    This is a interesting topic I was wondering if there were others out there that could be used now that I'm learning more about it. when I first started I just approached it by myself and got a bunch of information from random sources and a lot of people were talking about it and using the StarTech and of course I went with one ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ only cuz I didn't know and still have little information I also failed to find anything else out there or at least on a quick search it's been some time now so I don't remember how well I would have looked so if here or somewhere else has a list that would be great or if you guys are planning on starting one even better

    Set aside from PC games I think the original Xbox is probably going to be the oldest I play for consoles set aside from the Super Nintendo only cuz I have one game on there I like to play Then I think the only other console I ever took a liking to was the GameCube and some of the other Nintendo stuff I never really got into the emulators I literally just play the original Xbox games on it HA! I'm sure there's people in here who are going to find that lame I figure if I wanted to play those games just get the console but there really wasn't anything that I had interest in so like I said the Super Nintendo was it The reason why I even mobbed the Xbox is to preserve the games that I have which are very few at that but at least once or twice a year I go back and play one of them until I beat it once again might be lame to someone but I enjoy it yeah come to think about it the only two older consoles I would have ever come into contact with was the Atari and Super Nintendo when I was a kid Then we would not get a new console until the original Xbox was to come out

    I meant to ask you about the OLED TVs that's a thing right and are they really compared to plasma? I seen a thing about it a long time ago and forgot the details is OLED really that big of a deal and would it be worth it for Retro Gaming?
  4. Tartarus
    yeah thank you for the info I'm learning a little bit of the time with it
  5. Tartarus
    he has bags of beef jerky at his Workstation so he can snack as he's going yes to see someone working on something like this is pretty neat
  6. Tartarus
    yeah it does I'm kind of becoming a fan of the plasma actually I've been playing with this one that i got, I'm also becoming a fan of the CRTs I just need to do more homework on them
  7. Tartarus
    Oh wow well I was aware that they had that stuff for CRTs but I had no idea that I could use that for plasma? is there any information you can reference for me to look at so that I can educate myself further?

    ROTF... snack of programming champions guy is so serious he's needing the fuel

    The first thing to my knowledge is you need to validate which revision of board you have and make sure that you are aware of which one you have thoroughly. once you've located the TSOP you need to figure out who the manufacturer is That will set you in the direction you need to go from there

    so the overall goal if possible is to go between something with Windows 98 to XP reason for this is because the compatibility for the IDE capability my plan is just to set up the free dos usb drive and see if I can get this to work I got the stuff ordered we'll see what happens either way I think I'm going to have fun even if I have a tremendous failure I missed out when Xbox was at its peak Mod Time
  11. Tartarus
    yes it's starting to get really ridiculous
  12. Tartarus
    yes and I feel like it would be a specially in your area I could be wrong I feel like they would just have one of those shops where they have old parts especially over there in California where they're real big on Recycling and reusing I mean it's not like you're going to take PC remains and turn those into a pair of f****** Moses sandals I'm sure you'll find something around there and it'll give you something to do and share your findings
  13. Tartarus
    might even be able to find an old pawn shop that has one kicking around or maybe one of those old PC recycle shops where they have old stuff laying around I've also had issues finding older computers where I'm at generally I have to Outsource out of state or occasionally I can find something on Facebook that's not price through the roof
  14. Tartarus
    with you being in California you should be able to find a lot of old computers they're pretty easily I live in cornfields with Oodles of cow shit everywhere hop on the local Facebook should be able to find something really easy probably for dirt cheap or maybe even a trade of some kind
  15. Tartarus
    yeah that's actually what I was targeting was an older Dell with IDE HAHA! back in 2000 I was playing Diablo 1 on a Dell clamshell case or scissor case I've heard it called both getting the pants scared off me drinking too much soda staying up late.. you might laugh at that now but as a kid that was actually kind of freaky to be underground with the weird sounds demonic s*** running around trying to kill you cool sounds like I'm on the right track thank you
  16. Tartarus
    I am presuming that one needs to be doing this on a period correct machine that has IDE.. drop flasher on the desktop run the application cross your fingers?
  17. Tartarus
    yeah overall I'm happy with the quality I think it looks great my myself personally 42 inch TV and my friend he's a TV freak he says the plasmas used to be known for their colors yeah I think it looks really good
  18. Tartarus
    40 bucks is pretty good specially if it was 40 bucks per TV 40 bucks for the two that's even better yeah Goodwill is changing how they do some of their Tech and some of the things that they get in
  19. Tartarus
    okay that's good to know found it on Facebook they didn't want it we asked if they still had it they said come get it told us it had a very low run time it lived its life down in the basement in the second living quarters not used often older couple that live in a wealthier area anyway that's the quick of the story i didn't have to clean it when i got it here it was pretty much spotless a little bit of dust but that's about it so basically I got really lucky with this thing should have bought a lottery ticket with that
  20. Tartarus
    When I get a little bit more time I need to get into it and see if it needs to be cleaned has four fans on the back of it at the top this is the first plasma TV I've ever owned so my knowledge to them is limited are these things known for having capacitor issues or did you just replace them simply because of age?
  21. Tartarus
    nice sounds like you're somewhat familiar with this thing then Thanks
  22. Tartarus
    slightly off topic but I've always had this idea of introducing a Magic Eye to ax xbox haha I lack the skill I don't know what its purpose would be but it would be really neat to see that introduced I think
  23. Tartarus
    Maybe some type of little LCD screen change up the image I don't know something that just goes through different things.
  24. Tartarus
  25. Tartarus
    I got it set up and it looks really good, I tried out some of the titles that i play and they look absolutely amazing for me anyway
