Oh it's looking like a sad day today.

Been messing around with my old intel core 2 duo Retro Gaming Box (lenovo thinkcentre) as I've not used it for a while.

First off looks like the CR2032 Battery is dead, replaced but not shut down yet to test it's just the Battery.

Second the USB Ports are running/copying files slower then USB 1.0 Speeds, looks around 500 to 800 bytes max.

It's running "Batocera" and was running fine last time i used it (USB Ports are 2.0)

Other then that it running fine, so not sure what's going on?

Have you played Atari today.......

I have/am playing Atari Today.

My Arcade "Atari" Gamestation Pro, LED's set to Orange (Looks better in Real Life), Unit modified with Atari 2600 Woody Look, 2 USB C to A Converters so i can plug the Joysticks in via USB Cable to Save using Battery's, Also allows me to plug in a PS4/DS4 Pad via USB Cable and use that as well.

Brute Force Cooling "botched" MOD for the TrimUI Smart Pro.

Sega Saturn, PSP, Dreamcast after around 10 to 20 Minutes (In the Heat we had here in the UK) would start throttling the CPU causing frame rate drop.

So after this messy mod i can say after running "House of the Dead 2" on the Dreamcast Emulator for over an hour it has not throttled at all and TSP does not feel anywhere near as hot on the Right side as it use to.

So i say "Job Done"👍 😜

So i wanted a new Game Pad for my Linux Gaming Rig to replace a cheap rip off Xbox 360 Wireless Game pad and i wanted a Wired USB Pad.

Here we have a competition between a PS4 DualShock V2 and an MSI Force GC20 V2.

PS4 Pad On Linux (£44.99):
I prefer the layout of PS Pads, Always Have, Analog Sticks are nice and work well, But Rumble only works on a select few Games and only on Steam and it's also very weak rumble, Touch Pad only works as a mouse pad, Gyro works but have found no way to use it in Games, Works with Steam and Without Steam.
I Give it 3 out of 5 on Linux.

MSI Pad On Linux (£27.99):
Feels nice to hold, Changeable D-PAD, With Cross and Circle Type, I preferred the Circle one, Everything works as it should, Rumble Works on all Games that use it and it's a nice powerful rumble when needed to be, Works with Steam and Without Steam.
I Give it 4 out of 5 on Linux.

Both use a USB to Micro USB Cable, PS 4 Pad can be used with Bluetooth.

Winner is the Cheaper MSI Gamepad.

So i finally bought a New Monitor.

LG Curved Wide screen Monitor 32" FHD, Old Monitor was an ASUS VP278H 27" FHD Normal Flat Screen.

So I've set it all up now, and set the monitor settings to my liking on the Monitor and Nvidia's control Settings App.

You can download an App from LG to mess with more settings but as always only for Windows and Mac, So lucky i can do all the Colour Settings, Etc on the Nvidia Control App, So works Great on Manjaro Linux with Nvidia.

AMD FreeSync seems to work okay on Nvidia Too😮​

It's a Nice Monitor but now i am trying to get use to the Curved Screen, It looks really weird, Games Look Amazing on it, so I'm Happy😀​
