Given Namco's earlier very capable and very fast Namco System 22 hardware I doubt they'd license PowerVR PCX1 up for 23 especially as that chip can barely pull 30fps. Even MAME doesn't mention any PowerVR involvement for their source in that. If you do think it's PowerVR though, try to get a still …

I heard the original black version of the FK1 is out of production, but you can still find very similar models to this one. The differences are mostly on the shape and weight (to accommodate different hand sizes) but functionality wise they're still the same. The new versions come with an extra …

On the plus side, it's not a heavy mouse, there's no rubber coating and ergonomics are great, with a shape very similar to that of the classic WMO.

Zowie mice don't have any software and can switch polling rate by holding one or both side buttons while plugging in the mouse to a port. I have one of the FK1 series mice and they've been troublefree for me at @ 125hz.

It's not easy to get reasonable answers to a technical question. There's a next to useless search function. It suffers from the "How did I do? look what I found at the thrift store today ! ! !" Reddit syndrome.

Of course they can't help it. A business is not a charity. The main objective of a company is to generate and maximize profits. If mindless customers keep on buying, what can they be blamed for?

Companies and shareholders try to bet their money on where they think most people are heading towards. If they see people buying gimped graphics cards full of rgb lights at 1249 usd then the company will divert some of their resources into perfecting the sales strategy that made the 1249 usd card …

I fixed my card and manage to bypass Adaptec's shitty flash tool locks. Here's the deal: Grab uniflash140 from the net. Get the latest bios for your 29160 from Adaptec's website. Run the self-extracting zip file and rename the .BIN bios file to whatever you like (I used backup.bin for the sake of …

It's still got some of its identity and there's still the same kind of elitist people who look down on others who have cheaper systems. It does depend on what you make out of it, though. If we're talking about a generic tempered glass case with the greatest and latest RTX card, with a big load of …
