I found out that there was going to be a release party in for Umjammer Lammy in New york City.
I was nearby, so I decided to head over there. I packed up my PlayStation, hopped on the subway and headed to the Bowery.

When I arrived, I realized the event was invite only. I had seen the press release on the Sony...

For a long while now, I have felt that we need a wiki for all the stuff that happens in our little community. The world of prototype hunting is fragmented, as each site/forum caters to their own sub-niche. There is nothing wrong with that, but it becomes difficult (for me at least) to keep up with what was released where and when, by whom and why. To remedy this me, and my small team have been working on turning my old site into a wiki to make all this...

I am having this incredibly annoying problem.

I have a bunch of Famicoms and a bunch of these Chinese Coolboy multicarts.

The multicarts seem to work fine on some of my consoles but won't load on others.

Any idea why?

Previous threads didn't get updated too well, and the 2015 thread was pretty abysmal. I'm going to attempt keeping more up to date, and of course everything depends on forum members here sharing news about new releases since I'm sure to miss a lot of things. Also be sure to let us know if any links have become invalid.

I recently acquired some material from tichua, and among it were some old disks from the defunct Point of View studio.

On the disks I found material on POV's work on Sonic X-treme, which I am now trying to resurrect.

Some code is supposed to run on Windows 95 (I have a full Win95 PC setup), and I found the required compiler, but it also requires a Diamond Edge 3D NVidia NV1 video card, which I am now trying to source; any help is appreciated.

The code also requires the...

I was searching for a kisok Wii u to put in my Wii u kiosk which was just missing the system. So I got the system home and hooked it up and it boots to a devmenu or that's what it says. I hooked up a usb keyboard and I can change the settings and it says there are 26 things installed on it. Also the cord on the system is not Curley like on my kiosk it's straight.
