PlusTV Plus TV Analog USB Stick TV tuner

Well it was free at fry’s essentially, 33$ plus tax with a 33$ rebate, so only the tax was really paid. I haven’t really tried this yet, but my buddy got his working on windows xp with no problems. Experiments with mythtv and linux will follow, will let you know if this is the cheap solution to a silent media pc (the old laptop vs. the old desktop)…could be! the prior two versions of the chip had full disclosure for linux as far as the drivers were concerned, we can only hope the same will be true for this model. More to come.

Mupen64_nogui mythdora

hrm been having problems getting this to work with the latest mythdora release…I can make it run in command line mode, but not as an icon on the desktop nor within the mythdora game settings..they changed it from the .19 release, running .20 now…anybody running mupen64 and having no problems? I still only get about 40% of my games to run in the windows emulator, but was hoping for better results in linux..also have been hearing about gamepad and joystick issues..does anybody who reads this try this sort of thing? lemme know, leave an email and help me out..

ECS Motherboard

AMD Sempron 3100+

1GB DDR 233 RAM

NVIDIA Geforce4 440 MX

30 GB system drive

320 GB Maxtor data drive
