  1. Fascinating. I wonder what kind of problem in the chip would cause it to "almost" work like that? Nice work fixing it!
  2. This one is a bit lowbrow from my usual postings...but too funny. I had to post.
  3. Way off topic, but I bought and installed the Toyota OEM roof rack cross bars. That solved the one issue I've had with this car...an occasional "whistle" from the roof rails.
  4. I also don't own a steam deck, but I think it's a really cool concept. But on the topic of emulation, I've tried so many different types of stand-alone emulation and end up disappointed in some way most of the time. Batocera Linux is my latest attempt, and it seems to be working OK. But little issues like how 7800 emulation puts the reset button as the triangle on a PS3/xbox controller by default. So you're having a great round, and go to hit hyperspace except you hit the wrong button and OH %!#$&! RESET! Exact same issue on PS1 Classic mod.
  5. She also could have used the technology to create some new crew members to replenish those they lost. After asking for volunteers of course.
  6. Saru is a great character -- probably my favorite in Discovery. Played by the great Doug Jones.
  7. I had it set up a while ago to play ST games (after I sold my real 1040STFM). But I have a different PC now. It took me a bit of time to get MESS up and running for 7800 "Beef Drop" challenge yesterday. I'll take a quick look later this week for the ST again. It isn't too hard. You'll need whatever BIOS files are necessary, and there are full archives of those on archive.org.
  8. MESS would. You can use mappings for ANY type of controller.
  9. This reminds me of when I first got married. My wife and I were saving to buy a house. We lived right next to a Fred Meyer store. So we'd buy the 3 packs of Fred Meyer take/bake pizzas because they were cheap. NOT like a Papa Murphy or what you might expect now, these were essentially about the same quality of frozen pizza only refrigerated. Anyway, once we finally bought a house....NEVER AGAIN with those lousy cardboard pizzas! 🙂
  10. I may have misread -- here's one I'll NEVER get tired of. 🙂
  11. I think Tuvix needs a hug more than any of us.
  12. How about this awful crap? There is no way this wasn't toxic. It smelled like a chemical factory. I always wondered what happened to those kids that inhaled.
  13. Are these the same as Clackers? Because those things were the WORST. Head injury is nearly a given.
  14. YES! This is a great one. For whatever reason, I always thought Moon Patrol was an Atari game. But nope. Irem. It is still a lot of fun!

    Voyager 1

    Stupid robots can't even wipe off grime to get the name right. "Advanced" my @ss.
  16. Hopefully not much longer! My order was on 7/19 I think...so I'm not sure what the order of shipments really is.
  17. NICE collection! Let me know what you are going to open and try next. Maybe we can do another "Let's All Play" with whatever you choose. Even if it's the Data East collection you've already started. I've been going back and forth on whether to get an EXP. While I would like the ability to update my games, I find it wasteful to not simply enjoy the original Evercade handheld that I have.
  18. 11,150. I'm playing on the MESS emulator on PC.
  19. Oooh, good idea. I hadn't thought of that. I have a Retrogameboys button controller for Asteroids. I'll try that. Thanks.
  20. I will! Draconian is probably my favorite homebrew so far. Astoundingly good. I love the speech. It's easy to find a difficulty level that I can deal with, plus it ramps up very fairly. Star Castle is also really good, but boy is it difficult.
  21. Wow! That would be something incredible to see in person
