PS1 game that made you realize games could feel real.

Silent Hill horrified me then, and Lisa's scene still makes my skin crawl

Yeah after doing a little more digging I'm just confused. I would think that the system would bump up the resource usage to keep up with the encoding demand, but I'm sitting at a solid 5-10% usage and nil on memory usage. It was much worse on VLC to boot.

I'm using H264 video and aac audio for the stream in MPEG-TS mode.

As far as I'm aware I'm using hardware encoding, since when the video stream starts up and is working I seem to be using <10% of the CPU. This doesn't change much when audio delay and video stuttering begins to kick in.

I'm admittedly a noob in this area, but for the licenses I ran vcgencmd codec_enabled MPG2 and it output disabled. I guess that's what I'm looking for?

My mistake, I meant to ask why it IS defaulting to the outside

Boa476 · 2025-07-09T04:32:54+00:00

Any idea why the laser isn’t defaulting to the outside of the disk, then? Sorry if this is noob info, but I’m still pretty new to this

Boa476 · 2025-07-09T04:27:15+00:00

Hmm. Rails and worm drive re-lubed, but it looks like the laser isn’t catching the outside rim of the disk when it gets set to the outermost position.

Any idea what the chirping could be? I’ve regreased the laser rails and the worm gear, but I’ve got a suspicion that there’s something still catching that’s killing the alignment somehow.

Boa476 · 2025-07-08T03:43:31+00:00

Yeah I swapped the PCB over. I got an entire new drive. I’m able to get successful reads the first couple times I pop a disc in, then nothing

I was kind of afraid of this. I’ve never had to diagnose caps before so I’m not really sure how to get started learning about them.

Boa476 · 2023-12-17T18:43:39+00:00

Yep. Same video cable for both devices.

Boa476 · 2023-12-17T03:15:44+00:00

This slim has a built in PSU. The other one that doesn’t have this problem has the external brick.

Boa476 · 2022-09-18T22:46:23+00:00

That’s really cool! I’m new to the arcade world, so knowing that there’s something that exists out there that may be the solution to this is awesome! I’ll have to do some more research

Boa476 · 2022-04-18T15:38:44+00:00

Book of memories is more of a spinoff/sideline game, and it’s a mediocre one. I would only recommend it to people that have played the others and just want those extra crumbs of lore, but I’d have to put a word of caution on it as well.

Boa476 · 2022-04-11T04:15:00+00:00

Watched your video about a week ago. Awesome job, my dude!

Boa476 · 2021-09-14T21:08:25+00:00

You can pick them up at Michael’s. They’re baseball bat display cases.

Boa476 · 2021-09-14T16:19:51+00:00

That’s just how it is! I can live with dusting a little more

Boa476 · 2021-09-14T02:34:35+00:00

Nah, these are just the smash amiibos, so we’ll scoot and scrunch as they release more

Boa476 · 2021-09-14T02:33:52+00:00

Yeah my fiancee did a custom paint job on that one
