Look what just arrived! Now I can put my Analogue Duo and Analogue Mega Sg through their paces. Any recommendations on which games to play first?

Hey community, first off, you all ROCK! I have been enjoying my Analogue Pocket so much that it got me thinking about the potential for the MiSTer platform itself. I'm looking for some assistance from you all. What is the best way to get into this? I've found a few links to "complete" solutions, but I would rather hear what you all say. If there is a one-click solution that would be amazing so I don't need to worry about anything, just order the product and then install a few files and away we go. Do you have recommendations? I want to make sure I get everything I need. I've heard there is an Updater that works like it does on the Analogue Pocket where it installs everything you need automatically. That would be a dream. I am really looking to get SEGA CD, and other CD-based systems. The Pocket has a beta for PC Engine but it's rough, I've heard the MiSTer is just about perfect for some of these and that there's even a Saturn core that's coming along nicely.
Thank you all in advance for any information you can provide or advice you can give :)

I can't even begin to tell you how much fun I've been having lately with my Pocket. The Genesis and SNES cores are perfect and I've been enjoying so many classics. I've been having so much fun in fact that I'm going to bring back Retro Wednesdays alongside Saturnday. These won't be weekly videos because I really want to re-experience these classics. Either way, it'll be fun discussing so many games I never had the chance to talk about before. So many good times ahead everyone.

I just got this in the mail, and needless to say I'm having a blast with it and the Analogue Pocket with the Neo Geo Core. I can't believe how much fun I've been having with the Analogue Pocket. I swear I think I'm going to be using this for almost all my retro game reviews moving forward as the system is just so bloody handy. I've also got a SNES, and Genesis controller on standby too so I mix and match depending on what I'm playing. If someone out there can make an Atomiswave core I'll be one happy camper.

The madness beings! Oh boy was this an expensive week ladies and gentlemen. In order to record footage for you for Saturday's return I needed some gear. First up was a new capture card that would work with my new all-Mac setup I have at home (M2 MacBook Air and M3 iMac fully spec'd out).
Elgato HD60 X: www.elgato.com/ca/en/p/game-capture-hd60-x
This bad boy let me connect to my new M3 iMac, and use OBS to capture 1080p 60fps, which is precisely what the RetroTINK 5X-Pro outputs, so yay, that's one item down. The catch is that since this is on a Mac, it doesn't have the horsepower to allow for me to use Elgato's game capture software which means I needed a separate monitor to actually play the games on, so this one was on sale on Amazon and I grabbed it.
15.6" 4K Portable Display: www.amazon.ca/dp/B0CCVQ5HHD?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt…
Why 4K you might ask, because technically I can record Xbox and PS5 footage with this too should I desire down the road, even if the capture limit is stuck at 1080p. The monitor works great as it allows me to easily connect to the new capture card via HDMI, and power it via USB-C, but that meant I was running low on ports on my new iMac (has 4 ports, 1 is locked to my 1TB SSD and another is connected to my Blue Yeti microphone). So I had to get this dock to expand the number of ports I have on my computer.
Minisopuru USB-C Hub: www.amazon.ca/dp/B09XVCL71R?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_pro…
This thing is incredible! It not only looks like Apple made it, but the iMac fits snuggly into it and grants me a lot of wonderful expansion options, which is 100% what I needed to make this setup work. EverDrives require SD cards, so that's omega helpful to now have built right into the computer hub. I have to say I'm thrilled to have this and highly recommend it for any iMac user. Next up I wanted to do more than just be able to capture Switch and Saturn content. I have Analogue Interactive systems here after all so why not pick up an EverDrive or two so I could mix things up for Retro Wednesdays, which I also plan to revive.
Turbo EverDrive Pro: krikzz.com/our-products/cartridges/turbo-everdrive…
Mega EverDrive Pro: krikzz.com/our-products/cartridges/mega-everdrive-…
With all of this I figure I am officially good to go. Now I just have to wait for Saturday to have the time available to connect everything and away I go. One very cool thing I didn't mention is that the iMac hub actually allows for an M.2 SSD, so I also purchased one of those.
1TB M.2 SSD: www.amazon.ca/dp/B09QV692XY?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt…
I got a decent deal on it so I figure I can use the extra storage for all the ROMs I need. Speaking of which, I got everything ready for the Saturn, Genesis, and TG-16, so I'm officially ready to go! Needless to say this was a VERY expensive few weeks when you include the RetroTINK and Satiator, and something to be mindful of if you ever plan to do something similar yourself. These gadgets are very pricey, but absolutely necessary to make my comeback to YouTube.
Thanks for reading everyone, and I hope you'll join me on this return journey. I'm trying my absolute best to get you all 1 video every week of varying content, so maybe it'll be a podcast, maybe a vlog, perhaps a review, etc. When I have additional content, I'll go ahead and post that too so you should always have something to look forward to :)

Hey everyone, as I ramp up the various equipment needs I have (wait until you see everything I've had to order), I stumbled onto this really cool one that I wanted to share. As you all know in order to use an EverDrive on the Analogue Duo you need to remove the outer casing of the Turbo EverDrive Pro. I didn't really want to do that, even though yes I know it only takes a few seconds, but still, so instead I found Guinea Pig Games (guineapiggames.com/products/analogue-duo-cartridge…) who created a fun solution to the problem, a sort of extender. I know this will only appeal to less than 1% of folks out there, but since I found it I figured I would share for anyone interested in the Analogue Duo who doesn't want to touch their EverDrive.
Tomorrow I'll share the various other pieces of equipment I had to order and you'll see the absolute madness that is my road to Saturnday's return.

Hey everyone, I need your help! I already reached out to Saturn Dave to give me some advice, but I figure I'll ask the rest of the community too. Long story short, I am currently running two companies out of my home, and so I've had to put the vast majority of my gaming collection in storage for safe keeping. That means I need alternatives to the original systems and games to tackle certain systems. I know years back there were several prototypes going around for the Saturn that allows you to play ROM dumps directly on original hardware. Did anyone make progress on these? I don't want to just emulate the games on the computer, that's boring. I would like to stay as close to the originals as possible if I can. I'm looking to see what creative solutions the community has come up with because the Saturn is starting to get up there in age and those CD-drive won't last forever.
I did have a Polymega that I was in a beta program with, and I uploaded almost my entire collection to that thing...and then when the final units were available the company never shipped me my system. So...that's out. Anyways if anyone has any suggestions or angles I should look into, please let me know. While I know most of you want to see Saturn coverage, I'm looking for solutions for the SEGA CD, and PS1 as well. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Ahmed told me to check out, Mameda no Bakeru for the Nintendo Switch and so far it’s been really fun. It’s on the list of games I’d like to cover on the channel. A nice Japanese exclusive that anyone can play and enjoy :)
