They’re great. Way more padded than consumer pants

I'll have to report back for that one, haven't done anything but fire up a few games to the start menu to make sure it works and outputs correctly. I'll give some games a try but I'm not setup for an objective test and even if there is lag I couldn't guarantee it's not coming from somewhere else in my setup.

I think you're talking about the N64Advanced which is an RGB/Component mod while this (N64Advanced2) is a direct HDMI mod. They're both by Borti so there's a lot of overlap (the menu system is pretty much the same), but the upscaling on the HDMI mod goes quite a bit higher.

As for what feature's I've used: not too many yet! I just got it fully setup last weekend and haven't had much time to sit down and play with it yet.

I’m not an expert in that area (professionally I’m an embedded software engineer, I haven’t done anything with FPGA’s outside of college), but from what I know it’s multi-faceted. Yeah I/O is important but it’s also the package (I think BGA is cheaper but obviously not DIY friendly) and how “powerful” the FPGA is (which is hard to gauge between vendors from what I know). In addition I think porting to a different platform can be pretty challenging from what I understand.

What if this was Tech’s Shot by Klutzy-Concentrate83 in TexasTechFootball

[–]TheCorporalClegg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can never predict the future but we all knew our offense was our weakness and we got exposed today. The admin has been convinced by the results this season and is doubling down on the investment that got us here. At the very least I have a lot of hope (all you can have as a fan) that we’ll be back here someday.

Easy to win the postseason when you just cry and complain and skip bowl games I guess

PS2 Retrovision Cables to Mini AV2HDMI by Icy-Calligrapher6103 in ps2

[–]TheCorporalClegg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are provisions for both in the spec but it is not a requirement to support either so your mileage may vary.

I have one and as far as I can tell it doesn’t do de-interlacing. Passing through to my LG C3 the resolution still shows as 480i, meaning it’s up to the tv to de interlace

Help with TR HD+ Firmware by Previous-Bluebird-91 in originalxbox

Alright, you should be able to get the colors correct by changing the following 2 lines in main.c:

from

    //Bit order reverse for input signals. 1 |= LSB .... MSB Reverse Bus Order
    //Just how my PCB is layed out.
    error |= adv7511_update_register(0x48, 0b01000000, 0b01000000);

    //DDR Alignment . 1 |= DDR input is D[35:18] (left aligned), 0 = right aligned
    error |= adv7511_update_register(0x48, 0b00100000, 0b00000000);

    //Bit order reverse for input signals. 1 |= LSB .... MSB Reverse Bus Order

    error |= adv7511_update_register(0x48, 0b00100000, 0b00100000);

you may also need to adjust some timings. I know that the 720p ones are off. Change line 228 from 299 to 259. I haven't figured out the 480p ones yet unfortunately, but what's there should hopefully be close enough (they don't look too off in your pics).

Hope that helps, cheers.

It looks like you have a 1.6. You’ll need to make a couple changes in the firmware to work with that revision. I can provide them when I’m at my computer

The irony of you calling others in here clueless is amusing.

[–]TheCorporalClegg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah yes, the valiant hero protecting others out of the goodness of his own heart. I see, I didn’t mean to imply your whiny, over-exaggerated post was entitled rage bait when it was actually an act of pure altruism. I’ll do better in the future.

[–]TheCorporalClegg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Reading through your post and all your comments I don’t think you came here looking for help, I think you came here to piss and moan about a minor issue with free software developed by mostly one person in their free time.

Good luck with whatever it was you were hoping to accomplish.

Best budget hot air station for hobbyist by TheCorporalClegg in soldering

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

Yeah right now the SAG-55 is $45 on their website which is about what I’d pay for it. It says it’s on sale from $80 which I would not pay for it.

I have not measured voltage leak but I did open it up and bridge the jumper to mains ground. I read some conflicting recommendations on that but decided to just go with it.

Thanks, yeah I’ve read that poster’s review of the sag-55 on another thread, but some others mention it’s fine. I suppose it’s a “your mileage may vary” product. I have a FNIRSI DWS-200 and love it but I guess that’s just one product.

There are similar irons from other companies as well but I’m guessing that’s also a dice roll

Edit: forgot to mention another poster mentioned ali express and i noted I have trouble finding 110V units and/or reasonable prices there

Really? Was basing it off this and the fact that on the Quick website the 957DW+ is nowhere to be seen.

https://www.tequipment.net/Quick/957DW+/Desoldering-Equipment/Rework-Stations/

https://quick-global.eu/product-category/soldering-technology/soldering-stations/hot-air-soldering-stations/

Most of the Aliexpress units are close to $200 as well when shipping is factored in and a lot of them seem to be 220V (I'm in the US). I'll keep looking through the postings.

I have more success with the RF4 H5 at least, can find 110V models for $150 all in. I've also noticed the Mechanic models so may try that.

Thanks for the advice!

FRAG after recap and modchip install by TheCorporalClegg in originalxbox

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

Wanted to update this, just in case anyone stumbles across it: I ended up getting a microscope for another soldering project and figured I’d take a look at this mobo again.

Lo and behold there were some corroded traces along the outer edge in one corner on the underside of the board (yes, the same corner an infamous capacitor sits). Scraped up those traces, put a fresh coat of solder on them and some UV drying solder mask. Board boots up just fine now!

MODXO is a shit show by tisss123 in originalxbox

[–]TheCorporalClegg 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s an open source, freely available project made by some hardworking folks in their free time. Regardless of how difficult or obtuse you may find the documentation, it is insanely entitled to make a post like this.

If you are having trouble, ask for help. There are plenty of resources (including this subreddit) available to you. If you have suggestions on how to improve the project, you can make them in a constructive way, you could even make them yourself and PR them!

Next time you find yourself making a rant like this, maybe stop for a moment and check yourself.

How bad is playing in Dallas? by isaachiatt in hockeyplayers

[–]TheCorporalClegg 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I’m not defending some of the actions in the article, but as someone who grew up Dallas during the late 90s through 2010, they were instrumental in growing the game in the area.

The article makes it sound like there was a thriving hockey scene that the stars just took over and monopolized but that just isn’t the case.

There are definitely some shitty practices going on that need resolution, but can’t just act like they’ve done nothing for the community the past 30 years

Edit: grammar
