  1. The speedrun in question is of Yu-Gi-Oh! Forbidden Memories for the Playstation 1. Currently, the fastest way to play it is on console (PS2 with FDS turned on, with a BIOS version of 75001 or higher). However, there are multiple frame perfect tricks that now exist and if thermal throttling can happen, emulator has to go.
  2. I have a slim. But see, this discussion goes further than "I think it is possible." See, the reason we need to know is because we might ban the use of emulators for the speedrun of this game. Emulators are legal in our speedrun because they, currently, have no advantage over consoles. However, if thermal throttling is 100% confirmed to exist on PS1 and PS2, then that means emulators (UNOFFICIAL ways to play the game) can theoretically have an advantage over consoles (OFFICIAL ways to play the game). If that is true, then we are going to discuss banning the use of emulators for the speedrun. But some kind of concrete proof would be needed to bring up in the discussion.
  3. Hey everyone! This may seem like an odd question but is very relevant to me. You see, I'm a speedrunner. This means I play games as quickly as possible (with a timer running, etc) with a community of people doing the same thing. In these speedruns of video games, there sometimes exist tricks/glitches that have very small frame windows to be executed. For example, I may have to hit the X or the O button on ONE particular frame to do a trick correctly. It seems the longer my Playstation 2 is on, the harder it becomes to perform these frame-perfect (the game runs at 60 frames per second) tricks. I wonder if it is because of thermal throttling. So, my question: Is thermal throttling a thing that is possible on the Playstation or the Playstation 2? If you have any proof for either side (technical manuals or something), please post that along with your answer. Thanks!
  4. I was editing my post. I misunderstood you, thinking you were confused as to who the OP is. But, good one. Teehee. Anyways, I did check my own thread, and many others around the internet, and I have not really gotten anywhere. Hence why I posted a little more information on my specific implementation. I'm not a coder. I'm trying to understand advice as best I can but you're going to have to be a little specific in advice.
  5. So I've been searching everywhere and I really cannot figure out how to do it for my own implementation. Basically: This is what the web pages look like. The text I am interested in is "Black Cartridge ~33%" and "Imaging Unit Life Remaining: 27%". What I would like to do is have these values entered into a premade Excel sheet, in order. I have tried various web extensions, and they work for the most part, but they usually use xpaths, and since some printers have slightly different web pages, those aren't a universal fix. I would much rather use something that actually pulls the entire website HTML as a string, removes the HTML tags, and then iterates through that string to grab what I need. Any thoughts of where to look? VBScript seems to be able to do this, but I do not know nearly enough about it. I am not trying to say "Write this for me!" here, I am truly trying to understand how to do this.
  6. Awesome! Thank you for the help.
  7. Hi guys! I work at a small IT department at my college. There are about 100 printers all around campus that all need to be checked twice daily for toner levels, and written on a sheet for documentation. All of this information is obtained by visiting the printer's IP address. It is then displayed on that page. What I want to try to do is script this process. Basically, I'd want it to: Visit each IP address in a list Find the words " Imaging Unit Life Remaining" and that type of thing, take the digits following, and place those numbers in a corresponding Excel spreadsheet I do not have any kind of scripting background, unfortunately, so I'm not sure of any way to do this. But it sounds very possible and, likely, very easy. Anyone know how I can go about doing this, have any advice on how, or can offer any help? Thanks guys!
  8. I was thinking either they mean that or they mean 15/603
  9. 1.) X = 12 (or -12) 2.) X = 100 (or -100) 3.) ? = 27 4.) X = 244 5.) Not sure what's being asked 6.) K = 21/4 7.) x = 44 (or -44)
  10. Hey all, I'm looking into getting a new case, preferably mid-tower. I was looking for something that has excellent sound dampening. What are some good cases to look at that are very quiet (without KILLING cooling, obviously).
