Tony has posted a great Star Wars launch story over on his blog. https://arcadeblogger.com/2022/09/04/atari-star-wars-launch-videos/

I see a lot of people talking about replacing the "laser lens" on the super slims, which just seems to be the sled assembly of the blu ray drive. Do you have any experience here? This drive is more like a laptop style drive and I haven't done a lot of digging on it. Is this married to a daughter board or similar?

Well you certainly got me thinking about the what if’s and looking into contingency planning for the long term. It’s already getting late in the game for the PS3, and you know all to well how prices skyrocket on these things with age.

Looks amazing Great to see you posting!

So what’s the legit oversights that have you pulling the video down again?

This whole thread got me to reflecting back on my PS3 experience. Amid rumor's of their eventual demise my in-laws decided to gift me a $100 GC to Circuit City for Christmas 2008. I had no idea what to do with it at the time, so I carefully paid attention to what was going on with CC until it was all but certain they would file for bankruptcy protection. I actually left work early one day and drove straight to Circuit City and used the GC to assist in the purchase of a 80 GB model a day or so before it actually happened. This was the model that dropped the Cell and GPU to 65nm that came bundled with one of the Uncharted releases. I went home and set up Sony's app to run F&H. After a very limited amount of Uncharted time it just ate the disc one evening, something a couple of power cycles resolved before it gave it up and then immediately died at the ripe old age of three weeks. Sony sent me a prepaid return box that was identical to the stretch film support system found in the retail box. In return I received a refurbed model that appeared to have been dragged behind a car for a few hundred miles. It worked, but had all the look of a 40 grit sandpaper mod. As you can Imagine I was not happy and I let Sony know this. They shipped me a second unit that was in better condition, but still rough around the edges and nowhere in the condition of the one I had just purchased. From here I made an unsuccessful attempt to refute the charge to my credit card company, with my case being I would have been within the 30 day return period from Circuit City, but ending up having to accept a refurb model due to the circumstances. This was an exercise in futility and I still have the machine to this day. I ran F&H on it up until the day Sony ended support for it, and made sure to keep the vents clean since I was well aware of what it did to my PC's. It ran the last time I fired it up, but the power button has become finicky and seems to work less reliably in drier climates (winter) and perfectly in humid months. This post has had me searching for a reliable PS3 model now, something of a misnomer. I have a small library of games, which consists mostly sports and driving that I want to have a viable system for. It's a shame the vision and technology in the PS3 wasn't expanded upon, the cell was never fully utilized and is still a very viable processor today, albeit a pain in the ass to code for!

I'd venture to guess that this won't be around long.

I just need a stock unit to use my existing library of games, so I will be looking to pick up a PS3 Slim. Nice work on the video!

MiSTer Addons set to launch new analog I/O board that supports dual SDRAM. The PS1 core is running on a single SDRAM module currently, but there are some trade-offs that having dual SDRAM will resolve.

Bob over at RetroRGB has a nice post up with all the details.

Well, I don't see it in the repository, but I'm nearly certain the default arcade cabinet was not something I had myself. AntoPISA maintains an extensive MAME Extras set with all the finer details and then some. If you have it, then you should be able to point your assets path to those specific locations on your PC.

It should update and grab these from the repository for you. Make sure you have your GameEx login credentials configured correctly. Supplying the support files will also assist anyone else offering suggestions.

I still have two OG systems a 1.4 and 1.6 with Logitech wireless controllers and Monster HD component and optical cables (one of the few items I actually feel Monster had an edge with). If you have one then you really should takes some proactive steps to keep it working. Rocky5 has utilities that; among other things, will allow you obtain critical information from the hard drive If you DON'T have this and the drive crashes, then it's pretty much game over on something that is otherwise really easy. I don't know why, but this system has always been special to me. It's the only XBOX I've ever had or wanted and the networking has some really old school gaming charm, or some nonsense like that! <edit> The OG XBOX scene is alive and well for sure.

I should say that the arcade in the OP is super nice, most certainly next level from a true retro perspective.

There's a couple here in KnoxVegas, but they aren't in malls. We're down to one mall now, the other remaining one was recently razed in favor of an Amazon distribution warehouse, proving the above point! Our other mall is alive and doing quite well, judging from the crowds anyway. I'm seeing the arcade scene here in the hot areas of town, where restaurant/bar scene is alive and well in also revitalized urban areas that are designed to be walkable outdoor spaces. These two are the two I'm most familiar with, aside from Main Event (who Dave and Busters just bought) https://suttreeshighgravitytavern.com/ https://tokengametavern.com/ You'll find many more once you get into the Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg area, but it's a nightmare with all the tourists.

Obviously among other tings he was the bodyguard in Titanic, which for some reason immediately came to mind (alongside the aforementioned casting in Tron). Actors such as himself and Christopher Lee, Max von Sydow seem to have been in so many movies you just don't realize until you start looking.

Read a bit about this earlier over at arcadeheroes.com looks cool!
