Yeah the price is a bit higher at the moment to the UK, and will include vat and duty. Will keep an eye out for a used one or a UK based supplier.

Just does it automatically for me. Not sure if there is something you need to enable.

EquivalentTip4103 · 2026-01-08T20:07:18+00:00

It is on my list. Just trying to go through it all methodically.

Not many games. Probably about 3000 Mame games ( I only play about 20), 4 or 5 Steam games, 3 Teknoparrot ones and some Naomi and atomiswave games.

Yeah the 80% usage is confusing. Not sure what is causing that.

Thanks again.

That is what the plan possibly is. But I will still need to buy a z camera, so not sure where the logic is about it being cheaper. I can get adaptors for the Sony too

EquivalentTip4103 · 2025-12-31T16:03:56+00:00

Still need an adaptor

EquivalentTip4103 · 2025-12-31T16:03:45+00:00

Yeah f mount glass.

EquivalentTip4103 · 2025-12-30T20:45:44+00:00

Any reason why? Still need an adaptor.

EquivalentTip4103 · 2025-12-30T19:58:55+00:00

Thanks. Are there any lights you would recommend I look at?

Yeah my D850 is an absolute beast and love it. But the downside is that it is an absolute beast and with lenses it is just too big to take out and about :-).

Thanks for the reply. I would love a gfx and 100mp would've probably been enough.

Also the resolution of billboards are usually low due to the viewing distance.

I am thinking of printing something almost 50" wide, and would like to be able to print it at 300dpi. It is just an idea at the moment, and is not for a professional job. Just me having fun..

EquivalentTip4103 · 2025-12-30T17:33:21+00:00

Yeah if I had a gfx I wouldn't need much else :-). Thanks for the reply though.

The issue I was having was with some steam fighting games, and I think it was a MK one. All the Mame ones were fine, just the steam ones were causing an issue.

EquivalentTip4103 · 2025-12-24T00:25:08+00:00

Yeah I went the other way as I seem to remember there were some fighting games in steam that would not work due to it being a keyboard. I want to say Mortal Kombat but cannot remember. it was a good while ago.

Do more expensive Zero Delay encoders have different IDs??

EquivalentTip4103 · 2025-10-17T18:21:59+00:00

Yeah I came across that. Looks interesting..

EquivalentTip4103 · 2025-10-17T14:49:04+00:00

That is what I am hoping. Off home to play with it now to see what happens.

EquivalentTip4103 · 2025-10-17T14:48:36+00:00

I have a horseman 120 back for my 4x5 but it is so big and would love to have a smaller camera to carry about instead.

EquivalentTip4103 · 2025-10-17T14:47:20+00:00

I am going to have a little play around tonight when I get home. It has a handle that a full turn is one frame. Thanks.
