I don't have much to add here. You guys seem to have been given enough advice and I wouldn't want to confuse you more by smacking down anything anyone else has said. I'll just say STAY AWAY FROM GIGABYTE regardless of what anyone else says. They can't hold their own against better board makers like Asus or DFI. Oh and thanks for pointing out the Phenom Don illMatiX, I just googled some on it and it seems my Asus M2R32-MVP will be able to run em via a bios update. SCHWEET! Quad Core with no expensive motherboard upgrade.

Ok I gutted the entire wiring, it just wasn't going to work as it was custom. I kept it for all the connectors though. ANother pic, wife playing finally. Only thing not wired up is 2P controls, coin door and service switches (Though those are built right into F3 motherboard) http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/2866/hpim1195mu9.jpg

It's alive! Well mostly, theres only AV hooked up and the scoreboard I only tested for AC continuity. But heres pics! Game running is my Taito F3 hardware with Puzzle Bobble 2. http://img502.imageshack.us/my.php?image=hpim1189hf6.jpg http://img141.imageshack.us/my.php?image=hpim1192vg6.jpg http://img218.imageshack.us/my.php?image=hpim1194id6.jpg

I ripped the cabinet apart for ease of getting it inside. Figured what the hell, it needs a good cleaning anyway. Witness the Frankenstein!

I already made my prediction 2 weeks ago. NE 21 - NYG 7

I got the monitors out, going to be alot lighter getting it inside now. I don't like fighting games sammaz, I'm probably going to MAME one side of it.

I may, sheesh people I hasn't even got it in the house yet lol Oh I dug up Cached Google page and grabbed pics of it where it was. Here.

No need for 4 controls unless you have a 4 player game I guess. The other sets of controls are in the cab though, actually 1 stick and a Jamma harness are sitting ontop of one CP in one of the pics. The empty spots have caps over them, so the CP is smooth where unused spots are. I'll probably wind up putting them all in anyway, so if we want to sit on same side we can.

To start with, my Taito F3 hardware. I currently only own a Puzzle Bobble 2 cart for it.

You know you want to hate me like Wiz and Mag seem to. I bring couple of late at night, crammed in my shed before move into house pics, as ad with nice piccies taken down since I buy it! And they have reason to be mad, I paid $310 shipped to my frickin doorstep! w00t! http://img128.imageshack.us/my.php?image=hpim1183gk5.jpg http://img112.imageshack.us/my.php?image=hpim1184qm8.jpg BTW, the cab has 2 sides. See - http://www.system16.com/hardware.php?id=843&page=1#2835 that is cab.

The scale is so small, it couldn't be but an insect if it was alive. The rover isn't some huge machine the size of a car FFS. It's not alives!

I take server offline for time being. If there is interest again, just say so. Till then, server go bye bye.

I'd rather eat my own feces after a week long binge on Taco Bell.

Dreamcast for it's SH4 horsepower, coupled with SNES/N64 cartridge based media for custom DSPs etc on cart (Optical media killed innovation, I don't care what anyone says) and the Playstation DS controller (Dreamcast controller is one of the worst controllers I've ever used). Dreamcast + SNES + PS1 = Sweet!

Missed that, have you tried setting compatibility modes? I assume you're running XP.

The Falcon motherboard has been around for quite some time now. It's only got changed heatsink and 65nm CPU. They've been in the wild for over 4 months now. Jasper will have 65nm CPU AND GPU, and will hopefully be more stable than current units. I'm not buying a 360 until the RROD thing is, a thing of the past.

Disable digital audio on the virtual drive with analog enabled, then try.

You need use an old version of DT for this to work, or something like BK suggested. For some reason, newer DT doesn't work. I had to use an older one for PCE CD games too.

+1 OLD Get back to me when Jasper comes 'round.

Hardware: Battery Charger Platform: Nintendo DS Lite Manufacturer: Shenzhen YuYuan Electronics Factory (This took some research of sku/PN to discern, package doesn't state) What's included: Charging station, USB cable and screwdriver (Screwdriver BONUS, not mentioned) Only picture of both I could find. Unit comes in 1 of 2 colors. Here I find myself needing another battery for my DS Lite, as my wife and I tend to play often enough, that the 3-4 hour wait on charging is annoying and so is sitting near a wall outlet with the charge cable plugged in. I decided to pick another one up, a 3rd party one, as Nintendo brand batteries aren't cheap (They aren't expensive either however) and I wasn't too pleased to see Nintendo charging $15 USD for a battery and $18.75 CAD for the exact same item. Shove it Nintendo, the dollar is pretty much par and at the time of me looking, CAD was worth MORE. Anyway, I came to the conclusion that it would be rather useless to have a second battery, with no way to charge it short of swapping and charging. Which kind of defeats the point of having this second battery in the first place don't you think? I searched and searched until I came across something I knew would do the job. A USB Dock charging station. Excellent! Just what I had in mind, I'll buy one! If finally arrives, and I open the package. Wow, it's TINY! I mean I knew how small DS batteries are, and I even saw the pic of the dock.......but I never pictured it THAT small. It fits in the palm of my hand, and it's roughly 1/3 the size of my DS Lite. Cool! Now lets pop my battery in and see how it works, cause I've got a battery in need of charging. So I pop it in.........nothing. Oh great, Made in China bites me in the ass again. I decide it may be the design of this 3rd party battery, so I put my official one in, and the light flickers for a second, and no it's not charging either. Must be something keeping it from making contact, and being me I decide I should open it up, afterall I only paid like $6 or $7 for it. So I pull it apart, taking the mere 7 screws out (4 in case, 3 in PCB) and I have a look at the contacts. Nothing odd, cheaply constructed but I see nothing wrong. So I pop a battery in, and I see that the contacts, which are actually a long thin strip of metal, are moving AWAY from the casing causing them to lose contact with the battery. I can fix this! I pull out my soldering iron, and proceed to push this metal strips down with it while heating them. I melt the plastic enough to recess them and I melt more plastic over them to keep them in place. Put everything back together, pop a battery in and it works PERFECT! Charge time is roughly the same time over USB as it is with the AC adapter, but may be slightly longer with a slight voltage difference between the 5.2 over AC and straight up 5v over USB, but I can't say I sat there and watched it charge. The unit has a nice dual mode LED that glows orange while charging, and turns green when done. It also comes with a little screwdriver for the battery compartment tucked neatly into the side of the charger. BONUS, as this isn't mentioned on the packaging or anywhere the item is sold from what I could see. Overall I would have to recommend this unit if you need an external charger. Beyond the minor design flaw, which COULD be something uncommon but is easily fixed if you have a soldering iron, this is a great little unit for very little money. Pros Inexpensive Small footprint (Fits in your palm) Comes with screwdriver to remove battery Can use AC adapter to charge or USB Looks fairly professionally made Cons Cheaply constructed. Although it looks good, it is cheap and may break easy if dropped. Design flaw in metal contacts. Easily fixed, but you simply shouldn't have to.

I will second that, but state that Renegade was FUN. So long as they don't go the same route, but its FUN and plays like it belongs in the C&C Universe, I will enjoy. Renegade may have been poorly put together, but it stuck to the methodology of the C&C Universe and again.......wuz FUN!

I no find that funny AT ALL. Rates 1/5.

Err can I say's this heer? www.sp@nkwire.com

Use whatever dash you want. Throw EvoX on there somewhere else and run it, format from there AND do a backup. Then FTP and archive that backup. Re: Backup - Use it to prepare and lock the new HD with XboxHDM. Softmod, TSOP, modchip not required once you have the EEPROM/HDKEY backed up.

1: Only 10GB+ drives can have an F partition. The stock 8GB can't, but the Seagate 10 can. Make sure of what drive you have in there if you didn't replace it. 2: UnleashX has NEVER worked for doing this for me, EVER. Use something else. (Google or check Xbox-Scene.com)
