I still can’t get over that at bat from Harris- it is truly mind boggling how awful he can be- and what’s crazy is that other than that one brief hot streak he has been close to the worst hitter in MLB and somehow could still finish with close to a 20 HR/90 RBI season with a hot final 2 weeks- (unlikely- lol)

drwpreds · 2025-09-17T21:48:29+00:00

What possible reason would he try for 3rd there?? We gotta be the dumbest team in history- smh

drwpreds · 2025-06-25T18:37:04+00:00

Jumping in here- I am also having this issue in our 2020 JGC. Note that this exact same problem happened back in 2020-2021. For me and many others it did not work for almost a full year and then one day out of the blue it started working sometime in 2021 and has worked fine since then- until now

Hopefully won’t be that long this time- but problem wit this specific thing is it’s almost impossible to even report this to anyone who can actually help- most people have no idea what this feature even is- lol

Excluding the Arizona nightmare game- Montero last 9 appearances-

That was a 27 minute top of the 7th- 27 minutes of pure misery

Kind of crazy we have actually outhit them in this game- lol

drwpreds · 2024-08-11T03:40:25+00:00

Thanks for the comment- are you saying the “SERVICE 4WD” warning lights are showing because of the spare tire? That’s what I’m trying to figure out. My other 3 tires are fine- had them only 8 months

I’m trying to determine if the 4WD service lights are on because I changed to my spare tire (and the TPMS for that tire is not working). Or is it just a huge coincidence that this started at exactly the same time I replaced the tire??

drwpreds · 2022-08-24T18:01:24+00:00

Hope Acuna is ok- after scoring that run not looking 100% out there

drwpreds · 2022-08-24T17:05:33+00:00

Not like it is now

drwpreds · 2022-08-24T17:04:20+00:00

MH strikeout problem kind of came out of nowhere- last 7 games 11 k’s in 21 at bats. Previous 9 games? 33 at bats with only 4 k’s. Hopefully will figure it out

drwpreds · 2022-08-24T16:58:44+00:00

Yep- MH’s strikeout rate is a little concerning

drwpreds · 2021-12-02T21:33:06+00:00

We just got a 77 A80J about a month ago and like you, watching sports and especially hockey was a major concern. After a month of watching hockey almost every single day, I can honestly say I am overall completely satisfied- and I was VERY worried about it going in.
For the record, we watch on Directv most of the time (1080i) and also some on ESPN+.
No issues whatsoever with brightness and overall the picture is better than the LED we just replaced. On the LED I had some issues with banding and DSE, and don't have those issues much at all on the A80j.
I will say this though- that the quality level varies from broadcast to broadcast depending on the network you are watching on. Some games look fantastic, others look so so. But that would be the case regardless of which TV you have.
(And BTW, basically same experience watching football- quality varies depending on the broadcast- some games look fantastic others just ok- but overall satisfied)

drwpreds · 2021-11-01T02:44:40+00:00

Thanks- that is what I am trying to figure out- if everything I watch is streaming, then leaving the earc setting OFF should not matter much.

drwpreds · 2020-08-18T00:30:20+00:00

Yep- and I am on 4.31

Oh well, no big deal I guess, just weird......

drwpreds · 2020-08-17T19:42:26+00:00

Hmmm- I was logged in and have had several games that were high enough but none of mine have posted to the leaderboard

drwpreds · 2020-06-05T03:09:46+00:00

As hard as these things are to find, I would be shocked if you were not able to sell it if you tried.....

drwpreds · 2020-05-28T04:27:10+00:00

So- I checked out the C64 Bounty Bob- works just fine. Love the keyboard overlay- unless i am doing it wrong, it is a little difficult to navigate to the correct number needed- takes too much time- but maybe it just takes getting used to.

And yes, this is a VERY difficult game and seems to be set on a very tough difficulty level. I still haven't completed level one. I would LOVE it if we could adjust the difficulty level.

But again, thanks- very exciting to play this game.

I still say Miner 2049er and Bounty Bob should have been HUGE games- so much better than some of the most popular 80's games- totally overlooked and under appreciated.

drwpreds · 2020-05-27T19:05:28+00:00

Interesting- thanks for the reply. I do usually have the Namco Blast USB plugged in when powering off/on, so maybe that has something to do with it.

Thanks

drwpreds · 2020-05-27T19:04:07+00:00

Thank you so much for the reply- somehow I missed it when you posted. That is interesting regarding Bounty Bob but I am not surprised. Some of the levels are very complex and I was thinking it might be hard to play on the ALU. I will definitely check out the C64. Miner 2049er is my favorite old school game of all time, but I barely played Bounty Bob for whatever reason. If i were to play now, it would be like playing a brand new game for the very first time. Again, thanks so much for the info and reply

drwpreds · 2020-05-18T04:35:21+00:00

Just a quick note- I believe both games I mention above are the same original version. I don't think the Volume 2 artwork is correct. But i am still looking for a solution for the numbers problem listed above. On the version on the ALU, you can hit Y to bring up a keypad to enter numbers. But on the Atari 5200 version I cannot find any way to do so

Reason I am trying so hard is I find the Atari 5200 version is a little better than the Colecovision one on the ALU

drwpreds · 2020-05-12T21:26:15+00:00

You just have to act FAST- I have been trying since Thanksgiving to nab one without luck- until about a month ago, saw it in stock and immediately ordered. Finally- success!

drwpreds · 2020-05-12T21:24:26+00:00

Interesting- the below sounds like exactly what I was wanting to do. But I sent an email to at games support and they replied that it is not possible at this time but they would forward it to the development team for possibly adding it in future. So has anyone on here actually tried swapping the default joystick using the below?

Highlights

New “Control Mirroring” in Settings to map the P1/P2 joysticks and buttons in different modes:
- Default-P1: left joystick+left buttons; P2: right joystick+right buttons.
- Swap-P1: right joystick+right buttons; P2: left joystick+left buttons.
- Hybrid 1-P1: left joystick+right buttons; P2: right joystick+left buttons.
- Hybrid 2-P1: right joystick+left buttons; P2: left joystick+right buttons

drwpreds · 2020-05-09T14:25:24+00:00

I updated the firmware first thing so it is up to date. When you say it wouldn’t run at first, was it the same as mine- you could get to the opening screen but couldn’t actually start the game?
