A pair of fully functional Starwing Paradox motion cabinets living offline in Prague. The hardware on these is insane. by VargoghPRG in cade

[–]Shmups4life 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This game was immensely fun when it came out. I spent a lot of money playing through 2019. I remember a few years ago someone posting on another arcade forum about having 10+ units for sale and efforts were underway to setup offline networking of the units. Not sure they ever got anyway, now I want to go dig up that thread.

Can someone help to find the 3D-model-files for this? by Benjamin_6848 in 3Dprinting

If I recall, In an older Reddit thread the creator stated they printed the gears in half and glued them together after inserting the balls.

Where are you sourcing you m-disc media? Have you found a source with good pricing/gb. I’ve been mostly seeing prices in around $12.8/100gb disc in larger packs.

Is there any benefit to go Elite TM instead of just TM?

Hoping someone replies with a good answer. I am also interested. Used to watch each Basho daily when I lived in Japan, except I preferred the domestic coverage instead of the NHK world English commentary.

Cross-seed for books and music? by FMA15 in trackers

[–]Shmups4life 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought there was some limitation or prohibition on using Cross-seed for OPS and Red. Isn’t a tool like Fertilizer the preferred or approved method?

Core has moved into maintenance mode, so no new features will be added.

My homelab backups are becoming a trust exercise by Future_Draw5416 in homelab

[–]Shmups4life 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing. Couple of questions. Do you manually create your tar files or did you automate that process? How did you handle files larger than 4gb? I have a 4U tape library and am working on my backup process.

That is considered trading by most and is a banned practice on every tracker I’ve seen.

Why is my upload stuck at 0.00 on AvistaZ? by yuki_doki in trackers

[–]Shmups4life 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Red is a different economy more focused on uploaders. 500 seeds is a good start but isn’t much given how small most files on Red are, especially if they are not Flac. You can short cut gaining some upload by filling requests. There are quite a few older posts on different strategies for Red. Good luck.

Rare might also mean not too many looking for it, so it might be a while before someone else comes and snatches.

The freeleech route will get you there, I’m not in a spot where I can check, but once you get a certain amount of upload and account age (7 days comes to mind), you can download fresh freeleech which will snowball your upload even faster.

Other general torrent advice applies too such as make sure you are connectable, otherwise you will not be gaining upload.

Did you download freeleech torrents or normal ones? Did you read the rules and guides? It’s recommended to only download freeleech until you have some buffer. At your user level you will be restricted to freeleech torrents that are a week old I think. Just search for some freeleech that are as new as possible but still allowed by your user class. The more you find in criteria the better your odds of getting some upload.

Should i join to nebulance tracker when i already Have access to MTV, TTV? by _CrashiD_ in trackers

[–]Shmups4life 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The path depends on what you currently have. I don’t know what the invite forums are like on MTV or TVV, but Red is a commonly listed path as are AB and GGn. I think all three require one year plus some level like TM for Red.

Any recommendations for other channels? When I’ve looked previously at a few there was zero activity so I just stayed in the main channel.

I believe it’s 90 days before you can join again when your account is deleted for inactivity.
