Just started Rainbow 6 Vegas again on realistic, what a pain.

I looked at this a bit more and I think with the "Basic Shapes" and using the Cricut Design Studio software that you can use (You must have the cartridge with the shape you want to use in the program) you can "weld" shapes together and make fairly complicated shapes quickly. There are better cutters for this type of thing (design your own shapes) but not verry common uses/cheap. You can use squares, rectangles, triangles, circles. And you can resize/skew them all, and also add rounded corners. I bet you can do a decent job of even the star trek type! It supposedly can cut vinyl and cardstock. I think I am on to something. Now to convince my wife...

You could always do something like this! http://www.avsforum.com/t/1398710/time-to-leave-my-220lbs-crt-behind-will-something-work-for-this-setup Personally my first HD TV (other than a CRT I returned) is my Sony 50" SRXD rear projection. It is very light, fairly deep, and I bought it because it was 1080p years ago , and had the best SD picture of any I looked at back then. (maybe 5 or 6 years ago). It is kind of a combination of LCD and DLP technology. I don't have any experience with a 2600 on anything smaller than a 37"

I have a request, now that mine is on its way as well. When you get yours, please DO NOT tell what the secret extra is. I want to see for myself!

or a util/patcher, that patches the menu image before you flash the harmony with it

The funny thing is I bought it on a whim, the delays are what is actually making me look forward to it.

Wow, I live in North Huntingdon, near Barnes Lake and Clay Pike. I was just through Sutersville 1 hour ago on way back from my daughter's orth in Elizabeth (Rock Run). We need a westmoreland get together!

My OLD printer for my TRS-80 Model III was effectively a 7 pin (really 1 pin with a rotating groved platter...), and it did not print decenders, they floated up so that they were the same height as normal characters, it looked odd, but worked and was readable. Stll, even getting a decent lowercase in 6+1 would look pretty bad, so 12 lines would be tops. As for the rest, I still don't get it!

I wish I understood more, but just looking at it, I am extremely impressed. What is the effective total resolution being used on that screen? Something like 160x92? I can't work out how to make a 10x10 grid addressable with 3 colors, and you do that!

You exist! I moved to Pittsburgh, with a few friends. I can always bring over my stuff and we can have a gaming night. How are you fine sir? I just looked up Wyano, PA, that is 10 min from my house! (I am close to Rilton)

Plus how were the basic programming controllers packaged? And the Kids controllers, were they only sold seperate, or bundled with a CCW game?

I do have a REAL nice 36" CRT that we do not even use, and I may get my in-law's 36" Sony WEGA CRT if they get a new TV, but the problem with them is, mine is 160 lbs and the Sony is closer to 240! I think the 38" Wide HD I briefly had was about 180lb.

I would LOVE to stumble across a HD CRT. I had one and returned it maybe 5 years ago, something was messed up with it. Now my HDs are SXRD and 2 LCDs.

I have both of those, but have never seen the packaging for them. Does anyone have a picture of either?

would it do the fancy ones too like for space shuttle, or star trek i wonder. I think with combining you can get pretty close. Does anyone have dimensions on all of them? (Maximum outer dimension)

looks like the basic shapes included on the $99 cricut will work to assemble a decent overlay.

To sum up, 1 original, and a couple homebrews. It is a shame since it was a nice controller.

I dunno, I'd like to do it myself, and any excuse to buy a new tool...

They have some version that you can design your own via a web page, and as long as you are signed in you can use it. That basically sums up what I know. I am more interested in Assume that I can create my own template, either manually, or overlaying curves and rectangles basic shapes. Do they work at all? Will a Cricut (or other device) actually cut something nicely enough to make a usable overlay? I would get them printed at Office Max/Depot

I could go left/right/up

Don't forget the strap on joystick game... (I have been trying to forget it, but can't)

I was thinking about this again and was wondering about one of those "cricut" deals or something like that. Are there any that could cut a overlay for the 12 button controllers? (or the star trek type) I really want to make some as professional as I can, and I KNOW I cannot cut them by hand to my satisfaction.

LOL, after looking at that penguin, I went back to the shorter one, and I see it perfectly clear now. I didn't realize the top dark spot was his eye and the dots were his beak. Weird, like some Escher drawing that all of a sudden just makes sense!

Sure, MAME runs the ROMs and all but I always thought it really needed a pinball kicker for that thump. You are so right, even in the arcades, I was disappointed when the kicker didn't work. But once you got to 5-3 and get in the zone, it is as close to Neo in the matrix as I can get, you can "see" the math in what is needed. We used to try to always quit on even thousands or even 10,000 intervals, which is a pain when you are getting points 15,25,200 points at a time. That way we felt the scores we entered were proof that we quit when we felt like it, not because we got beat.
