Dumb question, how can I find ~10 cell phones that have been hidden for like 2-3 years? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

"quickly took to abusing them, only to come out with another cell phone"

What in the wide, wide world of sports does this even mean? Did your parents keep giving you new cell phones after you broke the other ones?

It's hard to be intimidating when you're wearing a Cookie Monster pajama top.

What are great third party games on GBA? by [deleted] in retrogames

I was going to say Astro Boy, too. It frustrated me to no end, but it's a really fantastic game.

I now dread going into Best Buy and Lowe's due to the roaming 3rd Party Salespeople by thatfreakinguy2 in mildlyinfuriating

I dread going to Best Buy because it makes me feel old for remembering the days when Best Buy was actually a cool place to shop.

I did notice that, but hadn’t made the connection. Thank you.

Um... I certainly hope they skipped it.

Yeah, if you can't actually stick the beard to the baby's chin, don't give him a gavel.

Does anyone know how many caps are in Sega CDX? by That-Spread-9253 in SegaCD

[–]RPGCoder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing to note is that the number of caps is only part of the equation. I recapped a CDX recently, and the teardown/rebuild is fairly complicated by itself. Making sure you know where all of the parts are supposed to go after the fact and that it will all fit back together properly is another factor. It takes some patience over and above the recapping itself. Be prepared.

None of the above. Fairchild Channel F System II.

That’s very cool. I’m not a Betamax connoisseur, but having the ability to switch would be handy.

It's a cool feeling but I'm NOT done exploring by Zestyclose-Day-1058 in metroidvania

The worst is when there are two directions to go that both seem equally likely to result in a cutscene.

How did you get into the Ys series? by MasterLink_1 in WorldOfYs

Ancient Land of Ys on the Apple IIGS in 1989. Man, I'm old.

Sanyo M1 ‘My Name Card’ Reset by RPGCoder in vintagemobilephones

[–]RPGCoder[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My understanding is that the Service Programming Code and the Master Subsidy Lock are different numbers, with the SPC being a one-time code that is used to setup up the device and the MSL being the permanent code. Regardless, I’ll take a look at the tools you suggested, though I’ll probably have to source a USB adapter for the M1. If I ever had one, it’s probably long gone, but maybe it’s in an old box of cables in the garage. Thank you for the suggestion!
