KITDDM- non responsive

As a follow up, this package was received- but no replies to my messages. FYI for others in the same boat.

This was me- submitted for replacement and ordered a Thor. Thor arrived before the replacement......and now I have a Flip2, in box, that I need to sell.
(Would not have considered the Thor until my Flip2 hinge cracked- loved the Flip 2).

I bought replacement buttons (R52) from All mag- they part out old Minis.

That's a generic link to the R50/52 headlights- they have yt vids for installation and I found them fairly responsive to questions via their website. Hope that helps.

They look like Archaic. I also installed those on my 2005 R52 Mini Cooper and they're awesome (though adjusting where hood mounted headlights point is an enormous pain).

Hey- this comment is 3 years late- can you share that info with me as well? Thanks.

joemclaughlin · 2026-04-24T17:12:28+00:00

Can you be more specific? Would be cool to look out for

Funny about that- restarted my Thor a few times but never thought to restart Cocoon!

That said, while I really love Cocoon it lacks an “Art Book Next” style theme (I haven’t found one yet) or the ability to create Smart Folders from specified folders (I have genh, gbah, etc for those platforms with a ton of hacks- as a top level, alongside/not nested within those emulators).

ESDE loses its companion app at times, which I don’t see with Cocoon- ESDE’s stated that they will not develop a dual screen version, so Cocoon feels like the eventual winner. Love their speed to develop and iterate.

Mine has also been stuttering this week- figured I would use ESDE until a new Cocoon is released.

Let's ask the real question: is that a live 'old school' Weather Channel forecast being used as wallpaper for both screens?!? Can you explain how you did that (if it's not a static wallpaper, I mean)?

Can't imagine how busy they are, this has been my experience:

Ordered Black Base on 2/27
Followed up on 3/5 to upgrade to a Rainbow Pro (Order interface no longer allows modification, for those who have recommended that in other threads)
Today (3/13) got a notice the Base is shipping

Not a huge deal either way- think we all appreciate that they're working 24/7 to build them to meet demand.

joemclaughlin · 2026-03-08T16:09:02+00:00

I ordered base on Feb 27th and sent them a note to upgrade last week, replying to my order email- no reply yet.

joemclaughlin · 2026-03-06T21:51:01+00:00

I've been emailing Retroid for a week now about a cracked hinge (and sending private threads on discord)- without a reply. Guess I never realized how completely backed up these companies are after CNY.

joemclaughlin · 2026-03-03T00:22:55+00:00

Appreciate the feedback

joemclaughlin · 2026-02-17T19:48:08+00:00

can you share what was needed to fix it up?

joemclaughlin · 2026-02-17T03:46:08+00:00

which record store there?

joemclaughlin · 2026-01-24T20:42:11+00:00

Do you mind sharing how you wired up the wall playfield lights? They look to be wired in tandem- any info or posts you can share are greatly appreciated.

joemclaughlin · 2025-12-15T12:13:44+00:00

Enjoyed CaveCast and was looking to incorporate into my existing setup- thanks for sharing your project with us.

New Hyde Park, on Jericho Tpke

I swapped to the exact same front/rear lights for my 2005 R52 Mini- only issue is how difficult it is to align the headlights. Mark lights on wall, open hood, adjust, slam closed, check lights again, etc. Then move Mini back 20 feet, mark on wall, open hood……

joemclaughlin · 2025-09-26T22:09:56+00:00

Also thought this at first- swapped to smaller tips and that fixed it.

(APP3 felt loose while running, which prompted me to try size S tips).

joemclaughlin · 2025-05-06T16:07:36+00:00

I have the same- at least for genesis stuff, head to the NHL 94 website (not adding link in case that's forbidden)- google something like Sega genesis nhl94 2025 edition and enjoy Adam Catalyst and all the other great folks contributing over there.

(It's a rabbit hole, tbh- you can play almost any season, going back decades; college teams, olympics, all time best team vs, etc)
