HyperSpin and HyperPin
Thu Nov 17, 2011 9:14 PM
I'm thinking about building a MAME cabinet and was wondering if anyone's ever setup HyperSpin? It'd be a lot more fun to run systems other than arcade games if I'm going to go through the trouble of setting up a dedicated cabinet. May also build a HyperPin after playing one this past weekend at the Houston Arcade Expo.
Thanks.

How to instantly destroy a game disc
Mon Nov 7, 2011 9:08 PM
So I had Dragon Age in my 360 S and decided to move the system from a horizontal position to a vertical position so it wasn't taking as much room on my desk. As I start to raise it, I hear a blood curdling screeching sound from the 360. I immediately put the 360 back down horizontally but it was too late. I took the disc out, only to find this:

37 downloads
The visible ring close to the edge is a new addition. Needless to say, the game no longer works. I have to say, what a CRAPPY DESIGN where you can so easily ruin a $60 game. Didn't even get to play through the game once. I guess I'm just used to other optical drive solutions where moving the unit around while spinning will NOT physically damage the disc (such as the Sony Discman and various laptops I've owned).
