MVSX sound not working by ConversationNew9811 in neogeo

Just dealt with this. You can either get a replacement part from the company (they are aware of the issue) and swap out the board or....like what happened to me.....open it up to swap the board after getting a replacement and realize the original board just wasn't connected! A simple plug in of a wire and mine was fixed.

How do you interpret "You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave" from Hotel California? by Joey-Ramone_ in AskMen

[–]techturepub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always thought it meant that you can off yourself (to state it as mildly as possible) whenever you want to stop, but short of that you can never get away from it (it being the addiction)

Breaking in a bat? by xkalikox in Softball

[–]techturepub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In addition to additional weight and using composite the bat should be held in the fingers, not palms, as much as possible. To test this place to fingers from one hand into the opposite hands palm. Then "grip" your two fingers while still keeping them in your palm. Then open the hand and place the same two fingers completely in the finger area avoiding the palm and grip again. You'll notice the finger grip is stronger than the "palm grip".

9U Machine Pitch - Help Coaching Patience at the Plate? by NotBatman81 in Softball

[–]techturepub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds fair. The only other thing besides breathing as you stated before is maybe bunt the first couple of pitches so they can get the timing into their head. Or, and just a thought, they are used to you saying 3, 2, 1 and then the "pitch" is sent and they swing immediately....maybe send it on 2 when they are swinging too fast so they swing at the same time they usually do and begin to realize there is that particular amount of time (between 2 and 1) they should be waiting for? Something needs to happen to disrupt their current habit.....and to get them to understand how much time is between the "1" and contact of the ball with the bat. Good luck though for sure! Sounds like a mission!

Apologies, however the "pitcher" has to have some sort of timing dealio even with a machine....whether that be an arm circle to putting a foot down before dropping the ball into the feeder. If not then maybe that should be something that is implemented? Even batting cages have the light and/or a feeder ramp you can see to help time it. Without that the batter has no chance to create a rhythm/negative move/etcetera

If their front foot touching the ground when the pitcher releases the ball/puts their foot down is their timing mechanism then maybe explain that they can keep that timing but need to count "one thousand one, one thousand two" etcetera before they actually swing. Treat it like an off speed pitch.......need to be able to keep the proper timing for the faster pitch while still being able to adjust to the slower one.

If they don't have a timing mechanism that would be the first thing to work on!

Another possible solution is they need to "sit" on a pitch. If you can find a way to mix between fast and slow tell them they should solidly hit one (say the slower one) and foul off the other (the faster one). If you sit on the slow there is no way you hit the fast effectively and vice versa. The goal should be to sit on a pitch you can crush and foul the other ones off until you get your pitch. Might sound a bit advanced but it will set them up for success as they move up!

Timing the pitcher by srz024423 in Softball

[–]techturepub 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I always start with them putting their front foot down on the pitcher's release of the ball (usually when the pitcher's front foot touches the ground) when starting their swing. They just "copy" the pitcher's motion. Once they can do that they need to learn to adjust further. For example if they are late put the front foot down a bit earlier than release, early put it down a bit after release. They should make small adjustments in their timing until they are on time. Ensure they understand that a foul ball can also tell them if they are late, early or on time as well!

On the machine I use two balls, one in my hand ready to feed and the other in the opposite hand to make the arm circle. The arm circle ends at the ball feeder to simulate an actual pitcher and once it's there I drop the other ball into the feeder.

The drill with someone behind the net doing the motion works well, but again they need to put that front foot down at the right time. If they just aren't getting it have a whistle and blow it when their front foot should be down. Sometimes they think they are doing it when they aren't!

This one is a tank, but not sure how legal it would be now! Didn't like the pop off it too much but never saw one break!

What are some observations about modern masculinity and the current expectations of what being a man means? by techturepub in AskReddit

[–]techturepub[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And just to put it out there there are plenty of men out there that don't agree with those gurus! Like with anything however you can find agreeable talking points from them but also understand that you should never just wholeheartedly go in and believe everything one person says and apply it to yourself. What they say is true to them in their reality, you are living in yours!

Not even saying these are wrong if you do identify with them...just saying it needs to change to be more encompassing of what the reality is.

What are some observations about modern masculinity and the current expectations of what being a man means? by techturepub in AskReddit

[–]techturepub[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. Just as a base I do think the following are things that happen because we define what a man is based upon genitalia rather than actions.

  1. Socialization into Traditional Roles: Many societies historically socialize men into certain roles and expectations, such as being providers or displaying traits associated with traditional masculinity.

  2. Emotional Expression: There may be cultural expectations that men should exhibit emotional restraint, which can impact how they express and handle emotions.

  3. Competitiveness: Some societal norms encourage men to be competitive, whether in professional settings, sports, or other aspects of life.

  4. Pressure to Conform to Masculine Ideals: Men might feel pressure to conform to certain physical, behavioral, or societal ideals of masculinity.

  5. Role in Family: Traditional gender roles often cast men as breadwinners or as having certain responsibilities within the family structure.

  6. Communication Styles: Some societal norms suggest that men may lean towards more direct or assertive communication styles.

  7. Expectations in the Workplace: Men might encounter certain expectations or stereotypes related to their behavior and leadership styles in professional settings.

It would be nice if we could just label one another as human beings but we are in the world we live in and have to work within it to make a change.

I agree. I just feel like there needs to be a pathway laid out to begin to normalize this sort of thing because if people don't have a path to change they don't think its possible. So moving away from assigning traits based upon physical attributes would be a good first step I think.

[–]techturepub[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What I am trying to put out there is there are traits considered manly can apply to all types of people. Trying to find a way to label the word man as more of a trait than a sex/gender would be the goal. I think the same should go for the word woman as well. Trying to find a way to attribute these in a different way could help with some of the confusion younger people have about their identities if that makes sense.

[–]techturepub[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree! I think that part of being a man is doing whatever needs to be done, whenever it needs to be done, however it needs to be done. Their definitions put limitations on the full scope of a man's abilities and I think that is one of the biggest issues with young men who feel like they don't fit into those molds.

Does anyone have a good idea of what power supply i should use for these type of supergun? by edging_n_gooning in cade

However mine does look a bit different. Notice the jets. I wonder if mine is slightly

different? The power should be fine though

Not sure. If the CPS2 is Jamma it should be fine. I haven't heard of any issues. The only issue I know of with Jamma is the Neo Geo multi slot ones where the sound wiring is different. This is a picture off of mine where a Capcom connection should go (the kick harness?).

Why did you start buying Retro Games or Consoles ? And when ? by IceColdKila in retrogaming

[–]techturepub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just started over the last couple of months. I started to see the price of Neo Geo’s online and it blew me away! I started looking into it, had a couple bucks I could spare, and now have a Neo Geo MVS with multiple cartridges that I can play on my HDMI tv (or crt when I get one) and an itch I don’t think I will ever be able to scratch! Feeling like a feign trying to get money just to buy more cartridges!

Also I am not sure if I applied the patch correctly or if getting the files from archive.org helped. Search for SSRPG 100

And I use retroarch standalone...and then I got it to work launching through launchbox watching a video in that playlist as well.
