[New Gauntlet game]

This looks really fun! On my wishlist.

[N64 AV Cable]

Ok Thanks,

 

I'm gonna hook it up and try 007 and Zelda again with it when it arrives!

[N64 AV Cable]

I just bought this on ebay:

Does this AV cable make the image any better for my N64 versus the regular RF cable that comes with it?

Cheers,

Yan

[WHEEEZYGAMEROOM]

How did you get that cabinet? Is it custom? Can you suggest some for me?

That is amazing! I want one like that to place my 20+ systems in a neat way.

[Atari 2600 not working]

Ok thanks, I found the RF cable and took it out, I have 2 other Atari 2600, but since they work fine I don't wanna touch them and use those RF; I'll look on eBay to see if I find any cheaply.

[Atari 2600 not working]

Maybe the RF cable Is shot. Try using another RF cable. If it doesn't work, it could be the voltage regulator is shot.

How do I disconnet the cable?

 

What is a voltage regulator?

[Atari 2600 not working]

Hi all,

 

I have an Atari 2600 that's been dusting for a while and I've never gotten it to work.

I attempted to open it today, took 4 screws out and it would not open fully. I was afraid to put too much pressure and snap the thing.

I did use a couple of q-tips and clean a little of the board, but nothing changed.

 

It turns on but will not play any games.

Just shows a scrambled screen.

 

Any idea on how this can be fixed? my other Atari's work fine.

Thanks,

Yan

She has nothing better to do these days, so why not?

[State of Decay (PC Title)]

I just purchased State of Decay on the steam sale after hesitating for a while due to not being a super zombie fan.

I have actually enjoyed it a lot for the 3 hours I've played so far. There's so much freedom in the game.

Driving a car through a horde of zombies is great, and having members of your party being on the back of a pick up truck is neat. Hiding to avoid a horde of zombies only to gather their attention after blasting one in the face!

The negative is that time still passes in the game even when you're not playing the game; what would my base and team members look like if I came back a week later?

 

Anyone here a fan of the game?

[League of Legends Connection Error]

Hi all,

 

I just downloaded LOL on my windows 7 PC so I can play the game with my sister in Brazil and it keeps giving me connection error.

 

 

I switched myself to the Brazilian region, and I also made one account for the NA region but none of them log in.

 

Does anyone know how to deal with this?

Cheers,

Yan

[Your Top 10 favorite games of all time]

Tough... so many good games. But here is what I can think of right now. These are systems I played a lot.

 

NES - Super Mario 3

Master System - Turma da Monica em: O Resgate

SNES - Super Mario World/Street Fighter 2

Jaguar - Tempest 2000/Doom

N64 - WWF No Mercy/Zelda: Ocarina of Time

PS1 - WWF Smackdown: Know Your Role/Crash Bandicoot

PS2 - Grand Theft Auto: Vice City/ WWE Here Comes The Pain

Xbox - TES: Morrowind

Xbox 360 - TES: Oblivion

PC: Age of Empires II/ Europa Universalis Series

 

I know it's not a top 10 but I could not come up with one lol!

[Mario Kart 8]

When the Wii U goes down to $100 I'll buy a Wii U just to play Mario/Zelda stuff.

[Arcade Motherboard]

Arcade games are usually made up of these parts

 

Cabinet

Monitor (usually RGB)

Controls

Power Supply

Logic Board

 

Connecting all of this together is a harness. The harness is a mesh of wires that unifies all of this into a working game.

 

The requirements to boot up an Arcade Game Logic Board would depend on the game itself. After 1986 typically most games ran on a standard for this wiring called JAMMA. Thus on these JAMMA compatible logic boards you have a JAMMA connector which then plugs into the JAMMA Harness sorta kinda like a big cartridge. Games created before this period are all over the place and the wiring can vary from manufacturer to manufacturer or even game to game under the same manufacturer.

 

So if you just have the logic board you'd need to create the harness, then you'd need to wire the harness to a power supply, an RGB monitor and finally the controls (ie joysticks).

 

This really isn't something that is easy to do on the fly, your best bet would be to buy an arcade cabinet then run the board in that. If its compatible you can just swap the board in and out.. if its not compatible (ie on a different wiring scheme) you can use an adapter. There are some obvious considerations.. no adapter is going to make a Pole Position board run in a Mortal Kombat or vice versa.

Ok Thanks, I do own one myself. A street fighter 2 champion edition. (I do want another machine eventually.)

I was just curious since it was only $10 for the motherboard.

 

This is my machine:

[Arcade Motherboard]

Can someone explain an arcade motherboard to me?

I just saw one for sale on eBay and what would I have to do with it to get it to work normal?

By that I mean how many parts would I need to get it to boot.

 

Cheers!

[The Elder Scrolls Online]

I've been watching a let's play of it on Youtube. Looks fun.

 

Is this a PVE only?

 

I'm still cringing at that $15 a month after paying $60 for the game. The most I ever paid was $5 a month for Runescape. I've had the same account since 2006.

[Jaguar S-Video Cables]

I tried the S-video again and the red bleeding letters stopped.

I had to plug it in better because out of nowhere it freezes the Jaguar if the slightest thing like my cat moves on the table lol.

[Jaguar S-Video Cables]

I have 5 TV's for my vintage consoles in my house, they range from 90's TV's to 2009. I don't put vintage consoles on my 60inch samsung! That's the pride of my home lol.

 

The TV is a tube tv I guess. 32 inch that I was playing on.

I do have a 39 inch flat screen that I could try it later on it. Maybe it will look better.

[Jaguar S-Video Cables]

Hi all,

 

I bought this s-video cable for my Atari Jaguar and did a fairly quick test with Doom on one of my TV's. What am I supposed to expect?

I had to change the contrast on my TV since I could barely see anything on Doom. Then it was fine and it did look better.

How dark is Doom supposed to be? The red was bleeding off a little bit.

 

Is there a better s-video cable than this or is this the best one?

[The Elder Scrolls Online]

I'm a big fan of the Elder Scrolls franchise like many people and have been playing since Morrowind back in 2003.

 

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DHF39HQ/ref=s9_newr_gw_d0_g63_i1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=1SN4CWZE3PYJEJVBGRBR&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=1688200382&pf_rd_i=507846

 

According to wikipedia, Xbox users will have to pay $15 bucks a month to play the game on top of the $60 purchase price. That means it's $75 for the 1st month alone!

PS4 users will not have to pay a monthly fee to play online.

 

I own aPS4 but have never been fan of MMO's, they tend to get boring once I have to grind... Maybe I'll buy it 1 year from now if the price lowers. Unless this MMO is different and unique in its style of course.

We'll see....

 

[EA makes offer on VALVE]

My favorite yesterday was the good folks at Retro Magazine dropped a bomb through kickstarter announcing a Gamestop take over. It was very well written and it duped me until I saw the bottom part of the email.

Lol, I should have taken some time and written a well though out article. Oh well there's always next April 1.

[Syntax Error]

Ok, I downloaded one of your collision examples.

[Syntax Error]

Can someone point me to the exact location for the collision section between missile/enemy and missile player of randomterrain.com? I can move and shoot but I seem to be messing up the collision.

This is the code I have for the collision. the program compiles fine as long as I don't type this in.

 

if collision (missile0,player1)then score = score+1 : player1x = rand / 2 : player1y = 0 : missile0y = 255

if collision (player0,player1)then score = score-1 : player1x = rand / 2 : player1y = 0 : missile0y = 255

[EA makes offer on VALVE]

It appears as EA wants to acquire VALVE and with it their assets such as the Half Life franchise.

Larry Probst says this purchase would greatly increase Electronic Arts portfolio and allow them to further expand their merchandise.

I for one oppose this idea. What do you guys think?

[Syntax Error]

Thank you both!

Now I gotta read more into Randoom Terrains how to make the character move.

after some reading I'll try messing with it again for the movement and hopefully a title screen.

[Syntax Error]

I've been trying to figure out what's wrong with the indentation. I'll read the link tomorrow when I start again. It was working fine until this line gave me problems.

missile0y=missile0y-2: goto draw_loop

that is were the system is telling me the error is.
