Hey all,
Bit of a lurker saying hello
I have had a read around the site and have looked at various threads of old and have learnt a few things but there is still much for me to learn.
I built a twin sitdown racer here from scrap bits and old tv's etc:
Its the first project or this type ive ever attempted.
She runs two ps2's linked up on a LAN and I have hacked a couple of logitec driving force (pre ex) type wheels. (also pc compatible)
I have dons this by mainly reading this site and learning what I can.
I got this working and have had fun but its too much hassle with visitors and game menus and the games are too complicated for quick sit down and race thrashes.
I really want sega rally. daytona etc etc so have decided I would like to strip out the ps2's and go the Sega Model 2 route.
Now heres the bad bit... I don't understand computer trickery, the terms, the jargon or any of it. I have read a few things on here and I am soooo lost by hdd, mem, graphics cards, sound cards, emulations, front ends, hyperspins etc etc.
Can anyone help me in simple terms of what computers I needs, what spec I need them and how roughly to get going? Or maybe point me to threads I have missed that do this?
Cost is a factor.. Lower the better
I can learn easily from a good teacher.
I am sorry that my first post is a question.
To introduce myself though, I am from Norfolk, England and I am a welder frabricator and car restorer that has a new hobby. My wife doesn't understand me or my "toys" lol
Thanks very much in advance
Dr Deathrow
