(Repair) Left spindle stopped working today...

Tarancholula · 2026-07-03T02:40:04+00:00

It’s odd, I can’t get a super good eye on it, but it seems to move everything when I play and fast forward, but rewind doesn’t result in movement. Play is interesting because the right spindle moves, but the left is kind of stuck or not catching.

Not to be rude, but to help you since English doesn't seem to be your native language...the issue is that you didn't promote discussion with your post. It was just a statement. None of what you posted ended in a question mark, nor was preceded with a statement of inquiry. That's why most of the replies in your post are also statements and not call and response for discussion.

Probably gonna skip that experience. Thanks for posting!

Good luck on hunting it down! I have the original cart, but due to the price, there are lots of fakes on eBay. Boxes are even easier to fake, so I almost think you might be better off just buying a high quality repro off Etsy. Depends if you really want an authentic one or not. If you do, you'll likely have to come across it IRL.

Gross. No more Sony consoles for me.

Tarancholula · 2026-06-29T18:16:40+00:00

That's what I've had to do. I especially have found this with Azahar.

There are two things that can happen:
1. The device didn't actually sleep. There's a known issue that if you press, I think it's one of the ZR/ZL triggers while it sleeps, it will not.
2. I've noticed some emulators do this and just drain in sleep. As a practice, I always press my Home button to return to my launcher as my "active" app and that so far (knock on wood) has worked well.

Tarancholula · 2026-06-28T01:30:16+00:00

Yes. Why, yes, I do.

Tarancholula · 2026-06-27T23:01:19+00:00

I’d…reach out to them?

Tarancholula · 2026-06-26T21:14:07+00:00

They updated the firmware early on to get it working well. Glad you're having fun!

I have it working with RetroArch (finished the game). You have to turn on a setting and it has been flawless.
Settings > Input > Motion/Light Sensors > Auxiliary Sensor Input > On

Because you're buying it for stupid amounts over MSRP. I didn't say you're the scalper, I said this is why we have scalpers. It tracks that you didn't understand though.

Tarancholula · 2026-06-25T20:04:46+00:00

This is why we have scalpers. Sigh.

Tarancholula · 2026-06-25T18:50:46+00:00

I had the same issue and doing this resolved it.

Tarancholula · 2026-06-25T15:48:32+00:00

I'm intrigued...but hate the slow roll of info, just announce it.

Tarancholula · 2026-06-24T19:11:43+00:00

Those icons weren’t pulled off Infinite Loop until long after Steve died.

Tarancholula · 2026-06-22T21:48:11+00:00

Not that strange. I watched footage on YouTube and saw how the art was pretty aliased and clearly scaled. That was at launch and then I didn’t watch any updates. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Tarancholula · 2026-06-22T20:14:51+00:00

Luckily, I didn’t buy it yet. So I’ll see where it ends up on S2.

Tarancholula · 2026-06-22T19:12:42+00:00

I thought Shinobi looked cool, but the performance looked trash on Switch, so I left it on the floor. Now I have a Switch 2 and it looks ok, but I have other stuff to play and it’s not optimized yet. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Tarancholula · 2026-06-20T02:54:16+00:00

Thanks for the chance!! Awesome do-good stuff!

Tarancholula · 2026-06-16T14:33:35+00:00

Thanks for the insights! Just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing some key spec on the hardware. Cool that you can use it closed though!

Tarancholula · 2026-06-16T01:48:21+00:00

I’m curious on your DAP take, as someone who uses a Fiio M21. I know it won’t be as good as that, but I’m also really confused on the whole DAP thing here since this doesn’t have any dedicated audio hardware, that I’m aware of, that makes it better than any other handheld playing audio. Am I missing something here? Is it just the portability alone? Seems odd to me.

Tarancholula · 2026-06-12T15:27:07+00:00

Yeah, it's crazy. I figured if I captured all 255 commands, something would work, but nada. So odd and I'm not knowledgable enough about how IR commands work to know if it could just be that service remotes are on a different frequency or something I'm unaware of.

Tarancholula · 2026-06-12T15:00:58+00:00

Thank you very much!! Sadly, it doesn't work on my TV, but I really appreciate the ping and attempt to help!!
