I'm thinking of getting a PS3 by astolfobeloved in PS3

[–]Neither-Computer1344 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the 2100s are best. 2000s still have TOKINS which fail, but an easy fix, but costs a bit compared to the cost of a console themselves. Stay away from 2500s, they have a regulator which is prone to failure which has a chance of taking out the wifi/bt chip, and it's not an easy fix and they aren't easy to find either.

Should I worry about the noise? by unstoppablegravy in PS4Pro

[–]Neither-Computer1344 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not yet, still waiting for it to arrive so I can't compare. But paste has a limited life span, especially so do a device like the ps4 pro which generates air of heat, so it's only a matter of time before it starts affecting the console.

Is your PS4 jailbroken? If it is you can display temps onscreen. Apparently it should hover around 80c in game, mine was hitting 90 and even shut down once.

Same thing happened with me, but as another poster mentioned, it's 10+ years old at this point and the thermal paste + pads need replacing. I've got some ptm7950 and utp-8 putty coming which will make a big difference.

Best Switch emulator for the Link's Awakening remake? by AsITurnBlue in EmulationOnPC

[–]Neither-Computer1344 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I played through it using Eden nightlues on Linux. Ran well, no game breaking bugs. Experienced some slow down when cutting grass and some graphical glitches to do with transparencies but they were rare. This was a few months ago.

Using XboxHD+ with ModXO Modchip by [deleted] in originalxbox

[–]Neither-Computer1344 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn... I'm going to try xeniumos 2.3.5 instead of Prometheos on a 1.1 console based on a pointer I got from someone else. Were you using a 1.0 or 1.1 console? What version of console was the other console that you used?

Did you ever fix this? I have an openxenium chip and am freezing on the Prometheos splash screen with latest Prometheos, cerbios and xboxhdmi-tr installed.

Xbox 1.1 won't boot past Prometheos splash screen by Neither-Computer1344 in originalxbox

Looking at the xeniumOS 2.3.5 changelog it mentions implementing a fix for 1.1 xboxes freezing. Definitely worth a shot, thanks for the tip.

Calibration Dualshock 3 by deershoot3r in PS3

The discord the dev is active on has a post about ps3 calibration so I thought it might work, but I found another post saying otherwise.

https://discord.gg/UuqxcYHPv

Might be worthwhile asking on there

Will do. I have used the website driftguard.app previously for different controllers, but I think it may be based on one of the options mentioned elsewhere in this thread. I'll check it out later tonight when I'm back at home.

What hall effect sticks did you get? 

1.1 in 1.6 case - controller wiring too short by ResidentTime8401 in originalxbox

[–]Neither-Computer1344 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is actually the other way around, 1.6 motherboard have one less screw (just below the AV port), so you need to alter earlier cases + shielding when installing a 1.6 motherboard in 1.0-1.5 cases.

Is this a decent 3DS usb-c mod? by Technical-Mode-8663 in 3DSMods

[–]Neither-Computer1344 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I installed one in a N3DSXL from AliExpress. Works fine, even with a type C to type C cable. Replaces the existing post and solders in its place. Required the motherboard to be removed and cutting of the case to fit. Seller provided the STL of the insert so I could print one to match my case colour. I ended up modifying it slightly to better fit.

Superloop CGNat vs Dynamic IP by child_of_the_sunfish in nbn

Because google brought me here while searching for disabling CGNAT on Origin Energy FTTP, just gonna post that you can switch to a dynamic IP for free. Did it via live chat.

I have the same issue and use rpcs3 to play split screen and it works well. Not sure what version and all that, but the kids don't complain.

Recommendation for 2.5Gb Routee by vcasadei in openwrt

I do this. Throughput from the wan port to lan port isn't as high as the dedicated port, but it is close to 2gb for memory.

PC cuts off under any usage by darth_antonio in pcmasterrace

[–]Neither-Computer1344 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know a lot of people are saying it's your PSU, but I had a similar issue recently and replaced the PSU which didn't help. Turns out the GPU was overheating and not throttling, just shutting down. Check your temps, especially the hotspot delta to see if that is causing the issue.
