No, 0 doesn't count. tongue
Or what if many people made the first song and the other person did the other 6 by themself?

They need gold paint for that price.

Ok.  I was asking because he never said to remove all that,  Just peel it on the side facing the screen.  If it won't cause problems to remove it while doing the LOCA, then putting it back later (I don't know if the adhesive will restick after removal, or how it attaches to the panel) that seems best to me for decades more use.

Is the stare what I think it is, as mentioned in my post?

Probably a dumb question, but would you be able to replace the LED strip/module thingy after attaching the panel?

Screw everyone else.  You aren't interfering with them, so who cares what they think, or if they are staring.  Take the DMG if it works out better for you.

I like both of the Swamp Toxin cases, but the one above is really great.

If anyone tries it using solar curing please share your experience.

This is very relevant to my interests(job). When the Loca cures does it actually glue the frontlight to the LCD or would it just pull right up? I'm very fond of the SP method(except for the fact that I'm using an SP) because I install them horizontally after I cut the panels and it always looks great. It's difficult to see from the pictures but do you think this would be better than a top notch SP frontlight install?

I have a couple LCDs I can send you to experiment with and do a side by side comparison.  What would you charge for doing something like this?

^What they said (SNES).

I've had a similar problem on a car and I just applied super strong two-part epoxy to a screwdriver and stuck it on the screw. I had to sacrifice a screwdriver but it worked.

Oh dang. xD That would work.

Would super glue work?  I have tried it with other things and had some success, but it probably depends on how tight the screw is in there.

Damn...I wish I had a bit more heads up.

Well, at least you didn't get rid of all of it.  Are you planning on sticking with that for a while?

Regarding scalp hair, I ran around like that for too long.  Eventually I might go back to it, but for now I just need to get regular haircuts, or have it look like shit.  Since I can't cut my it how I want myself I go with the latter.

Edit:  looks good on ya!

The way the GDEMU project has been going is a little sad, IMO. That guy must have had some horrible experiences with customers, which I can fully relate to.

I agree, but I can't blame him (at least for the things I have read.  I don't think he is really doing this as much for others as he is for himself.  I don't think he really wants to do it to make money as much as he wanted to figure out a way to fix this problem (or just see if he could do what he was thinking of).  Many people seem to think of it as a product for consumers, which I don't see it as.  I have a few things like this, and often there is no support, but this just makes things more fun for me.

This, for sure, especially at this stage, unless he has experience with that sort of thing and keeping things sorted.  Everyone does what they want, though.

Sounds pretty interesting to me. I have a pair of Dreamcasts with dead GDROM drives, and this would be nice to have. I mostly play shmups on it, since the DC is pretty much the best shmup machine ever outside of the Neo Geo. wink

The dead drives are why I wanted to mention things like GDEMU.  I think there might be other projects out there like it, however I don't know how they compare. 

If I can get something to keep it alive after the GDROM drive dies my Dreamcast will probably be the only Sega console I keep around.  I prefer real hardware to emulators, but I have decided to stick with Nintendo stuff for now.  I won't be getting rid of much of my older gaming stuff, but any new purchases will be well thought out.  Dreamcast was the only Sega console I really wanted, and by the time I got around to buying one half the stuff I wanted to do I couldn't for various reasons.
