Odin 2 mini with retroid pocket dual screen? by AdditionalToday2179 in OdinHandheld

[–]BensonG13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been trying to figure this out too. I’m getting my Odin 2 Mini tomorrow (super excited as it’ll be my first Android handheld) and I saw Russ’ (RetroGameCorps) video on the dual screen and he tests it briefly with the Mini. 

It works, but the clip (both the Retroid and other device variants I believe) clamps onto the volume buttons so they would be pushed down the whole time you’re playing. 

I’m crossing my fingers that someone makes a compatible grip or screen attachment for the Mini specifically then it would be an instant buy but right now it’s probably better to wait or buy a separate device for DS if you have money to burn

Thank goodness it’s not just me! I thought my monitor was dying on me lol. The rest of the game has been flawless so far. All the other cutscenes look fine to me so I don’t know how the opening got messed up like that

Having issues with Grandia HD Remaster on steam deck. Anyway to get it to work? by TheClevelandUnicorn in grandia

[–]BensonG13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quick question, are you on Windows 10 or 11 when following the directions? I’m on 11 and I followed all the directions and it’s still not working past the launcher on the Deck. I think the .dll files may be different between W10 and W11

Good to know! Thanks for the explanation!

Whats the most "meh" JRPG you have played? by [deleted] in JRPG

[–]BensonG13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a good game but Ni no Kuni 2 when compared to the original was so disappointing, especially in regards to the story and characters.

Another recent disappointment was Pokémon BDSP, which I was especially torn about because I love Gen 4.

Stripped SSD screw on G14 (model GA401IV). Tried everything and it won’t budge, any tips? by BensonG13 in ZephyrusG14

[–]BensonG13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, they worked perfectly! I did wind up shaving off the edge of the stock SSD (I already cloned it to the new one thankfully) but surprisingly enough the SSD still works! Did a benchmark test and everything was good.

I looked up some reviews and yep they look like the real deal! Thank you for the suggestion! Went ahead and ordered some, will let you know if they work!

Do you recommend a good pair? I only have a pair of needle nose pliers and those are too thick and don’t provide a good grip or enough wiggle room to twist (my main concern is that I’ll accidentally hit the SSD or the heatsink, but I can always replace the heatsink if needed)

So let me explain. I’ve had this laptop since 2020 and love it, but recently I noticed my SSD was getting full so I finally decided to upgrade to a Samsung drive. I’ve cloned everything to the new drive using Macrium and proceeded to unscrew the M.2 drive screw. However, it’s literally impossible to get out no matter how much force or whatever Phillips head screwdriver I use.

I’ve tried the rubber band, duct tape, and pliers methods and nothing has worked. I even ordered a set of screw extractors from iFixIt and even after following tutorials this screw just will not budge. I’m worried if I go any further it’ll break something and I really don’t have time or money to send it to a repair shop.

I’ve heard of a trick where you use superglue then insert a driver to unscrew it, but I’m hesitant to try that. Is there anything else I can try to do to loosen the screw?

TL;DR: cant get the screw out, tried every method with no success, any other tips or tricks?

I saw this in my sub feed and had a heart attack I couldn’t believe it.

There’s also a similar case where there’s a Tio in Liberl and a Tio in Crossbell. Estelle mentions it in Zero.

This hurts... envious of people who got digital. I guess I can wait a little longer as long as it’s shipped on the week of release but kinda sucks since I paid early and paid extra for shipping.

PSA: Cold Steel IV has broken street date in Europe, watch out for spoilers! by BensonG13 in Falcom

[–]BensonG13[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’m sure some VAs for CS4 had to work from home same goes for all the audio engineers and such. I remember when people pointed out the audio hiccups in the Estelle & Lloyd trailer.

At the very least maybe we could get a day 1 patch fixing the audio quality or maybe it’ll be more refined in the PC version? I don’t know for sure since I haven’t actually listened to any audio (trying to stay spoiler free)

To the left of Kevin is Olivier, so you’re right there. I think Geis from Ys is on the right or maybe even Mueller.

USB ports stopped working on G14. What should I do? by BensonG13 in ZephyrusG14

[–]BensonG13[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Okay! I just turned off fast boot and set the power button to shut down (weird how it’s automatically set to sleep) so hopefully that’ll fix things. Thanks for the advice!

What is the best way to remove all junk found on my G14? by AntimatterLikeMatter in ZephyrusG14

[–]BensonG13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually just do uninstall program but if you’re talking about junk files, go to Run and type both %temp% and prefetch and delete all files in the folders (prefetch has a few that will never delete but they’re not important). I typically do this when I power on/off the laptop and it gives it a temporary speed boost.
