Nice inbound !

I'm also thinking about getting a console...

I'm thinking of a PC Engine Core Grafx... Had one when I was student, and those machines are really fun.

Fancy one, @rubber_jonnie ?

I'm certainly going to, I have the Fenrir in mind for the Saturn and am also looking at the GDEMU VA1 for the Dreamcast (Mine is a VA1 variant).

@rubber_jonnie great to see you are getting that Saturn. Accessories were cheapest at CEX when I got mine, so might still be worth a look.

Usually it’s a disk height or laser error that stops them from working. It’s actually my fave retro machine that I own.

@HigashiJun youre just teasing us with all those lovely Japanese computers. Loads on my list from over there, just so expensive to get over here now but a PC Engine is definitely on my list.
If it ain't broke, test it to Destruction.

@rubber_jonnie if you can get a Fenrir at a good price then order two and I'll have one off you. They are usually all out of stock when I look.

Actually, I was going to try and get a Mini version, but they seem to be unobtanium at the moment. I would really like one though.

I'll see what I can do, but it's going to be a little way off I think, probably spring next year.

@PhilC

PC Engines are not so expensive here, but if you want something for 220V, you should check on Ebay for French consoles, which were sold by a company called SODIPENG.
