  1. Sorry dude, I somehow missed this It's good to see you posting!
  2. The factory footage detail is crazy, don't get bored and give up on it!
  3. This is just a snip of what you can find here.
  4. You did alright with the 970 Evo Plus, I bought two of them when faced with the same decision last year. https://www.minitool.com/backup-tips/980-pro-vs-970-evo-plus.html Everything looks really nice! I hope you are doing well <edit> Linked the wrong review.
  5. I would agree when used inside of a pincab but with my Frankenstein style build it won't be lifted except to remove and replace. It simply spans the distance from pedestal to the display stand on a set of "Pinball X" flippers.
  6. My final solution was in fact to use gravity. I'm using a piece of cable runway bolted on a wooden mount I built that is pitched for the playfield. I will be using a VESA multi-adapter that will screw into square wood that fits exactly into the cable runway openings. Once mounted to the TV it will just drop in and can't go anywhere, we'll unless you flip it over. I got the idea based the idea off a French cleat. There are all sorts of variants and ways to make these, even locking styles. I must half a dozen or more mounts that I attempted to integrate along the way.
  7. Nice, I think you'll like the "depth" of the new playfield. That's something I'm still struggling with on my crazy design.
  8. Not sure if this helps, but Amazon has a decent selection. https://www.amazon.com/Best-Sellers-Binding-Screw-Post/zgbs/office-products/490548011
  9. We used that style for some custom bound assemblies back when I was in the commercial printing business, but I have no idea where they sourced them. I've also never seen one that was completely smooth on one side, not to suggest they don't make them like that. https://www.rivetsonline.com/binder-post-barrel-nuts-chicago-screws https://www.mcmaster.com/chicago-bolts/ https://www.fastenright.com/products/general-fixings/sex-bolts-barrel-nuts https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_bolt arch series screws architectural sex bolts barrel bolts barrel nut binding posts Chicago screws book screws connector bolts display fasteners door closure bolts furniture screws grommet nuts interscrews panel fasteners partition screws post and screw sets screw nuts sex bolt sleeve nuts stationary screws. threaded rivets
  10. carriage bolt
  11. Handheld model in the works:
  12. Yes, two of them. It's always been hard for me to play console games without the console controller. These two cover a good bit of territory. https://www.8bitdo.com/sn30-pro-plus/ https://www.8bitdo.com/m30/
  13. I don't get a lot of free time to play these days, but last night I spent some time updating my MiSTer and I'm still amazed by this small machine that offers so much. It's really quite amazing!
  14. I won't post them all, but classic moments to re-visit here!
  15. https://arcadeblogger.com/2022/05/13/classic-arcade-gaming-postmortems/
  16. Capitalism at its best! Perhaps it'll cool off between now and the 20th and go back on sale. No doubt the bundle is more appealing now, which could be their sinister plan.
  17. I'm sure the delay is very frustrating! You have a much more extensive configuration of GameEx than I've ever had set up, so I can imagine the latency is a real deal breaker. I've never experienced this issue and these basic trouble shooting suggestions have exhausted what immediately comes to mind. Perhaps @Tom Speirs will have some idea as to what the culprit could be.
  18. It's strange this just started. Have you checked for malware or background processes to see if something else is up? https://sourceforge.net/projects/processhacker/ It may be a stretch, but did you update dotnet too? https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/6.0
  19. I would probably buy now if I had an opportunity at a RTX-3080 FE at retail, as it should do everything I'm looking for with a *cough* modestly sized PSU. The leaks coming out for the next gen nvidia are insane from the power usage view, but cards like whatever ends up being the X070 and X070Ti could be remarkably powerful, while still working on a 850 PSU, potentially. You have to factor in crazy inflation with waiting to long term, and whatever potential financial crisis fallout that looms from everything going on in the world. The last new card I bought was a 750Ti and two of those and a HD-7950 3GB are still running in my rigs, so I'm long overdue.
  20. No, not the Killing Joke song, the GPU wait. Seems like widespread availability has returned and prices are slowly headed back to retail, finally. So saying this trend continues and we are back to some remote aspect of normal prices by fall, do you grab a RTX 3000 or hold out for the 5000 series? (or whatever they call them)
  21. This may be more of an exercise than anything, but did you try updating again?
