Re: Save the case! Spare part needed - can you help?

Long shot: Consider contacting Cooler Master, maybe they can help you out even though it's old, obsolete, unsupported, out of warranty and used.

Re: Bought these (retro) hardware today

Until I saw it, I had no idea Sierra Semiconductors ever made a vga chip. The only other card I could find pictures of with the same chip is the STB Horizon 64 PCI. I did find the datasheet and the chip is supposed to support 4MB though I don't think any were made with more than 2MB, which is what …
Re: Apple is getting off Intel CPU’s ?

Bruninho's definition of "is supported" is definitely outdated by at least a decade if not more. Here's how you should read it, Bruninho. "is supported" - "We (Apple) will provide you technical support, this configuration should work, we will stand behind this" "is not supported / is unsupported" - …
Re: What is your weirdest troubleshooting experience when dealing with retro computers/hardware?

I think I've told this story before: Some time around 2005 or 2006, I was working at a mom&pop computer shop in the service department when a guy brought in his AMD Athlon system, I think he had a MSI K8 Neo 2. Guy complained that the sound card he recently bought from us wasn't being detected. It …

Not a big fan of cross-posting for more views - also, I'd argue that Marvin is getting far more views than other sections of the forums these days. Merged with previous thread.

Yeah, so I checked with one of my Internet friends who works on Demul and MAME. He's at least 90% sure what you guys ran into was an old emulation bug that's been fixed in other emulators, probably an issue with NullDC being unable to save setting to EEPROM, (and/or both players EEPROM/SRAM/etc. not …

I'm from europe and I found at least one microcenter in california :p and a quick google search leads me to many others. Microcenter is amazing. I call stores like that "the promised land" - packed with computer gear and the size of a Walmart Superstore! My first time in one, I got a bit …

Hummingbird Exceed was popular back in 1990’s I don’t know if there is a client for Win9x but it worked well for accessing UNIX systems. http://www.mattecsupport.com/service/document/archives/720-0092.pdf Ah, hadn't seen that logo in a while. Well, the manual you found there is for the Win9x client …

thx - im working on modifying the hex but no luck yet Again - if the setting "exists in the hex", either GAME software OR NAOMI SYSTEM software, then it's an emulation issue. If the setting does NOT "exist in the hex", then it's a modification that either exists in some different revision or …

I believe you can still get to it via Device Manager -> Action -> Add Legacy Hardware. Ah I see, it's missing unless you click one of the nodes. Still I believe installation won't be possible. The cards were manufactured for 16 bit DOS and the drivers for Windows 9x were probably 16 bit too. …

OH okay. If the arcade operators could fix this setting by entering the service menu, then the code to do what you want should exist within sfz3ugd . If you cannot find the setting by entering the service menu, then it's probably NOT an emulation issue - it's likely it doesn't exist within that …

Not sure what led you here. I would say that you're unlikely to find an active NAOMI emulation community here. Followed the trail of https://wiki.mamedev.org/index.php/Angelo_Salese Hah, I created that wiki content. So maybe that? I really want to play this game online using the new netcode …
