Awesome choice Heather! I'd call that the most effective way to protect your property. Sigh, if only our regulations allowed... :(

Some great purchases there guys, GL with the reworking Pablo :thumbsup:

Nice aquisitions there Buzzfuzz & GaryED50 :cool:

I picked up some little goodies at a Car boot sale this morning, not much Gaming stuff there today, just some old tatty PS1's and lots of old PS games...

No Amiga stuff :(

But I did find these useful cards & USB Wireless Keypad in someones box of bits:

And the USB Keypad works perfect with my A600 via the Subway USB :bowdown:

Nice one! I like the design on Glock pistols.

Now remember that it doesn't work with either CRTs or LCDs - unless you want to shoot the telly anyways. :p :)

I'm not quite sure, my friend.

Try using Anaiis instead of Poseidon, it may work!

As for something new... I bought new furniture for my living room today. I also bought my first pistol, a 9mm Glock 26. I know people sometimes don't understand Americans with their guns. I purchased this for shooting paper targets... and to protect my retro collection. :lol:

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Heather

Got this really really nice semi-old sound card.
Sound is great, very good quality as far as I can tell.

Another big plus is the wavetable header inside the break-out box where my DB60XG clone daughter board fits like it was designed specifically for it. Much nicer than having it dangling on the Turtle Beach PCI card I used previously. Also MIDI connectors in the front for attaching my Roland MT-100.

Drivers exist for Windows XP and Vista. However, these drivers also worked just fine on Windows 7 64bit!
This makes it a more or less perfect card for running DOSBOX on a modern system with great MIDI capability. Joy!

And all this for the price of two pints, in Sweden anyway. Or if you prefer: one pint in Norway, or three maybe four pints in UK. :D

Not my pictures though.

I still have my DM 6 Fire in a drawer somewhere, awesome card indeed :thumbsup:

Picked up a new monitor yesterday.
Sony Bravia EX310BU 22 Inch Full HD Freeview LED

Costco have it on sale for £200 instead of £300 they're meant to be with a nice 5 yr warranty. (Even rang my old AV Store to see if they could price match, which they couldn't do)

Really surprised by it, 1080p for my PC, Playstation 2 and Xbox 1 work really sharp and clear through component on it. And best of all, my Amiga, MegaDrive and NES have never looked so vivid and sharp. Even manages to remove the blurry fuzz from composite connections, whilst still looking natural and smooth.

Oh yeah, Amiga high-res interlace mode through rgb scart works perfect, mouse moves through the screen really nicely without any tearing going on.

Another nice feature, it allows you to set the screen size and adjust everything and every input is treated individually, so my Mega drive is fully full screen without having to adjust when my miggy is switched on :cool:

Overall, perfect retro monitor/tv for me :thumbsup: will take some screenshots tonight. Results are outstanding.
