  1. Now I've actually watched the whole video, figured would explain a couple of things that LTT weren't sure about. This is mostly from memory so forgive me if there's errors. The Serial Ports are used for things like the Card Reader (used to read AIME/Amusement IC account cards), lighting boards, and depending on the game, other hardware like Touchscreens or input devices. Most modern SEGA games use SEGA's USB I/O board, which converts the buttons and sticks (or things like wheels & pedals, or more odd controls like the Chunithm panel thing). Other manufacturers (and SEGA on their older boards) use the JVS input standard, which is an RS-485 Serial connection. Namco and Taito both have other input standards, like Namco's USIO and Taito's FastIO. I don't know too much about bootlegged boards on the more private networks, but I know for emulation what's often done is the actual Keychip/Security Dongle hardware is emulated in software to trick the game into thinking the hardware is connected, and I know on SEGA's older RingEdge/RingEdge2 systems, the free multi-boot floating around emulates the Keychip on real hardware.
  2. Hi there, former TeknoParrot Developer here, cool to see an LTT video on it! Haven't had a chance to fully watch yet but cool to see it sounds like they did a good job covering it! Lol you realize there's a team of developers right? Not just Reaver?
  3. Right now I'm fine with slightly bottlenecked performance from a GPU since running a newer GPU will still run the games better. For context, a 5800X3D is $570NZD new, and I'd probably need to also invest in a better cooler as the one I have isn't great (was a spare one sitting around). All the while for the other games I play I don't think a new CPU would make a noticeable performance increase.
  4. Budget (including currency): $500-850 NZD Country: New Zealand Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Dying Light 2, Cyberpunk 2077, also a bunch of older games not worth worrying about Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): Current spec: Ryzen 5 2600 32GB DDR4-3200 RX 580 8GB 512GB NVMe 3x 1080p monitors (1x 144hz FreeSync, 2x 60hz) Pretty much I would like to play primarily Dying Light 2 and Cyberpunk at 1080p60fps High without needing to use AMD FSR2 since I'm not a fan of the blurring it does. The only other games I really play are older titles like GTA 5 and CSGO that my RX580 runs fine so I'm not concerned about those running well on a better GPU lol. At the moment I'm just looking for recommendations within my budget for a GPU, My main concern is if I spend much more than $850 on a GPU I'm going to be paying for performance I can't use with a 144hz 1080p monitor, and right now I don't want to upgrade monitors. I'm a bit behind on specs so I'm not sure what would be best. I don't mind buying used, if the answer to my queries is still "buy 1080ti used" then that's perfectly fine. I also don't have brand loyalty, so I don't mind buying AMD, NVIDIA or Intel. (Used wise the main site we use is trademe.co.nz, brand new pbtech.co.nz or mightyape.co.nz primarily)
  5. I don't know how retro this really is, but I made my first LightScribe disc today with a JPG from the Internet Archive. While it's a bit faint (probably need to dial in the contrast a bit) I reckon it looks way better then the alternative, which is me sloppily scribbling "Windows 2000" on the disk with a permanent marker.

    Hi Guys!

    Haha, I probably should've mentioned this is my setup at school, at home I have a 1080p 22" monitor I use but for up at school (I go to boarding school) I use this monitor, which is 1280x1024 so you were a bit off

    Hi Guys!

    I never actually got around to introducing myself when I made an account here, so I thought now would be a good time. I was really unsure what to put here so I thought I'll show off my personal gaming rig a bit. It hasn't got a name, but I can give you the specs It's CPU is a Intel Pentium G3260 @ 3.3Ghz locked GPU is the Gigabyte WindForce GTX 950 with the Factory OC Motherboard is the Gigabyte GA-H81M-S2H LGA1150 MicroATX Motherboard Case is the Yeong Yang YY-3606 MicroATX case 8GB DDR3 RAM Some 400W PSU out of a prebuilt (Nothing is overclocked other than the factory one on my GPU and I don't plan on overclocking anything) Logitech G230 Headset HP $10 Keyboard Ajazz Gaming Mouse Philips 170B 4:3 monitor Logitech LS20 speakers Some chinese RGB strip with a unbranded LED controller I bought off TradeMe (kinda like eBay but for New Zealand)
  8. I've been a follower for a few years now, and am happy that you guys got to 3 million. 4 million next year? I would be interested in the Blade 14 non stealth but really I don't mind. PS this would be sweet as my current Acer laptop has just fallen to bits and is going to cost me at least $138 NZD to fix and I'm a student.

  10. Also why on earth has no one put a RX 480 in their build that I've seen so far? I put one in mine and that wasnt even the most expensive part
  11. @Nitroblast that build is the ultimate gaming rig omg can it run GTA 5 on ultra?
