Looking for an honest opinion from current owners please. In your opinion is it worth getting one if you can’t be bothered with modifying / adjusting settings? Is it easy enough to simply pick up and play the majority of your steam library?

After I sold my PS5 I hooked up my PS3 to get through some of my pile of shame. FFXIII was the first (yes I know not many people like it) and I was honestly shocked that firstly, it didn’t need a lengthy installation and secondly there wasn’t any form of patch available for it! Both of which are reasons why ‘modern gaming’ has become so much of an issue for me as I don’t get time to play often being a single parent and it used to get me down putting a game in to find it took circa 30 minutes to install+update. I just don’t understand why so many games are half baked not tested these days. So yes! I’m currently revisiting too and enjoying it!

Thanks for that @SeanR - time to finally complete AVP then get it off to CEX!

Kudos to @strider for bringing up such a topic. It’s certainly something I can relate to. I’ve suffered from anxiety and interim bouts of depression most of my life and I find myself ‘collecting’ retro when I’m at my lowest. For me It’s a simple coping mechanism and I know exactly why I end up doing it which is quite simple………back in the days of the Saturn/PS1/N64 life was much simpler. Gaming was enjoyable and one of my main sources of ‘happiness’ back then. Whether it was pizza nights with friends and 4 player goldeneye or getting excited with the latest import Saturn games. No cares or worries in the world!! Then you grow up and life hits with you everything. Friends die, family pass away, money, mortgages, relationship, work, all of which cause stress, anxiety and low moods. So the body’s natural reaction is to try to ‘flee’ and return to times when life was happy. Sadly it’s only a short term release and it doesn’t really help in the long run. For @strider and anyone else who’s struggling just reach out. I for one am more than happy to spend an hour or so having a chat/catch-up/meet up with anyone who’s struggling with life. PS, hope the Saturn skeleton is still doing well

I have a jaguar in storage with AVP that probably deserves a new home. Feel free to make me an offer if anyones interested

Anyone here still trying to get a Series X?

Ok I’m going to start again on Moogle soon so I at least know a few familiar faces! I’m not too fussed about losing my character over on ragnorak but is there an easy way of transferring all of the gil/items from that character? Seem to just be reading conflicting info

I've just popped my Series X in the trading forum if anyone's still struggling to get one. https://www.rllmukforum.com/index.php?/topic/324512-xbox-series-x/&do=getNewComment

I’ve just restarted this myself after about 4 yrs off, didn’t even bother trying my old character as I can’t remember anything! I’m still on Ragnarok if anyones around. @djtickle?

I run a series x in the living room on a 4K set and a series s in the bedroom on a 1080p set. Both look awesome to me in that configuration which I’m guessing is what they intended. Being able to switch the yakuza games between the two with cloud saving is awesome.

@Ketchup - They’re pressed but don’t have the wobble required for a Saturn to read them without mod. It’s nothing new, even back in 1994 these were around and often referred to as ‘silvers’. Printers etc have obviously progressed since then which makes the repo element of the case/instructions a lot better than back then. This is the Facebook page of the particular group that supplied that one in the screenshot. Scan back to around feb and you’ll see videos of the production element. https://m.facebook.com/OldSchoolRetroartGames/

I’m sure you won’t be the only one asking When you need that Saturn modifying give me a shout!
