  1. Ahem... Glad you got it sorted. Is that the heavy sizer at the front? Hard to tell on that photo. For the love of the little baby Jesus' angel hair, don't Piminate that! They needs to be lovingly restored...
  2. Wha? I can take it or leave it, right? Right?
  3. heh. "Casual".... That's how it starts... {Remembers 17 years ago..."What!? I can play commodore 64 games on my PC!?"
  4. Welcome JB + good choice. What's your plans? Cab, HTPC, PC?
  5. That's not a nice way to talk about Classic, Felix! Damn - 2001 - back when Ben Heck still had his soul. He looks so fed up on his show now since he's been bought out by the man. Amazing he was hacking all the way back then...
  6. many happy ones...
  7. Oh. No doubt you'll do it. Dodgy RF box? (As the vicar said to the milkmaid)
  8. @RIP-Felix: Gonna start calling you Ben Heck. @ClassicGMR: Errr..Ben Heck made one of his creations for you? o.O
  9. Now looks f'ing awesome. Makes me wanna go to the states
  10. I love those Sears replicas. Sadly - you never see them come up here in the UK.
  11. O.o Whao - kudos - ya seen the Floyd.. Some awesome pics
  12. 15V on a 9V system doesn't sound good. However, 80s electronics are built like tanks, so who knows!? Easiest way = buy a cheap 9V PSU from ebay (better still, a variable for future projects!) and give her a go... Of course, you are just looking for and excuse to call it dead, right, so you can start modding that case..
  13. Cool links + nice boards. Great that these guys shared + including a parts list with digikey part numbers just tops it all! Only thing is it's a bit scant on the functionality, though. Cant find any docs on the fan control for instance. How come the Mosfet? I've just used a surface mount transistor on mine to switch the 5V fan supply on and off via the 3.3V GPIO signal. Hope it doesn't blow up! :S
  14. Great reading, Felix! And I'm normally a guy who sticks to the funny papers. I'm loving all this stuff at the moment. Gone from full cab to renovating retro-console - loving the big to small switch! Just finished designing my own power/led/fan controller board for the Pi and perfected the pcb production technique through photo-resist methods. Absolutely love that NFC Reader embedded into cartridge tray vid. That guy's worked hard at that, no? Look forward to seeing the final product in action!
  15. Your nic always makes me think of chicken. Happy burpday, old boy!
  16. One could argue that everyone seeing things the same is a true mark of insanity...
  17. Cheeky monkey. I was referring to the sex dolls.
  18. Wow. Who sent you a picture of my living room?
  19. Ah. Then I read it wrong. However, wow - you have to be rich here in the UK to be able to afford houses like that!
  20. errr - so he built a room full of models/stuff? Naw. More money than sense/true creative flair, that fella. Now, if he'd converted it into a holodeck, I'd have been impressed.
  21. You are gonna have to tell us Terry whether it's a do-able job to refit another display. Otherwise, we'll join you in your mourning. I never did see 1942 on that bad boy...
  22. Now that, sir, is a top tip to a seasoned GameEx tinkerer! Thanks
  23. Yep. Working here OK now too. Very nice setup. Good GameEx showcase build. You could screencap it with OBS Studio and post it here: btw - how did you remove the translucent background to the letters on the GameEx onscreen keyboard?
  24. Ouch. In terms of the insurance payout, make sure you estimate your hourly rate high, as there's no one else who could fit a replacement, right? They were just jealous.
