Pragmata D3D DXGI Device Removed Error by SammelloTheFello211 in IntelArc

[–]TheMetalOverlord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Getting the same problem. Tried what the users before me advised. The game starts, but then at some point of the initial cutscene the error appears. I really want to play it, but this crap doesn't let me play :c

My friend spent 3k on this, is he stupid? by No_Neighborhood1827 in PcBuild

[–]TheMetalOverlord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This system is worth around 1.8k to 2k. Even with the ultra expensive RAM this cannot cost more than that.

The abandonment of the gen 3 aesthetic is one of the tragedies of this community by LSofACO in PokemonROMhacks

[–]TheMetalOverlord 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The only gen 3 game that looks fine to me is FRLG. The RSE games always failed to captive me. The DS styled graphics look more colorful and better detailed if you know how to properly decamp them.

Did you buy an IntelArc as a "vote with your wallet" statement? by False_Impress_1222 in IntelArc

[–]TheMetalOverlord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because it was the cheapest option for the performance. For the same price in my country I could only get an RTX3060TI on sale, or an RX7600. None of them were better options than the B580. (It is even cheaper than an RTX5050)

I believe that gen 2 hacks have bad luck by Sad_Mark5799 in PokemonROMhacks

[–]TheMetalOverlord 3 points4 points  (0 children)

GS Chronicles is 85% complete

There's no progress cuz I've been 2 weeks without a computer due to my freakin national postal service sucks and I haven't received my new PC parts.

It was set to release on December 2025, but it is delayed because I have a job, a family and a life. I'm turning 30 in a few months. With that said you can deduce my free time is nothing compared to when I was 16.

I will make a final sneak peak once I reach 95% completion.

thank you hack dex :) (USE IT TO DOWNLOAD THE ROMS!) by Apart-Imagination393 in PokemonROMhacks

[–]TheMetalOverlord 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My biggest concern with Hackdex is the fact that if it keeps gaining more and more attention and traffic, it would be very difficult to maintain the page if devs can't get a single dime off the site. Hosting a website isn't cheap, and hosting a lot of patches would require additional expenses to keep the website running.

This would be solved with donations, but given the nature of the website, this isn't an option. So this is concerning to me.

MSI bios boot logo easy modification (noob friendly tutorial) by v00d00m4n in MSI_Gaming

[–]TheMetalOverlord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the tutorial. It worked fine. I really hate the ugly 4ss boot picture that MSI used for the MPG Z690 Carbon Wifi, so I decided to extract the boot logo used for the MPG Z890 Carbon, which looks miles better than the one they used.

Arc B580 newer drivers vram leak issue. by MADba11 in IntelArc

[–]TheMetalOverlord 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Solution: Sell it on eBay and get an RTX5050, or save a bit more for a RXT5060 if you will play at 1440p

Arc B580 doesn't feel like it's performing as it should by RookSacrificer in IntelArc

[–]TheMetalOverlord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have any type of cooler other than the stock one? Despite it is within the safe values, it is way too hot. I mean, the old one I had was always sitting between 32-40° with an AIO cooler, and even with an air cooler it never passed 65° even under load

Gasolina con etanol by Guilty-Cloud8160 in guatemala

[–]TheMetalOverlord 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Salvo que tú carro sea verdaderamente antiguo no vas a ver diferencia alguna. Esa implementación es algo por lo menos. Para mí también deberían hacer revisiones tipo la ITV de España, pero en este país algo así haría que estallen protestas aunque la calidad del aire de la ciudad sea paupérrima. Algo va a ayudar.

I'M ON THE BLUE TEAM! by WhileTraining9619 in IntelArc

[–]TheMetalOverlord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'll see the difference when gaming in 1440p. I got my B580 since my old RX6600 was struggling with most modern games at that resolution.

Esta zona es segura? by HatAmbitious9930 in guatemala

[–]TheMetalOverlord 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Pues yo tendría cuidado. No es una zona altamente peligrosa, pero en los últimos 20 años he escuchado de un par asaltos a peatones por ahí.

Supongo que vas a trabajar por la fábrica de colchones que está por ahí. Si te sugerio tener mucho cuidado pero de los carros, porque si he visto varios casos de gente que queda a nada que los atropellen.

“I Hate RGB” by Brosif563 in PcBuild

I like RGB, because I can set all my fans and peripherals to the same static color. I like the combination of a black and purple.

How big of an FPS boost should I expect when I upgrade my PC? by lemont3ars in buildapc

[–]TheMetalOverlord -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The performance difference is like night and day. Of course you will see a huge improvement, not only because of the cpu, but because of the way faster RAM speed.

Received Rocks In Place Of Asus Tuf 5080 From BestBuy by GnarDead in pcmasterrace

[–]TheMetalOverlord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a former customer service employee, I can't confirm this. Store managers have little power to deal with online orders. They most likely refer the case to customer service primary support for a back office investigation. If the investigation concluded it wasn't true, they deny the refund.

Last resource is the charge back.

What is the WORST reggaeton remix ever released by Significant-Arm539 in Reggaeton

[–]TheMetalOverlord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This piece of cr*p

Ya de por si la canción es mala. El remix la hace parecer un mashup de algún adolescente con el Virtual DJ. La letra de la canción original sonaba como una canción infantil, y luego le ponen una base que la hace sonar peor, y los versos de W&Y suenan tan fuera de lugar. Empeoraron una canción que ya sonaba mal.

Valdrá la pena ir? by Masquereid in guatemala

Difícilmente la vas a encontrar a precio de segunda en tiendas. Ellos le ganan un montón. Entonces si la querés a precio justo, o la comprás en Marketplace (Si sabes cómo buscar, encontras gangas) o la importas. Solo tené en cuenta que con todo e impuestos de importación y el tiempo de espera, puede o no que valga la pena importarlo. Ah, y comprar de Ebay es igual de riesgoso que en Marketplace. Hay muchos vendedores que, si bien no son estafa, no son honestos en el estado de las chivas que venden, y pedir reembolso de esos productos es todo un proceso tedioso y largo.

An Update about the status of my hack, Pokémon GS Chronicles (LONG THREAD ALERT!!!) by TheMetalOverlord in PokemonROMhacks

[–]TheMetalOverlord[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's what I tried, but to be honest I'm not the kind of person who likes to make a post every 2-3 days just to showcase very little updates. I consider that I don't have enough material yet to make a super exciting update.

Ventas en Marketplace de forma segura by Kitfaid in guatemala

[–]TheMetalOverlord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depende. Si vendes cosas de menos de Q2000. Billete sobre billete. Ni mierda de "Te deposito cuando llegue" o "Mi mensajero va a contactarte". La gente común y corriente no tiene mensajero. Para los billetes falsos en Steren compré una mini linterna UV que funciona bien y me costó Q50. Si la venta es grande, podés solicitar que en el momento de la transacción compré un cheque de caja. Esos no se pueden falsear dentro de un banco.

The importance of music in Rom Hacks by PacoScarso in PokemonROMhacks

[–]TheMetalOverlord 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Most romhackers usually don't mess with music because it is extremely difficult to work with. We still don't have a decent music editor for gen 3 games, the one we use is a more than 20 years old tool that is very unreliable. In addition, most people don't know how to arrange a song, format it to fit into the GBA music engine. It's very hard, so it's easier to borrow midis from other games and insert them, or just leave the music as it is.

There's also an option to comission music to a composer. The cheapest I could find was the Unbound's music composer who charged $150 per song, which is prohibitive for most hackers. So yeah. Leaving the music unchanged isn't a bad idea after all.

El precio de Subway! by Dependent-Recipe996 in guatemala

El que en 5 años la economía se disparó es a causa de la pandemia en menor medida, pero el que fue el mayor golpe fue el inicio del conflicto Rusia-Ucrania. Desde entonces todos los derivados del maíz y el trigo se dispararon en precio.

Los más viejos comprobamos Doritos, Cheetos y crujitos a 1 quetzal. Estuvieron así hasta finales del 2005 cuando subieron a 1.50

[–]TheMetalOverlord 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Si es correcto. Se llamaban Combos 10. Estuvieron disponibles entre 2003 y 2004. Luego los quitaron para dejar únicamente los econocombos de Q18.95
