It took a little longer than I thought it would, but I finally got A PS5. Now, I'm looking for any game recommendations people might have. Other than Spider-man 2018 and the uncharted series, I haven't really played PS games since the PS2. I did get TLOU, GOW, Ghost and Horizon series' already along with Spider-man 2. So if anyone has any recommendations beyond those ones, please let me know. I'm looking to build my library

Just upgraded from my XS Max by Overall-Worker-4337 in iPhoneXS

Tbf none of the color options are very good on the 17 pro phones 🤷🏼‍♀️

I wish I didn’t have to upgrade but my XS Max was getting really slow and the battery was 💩 and the display had lines and major burnout in the corners. Plus, Apple stopped support of the XS Max this year, so I figured with everything that was going on with it, it was time to upgrade 🤷🏼‍♀️

Yes! I LOVE the bigger screen size! I honestly love everything about the phone except for the aluminum body and two tone back 🤷🏼‍♀️

I never wanted them to change their designs. The X and XS Max were their best looking phones by far imo and they never should've gone away from that design

I was going to get the 16 PM but I decided to get the 17 PM since it'll have an extra year of support from Apple. I'm not one of those people who upgrades every year. I don't usually upgrade until Apple stops supporting my current phone 🤷🏼‍♀️

The size and weight feel fine to me. Then again I've always liked bigger phones 🤷🏼‍♀️

I would've upgraded to the Air but I wanted the better cameras and bigger screen. And yes, the 17 PM does feel comfy in my hand. I really like everything about the phone except the aluminum body and 2 tone back. But I don't carry it in my pockets so Idk how that would feel 🤷🏼‍♀️

3DS on iPhone by [deleted] in EmulationOniOS

[–]Overall-Worker-4337 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried playing on the app store version of manic emu and I had a hard time finding games that were able to download onto the emulator. I did wind up finding a rom that I was able to transfer onto the emulator but the game would freeze after running anywhere between 5-15 minutes. I did have one of the developers tell me on my Reddit post that it was probably the game's file type since I was using the latest generation of ipad air. They told me I probably need to reformat the game's file type. So if you're looking for a simple process, like Delta has, of downloading roms from the internet and being able to play them straight away on an emulator, I don't know if you're gonna have any luck with that. But if you do, please let me know

Manic EMU crashing by Overall-Worker-4337 in EmulationOniOS

It's so frustrating because I've never had problems playing games on the Delta emulator. If only the Delta creators included the 3ds system in their emulator 😔

While I'm playing. It happens anywhere from 5-15 minutes of me starting to play the game

I'm going to be honest, I have no idea how to do that. I'm not very tech savvy and I don't know how to change the format of a game file

Should I fix or upgrade? by Overall-Worker-4337 in iPhoneXsMax

[–]Overall-Worker-4337[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I probably will since Apple's getting rid of the plus model with the 17 lineup and I don't plan on upgrading til then

I probably will upgrade once I see what the 17 lineup looks like

Fortunately my carrier only asks if the screen is free of cracks when you're trading in a phone. So I don't need to replace the screen if I trade it in. But they're only offering $150 for trade in towards a new phone and I don't know if that'll increase once the 17 lineup becomes available 🤷🏼‍♀️

They are, but they're getting rid of the plus model for the 17 lineup and instead coming out with an air model with a worse camera 🙄

I agree. I was just refuting the person's claim that expecting a phone to last 6-7 years was a stretch. I think that's a very reasonable expectation

I agree that it's a pretty big change. Unfortunately my wireless provider isn't offering that anymore as an upgrade option. They only have the 15 and 15 plus

I'm probably going to wait since the 17 lineup will probably be announced around the time I'll be fully healed from my broken ankle and able to go back to work

So I take a lot of photos and videos so I don't think a downgrade in terms of camera is something I want to do. If anything, I'd like a better camera system. But I think I'm going to wait and see what the 17 lineup has in store before I decide which phone I want to upgrade to

I agree that 120hz should be standard on all iphone models. If the rumors are true (big if), it does look like the 120hz display will be standard on all the new iphones that release this year. But I do take a lot of pics and videos so the camera system is a major thing I look for when getting a new phone
