I wonder if /vr/ can spot it.

Is it the lack of MvC2 art on the cabinet, but both MvC1 and MvC3 are on it?

>>8709839
Nope.

>>8709680
The top of Spider-Man's head is cut off.

Spoiler: the joysticks are mounted at the wrong height. They've clearly been mounted in 3/4" MDF or plywood when they are meant to be mounted in a metal control panel no thicker than 1/4". This ruins the playability of a cabinet which while hideous could otherwise still have served for playing some good games.

Okay, everybody!
Listen up!
Someone here thought it was reaaaaal funny to fraudulently report one of my posts AND the jannies gave me a warn. Now I want answers.... WHO THE F REPORTED ME?! I am going to kick the snot out of you and don't think you're safe. I WILL get to the bottom of this. You trolled the one channer today pal.

>>8710631
I was thinking of doing this or something similar since I have a 2017 SD2SNES (back when they used full size SD) in an NTSC cartridge. I want to be able to use it with my Super Famicom but I can't find any cartridge shells for a full size SD card version. I saw a while back on /vr/ someone made a top piece for a Super Famicom that has an American style cartridge port but I can't find shit about it now.

>>8710932
Surely it would be much easier to just cut a full size SD slot into an SFC cart shell?

>>8710939
I did that for an original Super Everdrive back in 2015. It looks like shit and I wanted something more professional.

>>8710941

Even then it still is pretty impressive that all they needed to do was replace the screen and route power to it. It was a fucking nuclear bomb blast and they managed to refurnish the thing. Lighten up.

>>8711828
Seems reasonable though, what's the problem?
These chips generated little heat but keeping them very cold would let you get a good overclock with little risk out of them, so peltier made sense. Specially at the time they were still common cards and nothing special.

>>8714005
I remember when peltier coolers were normal in PCs since the heat they produced was small enough to be efficient while the temperature decrease made sense for the clocks in question

>>8711878
Can't be assed linking to all these posts

What the hell is the point in using that much fucking hot glue? Jesus. That's way more than you need to keep everything in place, and if it's just a ghetto form of trying to pot it then someone should tell them that hot glue basically crumbles off into pieces if you just spray rubbing alcohol on it.

>>8714070
people can't reverse engineer your shit or learn how to do it easily
people can't modify or fix your shit
people can't criticize on your mistakes outside of too much hotglue
plus just being dumb and having no experience to actually do it properly instead

Mostly potting but also keeps shit in place during transport. Kids opening shit up, fucking with it, and breaking it isn't a new thing. Blaming their mistakes on someone else isn't a new thing either. A hot glue bukake job solves that.

>>8710473
How fucking heavy would that thing be?

>>8714854
>They were never normal. They were always inefficient memeshit that only thermodynamicslets fell for.
They weren't needed for low end hardware, but higher end hardware used them back in the day because it made sense. When your CPU is only 30W but it can clock 50% higher if you keep the temperature under 50C, it makes sense to use a peltier instead of a huge ass heatsink. That's before even heat sinks were used in concumer machines.

So confirmed they weren't "normal in PCs". I'm glad we can agree you were wrong.
Luck for you, as if I'd felt the need to point out the bullshit in your last post it'd be even more embarrassing for you.

>>8713417
this is so stupid that it turns around and becomes cool

>>8709883
Not him, but yes

>>8715697
They were normal to see, specially in higher end hardware configurations. Maybe if you only had a few computers turning the 90's and early 2000's, you never ran across them, can't blame you.
I don't understand how "they were in places they made sense" is a hard concept to understand. They don't make sense these days anymore though, that's been the whole point since my first post.

Personally I've had several higher end concumer PCs and workstations that used them, not to mention Apple used them in several PPC based Macs from factory too. Might be a surprise these days but then it was normal, since it made sense.
Hope you learned something new, enjoy anon.

Considering the screen and battery contacts are the flimsiest parts of the Gameboy, that's not at all surprising. What IS surprising (and what people are actually in awe of) is that the actual internals weren't damaged at all.

>>8714203
they're speed holes

>>8710631
It's gaping

>>8709680
The player two buttons on the right side aren't the same as the left, they're both on the inside of the screen.
Also the speakers are above the screen.
Additionally, the top part doesn't even cover the insert all the way, it sticks out the right side.

>>8713419
ynbaw

Had a friend who smashed his ps2 controller in a fit of rage

The casing was all that was damaged, all internals worked fine, he literally reassembled it all like an archaeologist trying to recompose some ancient pottery

It fucking worked, it was all held together with transparent tape, it even worked better than mine

On the other hand i had a friend who'd spit on joysticks when he got mad cuz he thought it'd make the joysticks work better (like lube or something)

Also had a friend with an extremly overheating GBA SP (he'd play it for hours)

The battery was swoling, instead of changing it, he opened the case, got tape, and now he battery is connected with wires and tape and he called this a "GBA with an air vent to cool off" (he thought the problem was just temperature)

The only other thing i recall is a friend who had to pirate the PS2 because he cut parts of the cd loader (this was a fat ps2) to "prevent the discs from being stuck"

Obviously he fucked the cd loader, so using the ps2 mc boot (or whatever it was called) to just load in games was his "solution"

Classic ben heckendorn. I had something very similar to this that didn’t work back in the day, bought it off some random guy on Ben heck’s forum in like 2006. Said it was almost working. It showed up weeks late (he was “finishing it”) with no screen, it was all fucked up and didn’t work, didn’t have a battery or anything. He used a frankensteined n64 shell with buttons plastered/wired into the system, and you held it as a controller.


Took it to a gaming convention that Ben heckendorn was at, he had a crowd of the cringiest nerds in the entire place following him taking notes and worshipping him. I pawned it off on them for like $30. I had brought some normie friends and one of them whipped out a camera and started filming the transaction talking shit, it was pretty embarrassing but kind of funny looking back.


I remember after meeting Ben heck though I thought he was a douche nozzle, that was the day I learned what the term neckbeard meant. Me and several friends joked about that guy and those portable consoles for the rest of highschool and on the rare occasion I’ll hear somebody from back then crack a joke about ol Ben heck. He lives in Madison, my hometown, I remember wanting to go egg his house when I was younger and never did, wish I would have.


Wonder what he’s up to now, hopefully he got some anger management and found a wife, guy was fucking miserable.

So let me tell you what happened tonight. I was getting a black screen of death.
The reason was the controller port/fan board just broke tonight. I had a spare one and that fixed everything.
If you dont connect the front fan you get a black screen of death. See the new board. I didnt bother putting in a battery because it works without it and it doesn't save the time and date anyway. The noctua fan is kind of worthless it barely pushes any air. The two black fans are strong and they aren't loud. I made it so the top lid fits. But i dont think i am even going to use the top lid. Because it makes me think it would cause bad airflow.

Is it the UMVC3 art on the arcade box?

It's not like that fucktard would've had the foresight to track down such a utility to check the drive before gutting that machine.

I wonder if that's a bootleg. I used to see "sealed" GBA games where the box was literally just a printout on paper and then stuffed into shrinkwrap.

Stuff like that reminds me of the early 2000s and being on somethingawful and every faggot there making one of these pieces of shit, playing it a couple times, and then abandoning it. Best was you'd visit their (mom's) house and see it and be like "oh cool let's play it" and they'd instantly sour and not want to even turn the fucking thing on.
