    I'll have to get the details again, but she said that her teacher brought some old technology in to science class, and 2 of the items were a 2600, and a Vectrex.

    The best part was she was able to help out the teacher having problems with the Vectrex!

    Teacher - "have you seen one of these before?"

    Daughter - "yes"

    Teacher - "do you know how to use it?"

    Daughter - "yes"

    Teacher - "is it you parents'?"

    Dayghter - "yes"

    LOL, I loved it.

    First, vacuum everything off with the bristly brush attachment, then go from there. That will help get the residue out from inside items as well that mere wiping off won't. If you can open up the item without any issues, do that as well.

    I once saw a PC where the lady set her ashtray in front of it and used the cabinet ventilation to suck the smoke away. It had a brown layer of "stuff" that was like a layer of brown cardboard colored felt on everything in the PC. The problem with it was it would not turn on from buildup of smoke stuff in the power switch!

    Pioneer 4x4; I'm glad to see that you managed to get the colors to display. Mine was mostly gray scale with ugly vertical lines. I noticed you take a couple steps, then stop. Are you suffering fro extreme lag? My Hauppauge USB lags bad, which is why I run the signal separately to the TV set as well as the laptop.

    Yes, I had horrible lag, BUT that is intentionally part of the Hauppauge software. There is a setting to enable "LivePreview" that eliminates the lag, that I can't get to work, I am sure I will, I just need to find the right versions of software to run.

    There is a TON of registry setting to control those cards and a lot of 3rd party apps to mange the extra settings.

    None of the above!

     

    Let's see: clues #2-3 refer to the gameplay, and #5 sort of does too. #2-5 are all relevant to the box. #1 is kind of a wild card that doesn't directly relate to the gameplay or box art, though it definitely relates to this game; maybe a better way of putting it will be...

     

    1. Weight: if it's heavy, we're very happy. Or if it's 0.035 oz., that's good too. (Just ask the blonde who brought sunshine to the night.)

    .035oz is a gram I think, but that doesn't help me.

    What is the fish above the play area? It seems to reset at every screen. What happens if you stay on one screen for a long time?

    Personally it looks like it plays like a pitfall hack, without tunnels. I love the idea of this game, but doubt it is much fun.

    I have Windows 7 32 bit and it works fine. The channel setup is not very straightforward with them. They capture and hardware encode directly as mpg, typically DVD compliant. You define channels, that are not necessarily TV channels. Currently mine is

    Channel 1=Composite jacks

    Channel 2=Air Channel2

    but any channel int the software can be any input source.

    The 350 has some nice hardware features, (maybe FM receiver as well)

    OK, I made progress. I haven't used this thing in years and need to relearn all the tricks.

    1 - I need to get "Live Preview" mode working so I can actually play on the computer monitor in the capture window without delay of 2 seconds...

    2 - I had the exact same picture, and ended up installing WINTV2000 OLD version of 4.7.x

    I putzed around and went into the channel editor, and turned off "AFT" and found that if I set my channel (2) to +20 I got a stable color picture.

    The quality blows, but it is at least color, and I will go from there.

     

    This is from a heavy 6 via the standard RF Coax into the PVR 150 card.

    Will you be posting your updated one?

    Also, the game looked very smooth to me except for flicker on the opening screen. I honestly haven't looked to see why.

     

    I used some software to grab what was on my computer screen while running it in Stella which explains why it was crystal clear and didn't show the flickering all that well. However this was before I knew about ALT-P in Stella. Next video I do, I'll be sure to have Phosphor (Alt-P) enabled. It makes it looks like it's not flickering.

    I was refferring to on my actual TV, and not a complaint, just a comment that it is noticable.
