Thanks! This will be my first foray with a Mister and looking forward to it. Too bad work is going to be busy the next few days and not much time to dig in.

My cheap black Neoeco airbrush crapped out on me after about two years, so I ordered a red Neoeco airbrush that has .2mm, .3mm, and .5mm needles. My black one was like $25, if I recall correctly, and only had the .3mm needle. Honestly, they are pretty cheap but are decent airbrushes.

I definitely have better and more expensive airbrushes, but I mainly used the Neoeco for priming and paint color testing.

I bought Harvest Moon: Winds of Anthos and the season pass on PS5. I was interested enough in it, and for $30 for both, I'll buy it.

Ya know, I have a sneaky feeling that my CMOS battery is BAD with all the monitor flickering going on with my new/old PC I posted here. But I think I have an extra on around here somewhere. Thanks for the clue @Fien .

But also, I missed the fact that the case fan wasn't working cause it's sorta hidden, thus:

Now I got to find out how to get the fan out, and put the new one back in once it arrives.

Raspberry Pi 5 2GB and Argon One V5 case.
It's time to replace my Raspberry 4 based Kodi players, first this one to play with.
Finally I can test my home build NAS with 16Tb storage (for now).

Is there a reason why you opted with Raspberry Pi Kodi players and not players that support modern formats like HDR/Dolby Vision? Do you use it for FullHD content or also for 4k content?

RPi 5 Kodi can do HDR10 and DV (my tv don't support DV), most content is still 1080p, but i'm busy to upgarde that to 4k HDR10/DV.

Where did you get the information that RPi5 Kodi can do DV? After a quick search, it doesn't look like that. Also, DV is not DV. Even among the few devices that can do DV, only a few can do the "best" DV properly: DV7 FEL is used on a few 4k disks there are only 5 or so devices that support it properly.
HDR10 seems to be supported (but not HDR10+). Do you know if it works in conjunction with Dolby Atmos passthrough?

I did a lazy quik search, Sorry. You are right, DV is indeed not supported.
But about HDR10 it's natively supported via HDMI passthrough.
Thanks for the infomation, now i can do some research.

Had a little puzzle on my hands when I tested the RGB Blaster. Display was clean, but colors were wrong. Did some research and turns out it was my TV had the "Enhanced HDMI" option turned on. Changing it back to standard fixed it.

RGB Blaster is highly recommended if you have a Famicom. You don't have to do a risky/laborious mod on the original hardware, and it can be transported to any other Famicom as easy as a game cart swap.

A bad or dying CMOS battery won't make your monitor flicker. It'll just mess with your bios clock among other things along the line. Worst case, dead battery, no boot.

I've been running with a dying battery for 3 years now. Only hassle is some sites complain my clocks not right

I'd check yourr cables and ports... Could be your gfx card is dying or just loose.

Used VMU from Japan, one of those SD card adapters for the Dreamcast that plugs into the serial port and no its not for games, its so I can use the virtual VMU feature in openMenu, same for the used VMU.

With modern gaming being so expensive right now, I just wanted to take the time to upgrade some of my retro stuff to bring it into the 21st century.

Thanks for the link, yesterday I read/watch some stuff about DV.
I think for my self HDR10 will be enough.
But its interesting to read about it.

I guess it simulates the PPU. Can you choose pallettes and stuff? Thanks for the review.

PerryRhodan · 2026-06-14T13:17:48+0100

I bought Life is Strange & Before the Storm Remastered Editions, and True Colours Ultimate Edition in the Steam Sale for only £10.

Yep. Altera Cyclone IV. Basically does the same thing as the NESRGB mod, without the massive internal alterations.

Pallette can be changed over usb with an app called blastcfg on krikzz' site. I haven't looked into it or tried yet, and depending on how games look once I start really spending some time with it, I might not bother. I ran several games yesterday (Zelda, RC Pro Am, SMB3, Contra, Golf) once I figured the TV thing out, and they all looked just correct, nothing to fiddle with.
