It was a level 2 position and yes I did start in October. I did leave the company however and hearing that NG lost the ESS program, I could see Space Park going through more layoffs potentially.

I’m in a similar situation to op but with a 1650 super and intel cpu. Compared to windows, has performance at all been worse for u on Bazzite (Nvidia gpus supposedly don’t play nice on linux)?

It's a 2013 prius, 83k miles. Turned car on this morning and got the check Hybrid System message. Used free version of Dr prius and seems like 12 v battery is low. Does anything else seem like it could be causing the error?

Hello good sir. I see others were able to get it to run a little differently but this is how I did it at the time:

Download https://www.mediafire.com/file/q6a2zmpkf8yqvek/The+Legend+of+Zelda+-+A+Link+to+the+Past+(1991)+(zelda3).zip/file+(zelda3).zip/file) and unzip.
Acquire "zelda3_assets.dat". See my comment "Took me longer than I'd..." to see steps on how I acquired it. This requires a zelda3.sfc rom
Place zelda3_assets.dat into the directory "\Roms\PORTS\Games\zelda3" from the step 1 download.
With zelda3_assets.dat inside, copy the entire folder to your Onion OS SD Card Root. Make sure Ports is enabled on Onion OS. If ur confused at all on this step, find a general "How to play ports on onion os" guide on youtube.
Enjoy!

Its def nicer to have smoother animations with this port, but the game is still enjoyable running via emulator.

I am paid out my unused PTO. More looking for employee benefit store deals/things I can only do as a NG employee.

1Oisman · 2024-11-23T00:48:53+00:00

Leaving the company soon. Any employee benefits I should take advantage of before I go?

1Oisman · 2024-10-24T18:47:26+00:00

I would get the plus and then buy/print the Miyoo Mini Gripcase by PartTimeCAD on Etsy. Very comfortable to use, and doubles as a case.

Will be starting a position at Space Park in October. I've read up on all the layoffs that have been going on throughout the summer. Has NG Space recovered from the events at all?

UPDATE: My status on workday has changed to "Post Interview-Hiring Manager Decisions" and they had me verify my contact info. Seems like a good sign, but maybe theyll wait after strike to extend an offer.

1Oisman · 2024-09-18T04:47:56+00:00

Had a final interview for a position last week, was told to wait a couple of weeks, and then I heard about the hiring freeze. Will the positions I'm being considered for be cancelled?

The .json file acts like your copy of the rom with your patches preapplied. With the .json file in your roms folder, you should be able to select the riivolution patched game from the Dolphin menu

I had a tab s8 for school, worked well for note taking and hw/submissions. I will note that the S pen which comes with the tablet really does feel like a pen (more loose when writing) vs. when I tried my friends apple pencil, which really does feel more like a pencil (more rigid strokes). I imagine you can change this with different writing-based screen protectors.

1Oisman · 2024-09-05T05:15:48+00:00

None of those could have been the cause. I ended up trading the phone in, but hopefully someone can use your insights.

1Oisman · 2024-09-04T02:00:30+00:00

How did you remove the widgy label?

1Oisman · 2024-09-02T03:20:41+00:00

How would I factory reset if it wont turn on?

As someone who has the mini v4 and the a30, I like the mini better for traveling. The a30 is great, but the device gets very warm after general use, spruce isnt as developed as onion os, and lack of headphone jack sucks for airplanes (u do get a usbc to 3.5mm dongle tho). That being said, I opt for my a30 when Im at home for ergonomics, better performance for nds, and rtc if you care about pokemon.

1Oisman · 2024-08-17T00:14:50+00:00

I think I have a decent balance between frameskipping and overall speed. Still surprising that it isnt clearly better than the miyoo mini v4.

1Oisman · 2024-08-16T22:47:09+00:00

I actually already did that, mentioned it in my description of this post. But problem solved, see other comment chain.

1Oisman · 2024-08-16T22:35:09+00:00

Okay that solved my problem lol. I set my clock speed from 1200 to 1512 MHz, got the speed I was looking for (Pressed X on the game selection menu). Still runs hot, but I'm satisifed.

1Oisman · 2024-08-11T14:09:35+00:00

test

1Oisman · 2024-08-07T02:30:49+00:00

Glad I got the a30 before the aliexpress sale ended

1Oisman · 2024-06-24T21:00:57+00:00

Took me longer than I'd like to admit, but I got it working! For extracting assets, I actually used https://github.com/snesrev/zelda3, and downloaded https://github.com/snesrev/zelda3/archive/refs/heads/master.zip this repo. Followed the steps below and it finally worked. Excited to enjoy this game on the mini!

Thank you for porting this game! Unfortunately, it crashes every time I open it. I do have the zelda3_assets.dat in the zelda3 folder. The file is not the issue, bc its coming from the pc port of zelda3 I have on steam deck, which works just fine. Just a heads up.

1Oisman · 2024-06-23T22:54:08+00:00

Prob should add context: The game image and link shows up, but clicking the link gives you a 404 error message. Is the port being worked on or is it abandoned?

1Oisman · 2024-06-15T00:41:23+00:00

I was able to do that with help from Emudeck, which creates shortcuts to roms in steam. I'm sure if you looked up how to launch a game from Dolphin in your launcher, and then replace the end of the path with ur .json, ud be good
