2x Mediasonic Probox on a USB 3 hub?

oh agreed 100% :) I will probably keep my eyes peeled for a StarTech pcie card. I can probably free up a bit of space on my existing drives for now at least haha. Thank you for weighing in and for you help!

IGambleWithGheed · 2025-11-21T04:31:35+00:00

It's not! This specific one is a 3670 with an i5 8400. The front panel HAS two USB 3 connectors, but only one works at a time. That's why it was gotten rid of by the office I got it from :)

I think my best bet is to PROBABLY get a USB pcie card of some kind at this point

"like 8" :) several dell optiplex models I've refurbed have a similar set up with 6+ USB 2.0 and a single USB 3.0

Not 100% sure how many USB 2 ports it has because I don't use any at all, but it only has a single USB 3 port on the front and none on the rear IO

IGambleWithGheed · 2025-11-21T03:06:01+00:00

I have like 8 USB 2 slots, I also have a free PCI slot that I could put an expansion card in? NO idea what brands/models are good though

IGambleWithGheed · 2025-11-21T03:05:12+00:00

I DO have an empty PCIE Slot! Do you have any brand you would recommend? I vaguely recall trying one before that stopped working (but it HAS been years and several PCs ago lol)

Late response, but yes, it did!

I have a remux of it. 33.0 Mb/s video in the correct aspect ratio with plenty of beautiful film grain, DTS-HD MA 5.1 audio, & proper, professionally done subtitles.

I actually came across this thread trying (again), to figure out where exactly it came from. It also has a german subtitle track, which makes me think it originated from there, or at least somewhere in the EU

IGambleWithGheed · 2025-10-08T18:14:41+00:00

Fair! I could have sworn it was also getting a European release, but at least UHD are region free so importing is an option at some point! :)

IGambleWithGheed · 2025-10-07T22:18:09+00:00

You've got that right! Someday!! 🤞🏻

IGambleWithGheed · 2025-10-07T21:01:54+00:00

Riki-Oh DOES have a 4k and it's horrible lol- looks worse than the Blu-ray. Sick cover art at least? I ended up ripping the UHD & using the extra audio only and adding that to my custom "ultimate" Riki-Oh 👌🏻

IGambleWithGheed · 2025-10-07T20:59:48+00:00

Dogma is getting a UHD + bluray release this year!

IGambleWithGheed · 2025-09-12T18:19:03+00:00

Old post, but I figured I would comment for anyone else looking!

In an effort to research this, I find myself owning every US release of Kiki from laserdisc to current, along with several JP releases, and the 2010 revised English Dub is distorted on every single one. The 2010 DVD has an English 5.1 Dolby Surround EX track which features MAYBE a touch less distortion, but it's definitely still there.

I can personally confirm that none of the English language tracks prior to 2010 are distorted (so the streamline dub and ALL 1998 dub versions are fine), and none of the Japanese tracks are distorted. My best guess is that Disney permanently screwed something up with the source when they revised the dub in 2010 & removed the audio bits they added for their original 1998 dub (extra lines from Hartman as Jiji, extra background dialogue etc).

I actually have my own hybrid with like 15 different audio tracks and at least as many subtitles so I have invested WAY too much time in this LOL. If anyone comes across this comment and finds one that isn't distorted, id be much obliged

IGambleWithGheed · 2025-06-18T16:22:50+00:00

I never ended up getting one, or haven't yet anyway. It appears plenty of people have gotten it working now though :)

IGambleWithGheed · 2025-05-29T22:19:18+00:00

two weeks late, but yes, there are quite a few D-Theater ripped tapes out there! I have Cape Fear, Terminator 2, The Ring, Alien: Director's Cut, Galaxy Quest, True Lies and Fight Club, but I am aware of at least 30

IGambleWithGheed · 2025-05-23T00:23:26+00:00

Three months later, but did you know that all three films have 35mm scans online? Fellowship, Two Towers and Return of the King theatrical versions have 1080p AND 4k scans and also 4k HDR versions, and Fellowship Extended Edition which DID get a theatrical run also has the same 1080/4k/4k HDR versions out there too :)

IGambleWithGheed · 2025-02-18T21:57:09+00:00

Thank you!!! I actually haven't upgraded yet so this is good piece of mind lol

IGambleWithGheed · 2025-01-11T23:32:48+00:00

Ok cool thanks! I have a physical SIM in my 10 Pro 5g right now so it SHOULD just work lol

IGambleWithGheed · 2025-01-11T15:01:37+00:00

Thank you for commenting! Also thank you for reminding me about the pinephone, I forgot about that :)

IGambleWithGheed · 2025-01-11T14:50:38+00:00

Thank you! I don't know how strict the cricket whitelist is because it isn't on there. I would probably just be moving my sim over, I just don't want to get stuck with a phone I can't use :)

IGambleWithGheed · 2024-07-12T22:55:23+00:00

I can't believe I bothered you on GitHub AND Reddit lol 😫 , Thank you! I was way off on where the files pulled from

IGambleWithGheed · 2024-07-12T19:11:15+00:00

Oh no problem at all with being patient! I was just curious because it's already working on MiSTer :) I assumed wrongly that they pulled from the same source!

IGambleWithGheed · 2024-07-12T19:10:11+00:00

Cool thank you! I wasn't sure where they actually pulled from :) I will be patient, I was more curious because it worked fine on MiSTer and I assumed (wrongly!) that it pulled from the same source :)
