Turn on the ps1 with both memory cards (the pro and the card with the save you want to move) plugged in, with your MemCard Pro in slot 1. Choose the game of the save you want to copy on xstation and allow the memcard pro to create a virtual card for the game. Now, Turn your ps1 off, open the tray, leave it open so the xstation isn’t read, and turn your ps1 back on. You should eventually be at the blue screen with the access to memory cards and cd player. Choose memory card. Your memcard pro is still on the last game that was played- the title of the last game should still be on the memcard pro’s screen…..so take the save from that game in memory card slot 2, and just copy the save over to the memcard pro. Once it’s copied, turn off the ps, close the tray, turn on the ps, and select the game on x station. When you go to load your game, or auto load in some cases, it will work! Do this per game. Don’t put saves of other games in. This eliminates the need of taking out the sd card to use on the computer, and not needing to look up the serial number for the game either! 07:37  Bluetooth controller adapter for wired controllers? 09:45  How to bounce back from a modding L 15:17  Bluetooth Transmitter for using Retro Consoles with BT Headsets:  https://amzn.to/3CbA25s Decent ADC?:  https://amzn.to/3CaqOq7 19:58  PS2 Controller to USB adapter, for Final Fantasy?  This looks suspect, but at under $10, maybe worth a try?:  https://amzn.to/3CaYAM6 Bluetooth Adapters on MiSTer Page:  https://www.retrorgb.com/mister.html 23:03  PS2, Dreamcast & GameCube via RetroNAS Need a DC & MODE to start testing with RetroNAS.

Interview With: Rich Whitehouse

I recently had the opportunity to speak with Rich Whitehouse:  Creator of the BigPEmu for the Atari Jaguar, contributor to the Video Game History Foundation and longtime game developer.  There were so many things I wanted to talk to Rich about, but we kept it (mostly) focused around the Jag emulator, as well as his recent (winning!) battle with cancer and his beginnings as a game programmer.  I hope this is the first of many chat's we can have and hope you all enjoy it! Support Rich Here:  https://www.patreon.com/richwhitehouse As always, these long-form podcasts are also available as a video at:  https://www.youtube.com/retrorgb Rich was also recently a guest on the Kraz productions podcast and I wanted to share that as well - If you want more Rich in your life, give this one a listen as well!  https://youtu.be/rUfG2rR6Fno Please consider supporting this channel via monthly support services, tips, or even just by using our affiliate links to purchase things you were already going to buy anyway, at no extra cost to you: https://www.retrorgb.com/support.html T-Shirts: https://www.retrorgb.com/store.html All equipment used to shoot this video can be found here: https://www.amazon.com/shop/retrorgb

Interview with Shiro! Magazine Creators

After receiving the 1st issue of the Sega Saturn "fanzine" Shiro! Magazine, I absolutely HAD to talk to the creators. While I've done some podcasts with the crew before, I was so blown away by the quality and authenticity of it, that I really wanted to hear the story behind it. If you're even slightly interested in retro-themed magazines, the Sega Saturn and good dev stories, definitely listen to this one! As always, these long-form podcasts are also available are also available as a video - Check the main page for links:  https://www.retrorgb.com/interview-with-shiro-magazine-creators.html Get the magazine here:  https://www.segasaturnshiro.com/shiro-magazine/ Support the Shiro! crew:  https://www.patreon.com/shiromediagroup Please consider supporting this channel via monthly support services, tips, or even just by using our affiliate links to purchase things you were already going to buy anyway, at no extra cost to you: https://www.retrorgb.com/support.html T-Shirts: https://www.retrorgb.com/store.html All equipment used to shoot this video can be found here: https://www.amazon.com/shop/retrorgb
