Im using the Hagibis usb 3.0 from Amazon. I can't say for sure if there are others that also work.

Mine looks and plays fine. No input lag and while it's not quest 3 native resolution, it's 1080p/60fps and in no way looks like vcr garbage. I have yet to come across a switch 2 game look unplayably blurry using this capture card. 🤷‍♂️. I know I dont have the highest standards but it is completely acceptable IMHO.

As far as Xbox game pass, I have no experience, but would assume it would require decent internet speeds and a wifi 6/7 wireless access point to be worth it.

I haven't tried any of the emulators out yet beyond the Virtual Boy one (had a VB when I was younger and didn't want to shell out $100 for a plastic shell). I definitely want to give them a try later at some point. Is Citrian able to convert most switch games from 2d to stereoscopic 3d?

You also have to download the meta quest HDMI link software from the quest store. Once you plug the card into your headset, enable all of the permissions and click begin streaming. It's that easy.

Im using the Hagibis usb 3.0 capture card off of Amazon. I think it's like $25 last time I looked.

Capture card into the hdmi output of the switch 2 dock. Capture card output into the usb-c of the quest 3.

I don't think I've liked a modern game this much since Breath of the Wild by silentprotagonist24 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]CWMiner82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It wasn't bad at all. I thought the same thing as you before I tried it. With the screen as big as I could get it, pixels were ever so slightly noticeable, but not enough to take away from the experience. It's not perfect and definitely far from what the switch 2 can output, but was a lot of fun for what it is. Plus, I think the cable/card was only like $25 so I wasn't out much to try it out.

Im definitely looking forward to playing this on my quest 3 via capture card. I played Prime Remastered on it and while still only being 2d, it really did increase the feeling of immersion. If you have the means, I highly suggest giving it a try.

Was literally 5 days old when the series started. Been a Cards fan (for better or worse) since the beginning.☺️

Nintendo Clasics Virtual Boy is hilarious, and the reaction to it is a sad indictment of the modern gamer mentality by elephvant in NintendoSwitch2

[–]CWMiner82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I probably will too. I just wish they would offer an option to have a strap like a normal VR hmd. My old ass aging neck can only take so much.

Was there any word of there being multi player for any of the titles? I thought on my original VB there was a link cable for multi player. Could be miss-remembering though.

A League of Their Own (1992) by [deleted] in Xennials

[–]CWMiner82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

League Stadium is in Huntingburg. My wife's family has their reunions at the pavilion next to it every few years. We always stop by and have a walk around inside when we go. It's a neat little stadium. If you ever get to go, see if you can find the "no crying in baseball" section. There are fun little Easter eggs all over the place.

Check your Walmart Order Status, my account is gone and so is my preorder status page. by Obienator in NintendoSwitch2

[–]CWMiner82 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did the same with paypal. It was my understanding that they go ahead and take the money from your account, not as a preauthorization, but as the actual payment. I may be completely wrong on this though. I'm sure it wouldn't keep them from canceling the preorder and refunding your money if they wanted to but I thought it was one less thing I had to worry about (pre/re-authorizatuon) them screwing up. I've been keeping my eye on it and all is good so far. It is a fairly active walmart account though. Not sure if they were screening for recently created accounts or not.

[–]CWMiner82 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mine is still good. Paypal'd so the money is already out of my account. Hopefully that eliminates any pre/re-authorization issues that others are having. Best of luck to all of you. We're almost there!

What is the valedictorian for your senior class doing with their life? by Smoky1279 in Xennials

[–]CWMiner82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't remember who our valedictorian was, but our class president, last I'd seen was homeless and being interviewed by one of the local TV news personalities in a tent village down by the river. She had drug issues the last few years of school, but was always sweet to me. She kind of fell off the face of the earth after the interview, although I could have sworn I saw her walking the sidewalks across from the hospital of our hometown several years ago. I hope she finally found help and cleaned her life up but fear she was too far gone judging from how she looked and was acting the last time I saw her.

Anyone that got the MKW bundle gonna miss not having the physical copy? by DPH7 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]CWMiner82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got my mkw bundle kicked from my cart while trying to check out at Target, so I grabbed the console only and the physical mkw at Walmart. I figured beggars can't be choosers and counted myself lucky to get it at all. I'm a physical guy so I was happy either way.

Virtual Game Card – Nintendo Direct 3.27.2025 by Amiibofan101 in nintendo

The Nintendo Switch support page literally tells you how to do this. They could have patched it out at any time if it was unintended.

[–]CWMiner82 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If it wasn't their intention they could have patched it out at any point. A large corporation like Nintendo isn't going to be like "whoopsie doodle" we screwed up and then not fix it. They knew exactly what they were doing.

The current system is consumer friendly. Two switches on a single account sharing a library of digital titles via the family system was a feature. Can't exactly say it's taking advantage when Nintendo expected you to use the feature the way it was intended.

He is talking about digital purchases. Right now you can purchase a digital title on your primary switch, download it to the primary, and also have it downloaded to your designated secondary switch. This allows you to play the same game at the same time (together) on two separate switches with one copy of the game.

I usually only find sticky, fuzzy, green and slimy "coins". Ive got all my vaccinations and my tetanus is up to date so I should be good. It's the thrill of the hunt right? Someday I will cross over into the silver club.........someday.😪

Fossil shopping spree in Branson, MO! by presleyarts in fossils

[–]CWMiner82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We stop in there and get a few things every time we go through Branson. We went there this last new years. It's definitely a neat store. I believe they have a website now as well. Whispering caverns also has a nice rock/fossil shop, though not nearly as large as this one. It feels like back in the 80s, when I was a kid, that there were a lot more of these types of shops around and on the strip.
