There's also the factor of a VGA input having much less lag than HDMI. So I've had some weird scenarios where the same game, on the same TV, would have noticeably less lag on 360 vs. PS3 (since I have a VGA cable for the 360). It's crazy how different Pac-Man Championship DX feels between the two.

I’m looking up the easiest way to play PS2 backups and it looks like utilizing a PS3 that’s not backwards compatible is a hassle and a half. Is the easiest way to use a PS2 with an HDD and HDLoader to call it a day?

   Grabbed an "untested" SF2 CE off eBay last week which works perfectly fine... and it's actually Hyper Fighting!  Since this works I grabbed a spare B+C CE board as these are the best for CPS1 conversions so I can have the Good Games (looking at you: Willow, Ghouls 'n Ghosts, Strider and Knights of the Round) And before someone jumps down my throat for ruining "pristine boards" I'm keeping the chips so shut up. The difference between boards is basically address order so it's essentially the same as the other games but not $600 for the dumb game.

You can get a SATA HDD unit if you don't care about network connectivity for like $20. Otherwide you can get the official one and use an IDE drive or a SATA one with an adapter. Then you just need a memory card to install free MCBoot on. You'll also need a USB stick. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pO5DmaXKZ0c

So I had installed an RGBNES in my toaster a few years ago and it worked great. Left it in my basement and the other day I tested it out and it no longer works. I tried s video as well just to be sure it wasn't the cable. I get no audio or anything. Just some light static on the screen. Tried reseating everything as well. Absolutely no clue what could be going on. Anyone have any ideas before I cry? I triple checked all my soldering and even used a multimeter to make sure everything was done right. What could have possibly happened?

Why do Japanese players find the majority of trashy licensed games they played to be nostalgic and have fond memories of them, while the rest of the world hate them? Particularly the Famicom games in general

I remember walking with my father from the Cloth World in Ontario, CA (where my mom scoured Butterick patterns for my older sisters’ formal dresses) down to the Radio Shack where they had a Tandy set up, playing Super Pitfall. It was 1987(? I think), and it was a great time. Yes, that game sucked. I can still remember it fondly.

If it works, likely one of the joints between that and the PPU socket on the RGB port isn't working anymore. That's where I'd start, anyway. The thought of having to desolder and resolder this PPU again (the hardest part of the whole mod) is giving me agita but if all else fails I will try this as a last resort. Thank you for the suggestion! Monitor Burn posted:Check that you are getting 5V from the voltage regulator and PPU power/ground pins.

I've only ever used it to check continuity Here's an image of it.  I don't know where I should turn the knob or where I should put the red and black probes.

Basically, it depends on what you want to pay. The SD2IEC is the budget SD reader for the C64, but it's not that fast and isn't 100% compatible with all disk games. The 1541 Ultimate II is better all round, including near-complete compatibility with all games, but it's much more expensive.

On a standard NES pinout, are there some pins that are NC? I've decided to try replacing my Blinking light Win because I've steadily gotten worse and worse results at getting games to connect. So while the replacement is coming I decided to take the NES apart to take out the old BLW and, while I had the chance, break out a multimeter to test the pin-by-pin connections. So far I was able to confirm that the top row (as if you were looking down straight at a game inserted into a frontloader) all connect up fine, but right off the bat on the bottom row there are some that don't seem to connect at all to the cartridge.

Before diving into voltage/continuity testing, is the 72 pin connector clean/making good contact, along with the cartridges you tested? Couldn't find a manual for your multimeter, but I paraphrased this from a different one: 1. Turn dial counterclockwise to DC V symbol with the solid and dotted line over the V; the "2" setting should be fine to start with (where the multimeter is set to in the picture). 2. First insert the black probe into the black COM jack. 3. Then insert the red probes into the red V Ω jack. When finished, remove the probes in reverse order: red first, then black. 4. Connect the test probes to the circuit: black to the negative polarity test point (circuit ground), red to positive test point. If you see significant voltage drop from 5V from power and ground on the NES voltage regulator (like 4.0-4.5), then try replacing that first. After that I'd try the main 2200uf power capacitor, then after look at the NESRGB/PPU. The ideal test would be to get another PPU and socket it in place of the NESRGB board and see if it still outputs stock composite.

Not sure about those EXP connections in the center - I wonder if those are some equivalent of the Famicom's expansion port, and that's partially why NES carts are 72 pin and the Famicom is only 60.
