Best Ultimate Tech Talk Hang Out Loud Edition Season V

Godspeed!
-ud

Lizard Lick order complete! Now I just have to wait for arthong’s to release those plexi panels and I’ll be able to start my
modding project.

Just go to your local Best Buy home theater department; those guys are like wizards at home theater tech.

Last time I was there, a rep tried to sell me a $100 HDMI cable. It was braided and fine-woven. He said that at the factory, they not only test it rigorously before placing it into the box, but they test it in both directions. That is just amazing. Both directions.

I would check out the forums at avsforum.com for good info on displays and home theater stuff. :slight_smile:

yep, lol that’s why I’m asking online. Those guys are hilarious! They also wanted me to buy a USB cable for $45 because “regular USB cables won’t supply my printer with enough bandwidth when information is being sent”. LMAO.

Thx. I’ll check out avsforums

No problem now, it’s off and boxed and ready to ship tomorrow.

I honestly couldn’t tell you what the problem was, I just popped it out after dinner tonight :rofl:

One thing that has been perplexing me as of late is how the myth that controllers are region locked got propagated in the first place.

I blame Best Buy.

Sometimes I wonder if it would be possible to fit a Sanwa/Seimitsu stick, and maybe buttons too, in a TAC-2… Is there enough space? You’d need to fit a small pcb in there too (something usb or PS2)…

Send a PM to gummowned, he might be able to do something about that.

I was just thinking out loud wondering if it’s possible, no actual plans to try it in the near future. :wgrin:

Tell it to gummy anyway. Lord knows he might actually up and do it.

Currently in the middle of an “interesting” repair job. The JLF on my HRAP3 wouldn’t register up for some reason, figured I must have not reassembled it properly last time I opened the stick up. So I am, at this very moment, reassembling it while connected and in game just to make sure that nothing I do makes it stop working again.

hah, awesome.

yeah gummowned’s SMD dual strike would fit there no problem. PM him i’m sure he’ll do it :rofl:

off question, but does anyone know the pitch of the TE/SE wire harnesses shrouded headers? is it .1"?

I wouldn’t be near as worried about getting electronics to fit as I would a different stick. Looks like it’s barely 1" thick.

2.51mm Pitch.

I did a presentation today in my Speech Class about Joysticks.
Laugh.

Brought in the SFAC Arcade Stick and the HRAP.
As in the first HRAP, the one with Mirror.

Also brought a spare JLF.
Laugh.

That’s really awesome jdm714! How did you do on your presentation? What was your class’ reaction to your speech? Actually, you should upload your speech or a video of you performing. I’m certain Tech Talk would love to hear it! :bgrin:

I’d pay to see your video. No lie. :smile:

If anyone can do it, gummy can.

I would like to know how cherry switches fare out in a JLF. By all means, I’M A FUCKING BURLY MAN, and I love the hard Omron switches. But I’m just wondering if it actually changes the performance of the JLF. I’m reluctant to try it out because the cherry switches these days are crap, and I had several of them die on me.
