I know. Unfortunately my views were ignored. Tearaway Thomas is the best of the ones (in my opinion) that were shortlisted.

Are you just planning on using it just for the N64? Only the PAL N64 doesn’t output an RGB picture (although it can still be plugged into a CRT with RGB Scart and will work fine). S-Video is the best option for the N64. If you are on Facebook I’d take a look on the FB Marketplace. You can still get a decent 14” CRT with RGB at decent prices if you look around.

I think that Flashback, the two Mortal Kombat games & Super Street Fighter all had an option for two buttons too.

I had one of these for my Amiga and you could use both buttons for the games that supported them.

In this episode Chris and Mads are back to try to find some gems amongst an ocean of stones as they pick a shortlist of Amiga platformers for our game club game for October 2022. https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/retroasylum/Episode_290_-_Game_club_shortlist_episode_October_2022.mp3

To be honest I’ve not thought that far ahead yet. It’s a good idea though so it’s something I’ll run by the rest of the team.

Well we did think that it might help lighten the mood

Steve Erickson, Chris Worthington and Dean Swain get nostalgic for the decade that gave us virtual pets, pagers and the Sony PlayStation. It’s the 1990’s! https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/retroasylum/RA289_The_90s_PT1.mp3

Plus if you get a Snac adapter and a joypad adapter you can use original controllers: https://misterfpga.co.uk/product/mister-snac-adapter-usb/ Use the code retroasylum to get a 6% discount.

Run the update all script and you will find that the Irem games now have a timing option, if you change it to 50khz you get the full image. Most CRT’s do have a service menu which allow you to adjust the size of the image. Try searching the model number of your TV on Google.

This is the one that I’m using. I think it’s the one that came with it.

I’ll check mine tonight.

Two Amiga platform games that I still enjoy are Kid Chaos: And Tearaway Thomas:

You need to have the Amiga on there. Once I’m home tonight I’ll have a look at my setup to try and help you out.

Has anyone here got the PCXT core running yet? I’m having trouble compiling the bios roms.
