Where did you get that from?  I know the ROM has been around for a while, didn't know it was on any carts.  Looks pretty nice!

That's what was said about the dsi: xl. Bigger screens makes a huge difference in gameplay and distinguishing items in the game that you wouldn't normally see because the screen isn't as big on the regular dsi.

The 3ds xl has smaller changes, like button layout, and supposedly "less glare" on the screen. Not sure what that means (don't have a 3ds).

Oh my Lord! That image of Tatsujin is BURNED INTO MY BRAIN.

My brain hurts.

It hurts.

don't worry too much, always think it's only a photoshopped image and doesn't have to do anything with reality

But tats--IT'S NOT PHOTOSHOPPED. That photo captured a reality that hurts my brain.

My new electronic video endoscopy monitor!
Errrr Sony PVM 2030, the mac daddy of PVMs
The picture quality is terrific but I need to make a couple adjustments. Also ordered the 25pin to SCART cable for it so I can use the RGB. This pic doesn't do it justice.

I just got this in the mail today, a significant upgrade from my old programmer, I've just got to figure it out now.

On top of that, I've recently obtained a boat of goodies, but i'll post it in a pic later

Sweet PVM punk!  Bartre, let me know how well that programmer works.  My current one is a little flaky at times (I think its a chinese repro knockoff of one of the willem programmers)

My recent gets:

Mixer for the X68000 midi stuff, no more swapping cables etc.


And an FM Towns II + Tatsujin Oh!

[Nando]

Tatsujin Oh!

DROOL!!

[TheClash603]

FM Towns is badass.

I said it before and I say it again.  You got all the toys!

[Mathius]

well, as of now, i've tested it with about a dozen chips, and there's really no comparison.
this thing is pretty sweet, i've had 0 problems.
as a point of comparison, it typically took me 6-10 minutes to program a 27c801 eprom chip with 1 Megabyte of data.
on the GQ-4X, 46.47 seconds.

additionally, the software is infinitely better and simpler.
