sucks it's not a good version of the X68k, like the Super.
Super has the same hardware no? I already have 2MB an a modern 8MB+Midi underway. HD can be done with BlueSCSI. It's getting recapped in October.

Hmm.

Legit question... Worth it? Asking for a friend.

I like it a lot. There are a lot of weird little doujin games and arcade ports. You have a bunch of weird hacks for Space Harrier for example (one of my favorite games).
You need to enjoy fiddeling with hardware and software. If you don't then this is defenitely not for you.
Currently I only have 1MB and one working floppy drive so I'm limited to which games I can play.
What is weird is that it is VGA and you see all these arcade in 31Khz and not 15khz.

I mean I can't really judge myself. I've recently gotten into the Sega Master System.

Got the first drive up and running. It is still flaky on accepting discs on the first try. So probably needs some more lube.

I didn’t choose Final Fight for my first two disc game but Image Fight. Not the best version honestly.

If I can just get 1MB more I can play that shitty port I can play perfectly anywhere else but no I must pretend I'm an 80s salaryman with an underpowered $3000 bag of shit on my desk because I'm afraid of enjoying anything new

My extra mega byte arrives 12 september, so excited.
My extra 8 megabyte and midi card arrives "soon" (Belgian Post doesn't do exact dates).
Now I need to get drunk on friday with the boss, beat the missus and ignore the kids then I'll be the perfect salaryman!

Got my SC-55 up and running. First time toying with midi. Not really sure if I find it a huge improvement.
Look at that phalanx box art and floppy drive sleeves such a beautiful set.
