    Hey Fellas,

    I remember a while ago a few members including myself speaking about Retro Achievements.

    http://retroachievements.org

    Does anyone still use these emulators?

    The Retro Achievements Forums are still very active so it must be a good thing.

    I'm in the process of adding these as extra emulators. I did set these up a couple of years ago but never got round to actually using them.

    There should be plenty of free to try titles such as Filmora, but if you have any of the Adobe Suites you should be able to use Premier to do video editing.

     

    So I went ahead with the Filmora suggestion and this is just what I need. Thanks Mike.

    So simple and smooth. I might have to go the distance and get a licence if I can get one cheap enough

    The windows 10 I used was the upgrade from 7 to 10 via the web originally on AMD then because I changed tech to Intel I had to pay for a new licence, got one from eBay for less than £5 and installed it via flash drive.

    My issue was changing the boot sequence in the Asus Bios from C: drive to the flash drive. It wouldn't recognise the flash drive. So I checked the USB headers on the MOBO and they were fine. Then I took the whole machine apart and back together and then the flash drive was picked up finally.

    I'll give the suggestions by you guys a whirl later on when I'm home.

    Need to get this sorted as the PC stuff is the only videos I don't have for my setup.

    Then back to theming I think. B)

    It's been so long since I posted anything theme related.

    I've already done a few Mini MAP files and artwork for smaller mame sets, which I will upload later on today.

    Haha so I went ahead and took the plunge for an i3-7100, Asus H110M-R and Crucial 8gb DDR4 2133mhz, so I swapped out the AMD components and hung onto the GTX 770 with the CM Hyper Evo and 550M Power Supply and I must admit it is faster, I must say I can see very noticeable gains in all aspects. The H110M-R Mobo is entry level but does the job just fine, this also opens up the gates to upgrade later on.

    I will probably go with 7700k and GTX 1080ti at the beginning of next year and a possible dual channel DDR4 upgrade as well.

    The i3 Bundle was free so I cant complain.

    BTW, Windows 10 was a pain to reinstall when I swapped the AMD build for the Intel, I was tearing my hair out.

    Just an update.

    Overclocked this FX 4300 CPU to 4.6ghz with the same cooler and turbo core disabled but added a new Corsair case fan.. All stress tested and good to go. Still max 50 degrees under full load and I still cannot believe how quiet it is.

    The FX-4300 gets so much negative press and I dont see why, It's a diamond in my eyes.

    The only thing the CPU ever struggled with was No Man's Sky but that has apparent issues anyway. But I managed to get it decently playable in the end.

    Oh and swapped out 8gb Corsair Vengeance 1600mhz to 16gb of the same.

    Obviously for some its a big upgrade, but others dont feel the need to upgrade as 1080p is plenty.

    But I was shocked and how much better it is.

    I did test your Blue Neon theme at 1080p on my 4K TV and that was A Grade stuff, the same with my Carbon Metallic theme. Also GameEx AE looks great as well.

    So I purchased a new Philips 49" 4K UHD HDR TV, set my desktop resolution to 4K and most games at 1080p with a few at 4K.

    The results are fantastic and even the GameEx software at 1920x1080 which is what I set it at looks incredible. (I think there is some sort of upscaling involved)

    Ill have to upload some images.

    So I completed this build with a Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO, disabled Turbo Core in the bios and overclocked to 4.4ghz, stress tested for 8 hours and all is good. Max 50 degrees under full load. At least a 20% gain in PCSX2 and around 10-15% fps in pc stuff.

    The CPU Cooler fans are running at no more than 1050rpm which is very quiet.
