Nick I have rented far too many movies where I was screwed by the leading actor appearing strictly in a cameo. To me the whole cast was a bunch of hacks. I am being forced to live in the past. Sadly my heroes are getting too old and or dying.

Most times I watch a sequel I try to watch the previous movie for context and a refresher. Honestly deviating the cast for Ghostbusters was a huge mistake. They could have had a few from the old cast and then introduce a few new members to carry the story line forward. But that's just my opinion. I mean really , having Axle Rose singling for ACDC is not ACDC anymore than Sammy Hagar singling for Van Halen is really Van Halen,more like Van Hagar or something. David Lee Roth was Van Halen, even though Eddie and Alex could play guitar and drum it was still all David Lee. And the Ghostbusters was Bill Murray et el. Just a cash grab by the film industry.

Hey, I am right there with you. It is FAR from the original, and really NOT a quality movie. I was just stating that they had the cameos of (most of) the original cast, but they were shoe-horned in.

Nothing wrong with the 80's!

I just built an emulator for my son-in-law that plays old NES, SNES, Sega Genesis, and a couple of other systems (more from the 90's) that fits all inside an old NES game cartridge.

Here is a picture of the one that I am building with some fresh hot glue. I used thin double-sided 3M foam tape under the USB hub board and Raspberry Pi Zero, but locked everything in place with hot glue.





Here is a picture of someone else's completed project.


And that other project connected and running.

That's a cool idea, I used to play Nintendo for hours on end . These new games make me mad, have to concentrate too much.

It was actually pretty easy to make. Lots of step by step videos on YouTube including links to all of the parts.

Download the software, and it does all of the work. Then it just takes a little searching to get the ROMs (easy downloads there too) and finding the Raspberry Pi Zero can be a challenge. A lot of people buy them for $5 and then sell them for more than the Pi 3.

Micro Center had a Pi Zero kit with the correct power supply, and a couple of the cables for like $25, the other cables and controllers were found on Amazon. If you want to put it in a gaming case, then the real sucky part is that the screws are very specialized and need special tools, or some creative way to remove the screws (saw a video of someone using a melted toothbrush (yeah) to make a mold of the top of one of the screws.

Or just get a different box, a Pi 3 (which needs fewer cables) and follow the same directions. You can play more game systems, have fewer cables, and have things like build in networking and bluetooth for wireless gaming.

Wow, bummer. Looks like all the links in my account are broken. I'll wait to see if they come back to life on their own.

Can anyone recommend a free online photo host that isn't a pile of garbage?

Yeah, Photobucket has become a pain. I only use it if I am wanting to share an image while I am at work (on my lunch break of course)....

I was looking into imgur.com for a possible new place moving forward. If I just shut down my Photobucket, then a number of images will just vanish from posts (here mainly, but some on AVS). I just hate when I am google searching something, it takes me to a forum talking about exactly what I want to find out, and the image links are broken because it is old.
