Yeah I got the AV Famicom one since it was a lot cheaper just buying one then getting a offical NES 2 controller these days without being overprice.

Has anyone OSSC from batch 2 shipped yet? I know there is a message about them waiting on PSU to arrive to start shipping out, but I saw someone said they already got their October unit in.

This would be...not impossible, but definitely extremely complicated with an MSU-1. It basically behaves like CD Audio used to, with a single fully recorded stereo audio track, and it's not very good at things like sound effects (due to seek times) and rapid music changes. At best someone would have to compose and properly time the "Yoshi percussion" part to go with the CD Audio but it'd be enormously hard to make it all so it doesn't go all out of wack when the music loops.

It's definitely not THAT bad, boy I remember those days all too well and games like LOOM did NOT work well on those. But I'm fairly sure, from what I remember playing around with it (full disclosure, it's been a very long time) there is a hitch with initializing and starting music playback, but this usually being when a level just starts and the screen is black isn't noticeable. I'm almost 100% sure you wouldn't be able to program it in such a way that, say, you composed two audio tracks, one for "on Yoshi" and one for "off Yoshi" where it will instantly and seamless switch between the two at the correct playback location based on your "riding Yoshi" status.

A game that wanted to do this on early CD systems would have things set up so the left channel is the regular music and the right channel is the music with the modifier, and you switch between the two by muting the left and unmuting the right and vice versa. Naturally this means you can't use any normal stereo effects in the track, and requires a setup that allows you to mix a single channel input to both channel output. But I think you can do that within the SNES hardware and how the MSU-1 would hypothetically interface with it.

univbee posted:Clever but what games did that? They weren't doing it with redbook audio right? It's a method that was used by many tape and laserdics and CD based "games" before real time serious mixing became a thing. It almost certainly was used with released games on CD at some point but I'm not aware of any specific ones - most preferred to use the full stereo effect when they could. This mid-80s device was able to provide game data and changing responses on 8-track tape cartridges by switching between channels on the tape which would be muted or unmuted as neccesary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zyOKgLtUxto Game data was stored in the same way you'd do it on a cassette tape, on the channel that wasn't being sent to the speaker (and switching from left to right occasionally). Then the question would play as standard audio, automatically pause when the computer data indicated, wait for input and then continue playing a congratulatory message and lighting the matching light to a player that got the question right, or staying silent til next if all were wrong. On some games, it would temporarily switch in the current game data track for a short "wrong" message before switching back to the normal audio channel.

I was going to cut off the hinges, cut/shape and glue them in place to cover up the holes. I think there is some type of compound you can use to fill, I forgot the name. Then sand down and paint the whole shell. High hopes as far as projects go with 2 kids, working overtime and keeping up with house maintenance (and actually playing games).

So I’ve recently been having some problems with the screen on my PSP-2000. There are two light vertical lines showing up on the left-hand side of the screen. They’re usually not too visible during gameplay, but for some reason, if I play for a bit, a weird blurring “double vision” effect begins to occur on those parts of the screen. For example, if I’m doing 8 damage to an enemy in Final Fantasy, it’ll look like 88. I couldn’t get a good picture of my screen, but it basically looks like this:  So I’m assuming the screen’s dying, right? Any weird tricks to fix it? Is it worth repairing or should I just buy a new one? While we’re at it if I end up needing to replace it is the 3000 noticeably better in any way?

I think the 3000 has a better screen in some regards (brighter, less reflective, etc.) but had some tearing issues (but is still considered better overall despite that). I think it also had a built-in mic while the 2000 needed the attachment. Also many people say the buttons feel better. I think battery life is close, but may be better on the 3000? I can't remember if the video out is different between the 1000 and 2000, or between the 2000 and 3000. So may want to check that if you do any video output to your TV and already have cables. Personally, I just went with the one I could find for a good price and the color I wanted (white). The person I bought it from listed it as a 2000, but it is a 3001 and I like it a lot. Looks great.

The best PSP to actually play on is the PSP Go in my opinion, the analog nub placement is simply a lot more comfortable for me. Sure you can't play UMDs, but the UMDs suck and the system's fully hacked, just get a big microsd card and a cheap microsd to whatever memory stick that is adapter.

I have a Go and I love it but Go's have their own proprietary memory with no adapter that I've seen because the card is so tiny. I'd go for a 3000 personally.

Oh I can't keep track of which sticks do what, Sony had like 50 of them. When I had mine though I'd been able to pick up a cheap Sandisk card of the proper size and fit a bunch of games though, think it was like 16 GB.

You can also buy 8gb m2 cards for about $25 and use them with the 16gb of internal storage to have plenty of space. Using the adapter's kind of a waste since you pay $28 + 16gb microsd card to get only 8gb more than paying $20 and not having to gently caress with opening the PSP go.

I've gone from screwdrivers to a knifetip to a dental hook and a sewing needle, still only got under 2/5. Now I'm to the point of putting the thing back together and I can't get in tight enough to reconnect the ribbon cable. Every time I get it kind of in place, it's clearly not all the way into the clip on the mainboard, since it immediately pops out the moment I try to reassemble the rest of the case.

Alrighty, so based on no one mentioning it I'm going to assume it's not worth trying to fix the screen on a PSP. The Go is tempting, but I have a pretty decent collection of UMD's because I am a rube. So I'll probably just use this as an excuse to upgrade to a PSP-3000. Thanks for the help!

 Finally got the consoles that monitor burn modded all hooked up and everything is working. drat button lights are burned out on the pvm and had to fiddle around for a while to get it to change from a component signal to RGB, but worked great after that. A+ would recommend.

I live in a small town in Western Japan and went out for drinks with a friend’s landlord last night, and he brought along a friend who turned out to be a relatively big deal music producer who works for our city. I eventually asked if he had any friends in the TV business and turns out he knows the president of our prefectures biggest TV station. I’ve seen their crews using 6” PVMs before on location shoots as recent as a few months ago, so he said he would send out some emails and see if anyone has unused P/BVMs kicking around that I can take a look at. Fingers crossed I get lucky!

I had an iPhone fix-it shop that was willing to replace my PSP-2000 screen when mine began to fade around the edges. This was after breaking the tab on my already dead spare on a trial run. Be gentle when you open it / pull out the LCD ribbon.

Dr. Dos posted:My roommates are going to the Portland Retro Gaming Expo next week and are considering picking up a Famicom. What are some cool titles they'd be able to pick up that can be enjoyed without knowing any Japanese? Which kind of Famicom? Hopefully it's an AV Famicom, because the original model (iconic as it is and something people gush over aesthetically)...kind of sucks, when you think about it? * RF only. * Besides being RF only, it will only work on US TVs that can scan and tune channels 95 and 96. * The controller cords are short and plugged directly into the console's mainboard. * Since the controllers are not detachable from the console, replacing one or both if they're beat to poo poo is way more involved, both in terms of finding replacements and swapping it out. It's not hard, but it is a pain. Encourage them to go for an AV Famicom, especially if expo merchants are already charging $50, $75 and the like for consoles. Anyhow, Astro Robo SASA is a nice, simple game that I like to recommend, and there is also the thread favorite Devil World. Probably the easiest thing for them to do, if they're looking to try and pick up Famicom carts at the expo, would be to "pre-browse" on a site like Buyee's Yahoo Auctions pages, see what strikes their fancy as far as cover art goes, and then see if they can't find gameplay videos to get an idea of how accessible it would be to play. From there, of course, it's a matter of taking notes and searching the baskets or whatever.
