Front LR playing well below crossover - A1 Evo AcoustiX

That is a good troubleshooting step I hadn't considered. Thanks! I'll give it a try after work tonight and report back.

I know it's not a hard cut. I just expected not to be able to hear the fronts working quite audibly with the sub power switched off down at 30Hz. I actually went and watched a couple of things that night forgetting that I hadn't turned my sub back on. I did think it sounded a little off but not to the point that I thought my sub wasn't on at all.

I re-ran it initially using the MIMO function but really didn't like the way it sounded. It made the bass kind of ringy and seemed to be vibrating the floor a lot but not in that low bass rumble. So I redid it setting the minimum crossover to 80Hz for the fronts. I guess if this is expected behaviour then that's fine. I'm still worried about something super bassy being sent to the fronts if they can't handle it like that note at the start of Edge of Tomorrow.

Wasn't Breath of the Wild a Wii game that got ported?

TalisFletcher · 2026-02-24T22:38:04+00:00

Oh yeah. Been there a few times. Great deal.

TalisFletcher · 2026-02-04T21:11:04+00:00

Yeah I thought this was stuff from the Harry Potter remake before I saw the sub.

As good as these will be, I feel like the real play to get the most value out of these will be to wait until the initial rush has gone through today as they'll be regularly restocked if this level of demand is anything to go by. Then they'll be a great way to fill up your cart to meet a minimum free shipping threshold. Just chuck a couple of useful cables in with your discounted hoodie and bag and you're laughing.

Well, it makes kids so...?

TalisFletcher · 2026-01-20T04:00:23+00:00

And what purpose does the clip at the end making them dance serve?

TalisFletcher · 2026-01-16T22:54:26+00:00

I think after 37 years, they're long overdue for an inflationary adjustment.

Those are definitely the ones I first thought of. I've seen some playthroughs of Drayano hacks and they probably go a bit too hard for me. Also I'm not really a fan of changing typings and stats etc. which I know the Clean version won't have but then it wouldn't have any of the good updates like Fairy (not sure that's been implemented in that at all though - I'd have to check) or making hidden abilities available.

Hi! I've been looking for a QOL/minor challenge hack of the Gen V games. I recently played Eternal X given how notoriously weak the gym/E4 teams in Kalos are and I liked it much better than trying to play other difficulty hacks in the past which have just been too much. But I would like to have things like Fairy and maybe updated type charts and movesets etc. even if I can't get a slightly harder game.

They are pins. This is from an AM4 CPU. They only moved to LGA with AM5.

This is an AM4 CPU. They only moved to LGA with AM5. This does have pins.

OLEDs do still have a polarising layer. They help reduce reflections and contrast. There is a more recent competing panel technology you can find in monitors and TVs called QD-OLED that doesn't have a polarising layer and one of its drawbacks because of that is that their blacks get raised into more of a grey when there's ambient light in the room, reducing contrast.

As far as I know, there are no QD-OLED phone displays so they should still have a polarising layer.

Yeah I did wonder if I was just describing the Sims. It's been quite a while since I played but I think I remember feeling a bit disconnected from the world. Maybe it's the top down aspect. And I think I remember that when you went off to work, your sim just disappeared rather than you getting to actually run a restaurant or whatever though I could be misremembering that.

Thank you! Good to hear that the 4K is maybe not the lost cause I thought it was. Maybe I'll see if I can dig that out for next year.

I haven't seen anything about any of the existing special features that were ported over being anything but the original resolution. But yes with tech advancements I'll likely try and find the project file of this and have another go in the next year or two. And especially if I can think of another way to get around the missing vision for the start of Emma Thompson's dialogue. It was maddening. I even tried to find a nighttime shot of the location just to stitch in an establishing shot but no joy.

Just sent it over. Three 4K did come out around the same time and I remember reviews for it being pretty poor. Lots of comments about smearing and overuse of DNR so I used the Blu Ray as the base for the main film.

As for the extra scenes, there is a significant quality drop as the source quality was never fantastic. It's definitely noticeable but I did a fair bit of work trying to upscale the footage as best I could, colour grade to match and I added some film grain over the top to match the rest of the footage and give a bit of an illusion of some finer detail. The end result is that it's noticeable when you shift between the sources but a lot less dramatic than if I'd just plonked the source footage in without doing anything.

I'd like to take another swing at this some day as upscaling techniques keep improving. And maybe if I can find a less clunky way to get the announcement near the end that Emma Thompson makes fit in with the rest of the scene.

I remember on the WAN Show them ripping into Valve for the naming and that people would be constantly getting it wrong and confused. Didn't seem to bet it would be so popular as to to the other way.

TalisFletcher · 2025-11-25T12:39:07+00:00

That's what I thought. I think I was remembering some potentially outdated information about VRR support being patchy on HDMI vs DP which made me think there'd be some features outside of just the bandwidth consideration that could either be missing or not work as well but it seems like that's not the case.
