    This is Billkwando's wife (planning a surprise) AKA. Rot feels like he's been SUCKERED!

    Hi everybody! I'm Bill's wife, Peggy. I thought I had an account under the name KungFuKitty, but I can't find the login for it. Hopefully he's not annoyed by me posting (that's what you get for saving your password! LOL) but I was trying to come up with a surprise for him for Christmas, so I'm...

    Wired PS3 controller won't rumble on PC

    Hi all! I have a Hori Flightstick 3 HOTAS, which is a (rather rare, unfortunately) wired PS3 controller, designed primarily for Ace Combat, much like the FS2 (PS2) and the Ace Edge (360). The controller is compatible with windows via generic MS driver 6.1.7601.18199 (probably the problem)...

    So I've started subtitling Maximum the Hormone videos..their new CD trailver is very WTF

    but I think it's pretty awesome. I bought the CD and it's amazing. Check out the trailer (not trailver!): (One of the songs is a shout out to old skool gaming and references a Konami code, though not THE Konami code, lol) I've also done Yoshu Fukushu (the song), ALIEN. amd Abara Bob, which...

    iScan Pro upscaler problem (losing video signal)

    I recently picked up an iScan Pro to upscale my Neo Geo to 480p, so I could run the SLG-HD (it's on the way) but I'm having a couple problems. The main one is that I keep losing the signal, or so it seems, and I only get a brown or gray screen. Eventually, the image comes back on its own...

    Turbografx amp / scart wiring question.

    I've gone rgb crazy, and I wanted to build a scart cable for my tg16 to use w/ my YUV box. I'm using the mmmonkey amp tutorial (3 transistors) and the expansion port to tap the signals, and I wanted to know a couple things. 1. What's the 75ohm resistor about with scart? Do I need it/them? I...

    Neo Geo controller port problem

    Hi guys! My Neo has always been flaky about how you plug stuff into it (normally both carts and controllers have to be backed out slightly from the port after insertion for it to work properly) but lately it's been getting really bad, where I have to adjust it 2 or 3 times before the controller...

    RGB / SCART to YUV / Component - pot / knob / resistor / screw adjustment & troubleshootin I just picked up one of those RGB to component boxes and it's pretty neat. Mine is the cys 2100 / cvs 287 clones (the one with the yellow knobs / resistors inside) and I was wondering if anyone has any...

    Need wiring advice for controller hacking project.

    Hi Guys! I'm wiring up a shifter for racing games (OK, Daytona USA) and I wanna make it universal so that I can use a variety of console controllers (via button hack), as well as a standard PC USB (for which I ordered an MS Sidewinder). The conundrum is that some controllers are common ground...

    The Official N-G.com Cooking Thread?

    Yesterday when I was making lunch I decided to make a quick "cooking" video on my cell phone. It's really just me making dipping sauce for steamed dumplings, but I noticed we didn't really have a cooking thread, so I figured I'd get this party started. I've never done anything like this before...

    Need tech project parts advice (Mounting a circuit board with no screws)

    I'm building a custom Virtual On twin stick, using a madcatz 360 retro arcade stick, and a pair of NES Quick Shot joysticks, reminiscent of the cake pan twin sticks (as appropriate VO trigger sticks are very hard to find). I'm set on using the original 360 guide button that's attached to the...

    you go to play an Art of Fighting game after a long hiatus, and you start to think your controller is broken because after the first few special moves, none will come out anymore? :scratch::oh_no::hammer:

    The power supply on my MVS crapped out. Would this work as a replacement?

    I wasn't sure about the amps so I figured I'd ask: http://www.lizardlick.com/Mean-Well-15A-Switching-Power-Supply_p_216.html Would this be sufficient? Any other advice or suggestions are welcome, as always. I'm more than a little worried about rewiring somebody else's mess, but I'm hoping...

    Odd MV1 audio issue

    Last night I installed the 2nd speaker in my cab (hand-screwing wood screws into MDF inside a marquee hole is not your friend). Both speakers worked fine in dual-mono (I think). I unplugged, flipped on the stereo switch, then plugged in the cab. The music kinda faded in and sounded static-y, so...

    Possibly the dumbest question ever asked.

    Is it ok to use a magnetic screwdriver to pop a chip out of a socket? I'm installing a unibios in my MVS today and I didn't wanna mess anything up.

    Can anyone tell me the exact dimensions of the 2 memory card stickers/plates?

    I'm working on adding a memory card slot to a machine that didn't originally have one, and space is limited, so I really wanted to figure out the size of the memory card stickers. I know nobody is likely to have both, but if anyone can post the size of the version they have, it would help me a...
