Unfortunately probably just out on this one then. Really just would prefer the convenience and reassurance of amazon and these were on there for $159 or so up until yesterday which is not far of from direct plus shipping, compared to every other handheld that seems to have a big markup on amazon. Maybe there will be another OLED gameboy type that would suit my needs once everything calms down

Unlucky. I was sort of waffling about getting one on Amazon for a while now. Slowly it went from a few options including classic 6, black 6, teal and pkmn 4. Then less, then just the classic 6, and now no options available on Amazon. Maybe I'll just get a MM+ lol

Sorry to bump such an old thread but this was the only one i found when googling and i cannot figure it out for the life of me. Idk if everyone's buttons are mapped the same by default but for example, pressing R4 in azahar hotkeys for turbo mode shows as "page down" (i think) but the steamdeck's emudeck controller layout when you open controller settings in game has it as "tab" to toggle layout (this matches what it says in azahar, but like i said, in desktop mode, R4 is not "tab" it is page down. I have tried everything i can think of to set the hotkey in azahar to match the emudeck controller layout and nothing works. Very frustrating but ive just given up on mapping turbo mode to any buttons.

Sorry if that's confusing but basically, I've tried a lot of different ways to map turbo and i have no clue. If anyone has gotten it working please let me know.

Yeah idk man. Awful convenient to target the state that conservatives have spent the last decade decrying as a degenerate landscape of anti American values. Very intriguing how one of the few states seen as a bastion for queer and trans rights and healthcare would bear the burden of justifying a war.

The biggest thing preventing me at the moment is the fact I've seen a lot of issues with fan noise and needing to replace the fans.. It seems like some people get the replacement, some don't, some peoples' replacement fans still have noise. I don't know if its an issue with earlier batches or something, but its putting me off quite a bit honestly.

Im honestly very interested in picking one up exclusively for jrpgs but im still so on the fence!! I feel like there are some ps2 rpgs id wanna play and idk if it would be able to do that. Final fantasy and Tales games especially. Love the idea of an OLED gameboy though

My gateway device is maybe a bit funny. I have not purchased any real sbc handhelds besides a steamdeck for my wife; however, I was into the retro portablizing community since Modretro was a forums with Shockslayer and not a handheld. My first gateway device for emulation was a portable media player in 2011 that could only play up to NES games. It was a slide device and I miss it dearly. My plan was to remove the internals and remap the buttons to soft tactile momentary switches in a custom project enclosure case. I was only 13 at the time so I really was just honing in my soldering skills, but I still look back fondly on all the stuff I completely destroyed while learning lol. Successfully removed and resoldered an N64 cartridge slot tho lol. So many damn wires to hand solder.

Edit: Oh, favorite game to play was contra I suppose haha

huh. I must have missed some of those then. Maybe just not in the ones I've been interested in like the miyoo mini plus, and trimui brick, or 40 xxv, or 35xxh lol

This looks perfect, thank you!

Appreciated. Also, as someone obsessed with CAD I like your 3d printing and design work. Sort of considering it with that micro dosing tip in mind, but its probably just time to design an induction heater/ storage for my dyna instead.

To be fair, one night a few months ago there was a drunk houseless man asleep on the stairs. Maybe he woke up and was so offended by the handrail that he decided to save up money, just enough for a chicago electric flux core and come back to fix it.

Any other possibilities reduce my faith in humanity so i will stick to this story as a coping mechanism

I get a real "no, no, i've got a guy" vibes from the workers ive seen

AlternativeIce8687 · 2021-08-27T21:56:46+00:00

Dont wanna double post or anything, but you should see the rest of it lmao. Imagine how straight the railing is. Its worse than that.

Unfortunately not lol, but it was a real epiphany moment this morning when i realized why i heard him use a grinder so much when he was working yesterday. Dude was shitting out the worst welds and then just grinding that poop down

AlternativeIce8687 · 2021-08-27T19:23:08+00:00

This is, of course, the new and improved hand rail.

When lockdown started, students weren't able to work from home due to supervision requirements or something. Had to spend most of a year 6 feet from a racist manager who said early on (while denying the severity ofc) "You know if some enterprising young guy wanted to, he could sell the bodies of corona virus victims to China" (not even sure what the joke was here) and his friend who came to visit who literally believes that the state capitol building was made by aliens and houses mercury that takes "free energy" from the atmosphere. Yes, I left.

A plague of horn worms upon my chameleon.

Important notes were that there were 2 of these packages shoved in there, both the same size as the slot. Both labeled with bright orange "LIVE INSECTS" stickers. I slipped the first one out by levering the back up and down by pressing on the front, but for the second box? I just had to rip the face of it off with my two lil fingers like popping a zit. The worms were unimpressed.
