  1. I just bought 3 licences of Win 7 Ultimate 64-bit OEM for $240 from http://www.arc.com.au Top buy. The best thing I like about Win7 is the development process MS went through. They realised that Vista's development process sucked. It took 5 years to make and computers go through a lot of change in 5 years. With Vista, different teams spent ages trying to get their bit to work and longer trying to make a whole build to happen. With Win7, they went back to how they made Win95, Win98 and XP with having weekly builds. That meant a stable version was made every week. If something was too much of a handfull to get working, rather than bodge it, they dicided if they really needed it. Thats why Win7 is stable as. It even has a live CD version FFS. I will be upgrading when I get back to Sydney in a day or 2.
  2. My birthday present to myself arrived today :) * Remotes for my 50" rear projection screens (Sega Shed had both the Mitsubishi and Hitachi, so I got one of each) * Metallic Sega emblem for Sega Rally steering wheel. A little bit of bling to replace the blank black thats there at the moment on one of my cabs. * Sega GD-ROM kit (drive, cables, DIMM). Got this up and running with my Naomi and played my only GD-ROM game: Mobilesuit Gundam Federation Vs Zeon DX (or something like that). OK game. Basically a third person Japanese Battletech. Very frustrating to play as you can't rotate the view, it locks onto an opponent.
  3. Chicks like that is the reason we blokes invented dog style. So we can keep the horn and get our rocks off. A head like that = instant soft-on.
  4. Beter hope its not south of the border. I am after a GunbladeNY, too.
  5. Ouch. Guess I'll have to live with the burn in and small split.
  6. Maybe its just me, but when I watched that youtube vid, I half expected to see Vic Morrow's head go bouncing by.
  7. I prefer the old KGB method of dealing with a drug problem: Round up all the dealers and addicts, put them against a wall and bang! no more drug problem. BTW, Guilty as charged. She can rot in jail.
  8. I have a spare from when I was getting Drive BD Error. Turns out it wasn't the drive board at fault. The steering wheel is connected to 2 pots. One connected to the drive board, the other to the game board stack. "Drive BD Error" means that the values read (during the start-up calibration) by both boards don't match up. Which could be caused by... 1) Bad steering pot. Either one not working would make the read values different. Check out the values in the INPUT TEST in the test menu. If the values change as you steer, then it should be OK. Note: If you get Drive BD error, I don't think that the values from the drive board get updated in this test. 2) Bad wiring. A disconnected plug behind the steering wheel or at the Drive board or game board? Again, the INPUT TEST should tell you if this is good for the game board. 3) Bad board in the game stack. INPUT TEST giving you whacky results? ie pedals do steering or something similar. This is what I had. I found out by swapping boards from a known good stack. 4) Bad drive board. Does it show numbers as it boots? Does it display an error number or just "----" as mine did. Try swapping with a known good one.
  9. Just noticed this over at Highway... http://www.arcade-game-sales.com/products/outrun-sdx-car/9241-1.html ...apparently 2 linked Outrun2SP Deluxe units is worth $85,000+. :lol Mine will be a shit load cheaper than that, old son. Considering it runs on Chihiro hardware, which is XBox-based (Pentium3 733MHz + nVidia GeForce3). I think thats a bit steep. After all, the code is arcade perfect (actually the PC version has ability for widescreen and much higher resolutions).
  10. Strange, works for me. Its on a free host, so sometimes it disappears for an hour or so when they do server work. You get what you pay for, I guess. Anyhole, I took my scope down the shed to try and figure the difference in the signals. None apart from the sync voltage being different. The issues are on the Hitachi screen. I tried the Mitsubishi screen and she synced up perfectly first time, every time. :unsure Anybody know if these screens are replaceable? I mean the actual screen that the image is protected into. I have some serious burn-in. Is it just plastic?
  11. I'll take the Master System and the SNES !!! What model number is the SMS?
  12. Simpler than that actually...turns out that a couple lines added to a config file is all I needed for Outrun2006. Link to the project on my site. With pics of Outrun2006 running

    The collectability and value of a unit is strongly affected by its originality.
  14. Made an adapter PCB so I can just plug in the Model2 connectors and the PC connectors. I had the steering and accelerator working (albeit in reverse, I need to swap +5 and GND on my board). Hooked these up to a gameport connection via a USB converter (SuperJoyBox7). I went to boot up Outrun2006 and it fucking changed res to 640x480x31KHz, thus no pic. The only options in Outrun2006's config is 640x480,800x600 and 1024x768. I am assuming that they are the ones that ArcadeVGA puts in display properties. Any ideas?
