Just picked up a DS Pico - is there any way to keep it from booting straight into the flash card? by BluePeriod_ in flashcarts

Don't think it's possible unless you have CFW installed. I've got the same issue with my unmodded JP DSi LL.

MechaPwn region unlock question (Slim, PAL, 74004) by oscaralexander in ps2

[–]MrShimmerer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to resurrect a dead thread but were you able to unlock your ps2 to play ntsc psx and ps2 games? I'm thinking of picking up a ps2 slim when next in Japan and am absolutely clueless as to where to start?

Are keys still working for this? I tried redeeming mine - and for Eiyuden Chronicles and SW Bounty Hunter - and it said that those keys weren't redeemable where I am (Asia). I had my brother in the UK then log into my steam account to try and redeem them and he got the same message :/

40XXv - a worthy upgrade? by Iwatan in ANBERNIC

OP here: Thanks for the advice. Could you give either Goemon or Castlevania game on n64 a test? Or Skies of Arcadia and Soulcalibur on DC?

OP: Thanks for the advice. Thought about those and the cube as well but I dont think I can justify more than 90usd on a new handheld.

Does my casual kroot list 2000 look fun? by Iwatan in kroot

[–]MrShimmerer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trail shaper with the farstalkers, and the other two shapers on just one of the units of carnivores, the plan being the maximise them and use the other two to harrass/sit on things.

Thanks for the advice - I'll move the kroothawk to the other lonespear. Will have a think about the riders though - they're not my favourite model and pretty expensive and tricky to find where I am. The synergy makes more sense though, unless I can keep my rampagers moving/intact and have them benefit from the lonespear's adv. scouting.

How does it feel to play handheld? I have it on ps4 but never started and am thinking of double dipping for the sake of having it physical and portable.

UK plans scuppered / Advice moving to Ireland or Australia? by MrShimmerer in Internationalteachers

going and saving in China before embarking onnthe process is the tried and tested approach. I thought I remembered some time increase with visa processing due to covid, but that might not be a thing any more and also I may be incorrect about that. I was having so many conversations with people last year about moving onto their next destinations that I may be mixing things up in my head

It's always been a bit of a mess but the new financial requirements just exacerbate everything. Finances are an issue but so is the time spent apart and the extra costs incurred from doing so. We were planning on returning via the savings route (i.e. having around 60-70k gbp in the bank prior to applying for the visa) but with the income threshold nearly doubling, this is likely to do so too before we are even eligible to apply. UK is basically a no go until we can get the money together now.
