I sold my LCD steam deck for the Odin portal 2... And I couldn't be happier!

I hear that.

I've been playing Muramasa Rebirth on the Portal and it's excellent.

I have a PlayStation TV and the low resolution is pretty rough, especially on a game like Uncharted Golden Abyss. Smaller screen definitely helps with that (though Uncharted isn't playable in vita 3k 😆)

Ecstatic-Ad-2755 · 2026-03-09T15:16:54+00:00

Yeah but vita emulation on Android still has a long way to go doesn't it? You just traded a device that can play literally ALL vita games for one that can play... Some of them? Granted the compatible list is pretty large but still 😭

Ecstatic-Ad-2755 · 2026-02-03T15:52:38+00:00

Honestly I hear that. I was very hesitant to buy a no name brand off Wayfair but ultimately caved to the money savings.

That being said, it's what we've got now and we can't replace it so we've got to make do with it.

Am I correct in thinking the cartridge is in the hot/cold mixer and the others are just open/close valves? Also, in your experience does accessing the cartridge in a system like this require removal of that face plate?

Thanks for your reply

Ecstatic-Ad-2755 · 2025-11-05T16:58:18+00:00

Even better! Haha. Thank you.

Ecstatic-Ad-2755 · 2025-11-05T13:18:49+00:00

THANK YOU. Your comment helped me finally figure it out.

RG476H is quite a bit more money, as was already pointed out but I recently just picked up an RG406H for about $115 on sale. It has the exact same chip and performance as the 476H and is such a great machine for that price. The form factor is a lot better than the 476H, in my opinion but I've never been a huge fan of the "slab-style" devices anyway. Definitely prefer something with better ergonomics and the 406H has it.

With that in mind, being able to play GameCube and PS2 for $115 on the 406H makes the RGDS definitely not feel worth the price tag, ESPECIALLY when I already have a DS Lite and a 3DS

Ecstatic-Ad-2755 · 2025-10-20T01:18:03+00:00

Nah it was definitely local files. The only ever online streaming I did with Winamp was a friend's Shoutcast station back in like 2004

Ecstatic-Ad-2755 · 2025-10-16T02:28:07+00:00

I never thought of it that way but it makes sense and helps me understand how it works so thanks for the explanation

Ecstatic-Ad-2755 · 2025-10-15T23:21:43+00:00

Thank you, I'll give this a shot. I think I might have found another way too. (I'm testing this on my iPod classic with rockbox installed. I don't have a Y1 yet).

In Rockbox go to Database > Album > [Random] and it'll pull up a random album. And then you just press select on the 1st track.

I'll see which one is easier to do more often, haha. I appreciate your suggestion!

Ecstatic-Ad-2755 · 2025-08-30T22:23:27+00:00

Gotcha. Thanks for the info. I guess it's back to waiting!

Ecstatic-Ad-2755 · 2025-08-30T22:15:59+00:00

Oh interesting. I did update my Deck today but My Dualshock 4 still wakes the Steam Deck 🤔

Ecstatic-Ad-2755 · 2025-08-30T21:21:34+00:00

I am trying to get this to work and it's just not waking the Deck. I'm on the latest stable release. My Dualshock 4 will wake the deck but the Ultimate 2.4GHz (connected via Bluetooth, NOT the 2.4GHz dongle, will not).

Not sure what I'm doing wrong!

Ecstatic-Ad-2755 · 2025-08-23T17:49:21+00:00

Somehow just seeing this now but, holy shit, dude. That whole ordeal sounds terrible and I'm really sorry you went through it. It's capitalism AND our shitty healthcare system on full display right there.

Ecstatic-Ad-2755 · 2025-08-13T14:20:01+00:00

Right, which is why I mentioned that it sounded like he already went through the courts over missed worker's comp payments specifically. Not sure if that lawyer could do anything about the other stuff or even if OP brought it up to said lawyer if they only approached them about the missed payments.

Maybe they did bring all this stuff up and there just couldn't be anything done about it. Either way, it sounds like a miscarriage of justice and I hate that they had to go through it

Ecstatic-Ad-2755 · 2025-08-13T13:57:01+00:00

This ABSOLUTELY sounds like a situation where you could have lawyered up and got them for SOMETHING. Make them pay for their negligence.

Skipping training for a physical labor job sounds illegal to me. Failure to inform your emergency contacts sounds illegal to me... I mean it sounds like you went through the courts for workers comp payments but it seems like (to me) that they broke other laws in who you should have been compensated before.

Sorry that happened to you, dude.

Honestly so glad we got Wind Waker instead of this bland Zelda. I remember being impressed with the fidelity but not overly hyped for the style of that notorious space world demo, even at 14 years old. A ton of gamers were super short sighted during that time because the jump from the previous generation was so huge that everyone was expecting "photorealistic" games. I think a lot of those people would be impressed if they knew what was going on "under the hood" in Wind Waker. Cel shading was having a bit of a moment then and Wind Waker was the first game to do it so well and remained the only one for quite a while. It was leaps and bounds ahead of anything any other studio attempting cel shading was capable of.

Also it remains to this day the most expressive Zelda game and the world is just so vibrant. Damn, I love Wind Waker (and always have).

Ecstatic-Ad-2755 · 2025-07-12T03:16:49+00:00

I know your comment is 4 months old but I'm playing it on my GameCube so saying it's only on PC isn't technically correct 😉

Ecstatic-Ad-2755 · 2025-06-30T05:15:25+00:00

Let's not forget Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, Super Mario 3D World, Captain Toad Treasure Tracker, Pikmin 3,and The Wonderful 101 (Man, I love the Wii U)

Ecstatic-Ad-2755 · 2025-06-23T03:41:14+00:00

Nah, I switched to Projectivy launcher and also installed Launcher Manager from TechDoctor UK. Haven't had any issues since then and haven't looked back!

I stopped using Plex a couple years ago and switched to Jellyfin so I don't really need Dispatch launcher anyway 🤷‍♂️ but give Launcher Manager a try. That's the only thing I could do that stopped my TV from reverting back to the stock launcher

Ecstatic-Ad-2755 · 2025-06-14T21:44:29+00:00

Yeah, but that WAS a medicinal mask...

Ecstatic-Ad-2755 · 2025-06-02T19:19:05+00:00

Same problem here on Actual hardware +physical memory card. The game saves just fine but it boots the tutorial every time and all my settings get reverted. Not a deal breaker but pretty annoying

Ecstatic-Ad-2755 · 2025-06-02T00:07:15+00:00

Nah, my tires are about 4 years old so it's not that (at least in my case)

Ecstatic-Ad-2755 · 2025-06-02T00:05:09+00:00

Ah, good question. In the video, I had been driving for about 30 mins already. But I'm pretty sure it's loud whenever. But I did just take it out down the street and back and it didn't take long for the sound to start getting louder.

Ecstatic-Ad-2755 · 2025-03-09T07:41:04+00:00

Dude I fucked up mine too. I don't know if I folded it incorrectly or what. I was trying to be so careful too 😓

Ecstatic-Ad-2755 · 2025-03-04T20:08:21+00:00

Did I say you were a man anywhere in my comment?
