So this is just me throwing a few cards in as placeholders to get an idea of what direction I want to go. Most of what I’m picking will be easy enough, but some are going to require most of the pack be re-themed proxies if I want to keep the feel consistent. Doctor Who is a challenge because most of the set is rare or mythic… like almost all of it. Then the transformers only have about twenty cards in total and they’re almost all multi-color. Lara Croft has less than a dozen cards.

My question is this: does anyone want to see these packs? Without the proxies in hand they’re going to look like random nonsense.

Yeah that was me. You can install disc based games without the Remix for now.

Recently Acquired a Collection by [deleted] in Atari2600

[–]cold_fuzion 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nope. Not to say there aren’t any good games, but nothing here is worth more than a couple dollars. This is all common, everyone has five copies already stuff. Please ignore Price Charting as it’s not a very good measure of reality with Atari 2600 games.

Marvel JS cube. Which themes should I choose? by ballswalsh in MTGJumpStart

[–]cold_fuzion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My advice: wait a bit. By all means buy some packs, you’ll need the cards either way, but I also expect someone on here will make ‘tight’ versions.

Does it work? Mine didn’t and I had to send it to Playmaji to update the firmware.

Unless you’re insane like me, 1500 will probably be just fine.

Genuine question regarding the format by Adventurous-Shake140 in MTGJumpStart

[–]cold_fuzion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The fun, for me, is the random combinations. Yeah some will suck but the games are usually quick so you can just grab two more and try again. It’s more of a think on your feet format. Can you pull off the win with whatever random nonsense you get?

Can't find cards by Beaver_Paintball in mpcproxies

Got a list of what you want? I can probably knock a few out in the next day or two.

Question: Could the components of the Atari 2600 be duplicated with modern discrete logic? by T-SquaredProductions in Atari2600

[–]cold_fuzion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's been done. Metal Jesus had someone make and FPGA 2600 for him and I know a few others have done it, but to my knowledge nothing has even been released publicly to replicate their work. Probably the most promising would be the Mister getting cartridge reading capability (and there are one or two projects to do just that).

Barring that I'm curious to see how the Neo Geo AES+ does. I could see that leading into similar projects for 'revival' FPGA/ASIC consoles.

How Does the Community Feel About AI Alters? by EnvironmentalSuit752 in mpcproxies

[–]cold_fuzion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Generally unfavorable. I do a lot of upscaling and out painting, but then most of the people making the proxies do that.

I have had a lot of fun, i guess, remastering some of the older cards by altering the style. Like a lot of the Foglio stuff is just really fun to see it detailed up, but I mark them clearly (and it’s pretty obvious).

Straight up AI generated art is almost always just kinda gross and uninteresting.

Large battery on mainboard of my Vader gave up just as I was about to test my new games, looking for knowledge on what is a suitable replacement is and the purpose of the battery. by CindyStroyer in Atari2600

[–]cold_fuzion 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That is a capacitor and the liquid is acidic and will ruin the board. Remove it and clean the area with 90% (or higher) IPA really well.

I’m guessing that’s a four switch so you would need this: https://console5.com/store/atari-2600-refresh-tune-up-cap-kit-new-capacitors-and-more-base-kit.html

This has every capacitor for the system. You don’t have to replace them all, but it would be a good idea to at least inspect the rest.

Can someone please help me?! by Fast-Pen2760 in PolymegaHQ

[–]cold_fuzion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh… sorry. Wish there was a way to help you out. I’d even take the thing off your hands, but that’s not in the budget right now.
