Thoughts on Misadventures of Tron Bonne? I'm liking it so far, but it's a hell of a departure from Legends.

if you said "i like this because it is so tiny and cute" like the faggot you are, i wouldn't have said anything. but you come here telling us that this shit SBC with the bottom of the bin MediaTek SoC is a good emulation box, and that's just bullshit. even your phone in 2018 would likely be 10 times faster than this piece of e-waste.
>>
>>12026062
the complaint was out of the box PS classic had 50hz games and a poor emulator.
The conversation was more or less "you can easily mod that and put on proper games with better emulation, and do other consoles while you are at it", and then you stepped in.
Just fuck off and go back to bothering the people in the Mister thread, they are probably wondering where you are.

God, this takes me back to when I used horrid DOS trackers. I used to use one called Reality Adlib Tracker 2 that was even more wretched than this; you had to program all of the FM sounds yourself. It was so hard to make anything decent, and it was so goddamn ugly. I used it again a few years ago in DOSBox just to see if I could still use it. God damn, how did I ever use these?

Here are a few good old songs I enjoy -

Stop That Roach is entirely turn-based, no timer, I think you just have a limited amount of steps/turns to complete each puzzle.
Klotski is a simple block moving puzzle game for Win3.x, there is a timer but that's just for points, there is no time limit.
Pandora's Box is a collection of different puzzles for Win9x, no timer or time limits. All puzzles are visual like lining up pieces of a picture, no reflexes needed.

my guess is it's not there just because you don't fight ganon, like if he did return when you weren't dead you'd need em because of the silver arrows. there's no puzzle bosses like gohma in zelda 2 either.

Im having issues with an expansion pack i just repaired...

I got this expansion pack from a friend that told me it didnt work, after readaing about it i found out the main issue is the resistors going bad, i checked and indeed 2 of the resistor arrays had issues with the normal values, few days ago i received the replacements and now it is working for the most part.

Issue is the console keeps resetting by itself every few mintes, sometimes 5 minutes in, other times 10-15 minutes in, i have 3 other n64 consoles and this same issue happens with all 4 consoles, also have another PSU and it still happens with the other PSU, and also i have another expansion pack and a regular jumper pack and the resseting issue only happens with the expansion pack i repaired.

So, anyone has experience with this issue? it obviously is something with this expansion pack, i tried applying thermal paste under the small rubber pad thats inside the expansion pack, also i applied more solder to the upper pins on the RAM chip that serve as anchor points and my guess is also transfer heat from the chip to the PCB.

because rdram is a piece of shit.
it was tried on desktop computers and it flopped because it performed worse in real world scenarios because of increased latency compared to sdram and got hotter while being more expensive.
it didn't help that ddr sdram hit the market half a year after.

>Why'd SNK do it
For multislot MVS, I'm guessing they thought it would just be easier for operators to know that whatever they bought would jest werk with their MVS cab, and not have to worry about rotating monitors/accidentally putting a vertical game in with horizontal games. I'm not aware of any of SNK's cabs having an easy rotation mech, which would make things even more frustrating.
