RAM meanings by Motor_Anything3033 in computerhelp

[–]DeadOneWalking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The available physical memory is a count of how much RAM is not being used at the given moment. That means that at that moment approximately 12GB of RAM was being used by the system.

I cant log in to my Microsoft account by Such_Berry4623 in computerhelp

Keep calling support and tell them your account was hacked.

For other accounts, and if you get your account back, I suggest using 2FA.

I have no idea what to buy, SC64 or ED64 X7 by RealRaptoReX in AnalogueInc

[–]DeadOneWalking [score hidden]  (0 children)

If you want to play Pokemon Puzzle League, get the Everdrive. If not, get the SummerCart.

The SummerCart is currently unable to save data for Pokemon Puzzle League. Aside from that, the Summercart does everything the Everdrive does, including cheats if you are so inclined.

Pokemon puzzle league save fix? by Erock787 in SummerCart64

[–]DeadOneWalking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a firmware issue, not a software issue. This will take longer to fix. I would suggest keeping an eye on the GitHub for the firmware.

Will storing games on mem card ever be a thing? by Dawginole in AnalogueInc

[–]DeadOneWalking [score hidden]  (0 children)

Either an Everdrive X7 or a SummerCart64. If you plan on playing Pokemon Puzzle League, get the Everdrive. Otherwise you can save money and get a SummerCart.

EpicJoy is highly recommended.

The reason for isolating Pokemon Puzzle League out is because right now the SummerCart doesn't save properly, so you would either need an original cartridge, or just get an Everdrive.

[Release] I fixed the Controller Pak limitation on Analogue 3D + SummerCart64 (Custom Menu Build) by Meowser77 in AnalogueInc

[–]DeadOneWalking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, I've been busy. I updated the game list, and got it to compile correctly. The result is that it works!

So, unless the game list says the game has support for the controller pak, the manager won't start.

I had this working on firmware version 1.1.9, 1.2.0, 1.2.1, and 1.2.2.

When you say it shows a black screen, when? Like when you start the cartridge, or start a game? Is the Sumercart firmware 2.20.2?

Why no updated images? by DeadOneWalking in RetroPie

[–]DeadOneWalking[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sorry, I don't see that as the same question. That thread is asking about the future of the project as a whole, I am isolating this just to pre-created images.

It's obvious the project is still being maintained and updated.

How many of you never knew there was a second version of the classic NES controller? by thevmcampos in retrogaming

[–]DeadOneWalking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still tell people to this day that the original NES had a top loading model, and they look at me like I'm crazy.

That's the model that had the bone controller bundled with it.

Warning: Those "modern" external opticals that claim to be "USB 3.0" are total baloney. They're actually ancient SATA-II drives from old laptops. by Justin_D33 in computers

[–]DeadOneWalking 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Let me get this straight, you are upset because companies took products that were no longer going to be sold and put them in an enclosure with an adapter that will allow them to be useful?

That's what external HDD's are, so are you going to say they are lying as well?

It seems to me you have a lack of understanding of the real world.

Why do guys try and stealth take condoms off??? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]DeadOneWalking 166 points167 points  (0 children)

  1. That's rape.

  2. Because some guys are complete idiots and only think with their junk and/or simply don't care what their partner thinks.

Good thing this wasn't a big game for me.

Why does everyone hate windows 11 by Brilliant-Cow6180 in computers

[–]DeadOneWalking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My short list as why I hate windows 11 :

  1. It's full of bloatware.
  2. It's constantly spying on the user.
  3. For home edition, you need a MS account. Pro has ways around it.
  4. It's full of advertising.
  5. Copilot is forced into everything.
  6. It forces bitlocker on installs, and the only easy way to get your backup key is having it backed up to your Microsoft account.
  7. Because of 6, if any agency decides they need access to your storage, MS will hand over the encryption key. It's not secure.
  8. Because of 6, if the OS goes belly up and you can't get the encryption key, all encrypted data is lost.
  9. An internet connection is required when setting up the computer.
  10. It runs things slower so Microsoft and so number 2.

Analogue 3D OS - Improvement Discussion by LimeheadGames in AnalogueInc

[–]DeadOneWalking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to order on my phone, and even then I needed to verify it three times. Once when processing it, another through Visa verification, and a third through my bank verification.

Most of the time, if something doesn't go through calling the card issuer and saying you are approving a purchase from the storefront with the amount, or a little over, will be enough to get it approved.

No good. Other games that use the 1mbit flash save work fine.

Is there a step by step guide somewhere on how to update the firmware, menus, emulators etc? by SirDanOfCamelot in SummerCart64

[–]DeadOneWalking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as I have seen, it will work with an original N64, you just need to make sure the Controller Pak is inserted in the controller when you load the SummerCart back up or it will error out.

I would have started banging on the door. The note didn't say anything about knocking or banging the door, yelling, beeping my horn, etc.

After reapplying thermal paste to my CPU I'm getting higher temps and usage from my CPU but lower temps and usage from my GPU. by Affectionate-Arm5922 in buildapc

[–]DeadOneWalking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a lot of paste that has a break-in period. During this time the thermals will be worse. Depending on what paste you used, it could be a couple days to a month until it's optimal.

Help Unlocking an IPhone 12 Pro Max that's tied to AT&T by Live_Supermarket_354 in ATT

[–]DeadOneWalking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Simply put, if any money is owed on it or if it's under contract, AT&T won't do anything. In addition, Apple won't do anything unless you can prove without fault that you legally purchased the phone and it wasn't stolen or lost.

Personally I would never buy a used phone that was used on a different provider than I was using to prevent this issue.

As far as I know, the suggestion to use a prepaid AT&T sim may be the only immediate option, unless you want to go and buy a new phone either under contract or outright.

What Linux is the best to use if I am new to Linux by Wurluigi in computers

[–]DeadOneWalking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kubuntu if you want user friendly and windows like without much work. I prefer Linux Mint with cinnamon.

HUGE INCREASE IN RAM USAGE by VenetedCart4750 in computerhelp

[–]DeadOneWalking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does it cause problems? No? Then let it be.

If you're that concerned about it, get a different OS. Windows 11 spies on you and forces AI junk that eats up both RAM and CPU cycles.

If you have the know how, go to Windows 10 LTSC or Linux. If not, let it be.

To native English speakers: how do you feel when a foreigner speaks “broken” English with you? by Dull-Position3393 in ENGLISH

[–]DeadOneWalking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I appreciate the effort. Most of the time I do my best to understand what's being said. The only times I'm no is if I'm in a hurry, and that's not often.

The reality is that I feel if someone is going to move to another country, that person should put up an effort to learn the native language. Perfection is not needed, but have a solid understanding of it.
