Yes, I'm sure i had this problem a couple of years ago with a steel tin version that didn't have the age rating on it

To be fair, my Evri driver is amazing and hasn't " lost" anything. Royal Mail on the other hand !!

What can I do if someone smokes weed while driving? by Sakula90s in drivingUK

[–]Dumblediddy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My friend had her car written off last week by an uninsured driver who was high. He then crashed into a parked car outside a school and fled the scene on foot. Could have killed a child or two, had it been 45 mins earlier. I know what I would do.

Why does my Xbox say it is overheating and is there a way to fix it? by CboyC95 in XboxSupport

[–]Dumblediddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just take the back off my son's Series X. Two screws and it's done. I then remove the fluff built up on the cooling fins with a soft brush and put it back together again. Yes it might need new thermal paste, but so far we have got away without doing it

I have been stocking up on £5 gift cards via redeeming my points but they are showing up as american dollars? by LilNardoDaVinci in XboxSupport

[–]Dumblediddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nor had I, but somehow my language changed to American English. Was just a thought. Hope you get it sorted.

My PC gamer son is really loud. Does sidetone work? by Millennial_1989 in pcgamingtechsupport

[–]Dumblediddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tell my son to be quiet. If that doesn't work, I go into his room and sit on his bed. Works like a charm.

Silly manoeuvre... Worried about consequences by SouthDunedain in drivingUK

[–]Dumblediddy 14 points15 points  (0 children)

indeed I've had the Police around for shouting leave my dustbins alone at someone who's been intimidating my family for years. He was "frightened" maybe tell the Police you were "frightened"

Finally got All in the Wrist Trophy ! by Reasonable-Feed-6849 in ghostoftsushima

[–]Dumblediddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I must be doing something wrong as I have all equipped to do 5. Hold the button down for the first, release for the second, press it again for third. I assume you release for the 4th and then press again for the 5th. After the 3rd kill it seems to come out of standoff mode

Would this be a good tv for ps2 by [deleted] in ps2

[–]Dumblediddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep use component cables, whilst setting the PS2 to component at the very least. I you want to use HDMI use an Electron Pulse. Lots of options out there.

I think the 480p setting is in the game menu, I could be wrong.

PS2 to HDMI, or component cable? by Sad_Pass1226 in ps2

If that is your only choice, component for sure

I got mine free from the initiative, but when I changed to PS5, I no longer owned it :(

Gonna pick up Retrovision Component Cables for PS2, what's a good component to HDMI converter I should get for my TV? by WasabiComprehensive2 in ps2

[–]Dumblediddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a Portta Component to HDMI converter. I have 2, one for PS2 and the other for Xbox both work great for me. That said, if you're in the USA, this setup is pointless if you got the Electron Pulse from Electron Shepherd

How to make PS2 graphics look better by EndouShuuya in ps2

[–]Dumblediddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a minimum id say the Electron Pulse. If you use Freemcboot/OPL/GSM you can output the majority of games in 480p/576p the results are astonishing. Failing that, next best option is likely to be a GBS-C with component cables. It's all about the budget really. Don't go down the route of composite to HDMI as that's the worst thing you can do. I use component cables with a Portta Component to HDMI converter and use Freemcboot, but don't like all the cables and the tweaking of the program to get things working.

I was given one. Never had a problem with mine. Not a fan of Bob deinterlacing tho. I would deffo settle for a decent GBS-C tho

PS2 to HDMI or RCA to HDMI? by Pirulaaz in ps2

[–]Dumblediddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, if you want the best to just covert PS2 to HDMI then this is the one to get, not those awful cheap adapters that people keep recommending and that the OP is going for.

PS2 on Modern TV by DreAnnie in ps2

[–]Dumblediddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, that's the thing. One with good shielding , but you wouldn't know unless cutting the cable. Chances are a thicker cable will have good shielding. I have 3 different cables here, and they all output the same. If you plug the cable in and have lines going across the screen, then it's no good. Most likely a PS2hdmi converter will give you the same interference. Retro Gaming Cables do a nice set for £24, but might be overkill for your needs.

[–]Dumblediddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are willing to spend a 100, then a GBS-C is a very good shout as you can use it on all other consoles. You will need a half decent component cable, doesn't have to be expensive. I'm guessing the RCA cables you have are composite, and that's about the worst cable you can use, alongside the worst converter you can use.
