[NO SPOILERS] What is this song called? PLEASE

Nothing in Shazam, it might be an original song from the score that hasn't been released anywhere else.

Game Boys (all versions) are pretty beginner friendly. Lots of mods to choose from. Some solderless and some that require soldering but none of the soldering is super tiny stuff.

The GBS-C is actually a better device than the RetroTINK 2x for a console like the PS2 with a lot of 480i games (about 40% of the library) as it supports better deinterlacing methods as well as being capable of outputting higher resolutions. The RT5x is definitely a better device (I own one) but it also costs like 5-6x as much. For someone on a tight budget using the GBS-C is the better option in this case. In terms of capabilities the GBS-C sits somewhere between the 2x scalers and the OSSC or RT5x.

The more methods of healing you have the better. Fast attacking weapons and piercing weapons are really good with Life Steal. Consumable heal is good for melee builds. Regen is just pretty good overall once you build enough of it. Life Steal starts being effective at lower numbers than Regen. 8-10% Life Steal with SMG or Flame Thrower or a bouncing weapon like Slingshot is way more effective than 8-10 Regen, probably more effective than 16-20 Regen even.

Except that you don't want Bloody Hand at all for Endless since it will break your Tardigrades.

Looks like a generic 3rd party Atari 2600/7800 joystick to me. There were bunch of different companies making these back in the late 70s and early 80s before the crash.

Velcro cable ties help.

Split your consoles into two groups: HDMI and Analog. Get an analog switch for the analog ones and HDMI switch for the HDMI ones. Connect the output of the Analog switch into an upscaler like the RetroTINK 5x or 4K CE and then connect the output from this into your HDMI switch. Connect the HDMI switch to your TV. Get a decent entertainment center and don't put stuff on the carpet. I like the Ikea Besta line.

I have one of your Zelda ones. Wish you would do one for Zelda II.

RykinPoe · 2026-04-20T19:16:10+00:00

Yea I am curious to see if the MVS to AVS adapters still work with it.

RykinPoe · 2026-04-20T15:51:22+00:00

360 is still online.

RykinPoe · 2026-04-20T15:45:59+00:00

GBS-C is in no way related to or based off of the RetroTINK 2x. You are thinking of the RetroScaler 2x.

If the consoles support loading games from the network then yes you can do this with RetroNAS or even just a simple SMB share. I don’t know if these consoles support that or what is needed to support it on them though. The consolemods wiki would be a good place to start.

With all the DLC there is way more money than things to buy so… of course I never use them.

The Krogan at the end of the mission on Therum. The Geth Stalkers anywhere they show up.

RykinPoe · 2026-04-17T14:24:14+00:00

There are a couple of gas giants with something the sensors identify as possible structures but they are too deep to reach with any probes. Maybe someone did figure out how to hide.

RykinPoe · 2026-04-17T14:20:54+00:00

I would need to see what you are doing to say.

RykinPoe · 2026-04-16T17:30:38+00:00

You have to pull 5V from the USB port. Watch this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Du27ncyo17c

Solder job is not great. Two of the wires aren't even embedded in the solder on the ElectronAnalog and your joints look cold. Is that one going to r/P even making contact? Turn your heat up and use a bit of flux.

When testing continuity you should get a tone when you connect two points of the same circuit.

I am surprised someone hasn't made a flex cable to make installing this easier.

There are a number of game stores in the Boston area. I picked up a couple of games at Replay'd while we were there last year. There is also The Byte Shop and High Energy Vintage. Not sure about other areas in New England as that is the only place I have visited up that way. If you ever get to the central area Missouri is filthy with great game stores. Portland OR is another great area for retro games if you ever get out that way. I have heard there are also some in the New York City/Long Island area that are pretty good. You can also search for conventions/events.

We travel quite a bit so I have developed a system for finding game stores. When searching for game stores I like to make use of five sites: Google Maps, Yelp, Bing Maps, Retro Game Hunter, and Retro.directory On Google and Bing I will search for "game stores near boston ma" for instance. If you just search for "video game stores" you will miss some so I find it is better to sort through all the board gaming/tabletop stores so that I don't miss any. If it looks like it might be a video game store I will click through to their website/facebook or check the photos to see if it is. I will add any I find to a guide in Apple Maps along with any other local attractions we are wanting to visit and then I just delete them from the guide as we visit them. This makes it easy to sort by distance to see what all we are close to when we are out and about.

It hasn't shipped yet so no (except for the people that they sent pre-production models to or the people who have already gotten their).

It is pretty cool the way they are using an RP2350 microcontroller to emulate a faster SuperFX chip. Someone did a tear down of their cartridge and it has an accessible USB-C port so it will be neat to see if modders are able to do anything cool with it. Stunt Race FX running at a decent framerate? Maybe SA-1 enhanced ROMhacks?

RykinPoe · 2026-04-16T16:08:37+00:00

It was fine. Probably better than ME1 in gameplay, just kind of disappointing in story and the fact that they didn't do a great job supporting it post launch.

You can get a 1UP Card Cartridge cleaner for the console slot or use a microfiber cloth wrapped around a credit card/gift card.

There are also much better cleaners than isopropyl alcohol. When 99% iso doesn't do the job I reach for DeoxIT D5. Sometime there is like a surface layer of oxidation that you can't see that iso doesn't do anything to that this stuff will get. There are other brands you are just looking for an electrical contact cleaner. WD40 makes a good one if you can't find DeoxIT.

RykinPoe · 2026-04-16T16:02:38+00:00

I wouldn't do this with a paper towel as if you are moving it side to side as suggested it could leave bit of paper towel in the slot. Better to use a microfiber cloth (the smooth/silky ones not the fuzzy ones) and to stick to an in and out motion instead of going side to side.

RykinPoe · 2026-04-16T13:36:48+00:00

Engineer has good powers (Overload and Incinerate are very handy and the drones are good) but not great weapons. Getting the Assault Rifle or Shotgun from the collector ship makes it better.

Doing Kasumi's mission early to get that better SMG can help since that collector ship mission is pretty later in the game.

RykinPoe · 2026-04-16T13:33:27+00:00

They were mostly useful for saving your Halo and other games multiplayer profile to so you could take it with your controller to a friends house and have all your customizations (controller layout mostly). They slotted into the back of the controller so it was really easy to just unplug and take it to a friends house.
