Post your Gaming Setups

Nothing looks significantly different from before really, but I've just recently gutted my room, as it was getting to be a bit of a mess. (which is completely unlike me)

First pic since getting my new Sony LCD though; and after trying loads of the latest displays, I found this to be the best on a price / performance ratio. I know it looks a little on the small side (17" Widescreen) but the image quality is incredible, and I can still easily tell the difference between 720p and 480i at 4/5ft etc. (can still make out aliasing in 720p too)

Still not impressed with the performance of wireless mice, but I do hate having wires, lol.

Just recently calibrated my speakers / sub so I now can't tell when it kicks in. (you can just see it under the desk)

(I have 5 PSP games but my friend is currently lending them)

How trusting of you. I'd never let anybody lend my games for me.

Have you been careful to keep tabs on the battery condition on that beauty?

(For everyone else):

CPS-2 games
In 1993 Capcom came out with their CPS-2 hardware which incorporated another suicide battery. It uses a custom 68000 with some RAM with another decryption table used to decrypt the main program ROMs. If your battery dies, you'll be greeted with a solid green or blue screen and that's it. Some folks have had success decrypting the program ROMs to make them playable in emulators, but this has not yet translated into a fix for the real hardware. The CPS-2 games are a bit more complex than CPS-1 games. Replacing the custom CPU may not be possible, since the CPU is surface-mounted, soldered directly to the PCB. My guess is that a PROM containing the decryption key will have to be added to the board and used in place of the battery-backed RAM. It'll probably be a ways off before we see a viable fix.

Your only recourse at this time is to change the battery before it dies.

I'm guessing you don't know of Phoenix ROMs?

Marcus: I see the tissue is running out.......

Heh. He takes care of things, always has his room clean etc. And only lives over the road, so easy to get back .

Yeah I know all about the suiciding (it's one reason why I stayed away from it for a while) and how to safely swap batteries or put in a battery holder. TBH though I'm considering going for a phoenix mod straight off. From there on it's zero worry and you get a few extras added in too like a jukebox.

Don't follow. How could you tell he had the Phoneix mod?

EDIT; Ahh ok, the link I posted had no mention of the Phoneix mod. OK. Well yeah sound like a good idea. Hadn't heard of it before. Ta.

[PJRouse]

right, been lurking for a while, avoiding this thread, but, the place is relatively tidy today, so I snapped this:



I really want to get rid of the majority of my DVD's and CD's, but just can't bring myself to do it :/

Another Dell W2600 owner - nice one!

Did you get yours when they were ridiculously cheap just before Xmas?

Is that a vase of flowers I see on top of your TV?

Any idea how dangerous that is?
