Satellaview BS Zelda History

Here is something I stumbled upon and never knew about…

The Satellaview (サテラビュー Saterabyū?) was a Japan-Only add-on for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System released in 1995. The name “Satellaview” is assumed to be a portmanteau of the words “satellite” and “view”. Satellaview was broadcast from April 23, 1995 to June 30, 2000. It continued receiving new games up until March 1999. It is unknown why the Satellaview never went international. The Satellaview was obviously planned in North America as the evidence is the unused expansion port at the bottom of the NTSC version of the Super Nintendo Entertainment System.

Great video about the Satellaview and one the best games for the unit BS-Zelda the long lost Zelda game hardly anyone has played…

Hercules rmx headphone cue / pfl not working in virtualdj

This tutorial is made to fix the problem of not having the headphone out and headphone volume / mix work with VirtualDJ.

First open the advance settings in the control panel for RMX and match these settings bellow.

Now in VirtualDJ go to settings and match the settings below. Make sure to un-check Apply EQ on external inputs.

Click Apply and OK and your headphone output will work.

The problem is due to how the rmx handles ASIO mode. Headphone out put only works in WDM mode.

Hercules RMX static clicking crackle popping fix with usb filter

The Story When using the Hercules RMX  I would get static kind of crackle sound from my speakers. This didn’t ever happen with the original drivers on windows xp but now with a new laptop Hp DV5Z 1200  that came with Vista. I was experiencing very low quality audio. First it thought maybe it was the drivers so I installed old drivers and new drivers but still had the same problem. Then I thought maybe it was the usb cable. Nope tried many different once with the same static crackle audio. So I went to the manufactures website looked up my laptop and found new drivers one that cought my eye was the AMD USB FILTER driver.  This fixed my problems perfectly till I upgraded to Windows 7 and I started having the same problem. So I did like i did before and went to Hp’s website and downloaded the AMD USB FILTER for Windows 7 but it didnt work. So I got on google and searched and searched and found a driver that did finally work with my Windows 7.
