      sure find out where it goes into the RF modulator, condition and amplify, pretty much like every other system 

  2. Being "trapped" in the house due to snapped garage door springs is an interesting experience.

  4. Got one of those cheap $35 "858D" hot air stations from eBay today. Holy shit, that thing gets hot fast. Assuming it doesn't die on me the first few times I use it, it'll be great for my needs: preheating boards, shrink tubing, loosening stuck pins after desoldering, etc.

      I use a tile as well but when I am done I point mine up, the air doesnt make it too far past the box

      I use mine all the time, mostly for hot glue and heat shrink but they actually do work well for soldering too

  12. Obtained old 17" VGA CRT from coworker. Now Dreamcast SF Rush looks even better. Played for several hours. Finally got a top 5 time. Why'd we all get rid of CRTs? Computer desks didn't get any thinner.

  17. I bit the bullet and got a Raspberry Pi. However, I need a micro SD card to go with it, and I'm running low on them. What would you suggest? How much storage would I need?

    1. Osgeld

      Osgeld

      think the image is 2gb so anything larger than that is good to start with and have some space to play with ... if your using retropie my setup is a 8 gig sd card with a 120 gig hard drive plugged into the usb port (it will read roms from it direct)

  18. yup, just got screwed on a second ebay purchase this week

  19. Took a gamble on a "nonworking/parts/as-is" DINA system/Telegames Personal Arcade on eBay. Short version of the story: seller clearly didn't know anything about the system or how to test it, and I scored a beautifully working DINA (apart from minor RF drifting with some games) for well below market value. :D
