The Famiclone site isn't resolving for me right now, it's a copy of my review which you can find at my site here:

And it isn't new... I wrote that YEARS ago, I don't belive they are still made.

Views: 3439

The iQue as an official "N64 in a pad" marketed in china by Nintendo, it uses special flash carts that are "locked" to the console they came with. As far as I'm aware no one has broken the encryption on the iQue yet so unless you want to periodically ship your cart back to China/Hong Kong to get the ...

It's available in most newsagents, like WH Smiths, in the UK. The website is @ http://www.livepublishing.co.uk/retro/ where you can also order the magazine.

Oops! that should have been Cover DISC :oops: Ben looks in fine form managing to come of as a suitably mad professor type (Ben you really should have combed your hair first, LOL) It also has a cut down version of Cloanto's Amiga Forever as the main content on the disc.

Ben in Retro Gamer magazine.

I've just finished reading this months Retro Gamer magazine (Vol2. No1). There's a 1 page interview with Ben (page 6), but better yet there's a couple of cool video's of Ben's book presentation on the Cover. :D

The "Pro CDX" we're talking about is a cart which allows you to play import Mega-CD/Sega-CD' s on your system, not the portable Genesis/Sega-CD that you're thinking of UA!

Good luck finding a CDX... a phrase involving rocking horses and "number two's" comes into mind :shock: They are available (I have one) but incredibly hard to find, and if you do find one it's going to be waaay expensive (I think I paid about £40 for mine!)

Alternatively you could try converting ...

@ Unidentified Assailent: Radica have recently signed a deal with codemasters for a "Sensible Soccer Plus" unit which will have Sensi Soccer, Mega-Lo-Mania & Cannon Fodder so there's a pretty good chance that your Cannon Fodder cart will work with a modded Radica.

Of course there's also the Street ...

Your best bet would probably be on the forums (the Tavern) over at Eidolon's Inn: http://www.eidolons-inn.net/tiki-index.php

Unfortunately with Mega-CD systems if they're broken it's nigh on impossible to get any replacement parts, except from another Mega-CD, so they generally stay busted :( With ...

OK I've built a rom dumping cable, had a few teething problems getting it to work... needed to switch my LPT port to "Bi-Directional" mode AND still had to use UCON64 to get it to dump anything right. I have now succesfully dumped sonic the hedgehog and tested it with GoodGen which shows it as being ...

I was going to suggest trying UCon64 ( http://ucon64.sourceforge.net/ )with your Toto-Tek, if you haven't already that is, but it looks like that might only read/write to the Flash cart as well :( might be worth a look though.

Alternatively there's the Sega-CD transfer cable ( http://www.pages ...

It could also be a Brazilian MD...there are actually many regions! True, just as a thought though have you tried dumping the rom using your Tototek reader/writer and seeing what emulators make of it (Gens, Kega etc.) ? Or even looking through the rom dump with a hex reader to see if there's any ...

Apple has about 70% (or more) market share in the hard-drive based MP3 market. For a long time they said they wouldn't make a flash based player because they didn't see the point, guess they changed their mind to grab market share in the only sector they wern't in! It seems to be working as well ...
