    [DEAD] PS5 Disc Version (NOT SLIM) $349.99

    YMMV, at around 3 AM EST they started a "circle" deal to take $150 off of a PS5 Disc edition (original, not slim) ,I ordered one at my local target (which now shows out of stock), app claims I can go pick it up in a couple hours... Apparently they'll bring it out to my car so I can avoid the...

    Dude hacks together a "modern" N64

    I prefer using my original hardware as well but from a preservation point of view FPGA may be the best way to get precision "replication" of original hardware, wich may be more precise than emulation. Specifically if we think about how huge speed running is and how seriously it's taken. Would we...

    Wtb Nintendo DS (dsi, 3ds, 2ds, whatever)

    Hi, looking for another Nintendo DS. A fellow [H] member hooked me up with a real nice 3ds that I gave my kid for Christmas except I can never use it lol. I want to play Dragon Quest IX but the kid is addicted to animal crossing so I can never get on in the evenings. It's a regular DS game and...

    Is my old Dell 3007 monitor giving me headaches and eye strain?

    Definitely not worth it for any practical reason. I just like having a screen with analog (s-video/composite) inputs for my ancient games.. sure I could just buy scalers but meh... More of a hobby mixed with some nostalgia for me.

    Is my old Dell 3007 monitor giving me headaches and eye strain?

    Interesting seeing this thread pop up, I'm actually in the process of planning to replace the CCFL/Inverter in my Dell 2007WFP monitors with LEDs but these monitors are pretty complicated.. Maybe that's an avenue to explore to get away from the CCFLs and pwm flicker

    8800GTS 512MB -- Windows XP or Win 7?

    Dual boot XP and Windows 7 like we all did in the late 2000s :p. Both OSes will run fine on the Phenom. I ran a Phenom II X4 955BE from 2009 all the way to 2014 on windows 7 + XP with a Radeon HD 5770. If the GPU starts bleeding, there are much better video cards with XP support all the way up...

    Wtb super Nintendo (the really old Nintendo)

    ^^ Maybe I'll buy a cheap one to gamble on and then go from there with repairs, but so far the two from ebay are being returned because they were $70~ a pop and the sellers said "tested / working", so I'm not really willing to try repairing those myself if you know what I mean, I messaged them...

    Wtb super Nintendo (the really old Nintendo)

    Apparently the snes jr isn't equipped to output RGB. I already bought "HD Retrovision" component cables AND a retrotink for the early models I bought. I see a mod chip for the jr. that I'm equipped to install, but this all comes out to a bit more money then I had on offer lol. I didn't really do...

    Wtb super Nintendo (the really old Nintendo)

    I need a Super Nintendo (the old cartridge based console from the 90s).. the kids are going hard on the retro gaming and so far I've tried two bundles from eBay now, one wouldn't work at all and the other completely freaked out on 3d looking "mode 7" games like Zelda and Mario kart. I got the...

    Nvidia asking US gov to exempt GPUs from tariffs

    I'll grant them that the point of tariffs are to inflate prices of foreign products to entice buyers to shop domestic, meanwhile we still have zilch in the US. However, I 100% agree that Nvidia will just pocket the difference. a 25% tariff and supposed shortages wouldn't cause revenue to...

    Sony working on subscription retro service

    Kind of off the rails but.. I've been content with ps2 compatibility on pcsx2 for over a decade now. https://pcsx2.net/compatibility-list.html there are literally only 10-30 games that aren't playable from start to finish as far as I can tell.. most of the bugs are caused by hardware rendering...

    So after 5 years, my 980TI is dying. What should I do to avoid a 1K card purchase?

    Shot in the dark but it could be a corrupted vbios. Re-flashing the bios fixed a similar issue on my gtx 770 sc. Download the bios for the card from techpowerup and flash it with nvflash, then try installing a driver again. Worst case you screw up and brick the card, best case it comes right...

    Steam Turns 18 YO Today - Rolled Out: Sept. 12 2003

    I loved source too. As far as I recall, competitive players stuck to 1.6 for it's "better" gun mechanics (that require a bit more effort for mastery, supposedly) and "better" hitboxes. That created a bit of a stigma against CSS. I still fire up source to this day to hit some surf servers, 1.6...

    Steam Turns 18 YO Today - Rolled Out: Sept. 12 2003

    Condition-Zero was just CS "remastered" with some single player campaign stuff. It didn't go over well with the competitive player base (who stayed on 1.6 until like 2012...) .. it's probably sold in every bundle valve sells now

    WTB 1 stick 4GB DDR3L 1600 so-dimm for laptop..

    Need to upgrade my joke of a laptop a bit.. it's a HP 15-ac151dx with a single 4gb stick of DDR3 1600.. Windows 10 on it's own keeps the memory pretty much pegged, not to mention it's running in single channel which probably kills the igpu performance. Just need a single 4gb stick.. I guess I...

    Are AMD drivers really still terrible?

    AMD has bad GPU drivers just like Linux is hard to install cargo cult is a hell of a drug :P ...sometimes you just come across a game that likes to crash. I've had worse luck with nvidia over the years, but n=1 and all.
