As a tech, I'd suggest one of the following is true: Your power supply is failing. Easily tested and cheaply replaced, but a possible culprit. Not likely IMHO, but possible. Your mobo is failing. My cabinet was acting the same way, except it would seem to be working fine minus the monitor and the keyboard. Like it was booting and not loading kind of... The power light was on, HDD activity was on, fans on, you could hear the HDD spinning, but no BIOS screen (the monitor was telling me it was unlugged), and the keyboard never responded. I replaced my mobo and the cabinet is working fine, even though the only component I changed was the mobo (same RAM, same processor, same HDDs, same video/sound cards, etc). In all honesty you seem to be exactly where I was before the mobo replacement. It seemed to need coaching (like holding the power button, leaving it off and unplugged for 45 mins, cmos jumpers, holding the power button for 90 secs after unplugging...) and one day it just stopped turning on with even all the gentle pushing I was doing.. You ca get a mobo cheap on Amazon that will slide in where your last one was... Just don't get a refurbished one.

Hint: you can't "smell" an NSF file. Lol!

I hand rip all my sounds. Most emus have music file players and I then capture and edit right off the sound card. Nothing beats your own rips.

Ohh I like that! But why does everything have to be so black and white? Lol! Good choice of products and nice work on the marquee!

/off topic: love the dog man! I got a best friend named Champ who happens to be a german shepherd. Great dogs! Welcome to the forums!

Wow harsh criticism for FF VII man. It broke the glass ceiling, totally deserves the credit it gets. The N64 Zeldas may be weaker entries in the franchise as a whole but overrated is a strong word. You're right about Square Enix in some aspects but they still rock DQ and well at that. DQ 9 was the best yet. 2D JRPGs are still my fave.

Personally I thought it was a # ...

Thanks vsilvalopes! I see there's a configuration form in here too (although it's in a different language). Lemmie see what I can do with it.

If he programs in .net I'm happy to contribute to this functionality. Either way it shouldn't be too tough. I can contribute code if you use a language I know.

Lol! Off topic: Draco, will you quit stealing my beer? Lol!

Lol! Told ya! Next give Zen Intergalactic Ninja a try.

Side note: Tim Schafer interests me greatly. I'll +1 your Brütal Legend, it was a bitching game. Did it break the glass ceiling? Not so much. That being said... I'm watching his fan-funded point and click closely and can't wait to see what comes of it. Making games for the people is a great idea... who would have thought? Lol!

Its nice to have people around to be nice to!

Underrated = Zelda Spirit Tracks (people bash this game but I absolutely loved it!), and all the Dragon Quest games (it sucks they don't get much love in the US). Overrated = The COD franchise (Sorry, I suck at FPS games), Madden (roster updates! Stop gouging, EA!), and the Saints Row franchise. Best = Probably has to be Final Fantasy VI or VII. Both great experiences all the way through. Skyrim is pretty great too. Worst = Lots of games belong on this list! Off the top of my head, I'll say Athena for NES. Boy was I pissed when I popped that in! LOL!

Actually its a case of running the reg key. No need to do anything other than that even.

Thanks for the tip! I have it on ps3 already, but would have snagged it if I didn't.

Also, have a look at this. I suspect it's the loader I'll be using after following Han's thread.

Unfortunately I'm away from my machine right now and cant look at my setup, but isn't it: VPinball.exe - play "[ROMPATH]/[ROMFILE]" I'm confused as to wether or not you have that or VPinball.exe - play [ROMPATH] in your command line.

So the loose translation: Hey Adultery! I understand your favorite VP table is JPSalas's "Millionaire", but no one else is into it because it really was a basic table and no one shares your nostalgia, and since the physics are shot you should use an older version of VP. *LOL* /side note: You can easily use different builds and put them into the same "emulator list" by using GameEx's group feature.

Well, I'm pleased to hear it! HyperSpin is a great front-end, don't get me wrong. At the risk of sounding like a GameEx fanboy, it's been my choice since day one. We have a pretty devout following here, and an active group of developers and designers, as well as a great user support system. If you need anything at all (or you can even suggest ways to make it better), input is always welcome here... Especially in the case of VPinball (it's kind of a bear to set up TBH).

It's either or right now, which is why I added the functionality into iMagic to do both for controllers. (one of the main reasons I set out to do the plugin actually!)

@druadic: Yep, you can order GameEx from anywhere and just run the key on the machine that uses it.

No... as long as your rom path is the path to your tables.

Happy Birthday man! Hope it's not like this guy's! LOL!
