    Windows NT to Windows 98 NTSC vs. FAT32

    One of my hobbies are emulation and M.A.M.E. machines, and I've got a new project. I bought one of those bartop cabinets that you see trivia games and whanot in and I'm converting it to a MAME cabinet to give to my nephews for Christmas (they come over to play my fullsize all of the time, but...

    Bag End EL-18 Driver Question

    I've got a possibility to pick up the a couple of the bare drivers from the Bag End Infrasub-18 subwoofer. I've never had the chance to audition these myself, but from what I can tell from a bit of research this is a very nice piece of hardware. The amp and crossover seem to have a good deal...

    1996 Impala SS peeling/bubbling paint

    I'm on my way to a body shop as soon as I get a chance, I'm just wondering if anyone has any experiences like this. I've got a 1996 Impala SS that I bought used in June. Carfax said no history on it, but I'm getting a problem with the paint I haven't seen before. On the rear of the front...

    Remote Procedure Call?

    I've had a problem show its ugly face on my main home PC lately. When I log on to the Internet (Net Zero dial-up) after a short period (1-5 minutes) I get a box that pops that says I am having a Remote Procedure Call (RPC) that cannot be executed, and my system will be shut down. I get a counter...

    Windows XP not seeing secondary HD?

    I got my newest order from newegg.com today and it was an 80 gb hard drive that I am using to store my media files on. Its an IDE drive. I set the jumpers on the primary IDE drive that has the OS as the master, and then jumpers on the new one as the slave. Turned the machine on, immediately went...

    Freeware Slideshow App?

    Before I go on a wild goose chase on the web looking for an application, I wanted to see if anyone here has experience with one and can point me in the right direction. I have volunteered to help a local non-profit with their annual volunteer recognition and celebration dinner. They have...

    Normalize MP3 Collection?

    I'm in the process of building a computer based, touchscreen, mp3 jukebox for my gameroom. One of the problems that I am encountering during the process of digitizing my entire CD collection is the variances in "loudness" that have been discussed many times here in the audio forum. Older CD's...

    Athlon XP 1800+ idenitified speed

    Just got myself a refurbished PC from UBid in the mail today and when I fired it up it reports the CPU speed as 1145 Mhz. I was supposed to get an Athlon CP 1800 + processor. The chip is supposed to be ~1530 Mhz but I thought I remembered hearing that the bus speed of the mobo can affect this...

    Removing veneer?

    I've got a nice pair of speaker cabinets (2 front and a sub) that I am going to refinish and use for my secondary bedroom HT. The speakers sound great, but have a hideous fake wood grain veneer on them. My plan was to remove the veneer, sand, prime, apply a lacquer gloss black finish, and then...

    Sonosub "Trainer"

    I just thought I would share a DIY project I just finished, good for someone looking for a easy, starter project or something to use up some old drivers on for a little bit of fun. Basically, I constructed my twin "mini-towers" in a total of about 2 hours of actual labor (that is, excluding...

    I know I have read some posts here in the past and have tried to use the search function with no success, but I would like to hear from Mame users and those who have made a Mame cabinet. You could say I am looking for a winter project and this would be a fun one to tinker with. Right now I...
