So where quality is concerned, it's the opposite of Flashback game systems.

Ohhh snap!

But that's it. The touchscreen just plugs straight down into the female headers on the Arduino board. Connect to your computer and run a batch script to program the Arduino with the SDrive-MAX firmware and that's it.

Wow, that sounds fairly easy. I do have a temperamental 1010 SIO cable, so I just need to meter which end it is and use that.

Did you use the Elegoo UNO touch screen ? These are the only ones I can find in the UK that work with the Arduino.

Yes, I bought the suggested Elegoo touchscreen/microSD card module from Amazon (US) for $15.84. I plugs right down into the Arduino & once you update the Arduino firmware (automated by the script provided), when you boot the system the first time, you use the include stylus to calibrate the screen & you're basically done with that part.

@nanochess - that Star Trek x-ray scanner is great! Did your Nano come with an SD card slot to hold the image files? I didn't see mention of the actual card interface anywhere in the writeup. Once I get the hang of this thing, I intend to experiment with a 5200 digital joystick adapter for maze-games and such. Eventually I'll build a custom enclosure with a project box and place to mount the keypad on top.

I used the SD card slot in the LCD display to contain the images.

sounds fun, I have a flora arduino compatible wareable.

What a great time to be alive and into tech! My brother was lucky - he got to watch this on base, behind the VAB.

Congratulations! I can't wait to receive mine.

you've achieved the Holy Trinity

Don't forget some El Patio microwave burritos. Perfect weekend.

I would have something similar...

Probably "The Simpsons" I recorded the night before on VHS,

a Phanatsy Star 2 save ready,

And a bottle (or 3) of cream soda.

True that!

Yup!

However, friends do let friends cold solder drunk.

Also, don't solder with a 15 watt iron. It'll melt your skin just fine, but solder? Heh, nope.

I've used 15-watt irons with 60/40 solder just fine, but with lead-free solder, you'll want something a little hotter.

Order now and Poland will have your goods shipped to you by December 43rd!

Yeah, it be here January 30 of 19100.

So the answer: 10 days from the date of shipping.

I find that "wanting" is more fun than "having" in many cases ... low resolution graphics puts a hurt on my brain. But some of those game designs are so completely classic!

DOS was a great era. Still looking for Ski Free, commander Keen, and Kings quest for modern platforms.

You can run skifree on 32-bit windows, and there is a 32-bit version that works with win64.

I used scissors myself, found out it was cheaper to buy one double sided disk than two single sided ones.

I always just used a hole punch.

I used to as well. But the only hole punch here in the house is a solid-core punch. It won’t cut through the tough plastic sleeve of a floppy disk. As a kid, we had one that actually had a hollow punch - the edges served as cutters and could easily notch a disk.

Yeah, usually the case here. 16 years in the same house, no issues ‘til recently. USPS says they traced last one to the incorrect address the carrier left it at, but so far the deliveree hasn’t coughed it up. Not sure what a $15 item is worth in terms of time/effort to get back. *shrug*

Our post office is good, too. It might be worth popping in and speaking to a supervisor if this is a recurring issue.

Never had a problem with my local post office, though I've noticed that the mail truck has been running a bit slow lately.

Why admit you may be wrong, when you can let the court decide that for you later on?

They just like playing Twister...

...with reality

Who determines what's right and wrong? Often times it all boils down to personal belief. Some people sure do a lot of typing trying to force their own personal beliefs on others.

Lucky. Short time at 85% up here.

Excellent! Reminds me... about 15 years ago, a childhood friend gave me his Amiga 1200 and 1084s monitor. :-)

That's fantastic! This monitor is a great gift but if anyone wants to give me an Amiga, PM me and I'll give you my address.

Sounds like an all around good day.

I have no idea what that might be like.

LOL

Do an Office Space on it now. Take that! And that, for giving me a crappy picture!

Damn it feels good to be a gangsta.

Whomever kicked the server and got it running again, thanks!

It happens ???

Sorry to hear, wow, that sucks.

Yeah sorry to hear...When I was in High School, my friend 5 houses away killed himself...

Hahahaha! Yes, I know Flojomojo. And Neil Gaiman is right - GRRM is not my bitch. I still don't think he'll live to finish the store. I hope I'm wrong. I got up at 2:00 am on July 12, 2011 to download DANCE on my Kindle and read for almost 20 hours straight. Hope I can do the same for WINDS someday but I really doubt I'll be able to do it for A DREAM OF SPRING.

Personally, I seems like he's burnt out on GOT book writing and prefers all his other more social activities. He may have left it behind.

GAME O ThRonES!!!CHEERS!!!!!!!!!! Woooooo!!!

Love the picture quality and especially the rich colors from a 1702.

Yup.

I've got one and wired a s-video jack on the back panel, tied into the luma & chroma! Now I can plug any s-video into it!
