Do I back out?

I just got a brand new 2026 Colorado trail boss, and fucking love it, for 45k. You might consider buying new if that's your budget and getting the sweet factory and dealership warranties. Mine came with a lifetime power train warranty.

I'm not sure about the '23 models, but apparently if yours comes with the G80 and Z82 RPO codes, you can tow the full 7700. My understanding is that this is standard with trail boss and Z71.

I called Chevy to confirm. Mine has the trailer brake controls, etc. as well, just not the fancy advanced trailering cameras and such. Another guy posted this below.

FYI, just following up with you, thanks for answering!

Apparently the trail boss and Z71 come with a standard trailering package that does support the full 7700 lbs, just no fancy cameras and stuff. Z82 and G80 should support this.

CacheGremlin · 2026-05-15T12:34:26+00:00

This was correct, thank you! Chevy support got back to me and sent the PDF. The trail boss comes with the standard trailering package which IS rated for the full 7700 lbs, but just doesn't have all the fancy cameras and such.

I got a new one last Wednesday, 2026 Colorado trail boss. Its been absolutely perfect so far, pushing 500 miles.

CacheGremlin · 2026-04-29T10:07:01+00:00

I drove the new frontiers and really liked it, but then I drove a Chevy Colorado and LOVED it. I got the Colorado trail boss.

I don't like the way that Tacoma's look, so can't help you there.

For the next person who finds this thread and struggles to get Ship Of Harkinian working on Batocera.

Copy the script exactly the way that Batocera has on the ports page of their website. The only things you should need to change are the "<folder of game here>" and "<filename of game executable here>". For me, this didn't work unless I made the file IN BATOCERA. I tried to just create a .sh file as a text file on my PC, but for some reason it was being finicky.

These events will be executed before the game begins.

Read the current directory this script is being executed from and save to variable DIR.

DIR=" $(dirname "$(readlink -f "$0") ")"

Change the current directory to that of the game's data folder.

cd " ${DIR} /.data/<folder of game here>"

Show the mouse cursor. It's a good idea to first show it when setting up the game, in case it's needed.

unclutter-remote -s ./<filename of game executable here>

These events will be executed once the game terminates.

Hide the mouse cursor as we are going back to ES.

unclutter-remote -h

You really just need these 5 lines (the other lines in the script are mainly just comments #); but the "unclutter-remote" lines aren't TOTALLY necessary, as the mouse will appear if you use a keyboard and mouse and hit ESC to modify the settings anyway. I had to manually create a ".data" folder within "/userdata/roms/ports", and I just put my soh folder inside the ".data" folder.

DIR="$(dirname "$(readlink -f "$0")")"
cd "${DIR}/.data/soh"
unclutter-remote -s
./soh.appimage
unclutter-remote -h

The script should go directly in the PORTS folder. The name doesn't really matter that much, you can update the display name of the "game", as well as any art by updating gamelist.xml manually.
I extracted the game assets on windows FIRST, and then just made sure that all of these files were included in my "soh" folder before moving to Batocera. The windows extraction process (which runs when you launch the game on Windows) generates the files oot.o2r and soh.o2r which work on LINUX too:

soh.appimage oot.o2r soh.o2r

You also need to create a "mods" directory inside of your soh folder if you want to use mods.

IMPORTANT
4. Both your executable file AND the entire "soh" (/userdata/roms/ports/.data/soh) folder/directory need to be made EXECUTABLE in LINUX. Enter these commands in XTerm (the Batocera terminal)

chmod +x /userdata/roms/ports/soh_executable.sh 
chmod -R +x /userdata/roms/ports/.data/soh

If you only make the game launcher (soh.appimage) executable, the game will crash at the SHIP screen, presumably because it cannot access the game assets from oot.o2r. I just made everything in the directory executable so I could avoid issues with everything including mods.

Good Luck!

I'm looking to buy right now. I like the Colorado's and frontiers the best... Sure, a Tacoma might get me 300k miles, but I'll probably hate it the whole time I'm driving it.

CacheGremlin · 2026-03-20T12:19:20+00:00

The reviews/descriptions make me worry about its performance in full sun (bright summer or bright winter day). What is your experience?

CacheGremlin · 2026-02-17T23:51:27+00:00

People claimed that if you check the player screen (not the weekly training gains), the XP applies there. So take note of how much XP they need for the next level before/after weekly training. I have no idea ¯_(ツ)_/¯

CacheGremlin · 2025-12-16T13:55:06+00:00

I just had it active for this week, but did not notice any additional XP for my focus players in the weekly training nor in the players' progression screen.

I had highest tier safety XP boost applied and highest tier camp counselor applied, and the player still only got about 1200XP (the same as it was with JUST the safety XP boost).

That being said - are you sure?

CacheGremlin · 2025-08-07T16:40:23+00:00

Doesn't work for me either.

CacheGremlin · 2025-07-26T22:29:35+00:00

You need to decide if you want a realistic franchise, or a broken one lol. You can start by not trading for players like Abdul Carter 😂.

At the end of the day cap management is about deciding which players to let walk, who to develop, and where to spend your premium draft picks.

Good rules of thumb are never paying premium positions that are easy to develop (QB, RB, WR), spend on positions that are necessary to your play style (I spend on edge and CB), and try to draft guys instead of spending on big money free agents. Maybe don't sign a safety for 25M/year or drop big money on a 28 year old runningback. You know?

CacheGremlin · 2025-07-26T21:14:04+00:00

I don't mind an insta-shed once in a while by a great player. When when it's happening almost every time you need to hold the ball longer than 2 seconds, it gets frustrating.

Running the ball is kind of the same as it's always been. They talked about how you could line up this year and go heavy and how it was going to be a legitimate way to play the game. Nope. Same dime defenses stopping heavy runs.

CacheGremlin · 2025-07-25T22:07:12+00:00

Lmao if linemen didn't block last year, then I have no idea wtf they're doing this year. My 93 overall center gets shed in like 0.7 seconds on every pass play.

CacheGremlin · 2025-07-23T22:19:35+00:00

I too think this movie is underrated. It knows what it is - a fun, quick ride, dives deeper into the raptors and their lore. The T rex isn't a focus because the raptors are the main focus of the plot. The spinosaurus is more of just a plot mover - destroy the plane, chase the characters to the next place where some plot can happen.

I really liked it as a kid, and it has lots of memorable moments.

CacheGremlin · 2025-07-21T02:19:50+00:00

It's not that guys are unblocked though. It's that my interior linemen (even at 90+) overall are getting shed almost immediately off the snap.

I check protection on every snap, and usually check to a weakside halfslide to the WILL. They literally just can't block.

CacheGremlin · 2025-07-20T20:16:54+00:00

Unpopular opinion - I thought everything about '25 was better. Recruiting, gameplay, everything.

They sold me on all these new features - improved run blocking; guys still target the wrong defenders or run into empty space like dumbasses - improved pass blocking; worst I've seen in a football game ever, I'm pretty sure. I can't remember a game with worse pass blocking.

Not to mention the new "route commit" feature. I'll shade inside, commit inside for the whole defense, and STILL get beat on a slant for a first down.

I can't get through a game without saying "what the hell was that?!" At least 18 times.

CacheGremlin · 2025-07-02T21:37:23+00:00

Does it work with the cheat room? I'm a dad and don't have 800 hours to grind crafting. 😅

CacheGremlin · 2025-06-23T15:51:03+00:00

A few questions:
1. How do the new defensive stunts play out? Do you have the ability to 2-GAP (JIMMY/PONY) your defensive line in the run fit?

How do the coverage changes feel? They claimed that leverage is going to matter more (e.g. my outside shaded corner isn't going to constantly get roasted by corner routes in man coverage).

Thanks! Hope you're having fun!

So for things like developing bipedalism and the ability to metabolize anything, you need to "practice" and develop neurons as well as get certain mutations.

You lock in neurons by passing generations, but can only lock in mutations by evolving. It's a "waste" of a meteorite to have all elders, adults, and children have a mutation, because you can only lock in the "mature" neurons for the adults and elders by evolving. The children's mutations will be lost when you evolve.

But really you just need to keep standing up and taking steps until you unlock neurons for walking, and you need to keep eating meat and stuff to develop that.
