Looks very similar to Project Atlantis.

Lovely Dreamcast pics.

Send messageLook at it another way though - a lot of Dreamcast lasers are starting to fail these days so you may end up having to resort to an SD card mod at some point in your life anyway."ERE's like Mr. Muscle, he loves the things he hates" -

I’ve got a new and boxed DC for a certain amount of ‘future proofing’, but I will definitely consider the SD card and HDMI upgrades.

Send messageI got my Dreamcast out of my parents' attic and the laser is going.
"ERE's like Mr. Muscle, he loves the things he hates" -
The laser is pretty easy to sort and a replacement is about £15.
-
Analogue thing looks like exactly the kind of thing I’m into.
-
The DC solid state mod appears to be rather good and easy to add. Think it's just a plug in thing that you swap out with the laser.
A certain something would be lost though.Holding the wrong end of the stick since 2009. -

Even as I get older, and my reflexes slow, I’ll always want to play Samba de Amigo.
If my DC dies, that pleasure would be taken away. I agree that a silent Dreamcast loses part of the charm though.

Send messageAlso, re: the Analogue Pocket, if the adapters aren't too pricey, might be a great way of getting some more use from my Neo Geo Pocket collection. I'd have to pop round my Mum's place and fish my GameGear out of the loft, too...For those with an open mind, wonders always await! - Kilton (monster enthusiast) -

Hmmm... yeah. The Wii version isn't as bad as some say. It's controls do work despite what many say. It has more to do with the angle you hold the wiimotes at than their actual position - at least when it comes to the vertical co-ordinates. Though maybe they don't work as well. But nothing will ever replace the Dreamcast for me.
Would be interested to hear an opinion from someone who has played both versions enough.Holding the wrong end of the stick since 2009. -

Send messageI enjoyed Samba de Amigo on Wii... but only on easy. Bumping the difficulty up just revealed the issues with the controls.

That's oddly cool.For those with an open mind, wonders always await! - Kilton (monster enthusiast) -
Yeah that's a top idea. -
I’m on the side of the wii controls being crap - to the point of being almost unplayable
-
Wonder if m+ would have benefited it.
I've never played it enough to judge but I wasn't troubled by them. I was just playing casually mind.Holding the wrong end of the stick since 2009. -
I was QA project lead on Samba Wii, enjoyed it. There was definitely a learning to do tho re. how the controls wanted to be done.
-
I guess if you were trying to play it like the DC version you would have struggled.
This is video of some guy 100% at Hard. There's a link that downloads a guide to the controls...

He FC'd but he didn't 100% (all perfects), getting a 100% FC on that would be something. It wasn't until Beat Saber that I really thought wavy control rhythm games could be really nailed, tbh.
-
The guy who wrote the guide on the link claims he beat career mode on super hard. I might break this one out and give it a go again.
I suppose it was never going to be good enough for hardcore though. I don't think the wavey of the time would have been up to it.
The wiimote is great at tilt though - Kororinpa and its sequel are excellent roll-em-ups. The sensitivity and finesse possible with it is impressive.Holding the wrong end of the stick since 2009. -

And I'm sure they were sick of Samba De Janiero too.

Note to self. When playing Super Mario All Stars do not reset console after finishing a world. It doesn't save automatically.
At least I get to do World 6 again, yay. Especially after I'd done a possibly (probably not) speedrun worthy kill on the boss.
Still, was short of lives so I'll have a lot more next time I complete it. -
Having nothing to do at work in front of the net is dangerous at times.
Just spent £350 on:
Boxed NTSC Nintendo 64 console
Everdrive 64 X7
EON Super 64 HDMI adapter
Looks like I'll be off loading the PAL collection sooner rather than later.オレノナハ エラー ダ -
