Random Chat / I thought about this again last night, thought I'd post it

« on: August 26, 2011, 01:39:11 AM »

I don't know how many of you are still from arch0wl, it's been all of forever since it went down, but I thought this was interesting.

Right before Arch shut down the forums, I managed to catch him on soulseek (remember soulseek?), and ask him why, Santa Claus, why? I remember him telling me, essentially, that he was shutting down the forums because he felt the userbase wasn't up to his intelligence standards. Now, at the time, I was fifteen, tops, and I said k. Now, though, I wonder if I could have said something. I doubt he would have listened, I was something like a 200 postcount user on the forum and something of a butt, but I'll always wonder if maybe I could have convinced him to keep the forums up.

ANYWAY

other then the fact that they're still strugeling with PS one emulations.

PS1 emulation is pretty much done, a few special cases (FFIX) aside.

damn that computer must be fucking fast

It is, his specs are posted in the JewTube comments, but the Wii wouldn't be that difficult to run, due to its low computing power (I believe its main processor has been clocked at 733 MHz -_-).

Honestly, I'm not terribly surprised to see this emulated so soon (provided it's legit), given that the Wii isn't a whole lot different from the Gamecube, for which emulators exist. Pretty cool though.

No relevance to anything, but what's the hold-up with SM4? IIRC it started development when a0 was still up :/

Last night I dreamt that a0 was still up all this time, but that nobody had gone in three to five years. It was very strange. I distinctly remember seeing a post of mine asking where everyone had gone in the "most recent post box" and it was dated sometime 2006. STRANGE STUFF.

Digging my car out of its parking space only to have the snowplow d00d come by twice. I felt like a character in a sitcom.

At this point, you should sacrifice a goat to the dark gods. It might not work, but at least you can say you sacrificed a goat.

UPDATE: I think I fucked it. In my haste, I put acetone on the lens, which fucks it pretty bad. It still can read stuff, but I have a feeling that they won't read shit again. Should I try my hand at installing a new lazor assembly? I can disassemble PS2's pretty well now.

EDIT: Oh yeah, and a friend gave me a more recent PS2 that I fucked, so now I've got two bricks. Joy!

So I cleaned the lens better and cleaned off the rails the lazor slides on. The result is that it's not nearly as clicky. It still doesn't read silver PS2 discs, leading me to be almost certain that it's a pot problem, given that the disc spins every single orientation as if it's about to read the disc. Wish me luck. If this doesn't work, I'm just going to send it in and be done with it.

EDIT: Where are the pots, and how do I get to them? I've heard the underside of the laser, but I can't figure out how to get at it. I'm working on it, wish me luck.

So yeah, on to a different problem. Anyone well-versed in PS2 tech? I got a $20 one from a rummage sale, expecting to have to do some work to get it to run. I went through this tutorial to fix shit, but it only ever ran PS1 and PS2 bloo discs. I could never get silvers to run. Any suggestions? I'm at the point where I want to start farting around with the pots, but without an oscilloscope or a laser-reader-thing, I run a good chance of fucking it forever (of course, that didn't stop me from doing that with the Cube...).

EDITSVILLE: Derp derp, the model number is SPwhatever-30001 - U0, making it the second model of PS2 released stateside.

I might submit a file, if I finish it in time.

This is a family rig, so it doesn't need to run anything fancy. The most it needs to run would be Sims 2 and VisualBoy.

EDIT: This is a picture of a PCI card, but this is the port on my computer. It doesn't look like it would fit in the port. Is Newegg getting the picture from the non-PCI version of the card, or do I have an even more hideously outdated port?

EDIT EDIT (EDIT): I motion that this become the generic tech questions thread, seeing as how my problem took like three posts tops.
