MSAdv wasn’t on par with the entries on Arcade. They’re awesome games but unless you’re some crazy RedBull-fueled person that has replayed the game hundreds of times there’s no way you will ever finish one with a decent amount of coins. Just cheat your way with unlimited lives like I do and enjoy :)

Sorry mate the remake literally came out one year ago and it opened the game to a brand new demographic, no need to be a downer for people who got into it thanks to the remake and maybe still have it in a wishlist waiting for a sale before buying and playing it

Dang thanks for the spoiler. Still haven’t played the games

44 pin connectors are small and fiddly, I have once shorted one myself once just by lining up the pins incorrectly. The cables are also very thin, I would not risk it. If there was a full-size Molex then it would be different

What I meant are the usual HD power connectors. Just saw that it came with a DOM - pretty snazzy for the era. Well, never mind my suggestion then. Another test might be by purchasing a replacement power supply but it might be wasted money

So it doesn’t require particular dexterity and you can put it in place with the system turned off, in complete safety. Pretty much nothing can happen. You can turn it on only when the probes are in place and you can monitor the voltages when booting

I only suggested it because you can just slam one of the probes in one of the molex connector pins. It fits just perfectly and it will stay in place without risking any short. That’s what I usually do and it works very well. From the Molex you can test both 5V and 12V. A cheap multimeter is 5-10€

I hoped it had the 12V going to a small PSU board attached somewhere and a standard ATX plug. Welp. Multimeter time

I suspect the ticking noise is coming from the PSU.
You need to check the voltages with a multimeter (some BIOSes also reported voltages but I am not sure I would call them trustworthy)
Quickest way to check this without going full multimeter-y is to swap the PSU with a known good one

I had a boatload of trouble converting a Radeon 7000 from PC to Mac. I had to switch the EEPROM (I don’t think it was SPI flash?) from 64kb to 128kb to fit the Macintosh firmware, then the card had to be flashed from the Mac as it wouldn’t work when directly flashing it from my programmer

I still need to replay Terranigma because it has been 20 years since last time and I am still grinding my teeth that I didn’t resurrect Mu

Also FF5 is one of the best and most underrated (because Americans usually skip it because of the FF3/6 thing) games in the series. Highly recommended

I do have one. It also has the switch, but it’s missing the shroud and it has a long-ish cable. It also has the screw holes in the side to attach the usual switch/shroud to it. Weird thing

I actually need to order one for my 286 case, it came without one :(
Does anyone know the part number for it?

Great game, loved unlocking all the post-game content. Too bad the second game was lacking the charm of the first one

I have used it with three GPUs (Virge GX in AGP slot + 2x Voodoo 2s) and the rest of the PCI slots filled to the brim: SCSI card, USB2 card, Gigabit Network and an AWE64 Gold. That thing never flinched. RAM is 256MB, iirc but I can’t be sure, might be 128MB.

I have a P5A and it has been always bug-free for me - but I know ASUS made a mess with revisions so I might’ve just lucked out.

Sent him a PM and told him to contact you via your website but he hasn’t logged on 68kmla.org since Aug 22. I hope he’s okay.

No problem, I can send a PM for you. What’s your user? I will send a PM to Cory asking to get it approved

I remember chatting via PM with him after registering on 68kmla about an email issue and he was very nice and super responsive. Might be worth signing up and PMing him there?

At this point I don’t think it will ever come out, and even if it does, 86Box is so far ahead that it won’t make much sense to go back to PCem
