Hello everyone, just joined up ! My setup AVS (TimeharvestCBOX with 2.4g wireless USB+8bitdo) in the back AES (3-6 with RGB fix with custom all Sanwa stick) in front. Some Swans M200 MK3 speakers (nicely shielded) hooked up to a Behringer 9 band graphic equalizer and Dr. DAC 3. Scart to 20inch pvm.
Oh, and the kick ass clock.

I've never had a good place to ask this, but what's the current obsession with wireless controllers for old systems? For me it just adds a new layer of frustration (wireless controllers have batteries and connection issues) and I've always had a love of cables in general since I was a little kid. The only part I do understand is that original controllers for old systems wear out and break -- so although I prefer original controllers intended for the system, I can see the appeal of a new aftermarket controller for that aspect at least.

Yea personally I don't play much wireless UNLESS its 2.4g connection (nearly no lag) and a really good custom stick...The 8bit do is <passable>, I might swap the stick for a Seimitsu LSxx.
The reason Im using the 8bitdo arcade stick is...the 2.4g (you have a switch for either 2.4g or Bluetooth) is incredibly seamless with my AVS usb connection. Turn the stick on, play. Zero connection problems.

Lots of PS imports on right. Left are PC engine Hu card games, mostly shooters. On top of that, Sega Saturn imports

I see Soul Hackers there I think too? Box double-jewel case. That game is cool, I was happy to get the localization on 3DS when I had one. I've considered getting a 3DS again just to play Soul Hackers but meh.

Are you able to read Japanese?

EDIT: LOL Wow, it's now a $150 game (3DS) on ebay. I bought it off Amazon for $30 or something not even 8 years ago?

All the Atlus 3DS stuff has skyrocketed. I saw the online prices of Strange Journey Redux and was able to drive 20 minutes to a GameStop that still had a new copy at retail price.
