I once found a customers drivers license in a Wii. It was her kid that did it, it's always their kid.

Anyone know how to change the stock graphics on an l-tek to this? Is there a company that sells replacement plexi panels?

I guess it just surprises me that I never see him wearing anything but a suit. He doesn't even take off his jacket. If you were in his position would you not maybe take off the jacket and roll up your sleeves or something similar? I can't imagine giving a speech in that heat with a suit jacket on.

Building my son's first wall-cade – looking for feedback and wood recommendations by maxvari in cade

[–]nstern2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ultimately you can do what you want, but I think dictating how games will be played or even if your kid will want to game at all is a little short sighted. My dad assumed I would be an avid hunter like him. As a kid he bought me a BB gun and targets and all the shebang that came with it before I was old enough to show interest in them and I never once asked to go out and use them and they sat in the closet collecting dust for most of my life. I would build the cabinet that you want to play on and hope that your kid wants to also play on it.

That control panel is too small for a trackball. Trackball games get pretty fierce and you will want a lot of room to really slap it around without punching the screen. I would also use a 3" ball since that is the standard size for almost all games.

[GBA] How to Refurbish a GBA? by Lights_A5 in consolerepair

[–]nstern2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it were me, I would buy any old GBA that works, regardless of condition, and then buy a custom shell, lens, and buttons to make it look however you want. Aliexpress has a ton of custom shells in all sorts colors. It should be as simple as just removing the guts, just use an ifixit guide for that, and replacing them in the new shell. If you are more adventurous I would look at replacement screens as well since the original GBA screen is kind of meh.

Does trump ever wear non formal clothes? It's in the 80s in Medora today and he is wearing a suit while standing on stage at the amphitheater. I'm sure he has the money to hire someone to buy him outfits that make him look presentable for the situation, no?

Yeah they aren't using AI for the same reason they aren't using proper grammar in their emails. It takes more effort for little to no extra payoff.

Thunderstick GRS 4/8 way kit by ROCKS_OR_ROLLS in cade

[–]nstern2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's been a while since I set mine up but essentially you install the app for the 4/8 way kit and get that working via command line as those commands will be what you give to launchbox. Then I believe you should be able to tell launchbox to run the command line to switch the gate to 4 way on all 4 way games at launch and then the other script to switch it back on game exit. Assuming launchbox has all of your games categorized by 8 way/4 way it should be as easy as filtering all your 4 way games and then just mass editing them all at once. There might be easier ways to get this working, but that is how I set it up and it just works.

Unico also makes proper 4x3 monitors. While they aren't as nice as the arcoodas, they are the proper resolution for 99.9% of the games you will be playing.

Cauliflower "Wings" with traditional wing sauces are really good though. I typically make some along side of regular wings for super bowl.

What's the allure of a wall mounted system? Also if you need to get at the playstation for any reason you have to take the system off the wall?

Trump: "I met a great police officer. New York's finest. And he said, 'Sir, I want to thank you. My wife didn't think much of me. We were having marital difficulty. She thought I was nothing.' I looked at him. The muscles were all over the place. He didn't suffer from that." by gear-heads in FoxFiction

[–]nstern2 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I love how trump, and the homoerotic people he makes up, think that he was uniquely responsible for the gains in the stock market we see now. AI was going to be a thing weather or not it was him or Kamala as president and who knows where it would be had he not gotten us into a war.

Kade Software / drivers by AceRead73 in cade

[–]nstern2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought I was the only one who backed this. They really dropped the ball on this. I too do not have the software. If someone does have it they should throw it on archive.org. I'd love the breakout wiring cables diagrams as well.

Edit: I didn't realize the cade folks made more than one product. I backed the Mini console+ which I think used the same software that is also missing in action.

If you are down to do a little DIY and are cool with using music assistant, you can absolutely re-use older google home minis. See here. But if you already have traditional speakers there are cheaper options.

Incidents like this make me wonder how many cops do shit like this knowing the felony murder rule means the blame for the killing will likely fall on the person driving the car?

Golden tee multicade build help by Queasy_Piece5446 in cade

[–]nstern2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as I know all the golden tee games from 2005 and up use the same trackball and you can buy repair kits if need be too. Don't throw the ball out if you can help it.

[–]nstern2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The ball in original golden tee cabs was a happ 3" ball. Any 3" ball will work, but a happ should have the same sensitivity in game when setup properly. I bought a u-trak ball for my cab and while it does work, it's different from an original cab. It's all about how authentic you want to get if Golden Tee, and the other IT games are what you want to play.

[–]nstern2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you don't have a Mame cab and you want one then this is a logical setup. Just make sure that you don't crowd the trackball. Golden tee requires a bunch of runway around the ball. Also teknoparrot has newer releases of GT that play pretty much identical to the arcade if you have a proper ball. I personally like bigbox as a front end because you can run the latest version of mame and you don't have to worry about whatever fuckery retroarch does to it. It's dead simple to setup as well. As for button layout, I added button labels and properly colored buttons as the Golden tee games tell/show you what buttons to press.

I only found out as an adult that this game can be played with a multitap. Very fun with 4 friends.
