I have a funny story with ET. When I was a kid I had no console (they were super expensive here in South America), and I happened to pass by a garbage bin with an immaculate Atari 2600 and guess what game they threw the console with? Anyway, just the title screen with ET’s face and music amazed me, and also the fact that I had no idea what to do in the game helped to keep the illusion.
That’s awesome! It was your destiny to play video games!
How do you release a game in this condition? The port of Berzerk on Atari 5200 is atrocious. It’s like Atari didn’t even care. I don’t think anyone from my generation is working on this Atari 50 anniversary collection. They weren’t there when these games launched and they have no idea what these classic games looked or sounded like back in the day. So they just assumed that Berzerk sounded that bad on Atari 5200. It feels like a, whatever attitude here. It’s insulting considering the love and care they present here about the history of Atari. Preserving the games in a proper manner would go a long way.
Hey, just a heads up to everyone in the community, I’ve made several of my Nintendo related videos private on my YouTube channel. So if you’re wondering why you can’t find certain Nintendo bezels on my channel, that’s the reason why. As some of you may know, Nintendo has been going after Nintendo emulation videos, mostly Switch for now. So, there you have it.
Hey so umm, i tried to use the NES border but sides next to the border are black, i do have a screenshot if that helps.
Go to video and then scaling in Retroarch. You can adjust the size of the screen to fit the bezel.
Awesomeness as always pal!
Do any Apple Bandai Pippin and FM Towns Marty bezels exist?
I searched @Duimon’s console bezels and didn’t find the FM Towns Marty nor the Apple Bandai Pippin. Or maybe I haven’t searched hard enough…
Nope, you are correct… these two are not in my collection.
FYI, they are also not on my to do list.
When I was doing R&D to add systems to my list, I was unimpressed with the MAME emulation for the Pippin and didn’t thing the design of the Marty console (Very minimal) added anything to the collection. The Marty is, after all, just a Towns in a different box.
I picked the FM Towns ll because it is, IMO, the most attractive choice that exists.
I am happy to revisit the Pippin in the future if emulation improves.
The thing also is that there’s no FM Towns Marty core for Retroarch to use a bezel with it. I can make one for show? Maybe will eventually get a working FM Towns Marty core for Retroarch?
That would be great!
