Hello there! I happen to help operate one of the "private networks" mentioned in the video. Linus Tech Tips got pretty much all of the details about the online with revenue sharing games correct, including what is done to get these games talking to unofficial servers in the first place. However, many games shipped on the SEGA ALLS platform and SEGA's older platforms (e.g. Nu, RingEdge, RingWide, Lindbergh) can run offline with no connection to SEGA. Notably, these can be (generally, as usual there are exceptions, like WACCA) identified by their black colored keychip. The red, blue, and yellow colored keychips indicate the different tiers of revenue sharing with SEGA. Sometimes, games will receive an offline patch and/or offline-specific keychip so the cabinets can still be run when their online services end instead of turning into paper weights. Some examples of this happening are WACCA, crossbeats Rev., and SEGA World Drivers Championship. WACCA and crossbeats Rev. shipped with black keychips straight from the factory as they did not have revenue sharing with SEGA. SEGA World Drivers Championship required revenue sharing but if an arcade purchased the offline conversion kit, they were shipped a black keychip to install, which disabled all the online functionality and unlocked all modes instead of requiring you to play each one, which is very nice since there are dozens of stages. Overall, this is a decent video of the world of getting these games working outside their official service areas.

I would love to turn a NUC into an XBMC/Kodi media center. I already have a Raspberry Pi and an old laptop running XBMC.

Thank you very much @nicklmg @LinusTech It very nice of the sponsors to give all of us chances to win cool things. My favorite item is the True Quiet fans because I have old noisy fans and good fans that are quiet are essential to having a great gaming experience and to not annoy the other people in the house while you game.

So awesome. Even if I don't win I will still support you guys. I don't contribute much on the forum as I am busy with school work and other activities. -
I like the Z2 because Sony hasn't changed so much compared to AOSP which is what I have on my Nexus 7 (2012). It also seems very responsive and a good screen size for my usage.

I am going to try my luck on this giveaway. My favorite thing about this notebook is the fact that it will last 3 hours using nVidia Optimus, but still has power for more powerful games compared to my crummy MacBook Pro.
