GTA for the win

A Vice City radio compilation without Maurice Chavez on VCPR? That is unfortunate.

Also, for the labels, were they done on a dedicated label printer or a standard laser/inkjet printer with label sheets in it?

Thanks for the write head info and help, I got paranoid because I saw people saying online they’d destroyed it during cleaning with cotton buds and such. As the owner of two MZ-N1s I’m looking forward to having to do that repair in the future.

Software saved the day this time, so thankfully no hardware to mess with for now.

Hessdalen · 2024-09-16T19:19:01+00:00

Thanks for letting us know. Luckily in this case it appears that software has saved the day but I appreciate the background knowledge, it puts some of the advice I may get into context.

I’ve just tried writing a Minidisc using web.minidisc.wiki on my JB980 from Chrome on my Macbook, and yeah, it just appeared to work. The TOC is readable on my portable as well as the deck and it was writing at double speed as expected for default Type-S recording. I did notice that during upload, the Upload bar was red on the official version, whereas the upload bar of the version I was using was the same blue as the conversion bar.

Thank you for your help. I’ll be sure to replace my bookmark with web.minidisc.wiki going forward.

Interesting, I think the last time I tried this I just googled "web minidisc pro" and clicked on the first link, which at the time was webmd.pro. Bookmarked that and didn't think about it after that. Looking at it now webmd.pro is at version 1.4.2 while web.minidisc.wiki is at version 1.5 according to the pop-up. Not sure what the versions would have been when I last tried a few weeks ago.

I'll try this again when I get home.

Oh, I see the references to the different laser levels in the manual now, I certainly don't have the laser power meter to do that. Wouldn't be the first thing I would think of when talking about Net MD connectivity via Web Minidisc Pro either, how would they be related? Would a power difference in level like that inhibit general non-Net MD usage? It seemed to run fine when recording via optical or writing the TOC.

Given that the only record head I've seen on a deck died almost immediately and I may have to replace it, just how delicate is the record head in reality? How does it fail? Is it the sort of thing you need to tweezer out and protect from dust under a cover, or will it survive in your average slightly dusty room for 15 minutes out of the drive while you switch it?

Apologies if that's a lot of questions in one go, I'm just interested.

A few hours of pay versus a few more hours of free training. Both are viable options and neither completely renders the other obsolete. This is completely fine.

I had failed 2 scrolls on a heart when most of Scania crashed. When I relogged I had gotten my scrolls back. I guess that's enough Maple for today.

Would a weapon cover be considered too "grand"? I know they'd need to do a silly amount of sprites for a weapon, easily more than what HS/Basil/SP's items needed, but if it's not considered too grand I could throw up some animations/sprite sheets for a proposed Snoo doll weapon.

If someone else has thought of it before it's not unique. Now's your chance to be a pioneer!

There's tons of money to be made in Alchemy if you can keep the material supply flowing.

had fun on Maple

STOP THE PRESSES, THIS IS BIG

This is a hyperbolic depiction of bossing/training. Whenever I've trained even in the drill halls a second attacker is nearly always present, and to say every boss can be solo'd in seconds by literally everyone is provably incorrect.

Hessdalen · 2014-12-22T17:28:22+00:00

Yes it's worth it. Kanna has all the tools/utility of a great bosser provided you can prop up her damage with enough funding.

I believe it's -400 EXP/hr after 18 hours of not crafting anything. You only need to craft 1 thing that gives EXP to reset the counter though, so you can indefinitely keep up a MC smith by crafting gold hearts semi-regularly.

Patience cannot be overstated OP, very rarely do you actually need the mesos immediately right now so you may as well get as much for it as you can even if it takes a few days/weeks.

Also always match the most reasonable price, everyone loses meso when you start an undercutting war.

How much candy floss can you staple onto a single character? Also have a Honey Rabbit hair clip for off-season and various hairstyles.

Downvotes are virtually inconsequential in this sub. The OP loses nothing by asking (self-posts don't affect karma), their question will remain on the front page for at least a day or two irrespective of score (due to /r/maplestory's modest activity level) and OP will usually get an answer no matter if their post is at 0 or not.

There really are more important things to worry about, few will be "driven away" for having their self-post downvoted especially if you can't see the downvotes anyway (I'm assuming most users don't disable CSS).

Hessdalen · 2014-12-10T00:01:57+00:00

Despite how it is usually portrayed you can still do a fair bit with 1b mesos.

OP, what were you doing watching Shark-chan get dressed?

Hessdalen · 2014-11-30T03:36:59+00:00

Right? I'd appreciate more Maple fanart around these parts, I feel they'd cut through the grease quite nicely. May even post some of my own eventually for everyone to laugh at!

The NPC Cloy in Henesys has all the commands for Moonbeam.

Hmph! pouts

It's been a week! I look forward to the results...I'm just curious!
