A 30 game NES library vs. the entire NES and SNES libraries plus Mario Kart and a few other N64 titles...2 controller ports vs 4 controller ports...yeah, I'm good with it looking like a Raspberry Pi instead of a tiny NES. :bow:...

No love for Secret of Mana yet? Blasphemy! ...oops, didn't see page 2. But still, Secret of mana! Also, there are a few game sites that list their top 100/50/25/etc SNES games of all time. I used it when building my emulator library....

Did you ever get it working? I don't use DOSBox for it, I use ScummVM for all the KQ and old LucasArts point and click games. But I'm also running it on my Raspberry Pi emulator box and not my desktop. I think ScummVM works on both, though....

re: question about school gun free zones

While we're being snarky, sir, you need to learn to read. The provisions in C4 and C5 are different. That's why they're in entirely different provisions: 4 and 5. One doesn't affect the other. C4 states that it is legal to carry a gun within 1000 feet of a school if it is entirely within private ...

I'd prefer police be able to immediately pull a guy off the street for carrying concealed without a permit. And it also requires that people who are going to legally carry concealed have to at least sit through training on the legal aspects. I can't tell you how many misconceptions about what is ...
It depends on clothing for me. I mix it up between IWB, OWB (rarely) at 7 or 8:00 because I'm a lefty, and a shoulder holster. I have to keep in practice on a good clear and draw for all three....

Eh, no skin off our backs. Just don't get it from someone who says they can do it in an afternoon, or over dinner, or any BS like that. I had a few friends tell me they had that offered and it scares the sh!t out of me. When I started to explain the legalities they had to know, and how much they "kn...

I'm one of the ones who believes in personal responsibility for self-defense. That's not a gun for everyone, just some type of force multiplier, some practice with the force multiplier you choose, and situational awareness. Hell, it might not even be a force multiplier. Maybe you just practice runni...

Haven't picked up a window unit yet, that will be part of the package. I'm considering a Frigidaire FFRA0511R1 (5000 BTU 115V), not sure of power draw besides that it's a 115V unit. We just want to be able to cool one bedroom that we'll all sleep in during outages. I'm hoping not to go over 600 w...

Generator recommendations?

Posted by NewtonD on 7/6/15 at 9:45 pm
I'm trying to put together an inexpensive rig to run a window AC unit, our fridge, a few lights, and our phone chargers. I've never used a generator before and have no idea what to look for. I need to keep the budget low on this so I don't have to sell any guns :D Any recommendations?...
