I have installed 2 afterburner lights and I have to say the resuts are remarkable, nothing beats playing bomberman or mario kart in complete darkness. There are a few things to be careful of though, for example in mine (the first one I did) I managed to get some dust trapped inside the casing (could...

Well I did some further testing yesterday and found that CPS-2 games runn in full speed with a frameskip of 6 (skip every other frame) and sound disabled. I tested Alien Vs Predator this way and it was perfectly playable (although silent). I was using an Epia 800 based system with 128MB RAM and the ...

It probably would be a better idea to use on of the machines posted above (based around what I think is a mini ATX motherboard) as even a cheap Athlon CPU would perform much better than the Epia systems. I was testing a few CPS-2 ROMs on my machine and in order to get anywhere near a playable speed ...

I have had some experience with mini itx motherboards. I built a dedicated mp3 player using the basic Epia 5000 (533MHz) and while I was testing it found that it could emulate Sonic for the Megadrive (full screen with sound) perfectly. I have also built a mini PC using the Epia 800, this I have foun...

Yes there is, it involves soldering a switch to the mainboard of the Saturn to switch between 50Hz or Full screen, full speed 60Hz.

Read this if you use your PC for playing music / video
I have recently buikt a dedicated mp3 player based around a VIA EPIA motherboard , which performs far better then I could have hoped. Anyway, the main disadvantage with it was a lack of remote control and changing tracks / albums with the mouse was a bit cumbersome. So imagine my delight when I disc...

Thanks guys, I will probably try the hypercam thing tomorrow. I will be using a 1.8G P4 so hopefully I should get reasonable results, also I am quite handy when it comes to using virtual dub so that isn't really a problem. The files are Real Media, but I am obviously reluctant to buy the full versio...

As stated above, Space Invaders is very good, the other 2 I have that have taken most of my time are Mario Kart and Bomberman. If you have a flash cartridge then I highly recommend the homebrew games Maya Mysteries, Asteroids 2 GBA, Rotris, Connect 4 (can't remember it's proper name), Tetanus on Dru...
