I have finally made it through my run of all five mainline Elder Scrolls games, this time around with every character being a Dunmer named Lilonah, so, naturally, I've moved on to the Fallout Series. I've only in depth played the most recent one, so I am in for some fun. That's a lot of gaming! How …

I can't stand Conker's Bad Fur Day. The camera is awful, the N64 controller (as usual) makes it unplayable, and the game is not that funny. If you have access to an xbox one or later console, the rare replay version feels a lot nicer to play. Of course, it doesn't fix the other problems you have …

I want to get into Morrowind and Arx Fatalis on a modern PC with mods.. Havent looked into which ones to use with either of them yet though. If you look up the STEP Morrowind guide, you can have a mostly vanilla game with modern graphics. It's only managed to randomly crash like three times in the …

I'm 50 hours in to Morrowind, and I have been loving everything but the handful of times a crash combined with not saving has ruined progress.

I managed to snag myself a GTX 280 for the grand total of $25, and it even came with drivers For a completely different in every way card ! image0.jpg I will test it out and ,at some point in the future, put it in to a system. I was originally going to put it in the HP workstation that I have so it …

I just managed to buy an SC-55 with control firmware 1.10 in a local pawn shop . - Display backlight is OK, but LCD text is rather pale - 1 or 2 of the front buttons don't work - Battery was still in but had not leaked (removed it). - it was covered in stickers and adhesive velcro pads - it was …

It will at least be interesting to see how they will try to make something that can be even close to the GPUs in their Mac Pros.

(I dunno if this is the right thread for this or not. If not, what thread would be better?) Is there someone on these forums that is capable of fixing up an OG Xbox? (Namely, removing the clock cap, maybe installing a more reliable PSU) The PSUs are totally fine, and usually don’t require any …

It took me beating both Arena and Daggerfall for me to be able to enjoy Morrowind's combat system enough to be able to play the game. Instead of complaining about the lack of hitting, now I'm just happy to not have to flick my mouse around while missing.

I've been spending a while now trying to figure out how to get my Dell Audigy 2 ZS working in tandem with my Vortex 2 card so that I can properly use daemon tools for CD audio. My DVD Drive is picky as all hell about burned disks.

Went through another Dark Forces mission. I'm currently at mission 9: Nar Shaddaa. This game has been so far really funny, however I had to patch it to support mouselook, since I can't play with keyboard only anymore. The game in it's base form supports mouse aiming, albeit horizontally only. I am …

Not sure it counts as retro, probably stretching it a bit lol - but today I completely disassembled & cleaned out a fat PS3. This thing was literally full of dust in every nook and cranny you could find. Also cleaned off the old crusty thermal paste from CPU & GPU and applied new thermal paste. …

Now the iMac G3 has a working optical drive again. While it's technically a downgrade from the semi-original broken DVD-ROM drive, I'm just glad to be able to read CDs on it again without them getting stuck in the drive. Besides, I never found a reason to use DVDs on this computer as I have plenty …

While the Gravis Gamepad is unquestionably iconic from an era otherwise dominated by 'Joysticks', it's not a particularly great gamepad. If you're using Windows 9X or higher, those Retrobit controllers like their Sega Saturn pad is far superior in every way. The Japanese/Later Western Saturn pad is …
