@budmonster:You mentioned transferring to the new PS4 via your external drive? That's extremely easy - Either transfer the games from the external to the new PS4's HD or play them straight from the external.

The 2TB drive you're installing in the Pro needs to be prepared in the way mentioned in post 4.

@budmonster: That should work fine. It's basically what I did when moving from PS4 to Pro.

I doubt we'll see a significantly more powerful Pi anytime soon - It's an educational tool at heart, manufactured down to a price.

A current Pi 3 will run up to PS1 (but not the other consoles of that generation) pretty much flawlessly. In fact, I dumped all my PS1 discs to a usb drive and spent far too much on this case on Etsy for my second Pi.

It was either that or gut one of my PS1s (I have 4) and stick a Pi + HD inside. Maybe next year.

I broke my leg dancing to a song on Top of the Pops when I was a kid.

Best/daftest one was my granddad - When they were teenagers, him and his brother were chopping wood in the shed and my granddad said "Bet you can't hit that" and stretched out his index finger on the chopping block. My uncle Ray duly raised the axe and obliged...

He lost half his finger.

@inevpatoria: I can confirm that KOTOR runs fantastically well. It also looks not far off the PC version.

I spent a couple of hours trying to find my Ninja Gaiden disc earlier and eventually gave up and bought it on XBL. Again, really impressed with the quality - We're talking not far off HD remaster or Ninja Gaiden Sigma levels.

It's a noticeable step up from the PS2 stuff on PS4.

@retrometal:

In its entirety, the Pi's around £30 but you'll need a microSD card, controller, case, power supply so you're best off going for an all-in-one kit to begin with.

That particular NES-alike case is in short supply and scalpers are charging £35+ for one, but I got mine in a group buy for little more than a tenner.

Did mine about a year ago and recently went full idiot and put it in a Retroflag NESPi case.

I've found the 8bitdo pads to be hot garbage and usually run mine with a couple of iBuffalo SNES pads or a cheap Gioteck PS3 pad if I want something wireless or with analogue sticks.

The only disc from the initial list I still have is KOTOR, and I'm really happy with how good it looks now. I'd need to take my 360 out of its crypt to compare but it seems an awful lot better than last gen's Xbox compatibility.

I picked up a new One S last week dirt cheap - a cousin got it along with his cellphone contract, and already had one - and all I've used it for is 360 b/c stuff, which has generally been excellent. I hope the OG Xbox stuff is of the same standard.

Best hire since the blinking travelogue-ist. Abby gets it, man.
