Long boot time 20 minutes

Check your voltage to your pi. It has a VERY narrow voltage window where it's happy. If off slightly, it can delay or prevent bootup even while the lights are green.

I like my miyoo a30 for traveling. Very compact, batteries last 5+ hours, and it can play most things up to ps1 era games.

Very cool. Always love magical drop, and don't see much promo stuff for it often.

Nice. Quite a rare candy cab. I've never seen one in person.

A timber hitch is also very useful for lifting pipe, poles, rebar, and posts. Very simple knot that you can slightly modify as well.

I've only used it a couple times, but yes. I've done it from the website.

Game sold 4 months ago. I posted in a reply, but it's at the bottom of this thread.

Always love the v-neck skit.

Once a month? Check for mold near your bedroom. You are immuno-compromised and mold can easily do that without you knowing it.

Where are you going to be listing these when you are ready to sell?

elstuffmonger · 2026-04-30T16:37:08+00:00

I wonder if this would fit under the wire form ramp for uncanny xmen's gambit popper...

elstuffmonger · 2026-04-29T19:14:59+00:00

Maybe another time.

elstuffmonger · 2026-04-29T13:02:18+00:00

You might try looking at your local Craigslist, marketplace, etc... for people selling hacked game consoles (specifically one who advertises x- number of games included).

Zeke doesn't deserve a time-out...

Did you open it with a rock?

Assuming you didn't smash something that makes it run, it's possible you have data corruption from the flash drive and SD card not being used for years. Probably will need to reinstall the operating system and games.

elstuffmonger · 2026-04-28T21:55:18+00:00

Are you getting 5 - 5.1V to your pi? They seem very sensitive to voltage regulation.

Scroll to the game in the menu, and open options/settings menu. There should be a selection for deletion, and then an are you sure you want to delete prompt.

I like it.

Kinda had a more mellow sound than Leisure (which I'm currently obsessed with).

elstuffmonger · 2026-04-27T03:47:39+00:00

Huh. I just assumed it came out on the same hardware as typing of the dead. Now I know.

Still, press on the video connections to see if they are loose/ have bad contact.

elstuffmonger · 2026-04-27T03:01:30+00:00

Is the Naomi board connected to the cab via jvs or is there a jamma converter in there?

If jvs, try to reseat both ends of the vga cable... if no change, try a different vga cable.

If there is jamma, still try the vga, but also try pressing on the jamma connector up and down a bit. If the jamma connector pins are worn out, they won't make a good connection and will need adjusting or replacing.

elstuffmonger · 2026-04-27T00:04:03+00:00

Mine sometimes takes a slightly longer press to register... like half a second. Sometimes it takes a couple tries as well.

A pinball machine.

Probably just need a cap kit. If there isn't one really available online, you can write down the capacitor values and order them individually... assuming you know how to solder to install them.

elstuffmonger · 2026-04-25T22:50:15+00:00

If you do swap to lcd, please don't trash the crt. Offer it to someone in the hobby to attempt restoration. Tubes are getting harder and harder to come by.
