    We got a White Christmas here in East Tennessee, first I remember in my 42 years.

      Same here in North, GA, although we did have one about 5 or 6 years ago as well.

      Are you sure you will remember?

      I grew up in Maryville and went to college at UT. We had one or two white Christmases in the late 70's and early 80's. I'm loving all the pics on Facebook from friends back home.

    I remember them being in my hometown Wal-Mart (at the time recently converted from a Kuhn's Big K, which is how Walmart entered many Southeastern markets) and Howard Bros. (where Mom and Dad bought my 2600 when I was 4). The treat was going to the nearest mall and Hill's, which was an hour away, in particular Sears and Circus World Toys.

    Sim racing on triple screen setup: why did I wait so long?

      Home built, i7-4790K quad core @4Ghz (liquid cooled), 16 GB RAM, EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB, 3 Dell 27in. gaming monitors.  

       

      I've had to do some tweaking with the graphics, since I'm pushing 3 monitors, but it is amazing.  I'll try to get pictures later.

      Been watching a bit of Jimmy Broadbent recently and have been toying with the idea but not sure I have the space. Even bought Assetto Corsa when it was on offer on Steam. But the force feedback on my Thrustmaster TMX isn't great with AC - works brilliantly with Forza 6 on the Xbone but something's not right with the setup on AC.

      Currently I have a stool with some books leveling the left monitor out, I'll end up moving my rig another desk I have.  I've read that Assetto Corsa has great ffb, but it took a while for me to get it to feel right on my G27.

    I'm partial to ASUS or Gigabyte motherboards, Nvidia video, and Corsair cooling. Back in the mid-late 90's when I worked in tech before getting into teaching technology, I preferred Rendition video cards and Aureal A3D sound, since many of the Papyrus racing sims utilized them. I wish someone would find out a way to make a Rendition Verite wrapper, then I can play SODA Off Road in it's best state!

    Finally got time to get my old PS2 Logitech GT Force Pro set up with DriveHub, so I've been tinkering with Project CARS, Forza 5 and Forza Horizon 3. I'm thinking about getting Project CARS 2 or Dirt Rally 2.0 or NASCAR Heat 3, since I loved Dirt 2 Daytona and the addition of dirt track racing.

    YES! Rick Barnes is staying at Tennessee!

      Good decision.

    Only in Tennessee can a coach win Coach of the Year and leave the same day.

    Happy Retiremtnt from the announcers' booth to Darrell Waltrip. Was my favorite NASCAR driver growing up.

    It's hard being a Tennessee Vol fan sometimes.

      Slimey Pearl sets us back 10 years, then takes Auburn to the Final Four.

      I'd be happy to be rid of Pearl regardless of what Auburn does. Barnes seems like a much better choice.

      I love Rick Barnes. He brought the program back after Pearl, Cuonzo, and Tyndall wrecked it. We got lucky that he fell in our lap when he did.

    FIRE HOLLY WARLICK!!!

    Rendition Verite 2. Almost every sim racer had one, as most of the Papyrus sims exclusively supported it for 3d graphics. I knew after firing up classics like NASCAR Racing 2 and SODA Off Road that PC gaming would never be the same! Aureal 3D sound. Like the Rendition, Papyrus sims also supported A3D. With a 5:1 speaker system, being able to hear a car on your quarter panel was amazing!

    Yep, North American Philips, later Philips Consumer Electronics. Their former headquarters were just outside of Knoxville, off I-40 exit 396 in Strawberry Plains. The old sign still overlooking I-40 East still shows the labelscar from those days.

    You got a great deal! PDR is an awesome game!

    Finally found an old enough CD-R drive to burn this to. Wow! Beautiful game! and fun too! Great job!

    I have a good, working Solaris, and in better condition! the one I swapped was dead, wouldn't work and was in rough shape. The DKJr. cart had also seen better days. Believe me, I would have NEVER swapped a good Solaris. Solaris is my favorite 2600 game! And yes, I do like DKJr. from time to time.
  16. cuda_man
    I had a Donkey Kong Junior (red label) with a broken tab, making it near impossible to insert into my composite modified six switcher. I had a Solaris that didn't work, cleaning and other measures couldn't bring it back to life. So I swapped the Solaris board with the DKJr. First time I every took a cart apart, which was hard for me to believe considering the way I like to tinker. Good job rescuing your games, Gorfcadet!
  17. cuda_man
    Awesome! Sadly, my Star Wars Arcade cart doesn't work, tried cleaning and all
  18. cuda_man
    Beautiful! I like your techniques. I'm restoring a light sixer too! I added the appropriate zener diodes to the joystick caps and am going to make antistatic covers for the switches, since the RIOT had to be replaced. I got the composite mod, but I'm going to keep the parts I remove so it can be reversible, including not cutting on the case. Keep up the good work!

    I bought an RP3 Model B at a "local" (closest an hour away) Target last weekend. Got Retropie running, and decided to delved into cramming it into a Atari Flashback 1 Mini 7800 case. Going to go with USB right now instead of 9 pin controller ports, I tried to get the Mini 7800 sticks working with GPIO with no success, and I would be limited anyway. I'll probably buy a 2600daptor to use real Atari controllers and my old trusty Xbox360 controllers. I have successfully gotten the difficulty, select, pause, and reset buttons to work via GPIO! Got to get a few more parts together and working before I get the drill and Dremel out. I've wanted one of these for a while, so glad I finally got one!

    Test Drive: LeMans 24 Hours is awesome! I played it to death on the Dreamcast, then got it for the PS2. Very fun game.

    I posted there regularly beginning around 1997. I still have my collection, though right now boxed up in storage. I'm glad to see many JI posters here.

    I had the SNES version when it first came out, before I owned a Jaguar. When I was in high school (ca. 1993-4) I used to waste time dreaming up plays on notebook paper to try in the play editor. I enjoyed the SNES version, and IMHO some of the music and sounds are a little better. But I like the improved graphics, bigger sprites, and overall feel of the Jaguar version. I played two seasons, one in which I won with the Cowboys, and one with the Bengals in which I came up short in the Super Bowl. Getting the Bengals there was a real challenge!

    Thanks for the suggestions folks! I have noticed that it seems too easy in FF1 to win some battles, especially after watching my best friend back in the day play FF (I always watched, I never played). Anyway I'll keep the suggestions in mind. Thanks cuda man

    Hey Yeah, I lost my RPG "virginity" today LOL! I've alway been a action gaming kinda guy. Today I dusted my Gameboy Advance off, which I hadn't played in over a year. I decided to get some new games. At my local shop there was a copy of Final Fantasy 1 & 2: Dawn of Souls. I decided to take the risk and play an RPG. Boy, after the first battle I won in FF 1 I never felt so good! I don't know why I hadn't tried them earlier, there's more to them that what I had thought. Anyway I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for other RPGs along the same lines. I'm going to try to play through the FF games now that I am hooked, but would like to try some others. Sometimes, change is good! Mike

    I always wanted to see a sprite-based racer similar to Super Burnout only with vehicles with four wheels, mainly sports cars, and damage, tire wear, fuel, stuff like that. Sorta like Test Drive LeMans with sprite-based graphics. That would rock! If anyone ever starts work on a Jag racing game give me a holler, I could help with beta testing
