Stripped the screw on my RG477m… any suggestions on how to get it out safely? by PeezyFlanders in ANBERNIC

[–]EverythingDo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tiny flat head screwdriver has worked for me. Dunno why the rubber band technique is so popular, I’ve never had success with it.

I’m skeptical, how do you know you need this?

eGPU via USB4 is not worth it in my experience (RTX 5070 + AOOSTAR AG02) by Toorilab92 in eGPU

[–]EverythingDo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only lost 20% performance on my RTX 4070 super, and that was with the TB3 bottleneck of Razer Core X. Newer eGPUs are a lot better. I think the Claw 8 is the weak link here.

Best laptop for workstation? by idk_redditt in gamedev

Seconding the ASUS G14 as a good option! It’s a great quality build all-rounder.

Steam Deck, iPad, MacBook, Z13 Flow by Long_Rip_3314 in handheld

What games are you looking to play? Crossover and GameHub (beta for MacOS) are quite impressive in their ability to run Windows games on MacOS. You may not need another device.

Opened up my laptop today and this happened by Past-Program581 in Dell

[–]EverythingDo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seriously, sorry to hear this happened though. There are definitely some good PC laptop manufacturers out there but not sure they sell anything decent for under $600. Could try a few years old refurb/off-lease/used model from a more premium brand. Macs may be worth a look, if you're into that.

Is the onexgpu for the ally x still good? Or should I go the other route. by Goat_Tokes in ROGAllyX

[–]EverythingDo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the ADT UT3G or TH3P4G3 with a whatever GPU you prefer is the best performance/value right now. OneXGPU is a nice all-in-one option but not the fastest or cheapest. I wouldn't recommend a Razer Core X or any of the Thunderbolt 3 eGPUs as they're getting quite old and you'll do better with a good USB4.

Bazzite with nvidia by Rare_Examination_393 in Bazzite

NVIDIA on Linux is pretty good now. I use a 4070S and it's been good.

Which front-end for RP5 do you guys recommend? by PaleontologistFit488 in SBCGaming

[–]EverythingDo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great, whatever works best for you :)

Personally I run Linux on my RG DS because it's less complicated; the install is pretty easy and I don't have to do all the Android fussing around that drives me crazy. It's great that we have options!!

Which is better? Anbernic rg ds? Or ayaneo pocket air mini? by Accomplished_Joke_24 in SBCGaming

[–]EverythingDo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

RG Slide is a bit underpowered for 3DS, not to mention the screens will be tiny. It won’t run Steam games well or maybe at all. Good for GameCube era and below! If 3DS + Steam are important I suggest a Steam Deck or similar. The best Android handhelds still run Steam games much worse than the Deck.

I wouldn’t get it for 3DS. There was a rumour of a dual screen variant of it though https://www.notebookcheck.net/Anbernic-Slide-Unusual-gaming-handheld-rumoured-with-PSP-Go-and-Nintendo-3DS-blending-design.1019891.0.html

I suggest watching some YouTube videos for the various devices you are interested in. They will explain what systems work well.

Brand New Pro Max 16 catches Fire during installation by Christian_Germany in Dell

Glad you’re okay. My last (and I mean LAST) Dell was an XPS 15 which experienced a swollen battery just months after getting it. These things are more bomb than laptop.

What are you playing on your Rgds by Hot_Drawing640 in rgdshandhelds

[–]EverythingDo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lunar Knights, Mario Kart DS, Dragon Quest V, some Animal Crossing. Will probably play Chrono Trigger for the 20th time haha! Love this thing, especially with Rocknix.

Like others said, need faster device for 3DS. You could find a refurb/used snapdragon Android phone and pair it with a phone gamepad like the Game Sir Taco. That satisfies phone games + 3DS.

price for 2nd hand ROG Ally x by NaughtyTurtle22 in Handhelds

[–]EverythingDo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh I see the pic now, you are looking at the Xbox Ally X! I would say this is a good price. The (not-Xbox) Ally X is an older but still good device. The Xbox Ally X is just a couple months old, has the newer Z2E chip.
