Now have to explain my wife how the monitor got here...

:lol:
Go for broke...

"Darling, how thoughtful of you to get me the matching monitor, what a lovely surprise, you're the best wife ever 😁"

I think you'll be OK with that.

Eventually, I didn't have to justify myself.

@alexh

Which emulator do you use ?

I have XEiJ, and it works flawlessly on MAC OS.

@HigashiJun nice monitor. My Commodore 1942 is basically the same spec and yes not having 24khz is no real worry.

My wife's cousin asked me the other day if she can help me with my 'otaku' hobbies, but looking at the usual places, like you said things seem to have gone up quite a bit in price.

I was going to ask her if she sees 'Game & Watch' about and their prices, as I've got a little collection going.

Upcoming Neo Geo AES+ is looking a (potential) bargain.

Ah, Game & Watch... My favourite games when I was a kid...

You can find some for reasonable prices on Mercari:

I was also thinking to buy the upcoming NeoGeo AES+ but it will be finally nay for me.

I can now play Street Fighter II properly on my X68.

Well, tried my new toy today after a good clean and it works perfectly.

SF2 was a pleasure to play. :D

May replace the buttons with Sanwa or Seimitsu ones, but later on...
