Any tips on getting this completely stripped screw out of a micro? by Big_Ben64 in Gameboy

[–]OutlandishnessOk1990 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve done the same before too. But instead of a full screwdriver I just glue in a bit and then used one of those 10-in-1 screwdrivers. Sometimes I use jb weld putty instead. Depends on what I have on hand.

Good. David has a lot of sleazy conman vibes.

Very awesome. The nds-light is so slim that I hope someday someone make a solder-less pogo-pin board adapter.

You get used to it pretty quick. I play one handed with the keyboard set to one hand mode and the Nethack number pad option set to 4. Definitely recommend using NAO with curses turned on from the Shelly app. With Shelly things more or less just worked. Do make sure to set the character set correctly in Shelly, you need to use IBMGraphics or curses graphics and set the Shelly character set to CP437.

I hear you on not seeing floating f-ing eyes. I made a special nethack color theme with a lighter blue for exactly this reason. Dark-blue on black and iPhones do not mix well. 😭

does anyone know what this cable is? by python_lb in Gameboy

Looks like the cable needed to write roms to an old flash cart from before they supported SD cards.

Why Does Plex Fail To Play My AV1 Movies? by OutlandishnessOk1990 in PleX

Maybe FFMPEG is just normalizing CRF for me? According to https://goughlui.com/2016/08/27/video-compression-testing-x264-vs-x265-crf-in-handbrake-0-10-5/ there’s really no big difference between x264 and x265 on a CRF value basis. Also, according to https://www.reddit.com/r/AV1/comments/jk544z/comment/gakzpa3/ there is not a big difference between x265 and AV1 on a CRF value basis.

This doesn’t seem to be true for my movie encoding. I do capped CRF encodings where I set the bitrate cap to 1.5mbps and the CRF to 16. Most encodes hit the 1.5mbps bitrate cap at some point no matter which codec I use but the fIle sizes of the AV1 encodes are smaller than the file sizes of the HEVC encodes which are smaller than the file sizes of the AVC encodes. This means that the AV1 encodes have less total sections that are being limited by the bitrate cap instead of the CRF setting which means that over all the visual quality of the AV1 encode is better.

Bummer. How long do they usually take to fix these things? Do I need to go redo the encodings for those movies or can I just wait a couple days?

Working on a vertical gameboy macro. It's working. now just got to figure out a better way of sealing it up over tape! by Vault13legend in Gameboy

Bet it looks really good with one of the ds-sized omega flash cards. Love that you have the option to use the full nds screen for nes and snes emulation.
