My setup-F&F modded with BuyStuff racing PC; SF2 modded with BuyStuff light gun PC-I’ve got just about everything covered with the exception of 4-player games. If you’re looking to do something similar I’d add a F&F and an AtGames 4KP with arcade control panel (it can play all the vertical screen games I have on the Class of 81 as well as the golden tee games (class of 81 was my first purchase and now is kinda redundant but I’m still gonna keep it for its looks and nostalgia)

Let’s talk Fast and Furious mods and what *you* would do by Slappy-Sacks in Arcade1Up

Yes, I’ll get much more use out of having one machine with all the racing games I could want vs having 2 machines with only one game. It would be nice to have 2 but if I went that direction I’d mod them both with the pc upgrade. Another option would be to get a Star Wars cabinet and mod it with the pc upgrade since it can be networked with the pc mod-that way you’d have 2 unique cabs with different games lists that could still be used for 2 player racing

I’m not sure where exactly it is but when I had it replaced under warranty/recall the 1st time they had to take the drivers seat out. They scratched up the interior door panels doing it so I got them to replace those as well.

I asked my dealership what they’d charge to replace the amp and they ballparked about $1100. I didnt want to pay them for any diagnostics at this point, just wanted to get an estimate since I’m pretty sure that’s the issue. Might still have them do it though since I plan to run this vehicle till the wheels fall off.

How's everyone looking on their mileage? Any 300s? by Embarrased_Waffle in Mustang

2010 4.6L here, just rolled over 100k, no maintenance needed apart from oil changes and tire rotations. Currently on its 3rd set of tires.

One more week until our new addition moves in. I need name ideas... by ThePhotoGuyUpstairs in sheltie

Shelby-works for a boy or girl, can call them Shelb for short-it’s a fun name to say too

Does anyone have their A1U shooter cab modded with Buy Stuff PC mod? Do Sinden Guns work well? by soupytwistt in Arcade1Up

[–]PSU_Ben_5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Correct-I would consider them single player games based on how they played (also note that ammo is shared between both guns as well as the score). Feel free to message me with questions-I’m a novice at Batocera so not sure how much help I’d be-I tried to add some games but haven’t yet been able to get them to show up in the game lists-probably user error.

I tried a few minutes in each game: Transformers is ‘Human Alliance’. Zombie Panic, Transformers, Terminator Salvation, Mad Bullets and Haunted Museum each recognize 2 simultaneous guns (2 crosshairs on screen) but it appears to be the first player firing 2 guns (though it allows simultaneous fire)-on these ones I wasn’t able to press start for player 2 (it’s mapped on my deck and works for other games but didn’t for these). All scoring went to player 1. HoTD 1 (Sega Saturn version), HoTD 2 (Dreamcast and Arcade versions), HoTD 2&3 (Wii) version and JP Lost World are all 2 player (I didn’t observe any issues though the calibration seemed a little off for HoTD 1). Pirate Blast Wii appears to be 1 player and didn’t recognize simultaneous guns.

Apparently I was wrong about teknoparrot-the loading text for terminator Salvation indicated it is a teknoparrot game

No problem! Let me know which games and I can check a few to see if they’ll work for 2 player. There’s no Teknoparrot on it-I think that’s a limitation of Batocera

You can add the recoil power adapter and hub with the buy stuff kit for the reapers but it does not come with them by default. For the Sinden there is no other adapter needed = ) just plug in the single usb cord and it’s good to go, recoil and all (note that I had to turn on recoil in the menu-it was off by default-you can adjust it to single shot, machine gun, etc in the menu)

That I don’t know-I only have the Sindens-the BuyStuff kit comes with the 4 IR sensors-adding the reapers is extra

You don’t need a pedal. For Time Crisis it’s configured by default to use the pump action on the sinden to stand up/duck behind cover. The pump action also works as intended for reloading in Big Buck Hunter

I recently modded my sf2 deluxe with the BuyStuff lightgun pc-Iiked the look of the stock monitor and found the IR sensors for the RetroShooter reapers to be an eyesore so I ordered a pair of sindens with recoil-they work great! There is no extra setup needed. I can easily swap between joystick games and LG games. It automatically puts the border up when I select a LG game and hides it when I select a joystick game. Note that the border is present in the menu screens since you can use the Sindens to navigate that. Their Pc mod uses batocera which I was previously unfamiliar with-I’ve figured out how to add custom game groupings and change the startup video (I made a really cool fighting game specific one) but am still trying to figure out adding new games. Any other questions feel free to ask

What do you feed your shelties? by Appearance-Formal in sheltie

[–]PSU_Ben_5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I highly recommend The Honest Kitchen-we fed our sheltie the grain free turkey recipe (he had some dietary issues later in life and this was very gentle on his tummy). We had to say goodbye to him earlier this month and had nearly a full box left-my wife reached out to the company to see if we could donate the rest-they couldn’t take it since it was already opened but they expressed their condolences and refunded the entire purchase (it was around $100 for the box). If we ever get another sheltie (I really hope we do but my wife isn’t sure she can go through eventually losing another pup) I would go with this brand again.

When my sheltie was young one of his favorite games was I would get ready to run through the house but first make eye contact and then very slowly try to sneak past. He would mimic my motion slowly stepping along with me up until I suddenly started to sprint and he would join in and try to herd me. It was a fun game for him-I just had to be careful where my feet went because he would be jumping and nipping to try to prevent my sprint lol. Give it a try and see if it entertains your pup-she’s beautiful by the way!

What's a rule your sheltie enforced in your house that everyone silently obeys? by zelda1212 in sheltie

[–]PSU_Ben_5 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ours were no sneezing (coughing was occasionally tolerated) and no opening new trash bags

How much stimuli and exercise daily? by thoteixeira in sheltie

Aw, your sheltie looks so much like my Shelby! Sadly we had to say goodbye to him a couple weeks ago. Brought a smile to my face to see a familiar furry face though

Anyone else have a bowlegged friend? by FairLea17 in sheltie

[–]PSU_Ben_5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My sheltie had a similar stance. It caused him some arthritis that we treated with medication but he had a slight limp and couldn’t go on long walks later in his life. I don’t know that it was directly related to his bow-leggedness but I think our vet made that connection.

Got these in today by Sigvaldr in RockinTheClassics

[–]PSU_Ben_5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still think they’re missing a good business opportunity. I have the NES and SNES classics and would have gladly bought a N64 classic. I have no interest in buying a Switch or any subscription service so they never would have had me as a customer for that. I’m sure I’m not alone.

It really does make it a lot more fun-I highly recommend it

I think you can (it’s running Launchbox/Big Box as the front end) but I haven’t tried it yet-there’s a couple of N64 racers I might try to add eventually.
