nice stuff mate... frigging image fight and splatterhouse omg.... you always amaze me with the marty titles and to even find a famicom game in the wild local by me is unheard of to be honest. keep em coming old friend.
Some brilliant pickups mate, "Last Resort", enough said! You must be one of the very few i know of who own the Marty, From what i've seen, seems it recieved some really classy looking arcade ports. As for your TV situation, there's always the (SLG3000) option heh! For the authentic scanline appearance. Andro Dunos is a good shooter in my view as well. Hope you recover the lost game eventually too, good luck with that one. :D
@MENDEZ1628 Just ordered an SLG3000, cant wait man! The Marty is a nice system, shame the games are so expensive but most of the ports are arcade perfect. Cheers mate
Some lovely shmup related pickups and riding hero! I managed to pick up a complete copy for 7 quid and can see why it was so cheap! Thanks for the lowdown on Andro too, I always wondered how it played
wow some ridiculously good pickups there. I buy alot from playasia and they are reliable and great cust service etc. but recently ive had a few games that have taken 5 wks to arrive, even to the point on not thinking id get them. I've just got otomedius x, bullet soul through but they arrived before eschatos which cam e out before and i ordered all of them at the same time as well as akai katana. Would love an fm towns. What advice can you give to someone who knows nothing about them..
@AmidstStorm model types, prices (i know theyre not cheap).. is it really worth the cash? im a shmup fan/collector so its been on my radar for awhile now.
@AmidstStorm Thanks man, There's 2 main FM Towns Marty Models, they are both identical hardware wise but there are a few cosmetic differences ie the Marty 2 is a darker grey and has yellow buttons, but that really is it. The Marty 1goes for about £150 and the Marty 2 about £250. There are some great games, but they are limited and expensive. Shmup wise you have Image Fight, Tatsujin Ou (awesome port), Raiden, Rayxaber, Kyukyoku Tiger, view point and Alltynex, but thats all I know of.
@AmidstStorm There may be others but information on the software library is really hard to get. Games are mega expensive as well, you could nearly buy the arcade PCB for the amount some people want on ebay, but there's a few websites you can download iso's and bargains do come along every so often. Hope that helps..
Brilliant pickups dude! You even got that 2D fighter with the muscleman on the cover, I had that with my JP PS2 but didn't know the name. Really nice Marty pickups, awesome AES, andro dunos looks superb, you gonna do any gameplay>? And wow, Last Resort, brilliant. Oh, cool scaler man!! And Alltynex looks solid as hell, bit of gameplay mashup with Andro would go down a dream! Anyway great pickups mate, choice stuff. Muchi Muchi Pork.
@futurematt5 Thanks Matt. You should give that 2D fighter another go, I know its not generally your thing, but it really is very good. Andro Dunos is a great little shmup, ok graphicly its not a patch on blazing/pulstar and the likes but the all important gameplay is there. I will indeed pop a vid up soon :)
Glad you found the scaler was as good as I thought. Only thing bad I've noticed is that sometimes straight horizontal lines have a slight bend in them, and vertical lines can wobble. I guess this is due to deinterlacing, but I think it does the best given the difficulty of the task. If I ever see a second-hand DVDO Edge or Duo for an affordable price I will upgrade, but for now I'm happy. It's a great way of capturing gameplay footage with a HDMI capture card too.
@shaurz Its an great bit of kit. I went about hooking up the RGB slightly different to yourself. I found these Scart to RGB and Composite adapters via 4 RCA jacks on ebay. To get the audio out, I brought a Scart male to Female pass through with 2 RCA audio jack out. I see what you mean about the vertical lines having a slight wobble sometimes. I only seem to get that through RGB though. S-Video is perfect. Thanks again mate.
@1NorthernOutpost Cheers, I'd say FM Towns Splatterhouse is nearly arcade perfect. Last Resort is a great game, its hard as so I'm chuffed to have the AES version. I've got the unibios mod so I can finally finish it!
@amurphy245 Lol!! If I get rid of the radiator, where would I hang my washing!? I got Splatterhouse from ebay in he end, won it in an auction for just under £50 delivered. Pretty good deal really, cheapest I could find it for in that condition was £90
Your pickups are legendary, love the marty stuff, I've bid on a few marty consoles but always lost them & then been sidetracked onto something else, this year its going to happen though & I will own one at last.
100% with you on muchi muchi pork, the crazy japanese humour in it wins through for me.
Good news on the paypal refund, still upsetting to hear you had so many problems in the first place though, just ordered taromaru Shinrei Jusatsushi from them so fingers crossed :)
@craigsheree Thanks, I cant recommend buying a Marty enough, its a great system. Good luck with getting one. I love the humour on Muchi Muchi Pork, Did you see the promo vid?(watch?v=Lkzv5JPVoro&feature=related) I was killing myself with laughter over the fat dude in the pink crop top! I'm sure you'll be fine with GOJ, on reflection I kinda feel bad about being so harsh, especially now the same thing has happened with playasia.
@alexgameroom Yes I remember seeing that vid, just rewatched it again though as that tune cant help but lift your spirits so early in the morning, the guy dancing is funny & it really shows how wacky the japanese can be :)
Yes, the marty has gone up pretty close to the top of my list now on your recomendation, in fact I've put a bid down on a game this morning, I'd like to buy the odd game or two ready for when I get the system when they cost so much, tatsujinoh looks like over £200 boxed!
Excellent gameroom you have Mr. Alex, very complete and very clean. Was a pleasure to send you Alltynex. I think FM Towns is a machine that sadly still has some games that are not in ISO format ( some collectors have the original and never will share ), and there is necessary to have the complete library for its preservation and enjoyment of the system. Take care and Thanks for your shout out !
@PepAlacant A pleasure as well and thank you sir! Yeah, there is still a few FM Towns games I'd love to have a go on but cant find, like Shadow of The Beast 2. Its a shame that certain collectors wont share. Still, I guess its up to people like us to collect and preserve what we can!

@alexgameroom There is Shadow of The Beast 2, Puzznic, Cameltry or Garou Densetsu Special that I never found an ISO. :(
I would share if I had... but it's difficult that anyone that having them make an ISO !
