Finally got it! Got an adapter, and hooked it into my LCD and speakers and keyboard and mouse and went to town!
I have the introduction filmed, now I need to video the game running, but I won't be able to do that til late tomorrow.
Another thing I have noticed is that this system is near-useless without joysticks. None of the games I have tried use just mouse and keyboard, they require joysticks, the only thing I can play is Dungeon Master. Not the greatest video ever. XD
It is SO awesome hearing the R-Type song emulated though... Hmmm... I wonder if I can do Monkey Island?

I've moved this to the old games forum, bit more apt.
What is this system then? Got a picture of it?

I GOT A STICK! 2 sticks actually, two old Genesis arcade sticks, one is busted (but easily repaired) and one works PERFECTLY! SO HAPPY!
Andrew, I will now have a video shortly, my parents are watching TV though, so I'll film it later.
AMIGA IS THE BEST.
Also, question for anybody with a real A500, does R-Type throw a Guru when you use 2.04, or is my 2.04 kick corrupt? (It boots fine, but who knows?)

I have an A500 with 2.04, but I never tried to run anything on it. Just tinkered around with the workbench. I don't have a monitor or a TV adapter, so the output is greyscale, which is not acceptable!  Also, several of the keys constantly stick, and a few others do not work at all. |

You have a paper terminal Amiga? HARDCORE DUDE!  |

That's what he's talking about.  I have a monitor adapter for my A500 somehwere, but I couldn't find it last time I looked, so like sirpaul, my last Amiga 500 experience was a bummer. I do have an Amiga 1000 though with a HD. It's pretty cool, but finicky to get it working. I'm not sure if I have R-Type for it -- but I probably do. Maybe I'll tinker around with it soon. |

I'm trying to find an external scandoubler for my A500, so that I can plug my VGA monitor to it. At the very least, I would want to get the A520 RF modulator. I am also searching for another A500, one with 1.3 roms on it instead of 2.04, as that is what I am more used to, and I can switch between the two roms with ease. I know there are aftermarket items which allow you to install two different roms, but I'd rather have another A500.

2.04 kicks butt, but a lot of games gripe at it for some reason. |

That's another reason why I want 1.3. |
