Oh yeah! I totally forgot about the Rockman OVAs! I wonder if I should add that info in though...the eighth entry is already pretty lengthy as it is.

Okay, moving on to #7! This one was pretty exhausting. I rewatched several documentaries and did quite a bit of research and fact checking on my own for this, and even got some help by the great Frank Cifaldi of the lostlevels.org. I hope you guys enjoy! http://satoshimatrix.wordpress.com/2012/03/05...

Alrighty guys, I've decided the best way to tackle the final top 10 is individual posts once a day for the next ten days. This way allows individual comments to be left for each entry, allows me time to write the next one without keeping you waiting for the whole thing, and avoids a monstrously larg...

I disagree. Its unfair to call it 'terrible'. There are much, much worse Famiclones out there. I don't own Paperboy to best, but I do own Tengen's Rolling Thunder, which is one of the few games that doesnt work on the standalone RetroDuo. On the RDP, it runs perfectly.

and Kirby. That's something I'd like to know myself. This NOAC seems to be bi-polar. One moment its producing audio that's completely fine, the next you get whatveer it passes off for music in Kirby/Crystialis/CV3. But just you wait for part 4, I'm going to show you guys what it does to Jackal and A...

RetroDuo Portable Video Review - SNES & NES 2-in-1

Hey guys, I thought I'd share with you my video review of the newly released RetroDuo Portable. This unit is the third of the portable SNES clones, but is third time a charm? I've split this review into two parts - hardware review and games compatibility stress test. I should have the second part up...

Yes! I tested it and it works perfectly! the weird thing about it is the button mapping - it maps PS2 Square to Triangle and vise versa, and PS2 Circle to X and vise versa. I guess maybe that's why it was left unmapped?

This very cool adapter converts Playstation 2 DuelShock, arcade stick or even PS1 controllers (including racing wheels) to work on Xbox, GameCube or Wii. http://ecx.imag...

Yes it certainly does work on the Powerpak. The Gradius II AC graphics hack isn't as pronounced as the Gradius 1 hack that vastly improves the Famicom Gradius visually and structurally, but I still wholeheartedly recommend checking it out. The differences are all cosmetic, using new sprites, tileset...
