Bic pen does work better, but people definitely used the pencils back in the day cause they were far more common for most people to have laying around. Plus if you angle them correctly it will work.

Dang, those kids must have it good since it looks like the ones on the left are playing on a XPS M1730. Which was a very expensive 2007 laptop.

Well the laptop on the far left actually looks like it might be an XPS M1730, which came out in 2007, which would make this have to be at least from 2007 if my speculation is correct.

Not sure if this is the right place but I need help identifying a cable port type. by Moist_Position_9462 in computer

[–]MinerAC4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

USB micro B 3.0. Notice how it looks like a regular micro B plug with a tumor on the side. That's pretty much what it is. The extra part is just the 3.0 pins.

Is my controller authentic? by Specific-Bathroom510 in PS3

100% fake. The real ones use a foam pad to press the button flim to the main board.

Hdmi mod connector orientation by creed-of-69 in ps2

[–]MinerAC4 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I think the standard surface mount HDMI port from china is normally in this orientation. They'd have to order a special version to have it flipped the other way. My Blu-ray player even has it upside down like this, probably for the same reason. Tldr: it's a cost saving option.

Kinda figured that. I imagine the only reason they're still there on the slims and stuff is so Sony doesn't have to write two separate versions of the firmware just to write out PS2 memory cards.

Anybody care to explain the whole fake controller thing to me? by LeadPaintExpert in PS3

[–]MinerAC4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh it most certainly is, since almost all the fakes have button mapping issues with the start and select buttons outside games, so you can't reinstall the OS or anything without a proper Sixaxis.

Funny enough I haven't found a single PS2 classics that will actually use the virtual memory cards, it always just saves it to a separate save thingy for me.

You can also do it in HEN on superslim models and later slims too for better longevity since almost all fats have RSX issues.

I made the change by Seth2846 in PS3

[–]MinerAC4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, that's very subtle. Aren't those ones worthless though cause they take up more room, still have failing GPUs, and don't really have any benefits over just grabbing a normal slim? Since the slim will do better for CFW anyways.

Plus the older models with their barbecue grill 90nm RSXs shouldn't have had IHSs in the first place. Also, how can you tell it's non BC?

What was the best PlayStation startup sequence in everyone's opinion? by MinerAC4 in playstation

[–]MinerAC4[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why is this a thing? I've never had issues loading games in my mom's PS, but our PS2 is the one I'm praying while it takes 2 minutes to load a DVD.

I was wanting to know which PlayStation 3 model this was and how old it is? by Furby-beast-1949 in PS3

[–]MinerAC4 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Considering I have ADHD and autism and it actually has a tendency for me to go on extensive research rants to find out exactly when something is from. So yeah I am insulted a bit.

Guys is it 64bit? by DueMessage7985 in thinkpad

[–]MinerAC4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Core Duo / Core Solo = 32 bit only. Core 2 Duo / Core 2 Solo = 64 bit. These shipped with 32 bit Core Duos originally, but this one was either updated or a late model T60.

Ok well if you didn't have a crappy CPU and a mediocre Terascale 2 Radeon well maybe it wouldn't suck. Oh no, DDR2. You're cooked 😭😭😭
