    What is normal/expected when advertising a yard sale that will have vintage video games for sale? We're planning now and I want to make sure those interested know about it.

    1. GoldLeader

      Why not just throw in the words "vintage video games" or "retro video games" or something like that?  That's all I'd need to pay attention.

       

      Sometimes on a Yard Sale sign on a telephone pole by the road, it will say clothes, dishes, XBOX,...And  so on...

    This is my favorite feature on AA. It's nice just to say hi once In a while. I think I've left the house maybe 20 times in the last 2 years. Working from home, health is poor, doing my best to stay active. Trying to play guitar again, haven't touched it in years. So I guess that's my status for now. ✌️

      @xucaen hey Xucaen. Hope you're feeling better bro. If you need anything, feel free to let us know and will do our best to give a helping hand. :)

      Can relate on the guitar part.   Didn't have an urge for a long time, but want to give it another go.

    Is there such a thing as a multi game mame board? Something that I can build a cabinet around and simply plug into a monitor and controllers? I googled but I'm unsure of what I'm finding...

    1. wongojack

      wongojack

      I think most people looking for that are probably going to use a Raspberry Pi.  It can be just the board running the software, so you don't need an expensive case etc.  Just gotta keep the chips cool (just like any board).

       

      I've never done it because I have so many old computers that can run MAME that I just haven't bothered with RPi.

      I know what you mean. But the answer is really any PC motherboard or R-Pi. I seem to recall there are Jamma adapters for those too of course.

    I feel like long statuses should have a feature to expand so we can read the entire message.?

    1. BydoEmpire

      Just in case you didn't happen to know, clicking the time will do that, although it moves out of the forum view to the poster's page. Definitely agree it would be nice to be able to expand the actual status the way you can expand replies.

    Food for thought: which retro console would make the best multi game arcade cabinet?

      I've often thought a PS2 would work pretty well, as it would have access to all those arcade comps (mostly on PS1) and all the PS1/PS2 games.  But also a modded XBOX from what I've been told.

    3. Keatah

      Keatah

      XBOX or PC stuffed with emulators.

      Y'know, I imagine I am completely wrong, and certainly not beefing on anyone else for their own ideals, but for as old as some of the early disc based systems are, I still don't quite put them in "retro" yet.

      (Remember when Guns and Roses showed up on classic rock stations...?)

      :)

      Teasing, but I do mostly play mid 80's cart based systems-

      I have a(n old)"supercomputer", last thing I was playing before I got trapped in high scoring was Formula One 2015, I think, it was super nice.

      Well, I "regressed" for several years, some sporadic PS2 and all(Activision anthology doesn't quite count as "modern..."), but about a year or so ago I got an OG X-Box, never had one before, and played MotoGP2 for a good while.

      To me-the modern Formula one was certainly better, sharper, etc, but it still amazed me, when I looked at how "old" the MotoGP2 for Xbox was, at how good it looked.

       

      I'm not the Retro Police, lol, I swear, that's just how I imagine retro, in my kinda uneducated, closed minded world.

      I think the reality is, I'm just old...

      :P

    My boss joked in a team meeting about getting rid of a developer to pay for client's server upgrades. He didn't laugh. I got a bad feeling about 2022. ?

      @Frozone212: are you sure about that?  I know two people in the Redmond, WA area who would disagree with you based on their experience.

      When is it a good idea to let greed take over for the brain?

      If he didn't laugh, maybe it wasn't a joke.

      Time to update your resume and start looking around for something new.

    I slept about 14 hours first time in years now everything is clogged up backed up stuffed up am I still dreaming? Oh, Good morning.

    Does anyone know where I can find a USPS price chart for first class shipping? I need it for games I plan to post here later. \\//

    Is there any way to make retroarch see my analog gamepad as a paddle controller?

    Can someone help me configure retroarch? It scanned and found my ST games but after that I don't see them.

      Oh good, now you don't have to wear a mask anymore...right?  Right?

    3. xucaen

      xucaen

      CDC recommends wearing a mask in public crowded places, I'll probably wear one whenever i have to interact with someone i don't know. When visiting family who have all been vaccinated we won't need masks. ✌️

      Cpu, my phone has a big crack across the back ? i expect it to fail any day now.

    I've been self quarantined since last march, and now I'm coming down with a cold. o_O.

    1. GoldLeader

      GoldLeader

      That sucks!   On the plus side, someone I work with got a cold and it only lasted a day!  So it might be a real lightweight cold.   Fluids, vitamins, and sleep might do the trick and knock it out fast!

      I've been taking Zinc and Quercetin the past few months in the hopes that they might help me avoid random sicknesses. Haven't gotten sick so far, but it might be a coincidence. (I also take D3, C, and other stuff.)

  13. xucaen

    There are so many games on the Atari Age store I would love to buy. I wish there was an option for digital download only. I really don't have the room right now.

    1. GoldLeader

      GoldLeader

      So what you're saying is you don't really have the ROM right now.

    2. GoldLeader

      HAaaaaaaaa!

      Stop buying pre-orders and you won't have this issue.

      the fact that they delayed the product to get it right is "drama in your life"?

       

      You clearly don't work in any part of product development. Delays happen.

      I never buy on pre-order. I prefer the spontaneity like we had back in the 70's and 80's. Hey let's go get THIS! Yup! So much more fun.

    Ebay really screwed me. They didn't charge enough for shipping and then Paypal wouldn't use my checking account to pay the high shipping costs. (flat rate raised to $21! o_O)

    1. jd_1138

      jd_1138

      You can't rely on what ebay thinks the s/h will be. You have to put the item(s) in whatever container you want to ship in, then measure the exact weight and dimensions and put that into the shipping area on the listing form then the buyer will have to pay for the full price.  You can buy neat little digital scales for like $10 off ebay. I use mine for baking too (homemade pizza, yum).  Or is it a case of ebay's USPS flat rate prices are not up to date?  I hardly ever ship flat rate. I usually just use a custom size box that's small as possible.

    2. GoldLeader

      GoldLeader

      So...You had a Better experience than I when trying to use ebay's shipping business!  (Heh),...Yeah I tried that mess once...I ended up having to ship it on my money anyway and waited 6 months for a Post Office refund because of ebay's "Convenient shipping labels" (Which weren't right)...Never again, but shipping is always the X Factor unfortunately.  Someday I may try 1138's idea, but it always seems to backfire...

      I've used a scale for years, any time ebay auto fills in information it is always garbage

    This weekend I watched Reigo King of the Sea Monsters and Raiga God of the Monsters on DvD. If you like daikaiju movies they were pretty good. The second one was hilarious.

      There are people who supposedly think that beer causes the virus, just because of the name. If that's true, they should probably be the first to go.
