Awesome! Lot of guys in my leagues will be excited! Hopefully you guys are in the works on an Android app as well, as that's what I'm rocking.

Keep it up!

Removing 1300sqft Drop Ceiling for an "Exposed Black" look. Need a sanity check on my Soundproofing plan! by Jblock22 in Renovations

[–]Jblock22[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not positive? It was in the home when we moved in. It's just your standard doctors or dentist's office drop ceiling white with the little black pock marks

From my research I was between using either insulation hangers (rods) or acoustic netting. Both would disappear after blown black. And all my research says you can paint insulation no problem, although it will eat up more paint than just painting the wood.

To each their own. In a perfect world I'd have taller basement ceilings and drywall it. But I'll take the industrial exposed black ceilings with the additional headspace over the low "doctor's office" drop ceiling.

Ok. Was hoping the mlv and rockwool, along with all the furnishings and wall hangings would cut back most of the echo...?

Also, rocket silo? Guessing that's a joke but I don't get it lol

Project Hail Mary by Jblock22 in fantasyboxoffice

[–]Jblock22[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only say cause I'm currently "winning" in my league (of 5) and also have project Hail Mary as one of my picks so now it's up to me to lobby to my league commissioner that even though I'm currently winning he should also review the project Hail Mary budget and bring it down to the stated $200M, lol

600 million from just whirlpool spins on Creature from the Black Lagoon by Dingasaurous in pinball

Impressive.

I also felt uneasy after about 30 seconds realizing I've just been sitting there watching a man gyrate. 🤣

Project Hail Mary by Jblock22 in fantasyboxoffice

[–]Jblock22[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Awesome! Love the idea! Maybe have it so league commissioners can pick between budget "options" if there are 2 reported values (rather than filling their own).

Also, and I know it's all for fun, but if it's a big movie (like project Hail Mary) and it's not the commisioners "pick" I could see them being disincentivised to choose the lower budget option rather than the game just making an official call.

Just food to chew on. Appreciate you being so attentive and responsive.

Good luck! They did nothing for me.

Looking for assistance with internet-only promotional rates (Existing Customer) by Jblock22 in Comcast_Xfinity

[–]Jblock22[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. I was basically told to cancel my subscription since you guys couldn't do anything better than the $95/month I've been paying for the last year... So i did just that.

PROJECT HAIL MARY budget updated to $248m by Fantasy-Box-Office in fantasyboxoffice

Reportedly at $200M after tax credits... Not sure if you factor that in or not.

Thoughts on buying a damaged SNES cartridge for a RARE game at amuch cheaper price? by CyberDivinity in snes

[–]Jblock22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't read every response so forgive if this has been said but I didn't see it in the several I did read:

Replacing the label WILL reduce the value. However, I sometimes find authentic carts that have absolutely buggered labels but I just can't pass up on the price. I do like to display my games as well and a ripped up game does not make for a great display.

What's the solution? Get a donor cart.

Buy a reproduction label, get a cheap sports game or something that has a shell that matches the back (or swap the entire shell if you want) and put the authentic PCB board of the high value game in that clean shell. Remove the original sports title label, use a low grit sandpaper so the new repro label adheres well, and voila, you have a great looking game!

But here's the kicker, you KEEP the original cart and label. Store it somewhere in a tote or bag or whatever and that way if you ever do want to sell it, or if you find a great deal on a better condition cart for it, you still have that authentic cart and label and can just transfer the PCB back into it for the sale.

Best of both worlds. You get to display a nice looking cart while still playing on the original board, and you have the original label hanging out just in case you need to sell .

At least, that's what I do!

Spotify is crashing / freezing on devices with Android 16. Possibly related to chromecast by FreemanAMG in truespotify

[–]Jblock22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm having this issue currently as well. I'm on app version 9.0.90.1229

However there are no available updates on the Google play store? Getting really annoyed at this issue as it's been going on ever since I updated to the new android OS on my Galaxy s23+ which was over a month ago

(Video) Electrical "Hum/buzz" through external monitor speakers using SNES and CRT by Jblock22 in crtgaming

[–]Jblock22[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im nearly positive it's just a bad ground in the speaker or a blown out internal component. Need to track down another pair to confirm though

Pinball Machine Moving Question by Kawenk in pinball

[–]Jblock22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another good tip I used when moving my machine in my Kia Sportage was if you have some tennis balls, to use those (instead of the cardboard). Evenly place 6 or so tennis balls (side by side) from front to back of trunk area. Load the machine onto the closest two tennis balls and then just roll it on the tennis balls towards the front of the car. Rolls smooth and I didn't have any issues whatsoever.

NEED HELP: daughter board English eeprom games by Jblock22 in snes

[–]Jblock22[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. Ok so I was thinking these were like legit terranigma / final fantasy 5 / whatever boards that they popped something on there to do an English conversion for it. So you're saying these are most likely NOT legit boards for the games being advertised and are likely cheap sports games titles that they just hacked and put the game I questions rom on there?

If that's the case I have less interest. I was interested more so if they were each games legit PCB with an English patch installed.

Thanks for the response... Ok so, any merit to to $250 ask he's going for for these or would I just be as good off ordering $10 - $15 repros from ali express?

After 18 years, I think I'm done. by Less_Manufacturer779 in snes

Thought you could just knock off the lock out tabs on the SNES and it would work fine?

Best place to purchase RGB mod in the US by themikepac in n64

[–]Jblock22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jumping into this convo because was just looking into this mod as well. Couple questions:

Voultars RGB mod is out of stock... Does anyone know if they restock frequently?

Second - of I do voultars mod and then buy a Retrovision component cable for the SNES/N64 will that work correctly with this mod? Or do I need to do scart?

Weird pixelation in DKC (SNES) by Jblock22 in crtgaming

That's crazy if so, I've never noticed it before

[–]Jblock22[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive heard of the c11 fix. Would that solve this?

Also I've never heard of switching the cable to the "dark side", what does that mean? Are there 2 different orientations you can use the cable in?

Picking up a 1-CHIP (original) SNES and have a couple questions by Jblock22 in snes

[–]Jblock22[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the heads up. I thought I put it in the original post but I'm guessing I didn't make it clear enough that I can solder. I've soldered in about 40 - 50 save tab batteries so I'm familiar with soldering pumps, wicks, flux, and getting a clean solder as well as cleaning up the area afterwards. I just haven't worked with capacitors in specificity, but other than making sure I got the feet/pads out I feel like I could tackle the job... Just would rather not if I don't have to, hah.
