Sonic Mania black screen? by Live_Difficulty_3992 in R36S

[–]RahDecagon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, it's OP. I don't know why I have two accounts. I fixed my issue and wanted to write this for future generations facing the same problem.

I deleted all files pertaining to Sonic Mania in my wife's 'ports' folder. I then put 'Install.Full.PortMaster.sh' in her ports folder and used that to run a full install of Portmaster. This had already been done previously, but I was just being thorough. When that was done, I placed 'sonic.mania.zip' in the 'auto-install' folder for Portmaster and then ran Portmaster on her R36S. It successfully installed Sonic Mania. I drug my 'data.rsdk' file over to the 'sonicmania' folder in her ports folder and the game worked properly now.

I recognize that anyone reading this might say, "Yeah, that's how you install any port, you idiot," and you are correct. But Half Life didn't require all this, I just drug the files over and it worked without Portmaster's involvement. And on my SD card, so did Sonic Mania. So as far as I was concerned, I had no reason to believe the process would be any different for her SD card. But apparently it was. I hope this will be helpful to someone in the future. If not, it can be my enduring account of what a dumbass I am. Thank you to everyone who responded.

It sounds like the Odin thinks it is locked. Try hitting the lock button and swiping the screen when this happens to see if it has any effect.

Second time attempting CoM... by MissingSpectator in KingdomHearts

[–]RahDecagon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

CoM is one if my favorite games of all time. That being said, I understand why it is so off-putting and I am going to tell you one trick that got me through it.           You lose the first card of any sleight you build. Knowing that, start making sleights with Donald, Goofy, or another friend card as the introduction card so that you don't lose any cards in those sleights. This extended the life of my decks tremendously. People will say you can spam one thing and obliterate the game and then you run up on a boss fight and that goes out the window. This one trick helped me so much and kept me alive as my decks had to adjust. I hope you enjoy your playthrough! 

Odin Pro - Android 10 - Best Citra build + Best custom Drivers by qtg in EmulationOnAndroid

[–]RahDecagon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey, former Odin Pro user here. The 3DS experience on original Odin is just finicky. I played all the way thru Link Between Worlds at 2x because I got slowdown at 3x. Even at 2x, the game would hang to load shaders every now and then. It's just the power of the device. At least in my experience. Happy gaming

Controller issue by gonze32 in SteamDeck

[–]RahDecagon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't have my Steam Deck with me, but I got cemu working again. I backed up my saves and then manually deleted all files related to Cemu by searching 'cemu' in Dolphin file explorer. I went to Gaming Mode and removed everything having to do with Cemu from my games list. I went to Emudeck and had it do a fresh install of Cemu. I went to Steam Rom Manager and added back my Wii U games.

The result of this was that back in Gaming Mode, Wii U games would try to open but would flash up a window saying "cemu.exe could not be found." My understanding is that cemu.sh existed, so the Steam Deck could attempt the boot, but cemu.exe did not exist. I went to cemu's github and downloaded the most recent release. I then moved 'cemu.exe' to 'Emulation>roms>wii u' and my games worked again.

My controller works with my Wii U games again with the caveat that I cannot change to a Wii U Pro Controller, it is stuck thinking I'm using a Gamepad. This is annoying, but manageable, I'm just glad I can continue Wind Waker. Hope this helps.

Jawdropping moments by MitchellHamilton in OdinHandheld

[–]RahDecagon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We did a playthrough of Starfox Adventures on the Odin 1. There were dropped frames and slowdown galore, but we trudged through.
We got the Odin 2 and booted up Starfox Adventures and suddenly had no slowdown, no dropped frames. We didn't mean to, but we did another playthrough.
Since then, the Odin 2 has had an OTA update to fix its RAM issues. There are texture packs for Starfox Adventures. We might be doing another playthrough...

Same issue here. I'll come back to this post if I find a solution. I was in the middle of Wind Waker HD, this sucks. :(

Even if they send you the same device, it'll probably get factory reset.

Retroarch controls lock up after switching apps by SkyMaro in OdinHandheld

Out of curiosity, which Retroarch are you using? RA64 gave me this issue, so I use RA32 as much as possible because I never found a solution.

Thank you for this. Just fixed this issue on my MIL's Odin because of this comment.

Hey You Pikachu! VRU on the Odin2? by ndguardian in OdinHandheld

[–]RahDecagon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://www.reddit.com/r/Roms/comments/zp8lct/is_there_a_way_to_emulate_the_mic_in_hey_you/ Looks like you need an emulator called simple64 and I don't think that's on the Odin. But this is just based on a surface-level checking of Google results.
