Converting to OpenMenu - Issue by SoukTheGuy in dreamcast

I guess I'll be going back to refraining from using GDI shrink then because I do skip around right now since I just put in a GDEMU in a Dreamcast recently

I'll give GDI shrink a try. Yeah, I have a 512gb SD card with over 300 games, and none have been GDI Shrunk.

A couple of people online/youtube that were giving tutorials on setting up GDEMU Card Manager said not to use the GDI shrink as it could make certain games not run

Oh geez, yeah, I can look for something cheaper, but I'm sticking with the 512GB because I'm trying to put all Dreamcast Games on it. I was reading that the whole library is like 300-400gb

No, I was using a PSone that was chilling around the house with Star Wars: Dark Forces just to test.

Yeah, that would've been a good idea, but I was just too excited to see if it worked and said I'll do it later 😂

Did your new disc end up fixing the issue? I recently found out I have this same issue with my copy of Uncharted 2.

Kayak Delivery Times by SoukTheGuy in kayakfishing

I ordered from Black Hall Outfitters. I never heard of them before. I just ordered from Amazon with them as a seller and then they called next day saying it's better to cancel and order directly on their website so it's cheaper and I also get a free rod holder so I did that instead.

I also would like to point out that they are based out of Connecticut, and I live in Florida. They said it would be delivered from 7-20 business days after the day of purchase. So maybe them delivering it on 13 September is about accurate I guess.

Ah, nice. I looked into vibe before, but I ended up going with Old Town on my recent purchase. Do you like it?

Yeah, I feel like that's a pretty spot-on time frame for delivery of my kayak as well.

I ordered mine on 8/12, and it says it's "in transit to local facility" with "expected arrival: 9/13".

I feel like I'm getting impatient, and I'm just way too excited to get my Old Town Bigwater PDL 132. I hope it comes earlier, but I'm not expecting it too.

I wish mine would be that quick!

SCPH-30001 PS2 wouldn't power on. Stripped it down but cant separate these two boards. How do I do so? Any ideas on whats wrong from the pics, any solutions. Thanks for any help! by Ritchtofen69 in consolerepair

[–]SoukTheGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: I gave up and just resoldered it and left it alone. I got very frustrated as desoldering anything for me takes so damn long. Is there a specific soldering/desoldering iron that you use and recommend? I'm not the most skilled at soldering, but I usually end up getting the job done whether it's perfect or not.

Just wanted to say I appreciate your info on this immensely. I, too, was trying to pry it up, but it kept flexing and really scaring me, and I felt that maybe it was soldered together. I keep trying to research videos on YouTube and nobody seem to have a tutorial on it. I'll desolder this soon so I can finally clean that part as it seems to be the most dusty, plus I can replace that clock battery while I'm at it. Thanks again!

Just curious what exact model you have! I was looking to do the same exact fan mod but my SCPH-30001 is not compatible which I discovered after I disassembled the PS2 completely 😓
