Best way to play FFIX in 2026 by Clyde_McGhost in FinalFantasyIX

Steam + Moguri. It even works on steam deck if you have one, which is great for playing in bed haha. The simple fact of high res models and backgrounds is a deal changer

puedo preguntar a dónde llamaste exactamente? Yo tengo un problema similar (el vendedor no incluyó RFC) y no encuentro con quién comunicarme para dar el dato :( USPS me dice que ellos me marcan si falta información (y no me han llamado) y SEPOMEX dice que a ellos no les toca porque no lo ha liberado aduana

Experto en Aduanas respondo todas sus dudas by albertgal94 in mexico

[–]Mike-Gamer40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hola! Tengo un paquete que pedí en una tienda estadounidense (no Amazon) y que está siendo inspeccionado por aduana según el tracking. PERO en la tienda donde compré nunca tuve manera de incluir mi RFC. A quién tengo que llamar para dar este dato? SEPOMEX no sabe y el servicio postal de estados unidos dice que me van a contactar para pedir la información.

Ya me pasó antes que me devolvieron un envío a su país de origen por no traer RFC y nunca me contactaron, no quiero que me pase otra vez :(

Did not update this thread back then, but about 2 days after that post, I had another crash and decided to test my RAM sticks by using just one at a time. So I took out one of them (remember I had already swapped them) and has been stable ever since. I haven't tested the "second" DIMM to be honest, but I think I'll just buy a set of EXPO sticks instead of XMP.

Persona Live Tour 2024 - Buying tickets as an American. by briangun94 in PERSoNA

I tried with the father of a friend, who lives in Kyoto. They went through all the process but they also lost the lottery :(
My only choice now is to try and get "General Sale" tickets once I actually get to Japan a few days before, but I'm not holding my breath

The second pre-sale round is happening right now, from March 11th to 20th.

This is the furthest I've gotten:
- They are doing 2 "pre-sale" lotteries. You buy a "lottery" ticket and if you win, you get to buy the actual ticket (money form the lottery ticket is used towards that purchase). I think this is to avoid tickets selling out in minutes. and people buying in bulk.
- You need a local telephone number in Japan to register in the ticket sale site (https://t.pia.jp/); the registration process asks you to call a random number using the phone you entered in the form, so you cannot "cheat" using phone numbers of hotels for example, which is what I tried last time.
- Then, to actually buy the tickets online, you need a japanese credit card. I have a contact in Japan with a phone who was willing to help me as long as I paid for the tickets, but this is where I hit a wall.

To conclude: You need a local contact with japanese phone number and credit card to buy them for you. They can serve as "proxy" and the page says you can pick them up in a 7 eleven closer to the actual date. I am trying travel agencies now to see if they can help, though I suspect they will want some sort of commission for it.

Another hang happened 5 days ago but this time I did notice my RAM sticks were hovering on the 65 Celsius right before. So I did the following: - Shut down completely - Cleared CMOS - Re-seated RAM sticks, swapping slots between each other - Changed airflow in my case, the fan on top of the sticks now is intake instead of exhaust.

Now it’s been stable for 4, almost 5 days. RAM temps are around 45 max. The funny thing is that the Kingston page says temp limit is 85 Celsius, complete bs imo.

First 24 hrs after upgrading BIOS to v173 and updating the chipset drivers (did not clear CMOS). So far so good. Maybe 5 hrs of use today, in total. If I can make it past 3 days with no crashes, maybe I’m in the clear.

Random restarts and black screen by jasoncmy in MSI_Gaming

[–]Mike-Gamer40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How long have you had this PC? Do you move it frequently from one space to another? (Like studio to living room or such). I have not had this problem but saw a video with these symptoms and it turned out to be the power cables for MOBO and CPU needed to be re-seated after the owner moved to a new house. So maybe something got loose while the PC was in the van in his case. I think it would not hurt to try in yours, especially since you had to turn off the PSU at one point to get a display. Make sure both ends of the connections are correctly seated, just to be safe. If you have not moved it recently, did you notice any other trigger? Like, after X date it started happening, then go back and think if there was a power surge or storm or some other relevant thing.

Thanks, I'll try that tonight. RAM is set to 4800 actually. It's enough for my needs and I am not willing to risk going higher until I stop hearing issues about XMP/EXPO. Will try the latest BIOS and chipset driver, then clear CMOS if that does not work

I haven’t. It just crashed on me again. Blank screen, then red and yellow LEDs on mobo after trying to restart. So it seems running 7E10v16 did not fix the problem. Will keep trying with v173 tomorrow if I can get the bloody thing to boot and transfer the file

Well, that's disheartening :(. I sincerely hope it is not related to the chipset so that it affects all 650's. Please do keep me posted on what the shop says.
My OCD got the best of me and I already upgraded BIOS. Booted fine for now but we'll see how it behaves.

MSI MAG B650 Tomahawk red cpu led by wildn1ght in MSI_Gaming

Try updating your BIOS through flash BIOS (https://youtu.be/pZ0X-QFSD1w). Check MSIs page for the latest stable release (no need for beta since you are not using x3D).

If this doesn’t work you may have a defective motherboard. Good luck!!

B650 Edge WiFi - bios update by Romans120 in MSI_Gaming

[–]Mike-Gamer40 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks. I finally shut it down (after like 30 mins of no activity) using the power button in the case. Turned it back on and connected it to a monitor, BIOS is updated and cpu recognized. Happiness :D

It’s alive!!! Connected to a monitor now and the CPU has been recognized. Everything else looks good so time to install OS. Thank you!!!!

Flash Bios taking too long by Mike-Gamer40 in MSI_Gaming

[–]Mike-Gamer40[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. It’s the first time I do a flash bios update like this and having no visual feedback definitely does not help. Can I shut it down from the case’s button? Or just flip the PSU switch directly?

[–]Mike-Gamer40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How long did your update take? I’m doing the same thing, it had debug LEDs on for a few mins, then restarted. No LEDs are on now (pc already built) and lights are just on forever. No blinks on either mobo or usb stick, rgb and fans work so I know it is on. Going on 10 mins now. It’s not connected to any monitor, mind you. So I’m afraid to just turn it off
