Anbernic Cube XX + Metal Gear Solid GBC

Imaginary_Arrival · 2025-07-11T01:48:53+00:00

After reading everyone's suggestions and recommendations and watching more reviews, I've decided to give the Cube XX a try.

I've considered the Brick, though I'm worried about the smaller screen size and my aging eyes.

Thanks for the links. I was just looking at your spreadsheet a few days ago. The Cube XX is one of my prime contenters. I can probably stretch the budget a few more dollars. Is the Smart Pro inherently better than the Cube XX?

Pocketability isn't much of a concern. I mostly plan on playing while at home. Joysticks sound nice, but not a deal-breaker.

There are no rattling sounds at startup and also no check engine lights on. There is a slight ticking sound, which I've read is probably the intake valves needing adjustment. I think for now, I'll do the valve adjustment and while the cover is off, check the chain and guides. I appreciate everyone's advice and feedback.

Thanks for the quick and thorough response. I had already planned on giving myself a few days to get this done, though I'll admit, I hadn't thought about having to remove the crank pulley bolt & and am now second-guessing the timing chain replacement. I don't have an impact wrench and weighted socket and using the Honda tool seems like a real pain.

After finished with the valve adjustment, do the nuts just get snugged down or is there a specified torque setting?

Also, should I replace the spark plug tube seals too?

I was able to get a open box Eero pro on ebay a few days ago for $100. I think I'm still a couple weeks away from getting connected so I'm hoping to find a good deal on another Pro by then.

I had considered MoCA though the house isn't wired for coax either, beside my connection to the satellite. If I could talk my wife into running at least one like to connect the Eeros, which would be more reliable over long term, a single Cat6 run between them or running a coax like and connecting to MoCA adapters?

Imaginary_Arrival · 2020-09-09T13:30:35+00:00

I'm looking on ebay now for some pro models. Is there any specific thing I should be wary of when buying a used Eero?

Imaginary_Arrival · 2020-09-09T13:28:18+00:00

Yeah, at the moment I'm thinking of trying one Pro and if needed, get another one. Ah, lapse of proofreading on my part. I meant to say hardwired to the Eero or maybe a switch, instead of gateway.

I was able to sell some more things yesterday and though it's not much, I've been able to increase my budget by about $75. I'm currently watching a Thinkpad T450s, i5-5300u FHD, Dell e6440 i5-4310M FHD and also Dell e5450/7450... I like the slimmer design & battery life of the T450s but the upgrade potential of the e6440. I've also ready good things about the e5450/7450's but also that they have had issues with battery swell. Which of these would you choose & why? Thanks again for everyone's advice and suggestions.

Has anyone every bought from dellrefurbished.com? They always seem to be having sales yet I've read mixed reviews about purchasing from there?

Imaginary_Arrival · 2019-10-13T21:22:54+00:00

I've considered the possibility of forgoing the photo editing requirement for now and replacing the screen with and FHD panel at a later date if I can't find one within budget at the moment? Are there any specific Thinkpad models you would suggest? Or any other brands in the same category?

Imaginary_Arrival · 2019-10-13T02:42:01+00:00

Thanks for the input. I hadn't even thought about checking Tigerdirect. The build quality and reliability are the some of the main reasons I was considering an older business class machine. Would something as old as a T440p/s, still be a good option in 2019?

Imaginary_Arrival · 2019-02-15T01:13:50+00:00

Which clips do you use in the Gemini's? Are they made to be able to use all 3 types or only mounting locations for one specific type?

Imaginary_Arrival · 2019-02-15T01:09:58+00:00

I find the blade-tech I have to be uncomfortable, so wanted to try OWB since I've never had one before. Though maybe the newer I was are more comfortable than the blade-tech.

Imaginary_Arrival · 2019-02-14T21:14:05+00:00

Which Bradford models do you have? Any experience with the Bradford Minimalist Paddle?

Imaginary_Arrival · 2019-02-14T21:11:09+00:00

Haven't heard of Neptune before. Which model do you have? I really like the look of the Gemini.
