Great! What's the next step? P.S. There are all sorts of wall-warts, any chance they could be combined in a single case? I don't have a next step for now, I'll have to do some research and get back to you :lol: Unfortunately the Lemon64 forums - which has been a great source of information - is …

Another small advancement towards keeping my C64 running long term, a replacement power supply. The original PSU’s aren’t great and have the potential to damage the machine if they go pop while plugged in. Unfortunately these PSU’s produce 2 different voltages so using 1 modern wall wart isn’t an …

Interesting product and it warms my heart to see dedication like this for the C64, it's such a classic. I couldn't actually see this available for sale on their website, but 150 euro is pushing it regardless. The major benefit I see here is allowing for easy use of modern PSU's, the original …

Very nice hardware, that's a whole lot of RAM for that era system! What OS are you thinking of running? Regarding the videocard, I wouldn't be too upset about the ET6000 not working, it's a fast chipset but not the best looking. Do you have a Matrox Millennium or Mystique? They're at least as fast …

Anyway, I think that serious A.I. needs a biological "core" rather than a synthetic one. Hmm I'm not sure about that - regardless of whether the technology exists or not I think it would be rejected by most countries on ethical grounds. We must remember the lessons learned from the movie the …

Re: Ebay rant - Global Shipping Program sucks

Yes that's right, when you register with Shipito they'll give you your U.S address. Usually you can change the shipping address when you're paying (via PayPal), but occasionally the seller will specifically state they do not ship to AU for example, and in that case you won't be able to bid until you …

Artificial Intelligence - how far will it go?

I saw the movie ‘Her’ the other night and it was surprisingly good. Like all movies I can think of that revolve around an A.I character, the conflict was generated by the question of the A.I’s ability to have emotions and individual thought. It got me thinking about the discrepancy between science …

There are a couple of ways these things can work, but yours looks like he more common and slightly more complicated of the 2 I've seen. So you have your power wires, turbo switch wires, and the third black wire is probably for the turbo led connector on the motherboard. Power is obvious, the turbo …

I use a web site called HopShopGo. I get a delivery address in Ohio, then they airmail the parcel to me once they receive it. They even offer a re-packaging service, so if you buy several small items, they pack them all in to one box to make shipping cheaper. I'm using Shipito and can recommend …

I’ve been playing Risen 2 for the past couple of weeks and wow, I’m really loving on it. It’s an action RPG by Piranha Bytes who have been creating amazing open world RPG’s since releasing Gothic in 2001. I loved the Gothic series too, excluding of course Gothic 4 which was produced by another …

Re: Mis-matched Voodoo 2 cards in SLI questions

I have a Voodoo 1 in my Windows 95 machine next to a Matrox G200 right now, and I would like to replace the Voodoo 1 with these cards. I think that these two in SLI should really do well with glide games through to the 1998 time frame - Using a P2 233mhz processor, running games that ask for no …

Hi Joe! My understanding is that 'mismatched cards' in this context means 'different manufacturers' - back in the day they had to be the same brand, which was an intentional limitation of the driver I presume. The FastVoodoo2 driver allows mismatched cards and I use this, it works well. My …
