    Retro Gaming

    Since upgrading to XP i havent been able to find a megadrive emulator that'll run reliably. Theres always graphical errors, or the sound isnt right etc.
    So i thought sod it.

    Upshot is i have a MegaDrive arriving tomorrow thanks to eBay towers
    Complete with 2 pads, Sonic 2 and Street Fighter 2. Rock, and indeed, On
    I already have a NES with all the Marios, just need a SNES with mario kart and starwing and I think I'll be set.

    Anyone else still got their old consoles?

    Yeah, I've still got all my old computer/consoles gathering dust under my bed....

    Sinclair Spectrum +3 Disk(!) with around 30 games
    Master System 2 with around a dozen games
    Megadrive with around 20 games
    PS1 with around 10 games
    Original Gameboy with around 20 games.

    They all still work too, if you're prepared to blow the dust out of the slots.

    have you any idea what the emulator is called or where you can get it from? I have recently got the t-mobile MDA and would love to play some MD games on it.

    Cheers
