SoulBlazer Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 I don't recall which system it was (I'm thinking PlayStation for some reason) but I KNOW I saw a post here on AA from a guy last year who said he accidently left his gaming system on when he was deployed and came back a YEAR later to find the system still on and running just fine. So yeah, as long as it's vented I wouldn't worry about it. BITD I know I personaly left my NES on for several days at a time while trying to finish tough games with no batteries or passwords, the record being a week.

intvnut Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 If you leave Dig Dug in for 24 hours, it will dig 16 tons, get another day older, and be deeper in debt. How many digs would a Dig Dug dig if a Dig Dug dug Dig Dug? If you dig this, then you dug this... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pimpmaul69 Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 If you dig this, then you dug this... your video had a black screen for me so i found it on youtube. Thanks for getting a catchy video game jingle stuck in my head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intvnut Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 (edited) your video had a black screen for me so i found it on youtube. Thanks for getting a catchy video game jingle stuck in my head. It's not a video, it's an MP3. Download it and play it in the media player of your choice. It comes from here: http://www.ytcracker.com/nes/ Edited April 26, 2015 by intvnut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

intvnut Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 he also has a video of it called dugdig I believe that's a "fan video," but it's still amusing and it's a fun song. I actually enjoyed the whole NerdRap Entertainment System. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

intvnut Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 what is the name of that song. I couldnt find it on itunes No idea if it's on the iTunes store. If you download the ZIP file of the album at the NerdRap Entertainment System website, it has all the tracks in MP3 format, and you can import them into iTunes that way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

intvnut Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 NES website? Nice nerd pun. :-) Yep, he's an 8-bit nerd. Though he was born in 82... so he's in the NES wave of 8-bit nerds. But, he still dug Dig Dug, so there you go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DZ-Jay Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 I'm surprised not many people here know about Nerdcore Rap. YT Cracker is a fairly known player in the scene. Or was, since the scene seems to be mostly dead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will the game cartridge burn out from leaving it in the Intellivision for 24 hours? It was perfectly ok to leave your ordinary warrantied replaceable system on for weeks in 1980. If it wasn't, UL would never have listed it and the return rate would have been astronomical. But the chips and transistors in the console do run hot and it's possible that they could degrade over time due to electromigration and other effects, so if you want your now-prized surviving collector's item to live out the century I'd recommend turning it off when not in use or when you're not deliberately trying to save the game state. The electrolytic capacitors (the big ones) also degrade faster when hot, but you can still buy replacements for those. In comparison the cartridges run pretty cool and most of them were fabricated using newer and more robust processes, so it's unlikely you'll burn one of those out. When you think about it, it's sort of amazing that VLSI chips work at all. Tiny lithographic patterns etched on a piece of silicon? Baked in an atmosphere whose atoms diffuse into the surface? Deliberately allowed to "rust?" With metal sprayed over it in a precise pattern? This works? Really? For each and every one of the thousands of transistors on a chip? And every one of those transistors works for decades? Well, the answer is, "not always and not forever." Mattel subjected the individual parts and even the whole Master Component unit to "burn in" tests to shake out the weakest links. This reduced field failures to a tolerable level, but not to zero. It's all statistics. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
