i have recorded so far, audio is perfect, just figuring out lighting and getting the best video out of it. I will post some video when i get it working proper

Anyone know if Vasteel 2 is playable without the ability to read Japanese?

NO CARDBOARD SLEEVE???!!!! That means you are not hardcore. Not being hardcore makes you less of a gamer. Being less of a gamer makes you less of a person. Being less of a person means being among the first to be sacrificed when the moon men attack. Nice going, Einstein!

Duo_R · 03/14/2009, 01:55 AM

I don't think being hardcore makes me any less of a gamer......

I've never seen "Skies of Arcadia" for Dreamcast before. What is that like?

Joe Redifer · 03/16/2009, 01:33 AM

Sweet! Super Castlevania IV is the best SNES game, or at least one of the very best.

I have Skies of Arcadia on the DC and I don't recall it being too interesting. Never finished it. I won the Gamecube version in some contest and I think I gave it away or sold it for cheap.

Skies of Arcadia was an RPG for the DC. It's pretty fun. You're a sky pirate that's out to stop an evil empire from destroying the world. It has ship to ship air battles a nice number of sidequests, and a decent enough story. It's one of my favorite DC games.

While it's not a bad stick I'd say mod it. The stick is too loose for it's own good if you're playing a fighting game. Half of the time I feel like I'm trying harder than I need to when I'm doing dragon punch motions or tiger knees. I mean it's something you can get used to but why bother? If you can I'd say at the very least put a Sanwa JLF type stick in it or an Sanwa GT-Y octagon restrictor plate in it. It'll do wonders for that stick.

I know it is too loose i gave it a try on,SF3 thirdstrike.Doing a circle motion on it didn't all ways come off right for the special moves.Later on i would like have it modded so it is useful to use.The reason i bought the joystick becuase it sure was cheaper then...buying a hori real pro arcade joystick.
