Retro/Amiga show 25th May Exeter

Hi all, The South West Amiga Group (SWAG) are holding another meet. This time in the South West :lol: - Clyst St. Mary to the north of Exeter. This is a smaller meet to test the water as previously meets were north of Bristol and too far for Cornwall members. So there will be drinks and snacks provi...

Re: Getting to the end of collecting - Sam Coupe

alexh I was hoping you got that one. On the last one you missed out on the buyer looked like they might already have a Sam and I saw they did quite a bit of buying/selling. Once you have got your pennies topped back up and looking for mods it's worth contacting Quazar on SamCoupe.com rather then bu...

FOR TRADE: Sharp X68000. Ideally looking for Amiga big box

Hi, I am looking to swap/trade this original model Sharp X68000 CZ-600C. I am ideally looking for a big box Amiga. A 3000 would be top of the list. But tell me what you have :D It has memory expansion and BlueSCSI harddrive fully loaded. So you can play 99% of the software. I don't have the original...

Re: Getting to the end of collecting - Sam Coupe

Coming from a family of horders I am aware of things I need to watch. I have to set rules, say that if I've got something then it needs to be on display so (in theory) I can take it off the shelf get the PSU, controller and video cable and use it. If it's off somewhere stored in the house that is no...

Re: Getting to the end of collecting - Sam Coupe

I know what you mean. Things do come along, like the Sharp X68000. I never expected to get into that, but something happened then yes boom I was fully down the rabbit hole :lol: I think I've managed to climb back out of that one now. Until TF releases some addon :lol: I suppose there is the Neo Geo ...

Getting to the end of collecting - Sam Coupe

I feel like I am getting to the end of my collecting. There is always going to be upgrades to buy that come along, but I've pretty much got everything that has that nostalgic feeling. I could buy an Acorn Electron for example, but I've no connection to it. Getting it for the sake of it. I've over 80...

Re: Stuff and Things.

@rubber_jonnie - on the PS2Slim just check it is ok with CD, DVD dual and single layer.

I've got one that won't read dual layer games. So that one was an ideal candidate for the Router and OPL games.
I can't remember now, but blue coloured discs indicate one or the other.

Re: Stuff and Things.

For the PS2 Slim you can use a router with USB socket to load games via OPL. I don't have to hand the model I use, but it's about the size of cigarette packet and I power it from PS2 USB. Then use one of those tiny large capacity USB sticks. Also MemCard Pro 2 is good. I've not played with mine yet,...
