  1. In Topic: Any use for a 20 year old Mac?

    I didn't end up keeping it, it looked like it would have been a bother to find old school cables for monitors (2 row VGA, possibly sync issues?) and keyboards/mice (daisy chain PS/2?).

    I noticed this when I was looking


    Bump, whatever, but for the record the keyboards/mice were "ADB" or "Apple Desktop Bus". A proprietary connector used by Apple for low-speed accessories. You definitely could daisy chain them too.

    Also the monitor socket is Apple's 15-pin RGB but you can adapt that quite easily. At worst you would have needed some kind of sync cleaner to get it to play nice.

  2. In Topic: Suspicious PCB found inside laptop

    but what the fuck is it tracking with?

  3. In Topic: Early MD VDP bug

    30 May 2010 - 08:13 AM

    I'm not sure if this is even relevant at all since I'm no MD tech wizard or anything, but it sounds kinda like what's going on. I've got a Genesis Model 1/TMSS and whenever I clear virtually any second act in Sonic 2, the flickies leaving the egg container cause the parts of the container they're parallel with to disappear. It looks like there's more or less an eraser moving up and down it, revealing what's behind. IIRC my friend's Genesis 2 doesn't do this, but it's been forever so I'd have to check.

  4. In Topic: What hazard do you hate the most in Sonic?

    22 April 2010 - 11:50 PM

    the cheap death spike pit in Mystic Cave Zone. The inescapable one.

  5. In Topic: Has there ever been a trick to that notorious Sonic 3 cheat?

    11 April 2010 - 04:05 PM

    Also interestingly, what Tweaker said applies to regional/TMSS lockouts as well. I own a Japanese copy of Altered Beast (found at Goodwill, oddly enough) which I have transplanted into an empty cart to fit my Genesis 1 (I believe a broken Bram Stoker's Dracula was the donor, also Goodwill). It won't start normally. However starting any other game, ripping it out, inserting Altered Beast and doing a soft reset will start the game. This leaves the previous game's RAM variables in place though, if I try this using a Sonic game I tend to end up starting out with only one hit per life (but infinite lives) and an astronomically high score. The only game I've been able to start it and have it behave properly with is Paperboy 2. Random, I know.
