Elliotw2 posted:This is actually a pretty common myth, the Sega CD will happily output stereo sound without using the headphone jack routed to the SCD UNLESS you want to use the RCA ports on the back of your Sega CD for convenience or something. It's much easier to use your existing 3.5mm to stereo RCA adapter (you are using one right?) without loving with patch cables or whatever. But sure the Sega CD has stereo RCA out if you have it attached to a model 1.

I'm saying you don't need to run any cables to have the Sega CD do Stereo audio outside of your normal setup. The patch/mixing cable is not actually useful.

I believe one of the main reasons the mixing cable was used was so you could get CD audio out of the Sega CD without going through the Genesis amp. That, and you can control the volume of the Genesis side. Otherwise, yeah, it's not strictly necessary.

Or, so I'd heard, anyway; I haven't tried hooking up an auxiliary 2.5mm cable to try this with my HDG Model 1 Genesis/Model 2 Sega CD combo.

The Genesis actually has a very similar sound chip (Yamaha YM2612) to the arcade Marble Madness (YM2151). They are both FM synths and more or less preset-compatible, the main difference is that the YM2151 has two extra voices (8 simultaneous sounds compared to 6 on the YM2612). Also FM sound design is inherently pretty difficult -- the Genesis probably could have sounded a little better, but EA only had so many resources to put into a low-effort arcade port. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0g2eQeA15-s

I have an NES that needed a new 72 pin connector. So I bought one, switched it out, the NES immediately worked on the first attempt to turn it on, but after that, it doesn't work. Any idea what could be wrong? It's just baffling because it's not like it continued to stop working. It actually worked and then just stopped working.

You know, it's just a notation for "if we only look at this particular star, it's one press, but if we look at a whole run, we can piggyback off of another press by holding A the entire time, so it doesn't add an extra press".

Can anyone recommend gaming shelves/bookcase? Ones that'll fit DVD cases to Sega Genesis clamshells. Everything I find on amazon looks really flimsy and I want something that will last and is moveable. Edit: And if it has brackets to secure to the wall, they need to be at least 8 inches long. The dumbfucks who put in the baseboard heating didn't follow my directions and put it in the area I reserved for a bookcase, so I have to put it in front of it.

Well no, what he's actually doing is writing programs that play the emulator for him while it proceeds at warp speed so that all these bugs that take 1000 days of continuous play to occur can be observed. There ain't any physical buttons involved.

Not sure on the securing apparatus, but Ikea recently had a product recall issue and will probably give you whatever you needed to secure to the wall for free if you asked.

Not that I can see, and I'd assume if it was a short or a scraped trace, it wouldn't have worked at all, but it did, just briefly. Charles Get-Out posted:I've asked this a couple times and never got an answer, so would be interested if anyone has anyone too. The Ikea Billy bookcases are what I have seen people use most often. Other than that, I'd say look at your local secondhand or antique stores. If you want something built nicely and to last, you either have to pay out the rear end or buy something that was made in the 70's or earlier.

This is the shelf unit I got 4 years ago. Nothing special, but it's survived a few moves and has a lot of shelf pin holes to adjust each row's height finely enough. Main selling point was the height, gives you a lot of room to work with. I've got various carts, some in CustomGameCases, some Genesis CIB, as well as (3)DS, and PS1-4 (so CD, DVD, BD) in it. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001KW0BE2/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I wish I could get the Ikea Billy. I was looking at that but the maximum height I can get is 76 inches because the wall it is going on is kind of awkward. Anyone have experience with the Ikea BRUSALI? I never bought furniture from them before.

I have two Vita TVs and my Shield TV which run emulators on like every TV in my house and yet I am currently looking at Raspberry Pi 3s on Amazon thanks to you people Kind of want to move one of my Vita TVs to my projector and put the Pi on my old CRT TV, shame the Pi no longer has composite output but meh I have an HDMI to composite on there anyway I see PSX and PSP emulation listed on RetroPie's site, but how well do they work? And DC emulation? If this thing can do PSP/PSX/DC at good framerates, I'll be impressed.

Code Jockey posted:shame the Pi no longer has composite output Actually it does, it's combined with the 3.5mm audio connector. PSP is dependent on the game. Crisis Core played surprisingly (albeit at native resolution) but GTA Vice City Stories was unplayable. PS1 most games run "perfectly", some late-era games can have a bit of hitching but are still essentially playable. DC emulation don't bother, might have to wait for the next Pi or the one after.

All this is fine, I'm mostly interested in PSX and earlier, if I really want DC and PSP my Shield can emulate both very well. Thanks!
