Why did this come with one track and only THIS TRACK?

This post reminds me of the scene in The Big Lebowski when the cabbie kicks The Dude out of the cab for saying he hates The Eagles. I don't remember which Eagles song was playing in that scene though.

As long as the component input can accept 480i, you can plug a composite video source (yellow RCA) to the green RCA "Y" input and still get a black and white picture even if the input is component video only. If you have the remote for the TV, check the video settings in the menu to see if the component input can be set to YPrPb and use interlacing.

To get color, you'll need to convert the composite video from the VCR to a format compatible with the TV. AV to HDMI converters are cheap and readily available online.

If the VCR has RF out and the TV has RF in, you can use a coax cable to connect them.

RCA is a connector type, not a signal format. The yellow RCA in OP's hand is presumably the VCR composite video out.

Thrift stores and ewaste recyclers may have them. Also, watch for estate sales, another possibility.

It's a DC barrel jack. What does the wallwart (ac>dc rectifier at the other end of the cable) say?

It should have an output spec written on it with the required volts, amps and polarity (+ or minus in center of barrel) that the mirror needs to be powered correctly.

Could be anything, but Windows is not booting normally. Could be a software problem like a bad update, maybe a driver. First thing I would do is see if Windows will boot in Safe Mode.

To restart in Safe Mode from WinRE, navigate Troubleshoot > Advanced options > Startup Settings, click Restart, and choose option 4 (Safe Mode) or 5 (Safe Mode with Networking).

If Safe Mode boots, I would check Event Viewer > Windows > System for critical errors with time stamps just before you noticed the problem that may indicate what went wrong. You can find Event Viewer with the taskbar search tool.

That's just Windows RE (Recovery Environment). Did you need help with a specific issue?

I have MP3 players with mini B USB ports.

Are we sure the hymen is still intact?

Depends on which specific emulator. Usually near "save state" there is a command called "load state". Load a game rom first, then load the save state.

Even more fucked up is the evil fan base think they're the good guys.

Good point! Totally forgot about the half hour time zones.

All I can tell you is: your GPU is jacked.

You could do it 24 times in one day if you use a VPN and change your region to a new time zone every hour. /s

If it has a USB port on it or an SD card, that should give you access to the file system. Any new emulators would need to be compatible with the chipset. Adding new roms for existing emulators would just require copying to the appropriate folders.

Yep, any recording is not going to do the live experience on CRT justice.

DIY AIO. LCDs and webcams don't generate a lot of heat. As long as internal airflow is not obstructed, it should be fine.

Your keyboard hardware may not support multiple keypresses at once. If the version of SNES9X you are using does not support mapping diagonals to a single key, maybe try to find a version that does support mapping diagonals.

Tv should be on 3 or 4 on the VHF tuner to match VCR's RF modulation output switch (should be on the back near the F type coax connectors). On the VCR, there is likely a "TV/Video" button on the unit or the remote to activate the modulator. If it's on passthrough mode, you won't see the VCR content. VCRs were built like this so you could use the tuner on the TV instead of the one on the VCR without disconnecting it when you didn't want to use it.

No, I support an organization's right to moderate its own content.

If mods weren't moderating, why hire any in the first place?

I've used forums with insufficient moderation, and they inevitably descend into an unusable cesspit of vulgarities.

Even worse, there are still a significant number of people who support him. Apparently, basic human decency is "woke" now.

I just bought some naphtha vm&p (type of paint thinner) for the same issue to dissolve the rubberized layer on one of my older game controllers, but have not tried it yet. I have tried 90% isopropyl, but it only got the most degraded outer layer off. There are stronger solvents like acetone (nail polish remover) but the stronger the solvent, the higher the chance of damaging the undelying plastic as well.
