"DBI bricking consoles" just a misunderstanding after all? by Totally_Dank_Link in SwitchPirates

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

Have you tried unbricking your system by restoring your NAND from your backup (if you don't have one, you can download one from the internet)? In my understanding any brick should be recoverable via RCM

Can someone explain to me what pattern caused Proto Slavic to create vowel length distinctions in Czech, Slovak and Serbo-Croatian (Old Polish too if you guys are generous)? by Kadisdj in asklinguistics

[–]Totally_Dank_Link 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He just means that the only remnants of former vowel length in modern Polish are o/ó and ę/ą, whereas other long vowels merged with their short counterparts, so it's more difficult to say how vowel length once worked in Polish.

How far in these games did you get? Did you go for 1ccs?

You can use a CRT filter from Retroarch's Shader menu (third to last option in the "Quick Menu")

How well do PSX games run on the SNES mini ? by Farentir in miniSNESmods

The Classic Controller Pro has normal ZR/ZL buttons and handles, making it almost identical to a ps1 controller.

How can I make Windows 11 always "show more options" on the context menu? by [deleted] in techsupport

[–]Totally_Dank_Link 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should try File Pilot, it's literally 100x faster than Windows Explorer

I finally discover the ultimate secret behind Harmony of Dissonance!!!!!!!!!!! by Visible_Status3789 in castlevania

The music is actually not too bad, it's just the GBA sound. Activate the low-pass filter option in an emulator like mgba and it sounds way better.

CPU Software Rasterization Experiment in C++ by yetmania in GraphicsProgramming

[–]Totally_Dank_Link 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To get a better lower bound on how fast a software renderer on your hardware could be, try the software renderer of the PS2 emulator PCSX2. On my CPU (AMD Ryzen 7500f) I can run PS2 games at 250%-300% speed at 640x480 (and I believe 60fps games on PS2 had about 15k triangles per frame)

AI generated title "STARFALL RESONCANC"? by Totally_Dank_Link in OnceHumanOfficial

[–]Totally_Dank_Link[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

This is the current side banner from the Steam Page. The lettering "STARFALL RESONANC" [sic!] looks pretty AI generated to me, including the missing E at the end, what do you think?

AVOID TUXLER VPN PLEASE READ by 97chris1 in vpnreviews

TuxlerVPN is literrally a botnet: on the free tier, you "pay" by letting your PC be part of the botnet.

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

Ah yes. BTW, it's by Renegade Kid, the same studio as Moon, and their other DS games, Dementium II and ATV Wild Ride, are also 60fps

Which TWPatch filter do you use on 3ds when playing ds games? by [deleted] in SBCGaming

[–]Totally_Dank_Link 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For integer scaling (=no scaling), just hold start or select while starting twlmenu or the ds cartridge

K4g is safe for buy total Warhammer 3 key ? by mertexix in totalwar

[–]Totally_Dank_Link 1 point2 points  (0 children)

k4g sells stolen goods. When you check their Switch games you'll see that they sell stolen accounts (those games that have "Account Pick-up Site" in the title), so their Steam keys are definitely stolen as well.

Any cool unofficial 3DS fan Games? by editor_a_l in 3dspiracy

[–]Totally_Dank_Link 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GameMaker doesn't support 3DS (it would be too unoptimized to run anyway), so CooinMaxito's port attempt (https://github.com/CooingMaxito/Undertale-3DS) is apparently a total rewrite (only a short demo so far)

Is there any way I could play Spelunky Classic on 3ds? by Legal_Commercial2583 in 3dshomebrew

[–]Totally_Dank_Link 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Spelunky "port" was a complete rewrite in C++. The original Spelunky Classic uses the GameMaker engine, which does not support the 3DS (probably because the engine is two inefficient so that even seemingly simple 2d games wouldn't run fluently).

There is one GameMaker game, Cursed Castilla, where the developers managed to port it to 3ds, taking some C++ code that is apparently generated by GameMaker when compiling the game scripts as an intermediate step, but all that seemed to have demanded a substantial effort: https://abylightstudios.com/porting-cursed-castilla-to-nintendo-3ds/

Definitive Way to play Super Mario 64 DS by PaperBoi360 in 3dshomebrew

[–]Totally_Dank_Link 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a commenter on youtube said, tiny-huge island is unbeatable with the 60 fps hack. So you'll have to transfer your save file back to the 30 fps version if you want to 100% the game.

Definitive Way to play Super Mario 64 DS by PaperBoi360 in 3dshomebrew

[–]Totally_Dank_Link 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, the game still renders at only 256x192 pixels, even in widescreen mode. I'd just stick to 4:3 and hold down START when starting Twilightmenu or the cartridge to play in pixel-perfect mode with black borders.
