One man's fight to play Sapphire! - Lots of pics

[BlueBMW]

Fixed!   I was excited last night that it even worked at all and hadn't switched it to 4:3.  Some games are ok stretched, but others not so much...

[Colossus1574]

Good stuff man!  Thanks for taking us thru your "Fight" round by round! hahah

ha ha I think the only people that talk crap about fake copies of sap[phire are the suckers who paid the cash for a real one or they bought it years ago so they could brag about it.  I do have to say one of these days I will be a sucker with a real copy.  Afar as what aspect ratio it depend on what u like.  If you like retarded lookin space ships so be it.  Some of the same people that dont like 6:9 aspect are the ones that butcher their system so it could play both regions.  It just depends on whats good for you  .jmo

I for one don't like the 6:9 ratio aspect, but I do like 16:9 ratio for movies.

Now buy yourself an XRGB-3 device and get back as best as just possible old fashioned true-scanlines on your flaty

[Necromancer]

Congrats, Bimmer.  Have you beat it yet?

[BlueBMW]

Got real close last night.  Although I was cheating by putting it on easy with 9 credits lol.

XRGBs don't give you real scanlines.  They look good, but still way different then real 15k scanlines.

Don't flush down all our big hopes for the non-crt existing future

Sapphire lose:

Playing 4:3 games in a 16:9 aspect ratio is.... ridiculous.

Dang...beat me to it.

Me, too.

I guess I should mention... that duo's connected via composite! 

So 16:9 + Composite means double fail

BLUE!  greatwork.  I woulda just wussed out and got a convertor to go with the Arcade card.. props to you for making that region mod!  the DUO with the switch looks awesome.  Enjoy Sapphire.  It's a game that needs to be played a few times to be fully appreciated.  I speak from experience as I sold a CIB minty sexy one last year after buying it from Tokyo since I didn't really dive into it, I wasn't really impressed and decided against paying $300 for collectibility only.  I bought it again this April and man I saw the light and it is one of my most treasured games now. 


I've been away for too long .... gotta get my stuff in order so I can comeback regularly.. argh.  moving to Singapore very soon likely !  hopefully they will have more PCE/gaming shops there compared to Commie-land (Shanghai)..

[Tatsujin]

Singapore? Whatcha gonna do there, tokei?

[ceti alpha]

Great work, beamer!! Looks good. Be careful of the stretch, though! haha

[Tatsujin]

Be careful of the stretch.

:teh axe:

Very nice to see the 4:3!! Felt almost as good as playing through a sweet game a second time to get 'the good ending'!!
