    Ok, finished watching it, the new resolution greatly improves viewing comfort and makes game details much more visible, i hope you keep this format for the download version. The show itself was great as always, lot of variation in systems this time as well.

    So you don'T mind the larger downloads? If people are fine with the extra 80Meg added on to the file size then I'll gladly keep it at that resolution. Still no where near the DVD though :)

    I don't mind at all, i'm on 8mbit dsl with no download limit and i think most who download will be on broadband anyways so 80 megs doesn't make the download that much longer, but it sure makes watching a lot more enjoyable.

    Even at home on 1mbit I don't mind an extra 80mb - Here on uni where I often max out the 10mbit LAN Its absolutely no problem!

    Happy New Year nocomply ! I thought you had been trapped working your arse off recently. Aye, you can't go wrong with a bit of Saturmn Death Crimson! YOu'd be surprised at how much that shit can cost! I've seen it a few times at the 50 pound mark!

    Great show Yakumo. It keeps getting better and better.

    PS: I would never imagine that Death Crimson was so awful. :eek:h: And Burning Road ripped so much stuff from Daytona USA that Sega should demand a percentage of the money Vic Tokai got by selling the game. :110: (although it wasn't exactly a big success anyway :lol: )

    this show was excelent yakumo, I loved the segment you did on the virtual console with the benny hill music. The game selection was nice and varied.

    This newer quality version is a big plus. It was a joy watching the show on my 360 (streaming from my comp). I was wondering if you used the virtual console to capture footage for f-zero and castlevania?

    Ah good old Benny Hill. That tune brings a big stupid grin to my face everytime I hear it :lol:

    Yes because the Wii gives out a fantastic image even through composite. The Mega Drive is crap, PC Engine is also pretty bad and the SFC is good but not at good as the Wii. If I get the chance I'll be using the virtual Console for many PC Engine and SFC games. Mega Drive I'll use the real hardware since the stuff up on Virtual Console is dull or been covered already such as Gunstar Heroes.

    Been offline for quite a while, but I'm SO looking forward to this new volume of Retro Core.

    I'll comment on it when I finish downloading and watching.

    I had to upload a new version of Volume 28 because the old one wasn't being found by the archive.org search engine for some reason. It's still on their server though. So now it looks like Vol.28 has hardly been downloaded.

    No, sorry. I've been very busy this month so putting to gether Retro Core took longer than I planned. To do the arcade stuff I have to record the sound and video separately then edit them together which takes ages :rolleyes: So there is no arcaee stuff this month but I'll make up for that in next months show with some X68000 and arcade goodies.

    Why do you have to record sound and video separatly only for arcade?

    Because they are filmed with a digital video camera which doesn't have a separate audio input (Sound is picked up via the stereo mic) so I record the sound to the harddrive and the image to digital tape. Then the digital tape is copied over to the HD where that and the audio are then edited together. This takes more than twice as long as doing a normal game.
