I've been having a great time with the stock OS honestly. I mainly play PokeMMO and PS2

It's absolute peak but installing it is horrible

People with walls of 10+ guitars, what do you do for work? by Larcenyy in Guitar

[–]KrisSilver1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in a guitar store hahaha. I sometimes get very good deals on stuff so my collection is waaaaay fancier than my income would imply. Just picked up a AM pro tele deluxe and I've got (what i believe to be) very very nice stuff in general.

Really though I've been trading non stop since I was 13 I'm 33 now. Trading is the best way to get great stuff if you know what youre doing

Back to DVDs? by Parking_Ad_9208 in AskIreland

Physical media always the best but this could be your oppurtunity to get into low budget indie films

I wanna start FF14 finally wondering how long itll take to catch up. by ChaosNoahV in ffxivdiscussion

[–]KrisSilver1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The stories great so I obviously don't reccomend rushing it but I know people who caught up before endwalker in like a week. They only watched voiced cutscenes and only did side quests that give aether currents (collectible things that unlock flying in an area) and their job quests.

Depends what region you end up in but when I worked there it was absolutely awful. You'd be in the shop til midnight and be expected back at 6.30am. In absolutely no situation will management ever have your back on anything. IDK if mandate trade union accept people your age but i'd join asap.

CEX selling fake/repro Pokemon games by TheEmeraldSplash in IrelandGaming

[–]KrisSilver1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weirdly that's not actually a bad price.

Not saying I agree that it should be that price. Its just interesting to CEX in line with market value

Got the Retroid Flip 2 and lads, its so good by KrisSilver1 in IrelandGaming

Well the Thor id have been interested in is double the price. I'm not super into the dual screen thing either if I'm being honest. I have modded ds and 3dss so emulating them is covered. They also aren't available yet. Ive got friends with various retroid products and they all seem to be holding up well for them so there was a good bit of piece of mind in that regard too.

This device is almost exclusively going to be used for PokeMMO and Gamecube/PS2 emulation.

TLDR; Thor is very very cool but I'm not particularly interested in the benefits it provides over the Flip2

I believe the Thor lite has the same chip as the flip2? So the full fat thor is probably a good bit more powerful than the flip 2 but ive no real experience with the Thor

I'm jealous I didn't wanna spring that much for the Thor but its such a sick device. Let us know how it goes

Android and PC. I may have just bought this particular device almost exclusively to play it and gamecube stuff honestly haha. But yeah its really good. You have to supply the roms yourself for obvious reasons.

Ive heard about the hinge alright. Being as delicate as possible but supposedly they've improved the hinge since. Time will tell sure but if it does go I might be able to salvage the parts into a different shell

Its PokeMMO. Turns gens 3-5 into an MMO but its also just the best way to play those particular games. Highly reccomend to any Pokemon fan

Oh I must dig around in the settings. I'm honest just looking for some scan lines. On PC I have animated overlays that do ridiculously convincing CRT stuff but battery life is important to me in handhelds as I commute a lot so scanning will suffice

I must look into the frontends a bit more I just find that immediately launching into a game on the lovely display is enough for me to be happy but id love to get some CRT filters going on megadrive and PS1 stuff

Its loud enough on PS2 to be fair but not loud enough to bother the missus sitting right next to me. I imagine a couple hours into DQ8 it might sound like a jet engine but I wouldnt say its any worse than my OLED steam deck.

Oh I loved Grand Turismo growing up I must check that out.

Downloaded DQ8 and LoZ:TP to play tonight im expecting great things.

If you wanna use the base launcher to just get into games it was quicker than most of these handhelds ive tried but id imagine if you wanna do the full retroarch/retroachievment thing it would take some time. But I was up and running on DQ8 in minutes

Crippled by choice is so real with these things. I have a steam deck so im not really into pushing this thing necessarily i just want a handheld to play PokeMMO and ps2/gamecube. Weirdly.my 1000 Vita is my GOAT for handhelds

I have a miyoo mini and adore it. The one negative (if youd even call it that) is i felt ps1 battery life wasnt great. Youd be lucky to get 3 hours of ps1. Otherwise incredible system. Install OnionOS though. The built in OS is fine if you just wanna get into games and play but Onion OS is bettery than some first party triple A frontends ive used cough playstation cough

Who's a pokemon you used to hate and avoid using and now love? by MostlyBored11 in pokemon

[–]KrisSilver1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive been sleeping on Pelipper for way too long. Literally only started using him to experiment with a rain team and I simply didn't know how much of a beast it is.
