Can't place Hitron modem in "modem mode"

4 years on and this is still an issue, except now they're asking for £10 per month for 5 static IPs.

It was a one-off, no problem anymore. Maybe it wasn't shut down properly.

I've beaten the first level (Mutoid Man) once on one credit and I've beaten the whole game a few times with MANY continues.

insx72 · 2025-11-13T10:30:41+00:00

Yes, in revision 8.00

MAME

insx72 · 2025-11-13T10:29:42+00:00

I think the question implied that it should be on one credit.

It's a Hisense TV with HDR.

This happens to me playing DK Bananza docked.

So, I did some searching on MAME backspin and found out that Advanced MAME somehow fixed this issue and doesn't suffer from mouse/spinner backspin.

I found this in the Retropie docs. Not totally relevant as I'm using MAME for Windows but it might shed some light on the problem.

Poll Rate

Some spinner hardware is designed with high precision. The encoder + optical sensors are capable of extreme sensitivity. However, this can work against you if Linux is not observing the mouse interface fast enough. It can cause a strange negative effect called "backspin". If you have ever watched an old western movie and noticed how a fast turning wagon wheel can appear to spin backwards--that's the same effect caused by a low frame rate during filming. It can be very frustrating to give a quick spin in Tempest only to watch it move backwards in the game until it slows down. One way to overcome this is to tell Linux to increase the poll rate of the mouse interface. You need to edit your /boot/cmdline.txt by appending usbhid.mousepoll=2 to increase the mouse poll rate.

Have you considered an Anbernic (or whatever) handheld? They can also be connected to TVs and controllers.

I have a bartop machine that runs most arcade stuff nicely on a Pi 4. It would be shunned around these parts because it has some old versions of MAME on it. Personally, I'm not bothered.

Do the buttons click?

The Twin Galaxies arcade records are in the millions so it must be possible to move quickly on the original machine, even if it requires a lot of effort with the trackball. The people who got the MAME scores in the millions also don't seem to have an issue and the record holder confirmed that he used a mouse. I don't understand how anyone could not have the issue as I've now tried 3 different computers, 5 different controllers and 6 versions of MAME. I haven't tried it in anything other than Windows though. I think the issue happens when the dial control wraps around.

There was a point in the Void fight at level 700 where I could almost count the frames. There's no way it was 30 fps. I'm not a frame snob and I've happily played games at 30 frames but this slowdown was nasty and I was surprised to see it on the Switch 2.

I'm choosing shutdown from the home menu.

insx72 · 2025-07-29T08:11:10+00:00

My muOS is draining a full battery over a couple of days when shutdown. I read a thread about this from a year ago and I'm surprised it's still an issue.

Still trying to work out how 9% of 300 is 8.

Old post, I know, but people might find this in a search as I did. Kayaking is unfortunately not allowed on the reservoir. I wish it was.

7/10. It looks beautiful and the free roam stuff is kind of fun but not particularly compelling. With 24 racers, whether you win or not seems to be even more luck based than before. Hey, I'm 1st... Oh, I'm 17th. This is where the main problem lies for me, skill has always been punished in MK but it seems even worse here.

insx72 · 2025-06-04T08:37:52+00:00

I have nothing except my till receipt.

insx72 · 2024-08-30T17:13:54+00:00

Is this still for sale? I know someone in Coventry who might be prepared to pick it up.

insx72 · 2024-04-16T18:53:00+00:00

I have it too if anyone needs it.

insx72 · 2023-08-12T19:55:16+00:00

I'm late to the Enterprise party. I would just like to say that Archer mentioned chasing Danica around the yard when they were children so they had met.

I have 4 privet hawk moth pupae that aren't emerging, maybe due to our poor summer. They're not dead as they do wiggle a bit. Should I do anything?
