Anyway, aside from gaming what else does everyone like to do? Pics of you doing said hobbies would be cool too unless pics aren't applicable to the hobby or they are inappropriate (had to include that for Barc0de )


First, I really like building, customizing, and overclocking computers. As can be seen in this thread:...

My guess is that back in cartridge days memory was at a premium. So instead of actually storing the audio files, the ROM contains commands to control the sound chip. Let's take the SNES and PS1 for example. The SNES largest cart size was around 6 MB and the Playstation had a 700 MB CD at its disposal. The SNES actually creates the music on the fly where the PS1 just plays back CD quality audio. So the PS1 just has a CD decoder and it can't actually create music? What would you call...

I've left out a lot of details to make the example story shorter.
This topic's example has been squared up, so don't grab your pitchforks.

Was stunned to find these but they sat for hours in sub zero temps so I waited for them to warm up. My usual ramble, feel free to forward to about 4 min 50 sec to see what I found.
I hook them up, cross my fingers and ....well check it out.
