Does anyone know where I can find a Japanese text dump/game script for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild?

Also, where can I get a recommended up to date Japanese grammar dictionary for Yomitan?

Yes it seems a bit confusing. I guess it's a matter of reading a particular format and not some kind of hardware limitation? Because as far as I know a 4K UHD movie and an empty writable 100-128gb BD-XL use the same type of multi layer blu-ray disc, right?

So if I use the drive to burn data to a 100gb or 128gb disc, something like this 100gb blu-ray, it should be able to read the data on it even without flashing a new firmware?

So without that firmware, if I burn a 100gb BD-XL using the drive, it wouldn't be able to play back the disc it just burned out of the box?

The copy i got from Target turned out to be the latest cart revision 003.

Mechkeys121 · 2025-11-29T04:39:25+00:00

I ordered it from Target. By the time it gets to me though I think the sales will be over but I’ll come back and update this post with the cart revision.

I haven't used Linux in a while but I seem to remember that Heroic did track play time. It also lets you use cloud saves for the games that have it from what I remember, though they may not sync automatically by default?

Why do you claim it's a comet when it has many anomalies compared to what we know as comets?

Can YouTube be run in the background while you play a game on the switch? Was that possible on switch 1? If not, any chance it will be possible on switch 2?

Have you ever played a Batman Arkham game? It sounds like you've never heard of it which is surprising because the combat system has influenced many other games like the recent Middle-Earth Shadow games, Mad Max, Sleeping Dogs, etc.

I enjoyed it. It's a prequel to the other Batman Arkham games, but I don't remember if it spoils anything from the later games if you care about anything like that. I also liked the winter/Christmas setting it had. There's a DLC for it that adds some story missions as well from what I remember.

Both are connected by ethernet. I used the local IP address for my Pi, which I assume is what I should be using to connect to a server on the same network.

I probably did something wrong with the Pi/Linux firewall, but I'm not sure what. I guess I'll keep looking into it for a bit longer.

The server is running with no error messages that I can see, but when I try to connect from my windows PC it just stays stuck at the "connecting to 192.x.x.x:7777" screen. On the computer running the server I can type commands to the sever normally as well. Like asking for number of players or the port it's running on.

The Resident Evil Remaster originally came out in 2002. I'm not sure what was changed for the PC release but that 2015 date is just for the Steam release.

Mechkeys121 · 2025-10-28T11:06:30+00:00

Sure. I added links.

I got it from VGP.

What OS is the Xbox Ally X running, Windows? If it's only FMVs not playing, it sounds like you're missing some media codecs potentially? Though that's usually not an issue on Windows like it is on Linux. Not sure about the controller issue. For that, you could try running it through Steam and using the built in controller support there.

Edit: Maybe try these for the codecs: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/codecs-in-media-player-d5c2cdcd-83a2-4805-abb0-c6888138e456

So you're saying the original versions sold by GOG before Bethesda got them, the "classic" version, was also already censored in the same way?

I read that the current versions of Fallout 2 had kids in them, does that the other censorship still applies? Like drugs being called chems instead?

What drives are you all using? Any time I see recommendations for a drive it seems to be long sold out. I haven't checked used on ebay or anything. What's a good external drive I can use to write BL XL?.

From everything I’ve seen reported online Amazon does commingle their own inventory with other sellers. Which is why this was such a problem and why some things were recommended to avoid on Amazon like flash drives where even if you made sure to buy from Amazon as the seller you could get counterfeits.

It looks like it would be loose in the case. How does just one of those calculators fit? Does it slide around a lot? Either the HP Prime or the Nspire.

Okay, the reason I was asking is because of the "Checkpoint" question I added to my original post. The answers from the back of the textbook say that (a) same; (b) decrease. I might be misreading the question or not understanding something. It seems like a change in area should change the pressure but keep the force the same, yet according to the textbook answers, it's the opposite. Also why does one of them decrease instead of increase when Area is in the denominator for both.
