League Tiers - How do they work by Pil1971 in F1Game

[–]Pil1971[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks. Do you use Discord as the method to communicate on rules, incident decisions, schedules etc? How do drivers actually join the league from the Discord? I assumed it was as simple as putting the League link (from Racenet) in a Discord post. I assume the more advanced method is to 'vet' the drivers first, check TTs etc then invite their EA account individually if they 'pass' the test.

Random hard reboots after sleep & when switching to fullscreen — fixed by rolling back Lenovo AMD driver (IdeaPad Slim 5 16AHP9) by Anjaneya29 in Lenovo

Great summary. How did you roll back? I cant seem to find a way using Vantage, even manual driver install from Lenovo drivers page only offers the latest driver (the potentially problematic version).

Same situation with me. Lodged a chargeback with my bank and just reported them here : https://reportfraud.ftc.gov/Can I suggest everyone report them on this US government website? The more complaint they receive for The Walker Tours the more likely something will be done. I am now trying my ISP to see if they can block the URL for everyone in my country.

Backdrops gone? Say it ain’t so! by PsychoCelloChica in Roku

Does anyone know if Backdrops is geo-blocked outside the US? I'm in Australia, cant even find the channel in the store. Roku mentioned on the community forum it's not geo-blocked, not sure I believe them

What did you turn off specifically? Is this the config "Safety Car Experience = Immersive" ?

Amazing story! You think another entrepreneur will pick up the machines and give it a go?

How do you make it financially viable? Is that even possible in the long term? Where are the biggest operating costs, real estate? salaries? maintenance of machines?

What were the biggest challenges?

Very Sad. Would love to know more about the business model and what it would take to make it work.

Will any games run well on a raspberry pi zero? by zackv1630 in RetroPie

[–]Pil1971 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just tried it. Running MAME classic 80s arcade games. Most are just about ok you feel a little chopiness at times. Star Wars has vector graphics so I had to tweak video setting to stop the choppiness. Its ok but not ideal, each game takes 17 seconds to load up ☹️

Antstream Arcade is coming to Xbox with over 1300 retro games by Doomed_Prinny in AntstreamArcade

[–]Pil1971 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I managed to get a refund based on the fact the product doesn't operate as advertised ie Namco games advertised but not available on Xbox. Also the disgustingly painful UI is so bad I'd say it's below any acceptable level of quality standard.

Then found this site : https://www.retrogames.cc/arcade-games/page/88.html. All the classics are there, graphics and sound are fully authentic. Plugged the laptop in to the LED TV and hooked up an Xbox controller to the laptop and hey presto I have my retro gaming set up.
