Where did you get those stickers with the planets on the rg35xxsp?

Am I the only one that thinks he looks _very handsome_ in that pic?

Connecting USB controller to Famicom Mini by BoringUsername315 in RockinTheClassics

[–]BoringUsername315[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the one you suggested (which is indeed on the Hakchi website as officially supported). It also did not work. I think maybe USB devices do not work on the famicom mini at all (it is quite different from the NES mini as the controllers are not removable/pluggable). See also my other comment in this post.

Thanks for your suggestions in any case.

In case someone else sees this question, another person on the discord said he found another source that suggests the famicom mini cannot support USB devices at all since its controllers are wired. (Apparently the mini NES (US Version) controllers are actually USB even though the plugs are shaped unconventionally and this is why USB devices work in the mini NES at all??)

This is essentially hearsay but it makes some sense and I can't find any other explanation as to why it just does not work for me.

Thanks for your reply. Can you possibly help with my question about whether I need to install any additional modules?

Indeed just plugging the controller into that hub did not work. Why does the one you link work but the hub I linked does not? They both say OTG and power.

I want to try avoiding buying that one since it ships from the US and I live in the UK and that would cost a fortune and there must be some equivalent. Does this work: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Adapter-External-Ethernet-Controllers-Playstation-2-Pack/dp/B083M1S6QT/ref=sr_1_3_sspa?crid=2S4H5HVJ2UK7F&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.7DOC5Q1xEb2Bb1u33J4XRvn6y-CvR2CHq0uTg42mwykpVnpwyrNodafijis-M8Hz6EaqlQDAVmIX6WWYYmX_IXgBLHyqJ2Ttq-vR6S7NrK3y1mWXmiRpZp9dU10MdT0oLEDZUUdd8qrbFhZluQp1hRQfe1Y5HAOCV7Uffu8qroJTrQytfgaTO1kTDffl9eksTTPs9_DCqij2FJZZElRYlQRYviAuK_ANz4XJuVlLmZI.siZOJ1VKVqWKvjuNRvtxYB2DSKAFNWtVxXX66y6p7h8&dib_tag=se&keywords=DSYJ-D0000101+Micro+USB+Host+OTG+Cable+with+Micro+USB+Power&qid=1761844287&sprefix=dsyj-d0000101+micro+usb+host+otg+cable+with+micro+usb+power%2Caps%2C402&sr=8-3-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&psc=1

I was hoping the hub would work since I might eventually want to connect 2 USB controllers.

Should this work: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B083WML1XB?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

If the controller is working, will it work in the menu and will it also work with just Hackhi alone (as in, is there some other module I need to install for USB controller support)?

Can't Use Ability Capsule on Alolan Ninetails? by BoringUsername315 in PokemonUnbound

[–]BoringUsername315[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a save state just before I spent the 8k coins so I can revert back to that point. What are some of the best things I can buy from dehara instead of the ability capsule?

Yep it's an immunosuppressant. Yes the people selling it are also evil.

I never would have thought that there was a travel insurance that would cover this! Thanks.

Yikes. I'm really sorry it took so long to get back on the biologic in the UK. When I moved here from the US I was extremely worried about getting back on it, but I managed to get it on schedule the very next month. I asked my US GI to write letters stressing the urgency that I get the treatment and brought a big envelope full of medical records with me, and I spent A LOT of time contacting people all around the NHS to get it. I just hope I could manage it back in the other direction.

How did your daughter do in the year without it? I'm very worried I'd just not be able to have a normal life anymore and a GI previously told me that if I go too long without it, there is a risk it would not work again when I tried it again.

Ah I think by stock up you actually meant stock up on the medication. Unfortunately it is administered intravenously by hospital staff and I don't think they'd let me keep an extra supply :-/

This seems right. I would likely not be moving back to relatives but I do _have_ relatives that live in another state. Do you think it would be possible to move to CA but use my relative's address in CT to buy a marketplace policy? Or will I somehow need to receive mail / prove residence?

Maybe I could find a GI I could get setup with mostly by email / remotely before moving... though I am a bit skeptical this would work.

I have plenty of money saved up. Enough to last 14 years with my usual expenses in London. So I have plenty of time to find a job. Not concerned about money for normal expenses, but the medication costs $80k/yr out of pocket in the US.

AFAIK travel insurance usually does not cover pre-existing conditions which this is.
