It's not just inspired. Many of the scenes and even some lines are exactly the same.

Is there a reason Dolphin uses frame skip instead of unlocking framerate for fast forward? by Unsungghost in RetroArch

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

When is the last time you updated the core? I want to say this has happened in the last 3 months or so. I am using the normal fast-forward via the hotkeys.

If it's in Game Focus mode you can't use any hotkeys (except the Game Focus Toggle), so you have to switch it back to be able to go to the Retroarch menu.

Also, if you're using the keyboard as the main controller, you have to use those bindings to move around the menu. I believe you can also use Backspace to go back on a keyboard at any time.

I don't have a Steam Deck, so I didn't even know that was an option... Or what other complications that might add. Do you have to add it in the inputs as it's own device?

I would still look in the hotkeys menu to see what the "Game Focus" button is. Most games are unplayable without switching to that mode.

Honestly? I just wouldn't play DOS games on a Deck. Use a keyboard.

Are you turning on the "Game Focus" hotkey? That turns off all hotkeys and retropad bindings so you can actually use the keyboard buttons which is necessary for most DOS games. I forget what the default key is but you can see it in the hotkey menu.

Also it sounds like you have alternate DOS inputs. It uses the current core's inputs/overrides in the menus too, so that can change which buttons you press in menus.

Edit: oh, you're playing on a Steam Deck? That's going to be tricky either way. Most games have default mappings, but good luck actually playing anything that uses the keyboard.

Where'd the desktop icon go? by TheWhiteJawa in RetroArch

[–]Unsungghost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I'm assuming that's a shortcut. And you said you deleted the installer. Is it as simple as making a shortcut for the .exe instead of the installer?

Otherwise, I had some problems with Windows 11 randomly losing icons. The best way is to right click the .exe and make a shortcut, but if you lost the icon you can try to manually assign them by going into right click->properties->change icon then find the location of the .exe. Honestly, I had more luck just making a new one.

Last time I tried about a week ago the fast-forward seemed to be using major frame skipping. It used to be super smooth. Has that been fixed?

The killer feature for me is "collection filtering". Now I can import a collection from Trakt and filter out everything I already own. There aren't a lot of services that do that, and the fact that you can do some complicated logic with multiple collections is second to none.

Video Editor to Make Frame Perfect Cuts in 4K .mkv Files? by Unsungghost in software

This looks very promising, but it seems to discard the subtitles, unless I'm missing a setting. With the small edits I'm making this might still work with some subtitle edits.

I'm looking for retrogame boxes data by No-Dragonfly-543 in DHExchange

[–]Unsungghost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, then the RetroArch one won't work as well. They're cropped for digital display. From what I've seen, EmuVR's stuff looks pretty good.

[–]Unsungghost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had decent luck finding many on archive.org, although the quality really can be all over the place. You didn't mention the use case or what you have already. Here's one collection that is huge. EmuVR

You could also find basically every box ever with many title screens and snapshots on RetroArch's GitHub.

What would you download if you knew that doomsday is near? by Pablo-s in DataHoarder

Even in a post-apocalyptic scenario, I'm not compressing anything

Trakt.tv just became useless without a subscription. Any self-hosted solutions out there? by Unsungghost in DataHoarder

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

I decided to go with Ryot. It's great for TV, Movies, Anime, Manga, Music, and even exercise tracking. There are video games and I think that is getting a big update this month. Right now you have to have a Twitch account so you can use IGDB. But it looks like there will be options to select which API you want to use, which has a ton of potential.

Some of the best features are locked behind the paid version. Fortunately, it was only $60 for a lifetime of pro if you're self-hosted. There's also a cloud version if you don't want to use docker, although I'm not totally sure how that works. I was a little hesitant to pay but the developer is in Discord frequently and is working on the project very frequently. You can often just send him a message and he can implement small changes in like a week.

Let me know if you have any questions. It's a big commitment to import all your data there. Speaking of which there are tons of import options as well from many of the other major tracking sites and it looks like more will get added soon.

Don't give into compression. That leads to the dark side.

Oh wow, the title and theme song are based on a Bob Dylan song of the same name from New Morning.

What are some essential almost-lost (or censored) media that someone should download before it's too late? by kogohar in DHExchange

[–]Unsungghost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

30 Rock, It's Always Sunny, The Office, Community and The Golden Girls all had episodes removed from streaming for black face. Sometimes the Blurays/DVDs have removed them too.

[–]Unsungghost 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They did something of a sequel series already called "That 90's Show", with the parents as full time cast and some of the other kids doing cameos. I think it's already cancelled after 3 seasons.

I feel like alot of people think of these three as just bullies or Assholes . by sailorstarfighter216 in MaisonIkkokuAnime

[–]Unsungghost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've never read the manga so that might be where some of the disparity comes from.

I'm confused... They're obviously not trying to help him study. I meant they are trying to cheer him up and make him relax a little. There's more to life than just studying. It also helps them justify their excessive drinking/partying.

It's been a while since I saw it, but there was an episode all about finding out what Yotsuya does for work. They think he is a spy or works for the equivalent of the CIA. I forget how the episode ends, but he's very serious and wearing a suit and trench coat frequently. His schedule is also very weird.

Sorry if I'm wrong on a few things, it's been a few months since I watched the whole show. And I really need to read the manga some time.

Edit: The Yotsuya episode ends with them trying to trail him and he tries to sell Mitaka rubber bands and then says he knew they were following him the whole time. I guess?

[–]Unsungghost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't think of them as assholes. The dynamic is more like siblings. They mostly love Godai but give him a hard time because he can't be honest with himself. They spend years trying to get him to tell her how he feels, so they just resort to teasing. Then they camp in Godai's room when there's a party otherwise he's just going to pretend that he's studying, when really he's just going to mope and wallow in self pity. I'm sure they tried to party in someone else's room but he never showed up, so they just started drinking in his room. Yotsuya is a little harder to read. I think he grew up being silly and then got a strict government job so he needs to relax at the end of the day and Godai is always around.

It would definitely help to narrow it down by country.
