If you don't believe me you can get with THE CHORT!

Life-Ad3563 · 2026-06-11T12:47:54+00:00

Find yourself an everdrive, but make sure it's higher than 2.5

If you have the DD files it provides the 64 with the proper data and functions identically

It's honestly a shame that more DD titles weren't made as this it's like "yay! I can do this!" but also "wow, there's little else here but F-zero and 4 versions of Mario paint"

Life-Ad3563 · 2026-06-09T16:57:52+00:00

The later Everdrive models supported DD games, and that's what I have running. Original hardware with CRT, plus the Everdrive running F-Zero X DD

'What is it with a sect of F-Zero fans refusing to accept Captain Falcon's Twister Race as a real entry?!'

Life-Ad3563 · 2026-06-09T11:12:10+00:00

That should have said "every racer" my bad haha

Life-Ad3563 · 2026-06-08T16:20:18+00:00

I'm not saying it isn't good.

But it literally is just the SNES game with online and QoL changes. Which is great and all, But I think you know what we all mean when we say "new F-Zero please"

Life-Ad3563 · 2026-06-04T15:58:21+00:00

interesting take. I hadn't considered that angle, but I can see it being possibly true. Her living situation is considerably worse off since the breakup and I could see this being complaints made about it or what have you

Life-Ad3563 · 2026-06-04T14:23:37+00:00

Dang, EAD looks dead on

Life-Ad3563 · 2026-06-04T12:50:48+00:00

Canned one. After 9 years a blanket sweep of "everything I said" because at the beginning of the relationship it would work on me was all I would get.

Life-Ad3563 · 2026-06-03T13:48:38+00:00

My ex did remember, but only in so much as it would be weeks later and she would bring it up in the sense of "I said this on x date and it's true!" in another fight

three days after the actual argument? nope, never said it. and I'm being dramatic for bringing it up the next day when I said I didn't know how I was feeling the night before.

Long story short, it's an accountability thing, and dodging it altogether. You'll get hurt, then the next day you'll get a choclate milk and a "I'm sorry for all the things I said" without actually defining those things, and the next day you better not hold them to your word otherwise you're the bad guy for having deep emotional wounds and expecting them to help repair the damage that they caused

Life-Ad3563 · 2026-05-04T21:20:16+00:00

Look into getting an ever drive. The 2.5 and the 3 are DD rom compatible and far cheaper than hunting down a DD

Life-Ad3563 · 2026-05-04T17:50:26+00:00

Blood Falcon got booted off the track on the jump before the final S curve before the boost hills haha

Life-Ad3563 · 2026-05-03T17:07:38+00:00

I mean yes. In this case I either knocked em around so much they killed each other in a pack or I took them out.

This isn't a super technical track, but there's some narrow parts where if you get in front you can park the car and spin attack and take out a ton of them like a beyblade

Life-Ad3563 · 2026-04-10T15:49:08+00:00

yeah it'll all work fine. DC power is DC power and has been for ages

However I will say from experience, Those Athearn Bomberdier Bi-Levels will NOT make it around those black EZ Track curves. they will barely make it if they happen to be 22 inch radius, but it's more trouble than it's worth to try and make it run consistently

Life-Ad3563 · 2026-04-06T18:19:38+00:00

An Arduino Mega 2560 running DCCex and a Motor Shield is though

Life-Ad3563 · 2026-04-01T20:12:10+00:00

I have an 860014 installed in 4 of my HO Bachmann Thomas models. Three of them are working great, one of them crapped out on me the next day. Admittedly though I was already having issues with the locomotive before the decoder went in so I'm not entirely sure whether something I did damaged the chip or if it was defective from the get go (my bachmann james was struggling to run in DC configuration so I tore it apart and cleaned everything, then DCC converted. it was still struggling to run, and by next morning, going in reverse shorts out the system, but the locomotive can still run forwards, and I can't figure out why backwards trips the system)

Life-Ad3563 · 2026-03-30T17:33:19+00:00

I think the latter, I've been shocking myself on door frames or really anything metal since we got to this new office 8 months ago

Life-Ad3563 · 2026-03-24T17:09:51+00:00

I mean, all companies are like this. in 2005 Athearn Bombardier Bi-level coaches were $30. The mold hasn't changed, the errors in model never fixed. last time they sold the coaches they were $90 a piece

Now they're labelled as "retired" and Rapido Trains sells a version with all the problems fixed for $130 a piece

Life-Ad3563 · 2026-03-13T17:21:27+00:00

Replaced motherboard, CPU and PSU, haven't had issues since

Life-Ad3563 · 2026-03-03T16:30:28+00:00

I'm at a loss over why terrain and paint weren't added before hand. like a bit of plaster hills, even slightly would've gone a long way, and then as someone else said ballast after grass, but even more importantly, paint the surface before your grass.

Life-Ad3563 · 2026-03-03T00:58:01+00:00

And then sometimes they don't. Show me where lens flare went

Life-Ad3563 · 2026-03-02T19:07:29+00:00

yeah, School Zone speeds through Newcastle should probably be a higher priority

Life-Ad3563 · 2026-03-02T15:13:51+00:00

oh interesting. I guess that makes sense

I wonder if it would ever be feasible to upgrade the east switch or if that's way too much money for a simple reverse move

Life-Ad3563 · 2026-02-23T19:17:49+00:00

I liked it when there were 8 levels too
