@MetalFro: Be careful of those non Sony memory cards. YMMV. I had a multi page one that lost all my saves.

Enjoy Golden Sun. It's a great game!

Tornado Outbreak is a game you should play. It expect it to reach  hidden gem status in the years to come.

Funny thing is, I have a multi-page memory card (2 pages) that I've been using for nearly 20 years, and it has remained solid.  Matter of fact, I'm using it with the current RFG play through, and it's working fine.  But yeah, I know what you mean.  I've been looking to see if anyone makes a PlayStation memory card adapter that will use an SD or microSD card, like you can get for the Game Cube, but I haven't seen anything solid yet.

@MetalFRO: There are two ways that I know of to back up saves.

1. Expensive Route. Buy the PS3 memory card adapter and use that to back up. To give you an idea on inflation on this item I paid $10.00 for mine

2. Non expensive Route. Buy a PS2 memory card with FreeMcBoot installed and use the Ulaunchelf to copy them to a usb stick.

Wow, I had no idea that the memory card reader was that expensive now. Glad I bought one way back when.

Hey now,

Latest arrivals from one Mr. Zagnorch:

Love that expression in the opening still-- you really know how to channel Yoda's "ConcentrAAAATE!!!" moment.

At the top is a UK/Euro release of Picross DS, which I got in a trade along with Lost in Blue and a sealed Castlevania Lords of Shadow 2. I picked up the sealed Legend of Zelda: Art & Artifacts hardcover at Target along with Splatoon and StafFox Zero on their BOGO sale.

This seems like a good time to post what I got from Zagta Claus this year in the Not-So-Secret Santa giveaway.

[img width=700 height=365]https://i.imgur.com/KVI02Ez.jpg[/img]

Let's run down this score:

Crazy Taxi (GC) CIB
Robotech Battlecry (PS2) CIB
WarCraft II: The Dark Saga (PS1) Missing back insert
Tetris (GB) cart only with case
Daxter (PSP) UMD only
Need for Speed Carbon: Own the City (PSP) UMD only
Warhammer 40K Squad Command (PSP) UMD only
Family Guy: The Freakin' Sweet Collection (PSP) UMD only
Style Savvy (NDS) cart only
Littlest Pet Shop: Winter (NDS) cart only
ABC Wipeout: The Game (NDS) cart only
Spelling Challenges and More (NDS) cart only
Amazing Adventures: The Forgotten Ruins (NDS) cart only
Pictionary (NDS) cart only
Super Scribblenauts (NDS) cart only
Imagine Fashion Designer (NDS) cart and manual
America's Test Kitchen: Let's Get Cooking (NDS) cart and manual

As usual, Zagnorch overdelivers on every level.  Everything other than the UMDs and DS games will get foleded into my collection, while the UMDs and DS games are destined for the MAGfest leave something, take something chests to start their journey anew.

Zoinks!  Those are expensive!  I think I might stick with sourcing additional memory cards, and just copying saves over to 1 or 2 additional cards for save info I want to keep long-term.  Or wait until someone makes a PS1 adapter that will allow me to use an SD card.

@mumboking - awesome Sonic shirt!

@Zagnorch - LOL, I hadn't thought of the Yoda thing, but you nailed it.

Also, bonus points to Ikariniku for "Zagta claus" - I'm going to have to remember that one

Silver gave me an amazing hookup with this complete Mortal Kombat 1 arcade boardset.  Going to fire it up tomorrow if I get enough time on my lunch break.  Seriously amazing deal on this board, this means I can finish my mk1 restore this week.  Can’t thank Silver enough.[img width=700 height=525]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180213/ccc121c03df20971ca2c3a767e6ac197.jpg[/img]

Another 5200 game knocked off the list. Mountain King! 8 left to get![img width=700 height=933]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180213/2684bc210a7a9aeb243abdbdc0cd6c04.jpg[/img]

^^ Nice!  I have that for ColecoVision, and it's a challenging game.  I didn't know it also hit the 5200.

[Fokakis79]

It looks awesome. My only problem is that i need a controller where the keypad and start button work or try to buy new parts for the ones I have. I thought I had the problem solved and then I was wrong   I got a better joystick but I need working keys to actually start the game.
