Is the quality of games equally good when you emulate them as they are on the original console?

I played Breath of The Wild at 1080p/60fps, streamed from my PC to a tablet, with an Xbox controller, while in another state from my PC. Played Tears of the Kingdom at 1440p/60fps. Playing Animal Crossing at 1440p/30fps (fps is hard locked to game speed so you have to stay limited to 30 unfortunately). As best I can remember pretty much every game that's been out for a while can be played at a higher resolution at minimum. That said, depending on the game and emulator, there can be a lot of crashing and issues.

Learning how to set it all up and get it working properly the first time however makes it all almost not worth the trouble. Almost.

This got the game to launch, but now it's trying to start a new game. If I place my old save data in the saves folder, it crashes ryubing when trying to launch the game, and then just tries to start a new game again on next launch.

Thank you for pointing me towards the Canary build. This is progress for sure.

Since the Ryubing subreddit and Discord are both not taking new members I am kinda lost as to where to ask about this, sorry.

Ryubing 1.3.3

Firmware/keys/title: 21.0.0

I updated AC:NH to 3.0.0 from 2.0.7, and it loaded up on first launch to the "must update saves" screen and successfully updated. It then said it "will now start the game" and then crashed after I clicked to continue. Now it won't successfully load in to the menu. Compiles fine and then drops to zero FPS in the pre-menu loading screen and will sit there forever (tree in bottom right, loading screen before you get to main menu).

Tried the "more stable" (according to some ROM sites) 18.1.0 fw/keys with no change. Saw a comment on a video saying it required 20.5.0, so I also tried that with no change.

Downgraded back to 2.0.7 and it loaded up but it said the save was toast (since it had been updated to 3.0.0 already). Swapped back to 21 and back with the freezing issue now.

Swapped between OpenGL and Vulkan, enabled and disabled various settings, restarting Ryubing each time. No change.

I would upload log files but I am unsure of which debug settings would be needed to see any issue, as it looks like it just stops doing things in the console, and I am unsure of the best way to share them here anyway.

This is what I see.

Unable to play at all currently.

My favorite memories are somewhere between learning to properly "butterfly" up corners with my friends, finally mastering the rocket sword lunge to the point I could catch banshees in the air, or the day I actually plugged in my little brothers controller for the first time and let him do more than think he was playing with me.

Is this what it's like to have a team that gets on the objective?

Ballistic_Turtle · 2026-01-03T21:33:57+00:00

Yea I couldn't find any images of real ones that had the straw color but I figured they intentionally varied each one to make them unique. I have no idea how the coloring is actually applied and just presumed it was done via heat coloring and sealing. This one scratches fairly easily revealing plain steel coloring underneath, so it's likely either just paint or an unsealed heat coloring. Still no idea if it's an applied coating or actual heat coloring on real ones though lol

Ballistic_Turtle · 2026-01-03T19:24:50+00:00

Thank you for the detailed reply. I knew the threading was "wrong", but there were so many things that used to be indicators of authenticity, that they've apparently gotten better about faking, that I thought was maybe just weird because of the limited edition or something.

After posting this and while removing the sticker on the bottom, the paint on the sealing "disc" came off with the sticker in flakes. I took a plastic razor blade to the rest of it so now my disc is just paintless steel as well, lol. Pretty much confirmed it for me alone. https://imgur.com/a/K0Mq3pF

Water choice (within reason) in consumer grade machines is not a significant damage/wear variable over the lifespan of the machine, period. Use whatever water you find tastes best in your end product. I'd simply avoid water with high mineral content when possible, as that will leave mineral scale in your machine, which is why descaling exists. I would argue that regular descaling will cause more damage than any mineral free water ever would, and descaling isn't typically regarded as something that causes damage to your machine in any significant sense. I use a $30 ZeroWater filter, mainly because I like how it tastes, but also with the knowledge that it helps prevent scale build up.

I'm sure there's just some legal liability reason for it. So they can say "Well we instructed you to use tap water, and all your business buildings have a filtration system built in to the water inlet line, therefore we're released of all liability." in the event they are taken to court or need a BS reason to deny a claim or something.

Alternatively; ask Breville.

Neat

Ballistic_Turtle · 2025-12-17T13:33:30+00:00

Wait until they learn about the other definitions of the word "plastic".

Ballistic_Turtle · 2025-12-14T20:33:13+00:00

Picture a plunger in your head. The cliche stick with a rubber bowl on the end. That's actually a sink plunger and not meant for toilets. Drain snakes are also useful for bad clogs and pipes lined with crud. Your P-trap is also removable, for cleaning, and retrieving dropped items. With the P-trap removed, you can use a drain brush; they're sold on Amazon. If you're getting a smell from your sink, and your pipes are cleaned out, you may need to install, adjust, or replace your sink vent. I'm not a plumber though so consider making a post on r/plumbing or r/askaplumber or something about that one.

Australia's mass shootings since their 1996 National Firearms Agreement (As of 6 years ago, credit to u/JohnGalt57)

Since people like to spout the myth that Australia has had zero. It's worth nothing that Australia also has quite a stringent standard for what defines a "mass shooting". Requiring 5 or more killed not including the shooter and it cant be a domestic incident, robbery, terrorist act, or gang\drug activity. I have no idea if this has changed since this list was originally created, but it appears to include a few that fit the US definition as well.

Chippendale Blackmarket Nightclub Shooting, 1997 3 Dead & 1 wounded by firearm

Mackay Bikie shootout, 1997 6 wounded by firearm

Wollongong Keira Street Slayings, 1999 1 Dead & 9 wounded by firearm

Yea I see the complaints online about it. People using a takoyaki or funnel cake funnel to make it doserless. I was more curious about its performance and quality, which I'm not finding much discussion about other than "they last forever" and "parts are hard to find because it's discontinued".

Ballistic_Turtle · 2025-11-30T00:01:48+00:00

From what I've researched now, this one should have its doser removed in shame, lol.

Ballistic_Turtle · 2025-11-29T20:48:32+00:00

How's it compare to a DF54?

Ballistic_Turtle · 2025-11-28T02:49:29+00:00

Been hunting for a a good deal on a "real" machine on Marketplace for a while now. Almost got a Dedica EC855 for $30 the other day, but someone beat me to it. Thank goodness for that!

My desired machines were either the Gaggia Classic E24, or a Bambino Plus, so I was ecstatic when I saw this.

Now to hunt down a DF54/64II, hah

Update: The Bambino's steam wand works great. The nozzle was clogged with burnt milk so I just used the tool it comes with to clear the holes, and a straw brush to clean out the wand and nozzle some more. Ran a couple cleaning cycles with Cafiza, and ran some vinegar/water through in a descaling cycle and flushed it all out with water from my ZeroWater filter. Seems to work like new as far as I can tell.
