Grab a taco. It is time for a technical video! Behind the Code returns with a look at NES sprites, OAM, and priority. Perhaps a few games you've been playing for years have had sprite tricks behind the scenes this whole time? Let's check 'em out. youtu.be/8M2V5Pv6_1A

now THIS is a cursed repair. the intact legs are as straight as I can get them without breaking them. I've repaired 3 legs so far and have 4 more to go (one of the pins exposed is not connected.) hope I can fix this!

Looking into modern GPUs to upgrade my gaming rig and just baffled at the current state of the market. What the heck happened here? My RTX 2070 Super from 4 years ago seems not all that far behind most modern mid-range cards. Would need to spend >$1K for substantial gains 😕

I’m very curious if adding SMD caps to the unpopulated pads at the rear of a V3 would improve power delivery/overclocking 🤔 Anyone ever seen this done or could suggest appropriate value range to try here? I’m coming up empty in my searches ⚡️

So this Voodoo2 with one pin missing on the FBI and several random ones crushed and touching each other was stuck on eBay for 3 weeks. So I decided to help it.🤷‍♂️ Straightened all crooked pins and soldered the missing leg back with a wire. And it started working right away.🤪

YouTuber Miasmark is breaking more records in the #isadoom25fps challenge! This time with a WD90C31 ISA card and a score of 40.4FPS. Check out his latest video. Now I definitely have to find some time to start cooking again 😎🔥 youtu.be/GRRt3gtcAvY

I bought three #3dfx V3 3500 cards on eBay. One “tested, working, mint” and two “untested, as-is”. Guess which one is broken 😂 Amazingly, the two as-is cards work perfectly. I figured I’d have to repair one or both.. not the “working” one 🔨
