The translation team replaced the original fmv videos with the cleaner PSP version and increased the picture size to full screen. An impressive feat!

Many of these were never ported to any other console. Speaking of ports, there are conversions as they are running on native hardware.

#dreamcast #atomiswave #dolphinblueIntroducing the Retrotink-2X Pro Multiformat - 480p AT LAST!!!Ray Commend2020-08-24 | Mike Chi has released his latest Retrotink-2X Pro product.

#retrotink #retrotink2x #retrogamingLunar Silver Star Story (English Beta) - Saturn VS PlayStationRay Commend2020-08-17 | The first English beta is out for Lunar: Silver Story for the Sega Saturn and it's great! For years, I've read that the PS1 FMV's look a lot better but after playing them both side by side, it's not as wide a gap as I expected. In fact, there are some areas where the Saturn FMV comes ahead.
Overall, both versions look great and it's fantastic that more players will get to experience this awesome RPG series!

The PS3 is a phat model (MGS 80gb bundle) running at 720p with no enhancements set. The PS2 is a slim model using a Retrotink2X Pro in 480p standard mode.
Both are using the same HD Retrovision component cables through an Elgato HD60s.
Please keep in mind that Youtube compression will usually degrade video fidelity somewhat as compared to in-person viewership.

#tekken #playstation #retrotinkThe Turbografx 16 Mini Reviewed!!!Ray Commend2020-04-14 | If you're interested in the Turbografx 16 mini, then you've come to the right place! This is the definitive review that should tell you everything that you need to know.
Great news! The Retro-bit Wireless USB Sega Saturn game pads work after manually changing their modes. First: Press UP + Start for 3 seconds to get the dpad to work. Second: Press down + Start for 3 seconds to flip A & B so that the button orientation is correct. You will need to do this every time that you power on your console. It is not permanent.

#terminatordarkfate #terminatordarkfatereview #darkfate #terminatorMaking of Lunar 1 & 2 Complete Full DocumentaryRay Commend2019-10-27 | This is Working Design's documentary on the making of Lunar & Lunar 2. Originally, these documentary CD's were released with their respective collections on the PS1. However, the discs were not playable on normal DVD players and limited to Playstation consoles with backwards compatibility with the PS1. This also has the unfortunate side effect of having less than VCD visual quality due to the limitations of the time.
This upscaled version is from original hardware and as clean as I could get it with modern codecs. It also combines the two separate 30 minute segments into one cohesive hour long documentary. Enjoy!
Hope that you enjoy and check out the Lunar games on PSN & iOS app stores!

It's the Polymega versus the Google Pixel 2 XL in pure Saturn emulation.
Something to keep in mind. The Google Pixel was set to run at 1080p to match what the Polymega should be putting out BUT it was also recording its own screen in high quality at the same time. It's a true beast of a phone which I may have to do a follow up review on.

These are 2 new NES games that I recently stumbled upon on Kickstarter. Both look great. Nebs and Debs reminds me of old Capcom NES games like Little Nemo or Duck Tales. Micro Mages just looks like incredible Gauntlet style 4-player fun AND the graphics on both look great.
No talking from me in this video. I'll let the games speak for themselves. I have no involvement with these, I just thought that they looked cool. Remember that kickstarter is always a risk, however, I put my money where my mouth is.
