SentaiBrad Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Don't buy anything Seagate though. They fail more often than not. Otherwise, I have an 8TB drive for my stuff. I have plenty of room for quite a lot. Granted, I have my PSP, PS2 and PS1 games compressed with CSO's and PBP's, to save space but not use archives. So you can save space without using .rar or .7z, which makes things slower when you want to play games. As for cloud storage, I pay $5 a month for BackBlaze, unlimited storage. I don't have a folder to sync, I tell it to backup certain drives and certain file extensions (I needed to remove some of the default filters so it would back up .exe's and .dll's for games, so you'll need to go in and edit that list by default). If I need something from my storage, I just go to the website, look at the break down, go in to the drive letter that I had backed up, pick the folder or files and click send me a zip. It'll package it up for me and send it to me when it's done. In extreme cases, you can even have them put it on a thumb drive or external and they'll mail that to you, for a fee of course. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SentaiBrad Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 There was a lot here, I only read parts of responses. Even so, all the better then! Clearly it's something that works cause we both like doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vgbox Posted June 10, 2017 Author Share Posted June 10, 2017 (edited) On amazon they say the ST4000DM005 is only 5900 rpm, not 7200rpm like i thought. How important is 7200rpm for lb gaming with sharing all the roms and chds in a torrent tracker at the same time? What difference would it make? ST4000DM005 attractiveness is its price but i wouldn't want to buy something that does not fit what i need.

SentaiBrad Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 5400RPM vs 7200RPM doesn't effect it too too much. Your drive might take a bit longer to spin up if you haven't been using it, but I have a 5400RPM 8TB drive that has everything on it and it runs just fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vgbox Posted June 11, 2017 Author Share Posted June 11, 2017 (edited) I just notice that all these 3 WD hdd's now are more or less in the same price of the Seagate Barracuda HDD 4TB Sata III ST4000DM005: Western Digital Red WD40EFRX 4TB Sata III Western Digital Purple 4TB 64MB Sata III WD40PURX Western Digital Caviar Blue 4TB 64MB Sata III WD40EZRZ Is any of them better choice than ST4000DM005? Are they the latest and greatest models from WD? I know some people here are not so fond of seagate hdd's but i need to know about these specific hdd's how they fair against the seagate one. Hopefully i buy a new hdd for my lb this week. :-) Edited June 11, 2017 by vgbox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you find out if there is a full mame rom bezel pack of such somewhere then it would be lovely if you post here or pm me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vgbox Posted June 12, 2017 Author Share Posted June 12, 2017 6 minutes ago, Patham said: I don't use bezels for everything. But I like them for the old classics. I picked out Joust, Ms. Pac Man, Galaga, and Galaxian from that video and replaced what I was using with them. Otherwise I'm just using bezels from Emumovies, Mr. Do's Castle, or Progetto Snaps. May i ask why do you use bezels from different sources? Aren't emumovies contain everything? Just for art differences? I would like my bezel art to look the same in all games. I guess i'll settle for the 4:3 aspect ratio without bezels as i would like my screen to be filled by the game window as much as possible. I think someone needs to pick the ball and make left and right bezel with 4:3 aspect ratio game window for all mame and console games. Would be awesome.
