Everybody go watch the PS5 teardown video

 

 

Can we get the Youtube Video or article instead of the SRK Post. 

I am done with that site, I am only going back to check PMs as I am handing off Secret Santa to someone else. 

It's already posted in the Video Game thread, but I felt it would be at home here too
 

So apparently we might get user swappable plates, and there a standard PC style NMVe M.2  slot.
The default starter SSD is soldered on board, which gives me mixed feelings, but having a standard user expandable bay is better than Microsoft's approach with their Xbox.

How do we post photos from our camera roll?

You need to up load your photos to a image hosting site, then copy and paste the URL provided. 
I don't know any free sites at the moment other than Imgur.com 

I would not bother with Photobucket, unless you want your shit to be held hostage.

@DarkSakul Hi!

HI CHAD !!!

That reminds me, with how images work here
I need to find a new image hosting site again so I can share projects and such. 

Not that long ago I refurbished a DMG GameBoy (a black play it loud model) which I bought busted up.
Someone botched a Screen replacement install, left out half the screws and the damn speaker. 

But after a new screen (Funny Playing IPS screen)  and I/O Board, new Power Regulator Board, New Speaker with a Audio Amp bypass, a USB C chargeable lithium battery, cleaning out any battery corrosion, and a glass screen cover this thing is pretty beast. 

I also did a screen swap and upgrade to a modern TFT screen on a Game Boy Color (Atomic Purple)

lol smashers crying about dlc characters in some kids party game never gets old. 

Funny they cry about it's make then look like pedophiles, but their own scene is full of them. 

 

Sins of a Solar Empire is a Space-based Real Time Empire building strategy game
There is Ashes of the Singularity which is by the same people as Sins of a Solar Empire

Command and Conquer Remastered is a Remaster of the Original C&C (retroactively renamed Tiberium Dawn) and the first Red Alert, and all the expansions. It got rebuilt by the C&C Community and much of the original Westwood dev staff. And yes it's from EA. 

Warhammer 40K Dawn of War II is good (I would avoid Dawn of War III) which is squad tactics using Space Marines. 
Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus is also good, the difference from Dawn of War II is you are The Adeptus Mechanicus raiding a Necron Tomb world with a Risk/Reward motif. As you want to avoid waking too many Necrons forces, but you want to steal there tech, which you do enough you wake the Necorns. 

Age of Empires is what I was told also a good series to look into, I need to look into it my self. 

Star Wars Empire at War is good even though it's dated now, came out in 2006 

Homeworld series is also a good one to look at, they just had a remastered collection not long ago. 

My Copy of Cyber Punk 2077 is locked in

 

This thread gone quiet too long.

Ayy welcome. Remember that guy with the Randy Savage profile picture that we clowned? Whatever happened to him?

No idea. 

Limited Run ending their Pre-Order for the original Shantae soon (Oct 11).

This includes the game for Switch and Gameboy Color. 

https://limitedrungames.com/collections/neo-frontpage/products/shantae-game-boy-color

Yes I have returned. 

Check out Ultra Kill
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1229490/ULTRAKILL/

I went ahead and installed a USB-GDROM and Pico PSU, Aftermarket clear Shell and LEDs into my Dreamcast
Even have my first foray into 3D printing, didn’t came out as expected but it works for what I want (the bottom part of the tray did not print).

Also I found PNY brand USB flash drives such, stick to SanDisk 

The Maker of the Mega Everdrive made a Wireless Sega Genesis  Controller

Also for you nay Sayers who bring up thats it's $35 for a 8 Bitdo Controller, You need another $30 for the matching receiver if you want to use it with a NES or SNES. This is the game pad and receiver unit. 

It actually overrides whats the Power options do in the control panel. And Disabling it does not break the OS, but you get a  hard off instead of the OS shutting down to off. 

But I found a work around, going to the power options in Windows, making the setting for the power button to shut down.

Then in the app, notice how it said "Perform this action (Sleep) automatically and don't show me this message again" 

(Sleep) changes to (Shutdown) with that adjustment with Windows, and then I clicked the check box so the App does not come back up. 

I Don't need a sleep button as the laptop set to sleep when the lid is closed anyways. 

Yep, power button app.

I want to just go uninstall it but I want to do some research behind it first.

Let me self know what I am getting into.

The app pops up when I hit the power button too. 

The normal, Sleep, Restart and shut down works fine in the Start Menu.

By the way I use classic shell for the Start Menu, as I don't like the Metro Start menu brought in by Win 8.

Just got a new Laptop, Its a Acer Nitro 5 AN515-51

Man Acer whats up with your Power Button app?

It is (currently) my only issue with the Laptop. 

I always wanted a Mini arcade machine ever since I first saw those old Coleco Mini arcades in the 80s with their vacuum fluorescent displays.

Those things are primitive by today's standards, but back then they just seem so cool to have a mini arcade machine.
The Tiny Arcade is Smaller, and the screen isn't all that good. But I saw the hack and felt I had to give it a shot. 

Hacked a Tiny Arcade Pac man 

I had the on board jumper removed and soldered in a  4 position switch.

This allows me to play all the Tiny Arcade games and instead of the one preset on the Cab.

Here is a demonstration of the other games I got to come up

The Four games are Ms. Pac-Man, Pac-Man, Galaxian, and Space Invaders
