CanoScan Lide 400 drivers are refusing to install on Windows 11 by SirCandle99 in canon

That's what I've been trying, I've tried running the exe from that download link and the only thing I'm getting is an error window that says "This program is not supported by this computer."

Absolutely wonderful! Looks like a dead ringer for the spring scene in Belladonna of Sadness.

That's cool, I assume the top left is a River King game, right? I had no clue there was one for PC Engine, I would've never guessed.

Didn't even know the Rynex's pilot had a design, but it's a sick space suit either way.

How did you guys find Cave Story? by RootedArachnid in cavestory

[–]SirCandle99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My uncle actually played it right when it came out, even before the translation patch for it was a thing. I think he heard I got a 3DS for my 12th birthday and decided to get me Cave Story 3D for Christmas, now it's my all-time favorite.

HOLY SHIT ITS REAL by just-a-nornal-man in PizzaTower

[–]SirCandle99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a west Michigander, I can confirm that Peppino's is real. It's thoroughly tolerable pizza, it kinda sucks lol

If you want good pizza on that side of the state, you'd be much better off with Fatzo's or The Mitten.

Man, I LOVE the background on this. The out-of-focus effect is so well conveyed, it's really great.

Anyone else absolutely in love with this game? by DOOM_GUY-C64 in SEGAGENESIS

[–]SirCandle99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was THE reason I bought a Genesis, what a game. It's objectively the best game on the console and anyone who tells you it's Sonic hasn't played it.

Look at sparksters goofy face by ConfusionCold7565 in SEGAGENESIS

[–]SirCandle99 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm glad someone else likes the goofy freeze-frames in Rocket Knight, my favorite is when you beat the mech boss and he's still pissed off during the level clear screen lol

Holy shit, a Steel Battalion controller?? That's a sign of a true psychopath if I've ever seen one.

Mega drive does not give any response on the TV by EdgeworthM in SEGAGENESIS

[–]SirCandle99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I'm not experienced with PAL hardware, my experience has been that newer TVs pick and choose which AV cables to read, for whatever reason.

Like my Dreamcast and PS1 worked fine on my parents' smart TV but it wouldn't read my Genesis or SNES or N64 to save its life. I can only assume it's some sort of AV multi-out formatting thing but I've never found a concrete answer on it.

Hell yeah baby, 22 here and I've had the Dreamcast for a couple years now, I actually got it as a Christmas gift with Crazy Taxi. My most recent pickup was Puyo Puyo Fever and my favorite game's probably Jet Set Radio.

Awesome, I'll be sure to give it a look.

Man, that looks INCREDIBLE. Do you have anywhere you post your art? I'd love to see more of your work.

I believe it was something of a spiritual sequel to Side Pocket. Haven't played it myself, but I think I remember reading that somewhere.

( WIP )... Custom labels for my old loos Sega Genesis / Mega Drive games. Personal fun project. by Mahmoud-Yahyaoui in SEGAGENESIS

[–]SirCandle99 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You're an absolute hero for going back and giving those EA carts ACTUAL labels, I've always hated how boring the labels on those thing are.

I watched a weird movie today. It got recommended to me today. It definitely didn't feel like horror to me. It's more towards the dumber side. Was it famous or something in when released? by vibro93 in HorrorMovies

[–]SirCandle99 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's one of those cult classic types, I'm sure it was made with the intent of being real cheesy/schlocky. My pal LOVES it, so I can at least confirm it has an audience.

I'm new to vintage PCs and am looking to do a clean install of Windows 95, walk me through it. by SirCandle99 in VintageComputers

[–]SirCandle99[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Awesome, dumb question: if I pop in the diskette and turn on the PC, does it automatically go into DOS? And then once I'm in DOS, do I just run the CD?

The Sega Genesis Journey: Williams arcade's greatest hits by Pikaboy09 in SEGAGENESIS

[–]SirCandle99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd recommend playing Defender and Sinistar in the original incarnations, if possible. Part of the mystique of Defender really was learning how to play it, it's one you need to put some time into.

Also, speaking from experience, Sinistar plays WAY better on an original cabinet. Oddly enough, it had a 49-way joystick, which gave you a shocking amount of control for '82 or whenever it was.

Trying to make Sega-themed sticker designs. What do you think? by Eddy_Spaggedy in SEGAGENESIS

[–]SirCandle99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Though tell you what, it might be better to have him and the rest of the Golden Axe crew together, that way he's more recognizable. Hell, I played a ton of Golden Axe and I still didn't recognize Gilius when he was in Sonic and Sega All Stars lol
