Not sure where to post this. Probably everything else. I LOVE to tinker. I Just learned about HP thin client PCs After watching Videos of people running batocera and Prime OS on them I jumped to E Bay. I think I lucked out. I found a HP T620 Thin Client AMD GX-415GA 1.5GHz 4GB RAM 16GB Flash SSD Factory Sealed I won the bid for $32.00 free shipping.
have any of you played with a Thin Client?

Wow! Well done Yolo, sounds like progress at last!! Can't wait to see the changes

Keep it going Ond. I wanna see this thing finished in all it's glory!

Thanks for the interest!  Keen fellows like you keep me more motivated. I'm mindful you may be building one of these yourself at some point. 

This build needs a sticky thread   

I'd be happy to have the thread stickied, eventually, but not this early in the project 

More fine detail painting today.  To allow me to spray into various angles on these little parts I mount them up on some sticks. A dab of hot glue is easily removed later:

For this project I'm using various painting methods. The Tamiya model makers spray cans are high quality. I only need a little of each color. Spray quality is not quite as good as my gun, paint comes out a bit too heavy and fast but that's ok.  For really fine details I use my little airbrush:

These 3D printed letters have come up nicely after some sanding with 600-1200 (wet) grit and then painting:

I decided to hand paint some added light blue to these webs to control highlights and color better:

I use a combination of painters masking tape (low adhesion) and air-brushers fine tape (expensive!) to mask off items to be painted. The back box insert panel has been painted with a lighter blue around the speaker holes.  I'm taking my color cues from the original back box artwork:

Peeling away the air-brushers tape, nice clean lines!:

Once the paint that I applied today drys, I can put all the various parts I've been working on together!:

Have you tried forcing 512x400@57.349016 Hz 31kHz I'm a swirchres ini override file?

Warlords (4 spinners). 
Off the Wall (has Joystick option however).
Forgotten Worlds (RayB mentioned but to add to that, they double as "fire" so you'd need two "push/pull" or just "push" spinners).
Super Sprint and similar that control with 360 wheels.

Honestly, very few games so unless you have an absolute favorite (like Eric pointed out), it's not a necessity to have more that one spinner. 

Arkanoid Returns

The 3020 uses a proprietary power lead that is smaller than a typical DuPont connector. You can get an adapter to use a regular power button from here: https://store.harbinrepairs.com/index.php/product/dell-optiplex-390-3010-3020-front-panel-header-adapter-3pc-kit/

This build needs a sticky thread   

I looked at your video again, and your TV definitely doesn't like anything over 240p/480i. It cuts the bottom off anything over that, even 248p. It is clearly struggling to even sync with anything over 240p/480i (see the zigzag at top). Unsurprisingly, it seems to be an NTSC TV (says so right there), so use the NTSC monitor preset as your template.

If you've used the NTSC monitor preset to regenerate video modes properly, GM should not be selecting modes with vertical lines over 240p/480i.

An in-game log could help. That starting info screen can help too, as it provides video mode selection and screen sizing information. You can opt to hide them, but I prefer to leave them there.

Another matter is the suspected vertical collapse. Whether that line at top is foldover or not, I can't be 100% sure without a closer look, but the image definitely seems shrunken and now I notice it seems to have bit of pincushioning at the corners. It only gets worse over time, picture shrinking from top and bottom. Final stage is a single fat bright line across the middle. Replacing old caps may help and may help prevent other damage down the track.

Hey, awesome, this may be exactly what I needed.
