8) sounds like you got your best options sorted - letterboxing sux - I know - try living in a country that runs on a pal system! we're used to it!

I was going to suggest something similar - I for one would be happy to contribute. Only if bitrate's cool with it - really there's no pressure its just that if he doesn't we will find out where he lives and make him play bc racers for two days straight while writing an essay on why plumbers is cultu...

Yeah I've mentioned it before - coding to M2 only started after the opera version was virtually complete and the 3do considered "dead". I have it on good authority that a playable beta existed for opera.

wow did I actually stump windowskiller! there's a first for everything :wink:

your dead right - personally I prefer to use the best of technology a device was designed for not some modern add on - call me a purist but it gets the best results.

upscaling causes a delay because the software/firmware is constantly redrawing/guessing pixels- most receivers allow you to adjust the sound delay but its not always effective. What type of video cable are you using - HDMI or component? coaxial digital is better than optical for audio in these cases...

When it comes to quality not quantity I think the 3do fanbase has it covered. While we are passionate its not at the expense of others and that sets us apart. On the subject of the cd32 - its largely ignored by the amiga community its just that the majority of games were ports of amiga 1200 games, s...

Trade news from OZ

Just thought I'd let you guys know some of the talk at a recent industry conference I attended here in Australia. Firstly sales percentages - Nintendo now control 51% of hardware sales here with a fairly even split between wii / ds . Sony combined ps2,ps3,psp makes up @ 38% (20 ps2 , 8psp , 10ps3) r...

I wasn't talking about a U.S list or a Japan list but a complete as we can get it list - I have titles that some people have but not others and I'm sure that its the same with a lot of us- if we all combine our lists we may just get close to the holy grail of having a complete index.

compiling 3do game lists
