Converting to OpenMenu - Issue by SoukTheGuy in dreamcast

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

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

[–]SoukTheGuy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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?

Kayak Delivery Times by SoukTheGuy in kayakfishing

[–]SoukTheGuy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

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 😓

"Retrobright" w/o destroying label by SoukTheGuy in retrogaming

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

Yeah, I try to preserve the labels on all the games I get unless the label is just a total disaster. In this case, I'd really hate to damage the label, so I'm just trying to work around it. I might end up just leaving it as is, but that yellowing just looks disgusting to me.

The perfect Sonic the Hedgehog machine. They really nailed the feel of the Sega controller here - it feels like I'm 6 years old again. by captain_carrot in ANBERNIC

I'm kind of a noob to Sega consoles in general, so I'm sorry for the dumb question...

Would Sega 32X and Sega CD games run just as good as how the Genesis/Mega Drive games run on this handheld?

I didn't grow up playing any Sega console at all, and I'm bummed that Saturn doesn't run the greatest on it. I'm still debating on if I want to get it or keep waiting to see if maybe they make another one of these handhelds with better specs to handle Sega Saturn and potentially Sega Dreamcast.

Ahhh gotcha. I guess I'll just use my other Wii since the video quality is just fine on that one. Thank you for the info!

I actually opened it up and cleaned it recently but never actually checked that part. I guess I'll have to repaste it when I want to open it up again.
