    I think mike and the rest of the rvgs team know about the videos people calling the system false. and its only time until they respond to them

     

    But that is just it, they HAVE responded to them by deleting comments on the very subject. Every time the question is posed or they are given the opportunity even on their own Facebook page and other forums etc they either do not respond, ignore or simply delete, block or report anyone who questions anything on the subject and THAT is why I am done giving them the benefit of a doubt, their very actions tell me all I need to know. 

     

    And now for fun  :lol:

    so you people are saying that coleco chameleon they showed at the toy fair is a fake.

    don't you think that the people at a major expo thats not open to public would have checked more into to this?

    I'm not saying it is or is not. I'm still skeptical until I see it in person or proof of concept .

    I'll prob pledge something like 10.00 to their kickstarter but not 135 for the system.

     

    I think a lot more evidence supports that it is exactly what it is (a Snes mini running a flashcart) than there is proving it is actually the prototype Mike was promising. Mike has a history of dancing around the facts deleting negative comments while never actually providing anything solid. Have you not been following everything since the RetroVGS fiasco? Seems far more likely Mike felt pressured to come up with something to show at the ToyFair in order to have a good showing to help promote and secure funding towards the campaign, after all the hyping and and the pounding he had already taken from the previous attempt and failure he definitely could not fail to show something. What he displayed actually was very amateurish and not convincing at all. I think you give people behind the expo far too much credit in knowing the difference. What I CAN tell you is things may be falling apart for this project very soon concerning some parties involved  ;) but that is all I can say on that. Stay tuned though.  :rofl:

    I still seem to be missing something lol......There was a post on fb were I asked about the coleco and Intellivision games shown and how would they be played without a keypad? The response was enough keys could be mapped on the controller for those functions. I suggested that was kind of a sucky alternative. Today I read a post suggesting the inty and coleco games that require a keypad won't be on the console......uhm, isn't that like.......the MAJORITY OF THEM??????? Ugh the usual answers that are not winning me over........

    Jaguar, Coleco, and Intellivision, but no telephone pad on the controllers?

     

    Exactly my thought for sometime, soon as I heard Coleco I thought well, do they plan to have ColecoVision titles because if so that controller ain't going to cut it! Also while the games look well emulated I am still not seeing proof this is running off the console or a prototype? Could be PC emulators as far as I can tell..................

    What are YOUR 4 Favorite Childhood Toys? 

     

    I actually uploaded a new video today! :o  After 5+ months, it was not planned, I did not wake up thinking I would make a video today BUT I was watching another YouTuber I like who was making a response video on the subject of 4 Favourite Childhood Toys. I enjoyed it and also immediately it flashed in my mind some of my own great childhood toy memories. This inspired me so I thought oh what the heck, turned on my pocket cam and did a quick 1 take video off the top of my head (those type of videos are usually my best anyways lol) it  was a quick and simple video which I figured at the very least would be an indication to my subscribers that at the very least I was still alive. It was fun thought and gave me an excuse to do my first video of 2016. I may not necessarily be "back" yet but it did feel good and so there you have it. Here I will post the video and underneath the complete Video Description with links etc. So feel free to chime in on your own memories of favorite childhood toys you received way back when. Thanks.  :spot:  :beer:

  14. AMIGA Memories

    in Amiga

    Posted

    All fine examples of AMIGA games for sure. Of course games were a HUGE thing for me using my AMIGA especially since back then for some time my main gaming machines were the AMIGA in before, after and in between my ownership of various 8 -16bit consoles while both living at home and later on my own many times if it had not been for my a500 and later the a1200 I would not of had a gaming platform at all. During this time sadly I would go through many downhill moments in finances having to sell or trade consoles and computers those many years ago but honestly and thank goodness for my own sanity whenever I had an AMIGA in my possession at the very least I was not wanting for games. I had like many a huge assortment of floppies a friend or two would supply me with copies of all the latest hit games and add to that all the PD / Shareware / Freeware etc I could "obtain" for little more than the price of a floppy disc and they would all auto-boot straight from floppy and I owned a nice little external floppy drive to go along with the internal so even multi-disc titles were not too troublesome. 
     
    I also had a set of little amplified speakers hooked up ( I think many owners did ) so all these free, cheap games with stereo sound and great bass pumping sound. thousands of colors, layered scrolling etc accounted for endless entertainment. Whenever a friend, roommate etc popped by the first reaction (I would usually have a bass heavy motion captured demo playing) would be "What system is that?" or funny enough "What kind of PC is that?" , which even though was a fair enough term to use for an AMIGA I knew they specifically meant it as in "What kind of Windows machine is that?" so needless to say I always took much pleasure in going into my whole presentation about this platform that was little known or used in Canada comparatively speaking but pretty much totally unknown to 99% of the people I knew personally. To say I took joy in explaining how I had this unknown machine that had stereo sound, 4096 colors, parallax scrolling, multi tasking with everything running smoothly in 1/2 MB of RAM would be an understatement  :D Good times that I admit I have missed for many years, thank goodness for emulation (obviously I am NOT saying it is any kind of replacement) but at the very least it allows me to once again experience a platform that for me these days in my small part of Canada is just a little too pricey and rare to indulge in as I would like.

    The ROM is 576 KB

    The CHD is 549 MB (took 15 minutes to d/l)

     

    But the ROM does contain the missing files that are listed on my screenshot above. I guess someone will figure out a way to get it to work someday.  :unsure:

     

    I was not speaking about file-sizes  ;) , I was speaking about the versions - Example MAME  V 0.169, ROM V.147 etc. When you mix versions you get errors like yours because even though all the files are present the version of MAME does not recognize all the rom files because the version numbers are mismatched. This is why MAME and the ROMSETS are upgraded for changes in compatibility. You start with a fairly recent version of MAME and use a ROM SET with the same version number OR you upgrade the ROM version using a tool like Clrmamepro to update / merge / rebuild the ROMS, honestly I suck at using the utility so I always just downloaded matching versions so everything was ready to go.

    Please post a comment answering the following: 

    1. Your first exposure / introduction to THE COMMODORE AMIGA.
    2. What attracted you to the AMIGA platform.
    3. How did you use your AMIGA computer?

     

     

    Let's kick off the new AMIGA Forum with a celebration of our favorite Amiga memories!

     

    With this new category I really wish I could post images or talk about my own AMIGA hardware as it has always been my personal favorite classic computer. The sad fact is I just do not have any (other than possibly a mouse and a few floppies and CD's of software) but I wanted to kick off this section in a great way, celebrating our best memories of the Commodore Amiga!

     

    Let's start with an "open tag" video I made on YouTube when a viewer invited me to respond with a video on my best Amiga memories and the 3 questions above. Of course for posting here nobody is expected or obligated to respond with a video but if any of you have personal history with the wonderful AMIGA platform please fell free to comment and share.

     

    Thanks in advance to all who participate!   :beer:

     

     

     

     

    Original Video Description

    Your AMIGA RELATED MEMORIES GIVE THEM TO ME!

    This is an OPEN TAG calling upon any and all AMIGA fans! PLEASE comment or better yet do a Video Response and share YOUR AMIGA related memories.

     

     

     

    :pow_big:

     

    Please Stay On Topic To Sharing Your AMIGA Memories

     

    Please stay on topic to sharing your Amiga memories. This is not a discussion about specs, dates, or a roster of engineer names. Remember we welcome and support all retro and classic platforms here. Old rivalries between Atari / Amiga must be left at the door and are not part of this discussion. ;) Feel free to respond in your own way to the 3 questions posted above.

    I d/l-ed this one: http://edgeemu.net/details-19983.htm

    and tried it in MAME and it was still missing some more files.......

    then I d/l-ed this one: http://edgeemu.net/details-33299.htm

    and still get the same files missing............ I'm lost too

     

    You know the ROM, CHD and version of MAME should all be the same right? A missing files error is usually the result of unmatched versions.....

     

    However even if you get it running it really does not seem worth while at the present time......maybe it will be added to a future MAME ROM SET once it has been figured out.......

    I had mentioned an outing Melissa and I would be doing for Christmas Eve in our small Canadian City of Kelowna in THIS thread - http://forums.atari.io/index.php/topic/1374-happy-holidays-to-all/?do=findComment&comment=13186

     

    Candy Cane Lane was something started by one East Indian fellow for his son but the rest of the community soon joined in turning it into a charity event (you donate canned food items) and is nice for families to peruse the Christmas decor. Here I share a couple short videos (I mentioned our humble little site  ;) ) and images with you all.

    Are these any good. There is one at a local shop and they want $80 and i cant bring myself to buy it with knowing absolutely nothing about it

    Don't bother now, they are pretty much gone under. It launched, went for a couple years then they closed up shop. As for the unit, not the most powerful even for an ANDROID BOX, some complained of controller sync issues, mind you some people loved it for basic emulation and some android games but the point is moot since they are now gone. If you are wanting a good android gaming device save up for an Nvidia Sheild or something.

    www.youtube.com/watch?v=ciIj7fMxlOgThanks for the support guys. Our PR team is sending out Press Releases tomorrow to the lazy journalists at Kotaku, Polygon, Ars Technica, and Re/Code. We're going to try for what's left of Joystiq and those shrill broads at Gawker if anybody is left to listen. They'll likely pick up the story and reprint our Media Release without much thought or curiosity like they always do, so I'm expecting lots of gab about Dreamcast 3 on social media over the holidays. We're serious about making Dreamcast 3 (Project Daddy) a reality. We're gonna do this guys!

     

    Is Carrington S. Scott head of your marketing team? Clearly he should be!  :rofl:
