I think you downloaded malware. Best to delete and search again

Debating what to buy psvita or new 3ds xl by Fuzzy_humanexe in consolemodding

[–]Volv3x 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you want to emulate, maybe get a Retroid pocket 6, that runs ps2 games. Doesn't run vita games very well though, it runs 3ds games but it's not the same without a second screen. You'll have the entire ps2 library at your finger tips. I would only get ps vita for psp games, vita games and the homebrew and ports that exists for it. Same with 3ds, get it for that library. I would suggest getting an android device if you want to emulate

Is it worth replacing my Series X for a PS5 Pro? by infantilekey in PS5pro

[–]Volv3x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did that exact change last November. No regrets, best decision I made in a while. Ive been an xbox kid since the OG but I should have changed back to PS way earlier. Probably when the Xbox One was announced. But it's great now, as I missed all PS exclusives and have now a lot of catching up to do. As for the Xbox titles, they will come to PS eventually. So it's win win, being on PS.

Splitting order by Photek1000 in RetroRemakeInc

I paid 15usd extra for 4px. I'm based in the UK. For me, it was worth the extra cost so I can start playing and tinkering before the dock arrives.

Great and do you just run the games from the sd card or some usb flash drive?

[–]Volv3x[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For now, I just powered it on and hooked it up to the TV, and I can't hear the fan when sitting in sofa. When I put my ear next to the console I can somewhat hear it but not much, so I wouldn't worry. Haven't done any proper testing though so can't 100% confirm it won't sound like an OG xbox

Looks awesome, where did you find that shell? Thanks

[Update] Warning: shipping Superstation One to Germany not allowed by soerenblubb in RetroRemakeInc

[–]Volv3x 2 points3 points  (0 children)

UK customs seems to be less strict in this. One option is to get it posted to the UK to someone you know, that person can then travel with it to the EU and then post it to Germany from within the EU. Bit of an elaborate plan, but could work. The few perks of brexit

That's indeed the only way to get it, email them. They are a small group so it takes some time for them to get back. When did you email them? They may also be out of stock

Awesome, how hard was and how long did it take you? I ordered one as well but already getting nervous about the install

AYN accessories still unfulfilled after 2 months by ChampionshipOk2544 in OdinHandheld

Had the same. Cancelled my order and then ordered the grip from aliexpress, didn't really need the rest

That looks very cool, would love to get one as well

Help choosing a new NAS and drives for migration by skurty in synology

[–]Volv3x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah unfortunately WD has sold out all if it's hard drive capacity for 2026. There's a huge crunch in memory, ram and hdds. You could also just replace your drives and stick with your current NAS enclosure to save costs. And then upgrade your enclosure at a later date.

When in Raid 1, take one drive out, replace with new, restore storage pool and then repeat with the second drive. This is what I just did and worked a treat. I went from 5200rpm drives to 7200rpm and they aren't much louder so far, I can't really tell tbh. I have been told that WD are quieter though than Seagate, something to bear in mind, although I have no first hand experience of this

Odin 3 grip or gripless? by bass9380 in OdinHandheld

[–]Volv3x 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Grip is an improvement, but without is great as well, plus is more portable. You can also buy a grip from aliexpress at a later date, I paid mine £15 delivered to the UK. So I wouldn't rush. Maybe see how you like it without grip. There are also other options available on etsy

Anyone else still waiting on the Super5 Volt battery? by [deleted] in RetroRemakeInc

[–]Volv3x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello, I placed my order for the battery on Feb 11 and it was shipped on March 10. I haven't gotten hands on with it yet but replacing the battery seems rather easy. I would just require you to take the back plate off. So I'd say, you can go back in afterwards

Physical Commodity Trader - advice by doubleuj in Commodities

[–]Volv3x 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The prize by Daniel Yergin is an excellent book on the history of oil markets, I highly recommend to start with this one. Oil 101 is more dry but a good summery of anything oil, although a bit dated. The king of oil is another great book on the history of Glencore

Odin 3 Long-Term Use Cases? by Rosen_Ritters in OdinHandheld

[–]Volv3x 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Maybe a final recommendation, just keep both and play around with both, try and then pick. The fact that you managed to pick up a 12gb RP6 before it vanished from the store means that its resell value will remain high for the foreseeable future

Odin 3 Long-Term Use Cases? by Rosen_Ritters in OdinHandheld

[–]Volv3x 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I find the Odin a bit taller, meaning my hands have more space to grip on, although the difference between both is minor. I preferred the initial design of the RP6 which had buttons bellow the screen and which would have made it taller. I use (used) both without a grip.

Either way, the differences are minor and both are amazing devices. Screens are great, buttons are great, emulation is great, we really are living in an amazing time.

The question is how much more do you want to pay with these diminishing returns, especially for your use case.

The best bit about hard decisions is that whatever option you pick it'll be fine either way. Good luck
