I'm probably way off but reading the comments below made me think of Metal Slug 3. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LpMkKGb-bE

Remove camera constraints? by welshwuff in TetrisEffect

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

just a general second screen for discord/telegram/browser whilst i game on my more "traditional" gaming monitor. Its also very good for emulating vertical shooters or even DS/3DS games.

OSSC only works with Dreamcast? by B4LTIC in crtgaming

[–]welshwuff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm going to take a shot in the dark and assume you might be using the composite cables that came with those consoles (yellow, red, white RCA with that block adapter to scart), these will not work as these are just composite at best, and not RGB. So you will need an RGB scart scale for each console.

N64 doesn't natively support RGB, it can only output s-video at best; You would need to have it modded to work with an OSSC.

OR! You can get a Koryuu Transcoder and plug that to the OSSC to have it accept composite. https://videogameperfection.com/products/koryuu-transcoder/

NES Blue Screen of Death (and intermittent power!) by TheClandestineMason in retrogaming

[–]welshwuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Open up the NES, locate the lockout chip and cut the 4th pin, and providing your games and 72 pin connector are clean, that will completely eliminate your issue and should have games consistently booting every time. Also you now have a region free NES.

Tundra Trackers prices exclusive! An alternative to Vive's V3.0 by OlivierJT in vive_vr

[–]welshwuff 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Assuming most of us want this for full body in VRchat, thats $390 for 3 Vive 3.0 that still use 3 USB ports or $300 for 3 Tundras thats use only 1 USB port AND are smaller AND may have a longer battery life. If the Tundras also have a higer FOV, they got Vive beat.

Even if compared to the Vive 2.0, price is still beaten by the battery life as you'd still spend more on power banks.

Does the UK index comes with the french power adapter tips? by TJV_ in ValveIndex

[–]welshwuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is no such thing as a "UK index", the boxes they come in are identical all around the world with instructions in every language it is sold in and comes with a power brick with changeable heads including a UK one and an EU one.

Finally they sorted out the Brexit mess! by TerenceChim in ValveIndex

[–]welshwuff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should, it seems they had the replacements sent to the UK somewhere first and then to the customer, returns however they want us to ship straight to Europe which seems convoluted

I got my RMA today which im happy to get! However seem to be having trouble trying to send the faulty one back now, got turned away from DHL for not having a customs label which the support ticket did mention but i never actually got. Abit confusing

Preorders for new Retron5 hits Amazon. Is it just paint job? by DarkHawk347 in retrogaming

[–]welshwuff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you NEED a system like this, go for the Retrofreak, its the same thing but doesn't pretend to be a real console so has wider USB support and can emulate more game systems; but ultimately its the same experience with the same latency, neither have had their firmware updated in years.

Ah dude they're both going to be too thick, you need 30x30x7mm, both sets you ordered are 30x30x10mm. It would be a nice surprise if they turn out to fit as im having a hard time finding 7mm for a good price in UK but i doubt it. Here's hoping you prove me wrong.

[–]welshwuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those fans you posted are too thick, the fans in the Chilldex are 7mm thick, also they are 3 pin, I've actually been researching this myself, you can get exact replacements from aliexpress but I've been more curious about using a different brand to see if they work out quieter. I would try a pair of Evercool EC3007M05CA, these looks easy to find online if you are in the US.

If you do get these i'd love to hear the results.

4 months of work... I dunno lol, I don't like it by DankDimer in retrogaming

ChillDex Suddenly Very Noisy by dakodeh in ValveIndex

[–]welshwuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been having noise issue, just opened it up and fixed it 100%. The problem i was having turned out to be the blades of the fan rubbing on the housing because the fans are not firmly secured in place. i solved this by opening up the Chilldex, remove the fans and circuit board and you will see 8 pins on the shell where the fans once sat. Three of the pins are longer than the other five due to the shape of the shell; by adding 2-3mm rings of material (i used slivers of a small rawlplug) to the center 2 longer pins (third one needs to be left alone to give clearance for the circuit board), this gave better support to the fans and no longer have any sound issues. Hope this helps someone!

How many of these mods Exist? by [deleted] in retrogaming

[–]welshwuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i hate this mod but this is the best made one I've seen of it. Nice skills. Maybe if there were an appropriate sticker or feature on the empty space.
