Episode 392 - Analogue sent me their Duo for review... along with a bunch of other people who will have their videos out at the same time (sorry!). Anyway as a HUGE fan of the TurboGrafx-16, Turbo Duo and PC Engine platforms, you just know I was itching to get my hands on this one and see how it works.Let's see how it works with the launch v1.0a firmware.

So today a new firmware for the Duo went up. They fixed a few odds and ends. For example the Shinobi HuCard now works as well as a few others that didn't before. The Legendary Axe landing sound effect was fixed, but this nerfed a different sound effect in the same game (axe hitting an object). Growing pains. I'm sure it will all be good pretty soon.

"On the right side you get NOTHING" 😂😂😂 Thx for great video Joe!

As someone with an actual, no longer working Duo, this is relevant to my interests. Thanks for the fun review as always!

Finally watching an episode of GameSack without being hungover. Monday episodes should be the norm

A Sack 'sode in the middle of the day? Hot damn, this day keeps giving and giving!

They should release a "Game Sack" Special Firmware where you can change the LED color. It will be in a menu called Joe Mode.

Wow using this thing sounds like the best of PC gaming, endless tinkering and adjusting options for the optimal experience, to the point where you spend more time in menus than gaming. In other words the best of the best!

Thanks for the pro tip of removing the flash drive cover to get it to work! MY DUO is on its way. Great video.

Some people come for the tech, but I personally come for the sack.

Good to know that the two games I coded for the PCE are recognized by the system and run fine. Thank you for showing that they work! This looks like it's worth the cost. PCE4LYFE :)

Anybody else notice that the song at 3:39 is just one note away from being the chorus of September by Earth Wind & Fire? Move the third note up by a whole tone and it's exactly the same melody.

one of the very few channels that does actual reviews of this sort of stuff.

This channel got me into Turbo Grafx; I'm glad to see it getting more support.

My favorite thing about Analogue systems is they cost a lot and if you don't pre-order one you're probably not getting one.

Didn't expect a new ep of Game Sack being released today. But I'm grateful for it. Nice review too.

Hold Select + II + I on the bottom of the 8bitdo controller for a few seconds and the light will blink twice for medium and 3 times for the fastest speed to adjust the speed.

I love the fact the credits roll with just a dusty duo. Joe is taking a stand, dammit.

I always watch these in 4k so I can check out how well Joe's been taking care of his ginger beard. Or not taking care of it.

The attention to detail for individual games is very thorough!

Analogue: "It's not emulation" Game Sack: "Here's an 18 minute video of this thing not working as well as original hardware"
