@lucky if it helps you feel less despair, I met up today to reconnect with a local blaseball friend, and it came up that they were a big sega head growing up, so I dropped that I knew someone's whose favorite game was Tail of the Sun and they IMMEDIATELY went "oh that's a DEEP cut" and we chatted about it for a bit
@lucky tangentially related I relayed a cliff notes version your capture-card-VMU-while-in-NZ woes, when it came up that they have an old emac and desperately want a firewire-to-HDMI cable so they can stream old macintosh games on original hardware
so if you know a source....
