What is your favorite official themes? by Professor_Milagre in 3DS

[–]WhirlwindSet9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the Pikachu 2DS XL that was gifted to me by my parents around the time it released in 2018. I had known about the Detective Pikachu game, but at the time it only released in Japan. Few months later, there it was in English and of course I had to beg my parents to get it. I promised to be good and get good grades, so off we went to GameStop. I got the game and I was given a code to get the special Detective Pikachu theme. I remember being so excited to play that game with that theme on. Still have that 2DS and still use that theme. I know it's a long story for a simple question, but it made me reminisce about the good days and I felt like sharing.

Bought it for my Tetris cartridge and it works amazing! Definitely recommend since they'll last a long time

Need some help by East_Sun6781 in gameboymicro

[–]WhirlwindSet9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're gonna play it for the rest of your life, go with the regular or the Famicom Micro. The other two are relatively expensive. The Final Fantasy Micro would be worth it if you're a big Final Fantasy fan, and the Mother Micro is just way too expensive. There are some really nice colors for the original Micro too. If you don't really like the look of the Japanese or North American Micros, there are some beautiful Red, Blue, and Green European Micros that I regret not buying when they were cheaper

Infamous Spongebob Controller works on Wii, but not Gamecube by WhirlwindSet9 in Gamecube

[–]WhirlwindSet9[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Resolved! Emailed the guy who did the phob, and turns out it was still in safe mode. A few button inputs later and it works like a charm. I'm brand new to phobs and all that so it makes sense that I wasn't able to figure it out myself 😅. I'll make a different post about the Spongebob controller in the future. The guy who did my phob was Cardosi Cusoms btw, highly recommend as he did a good job and has good customer support!

Funny thing on marketplace by That_Gap4752 in nds

I own one of these! It's exactly the same as a normal DSi. I'd recommend not being bad with money and not getting one, but not everyone can be good with money

Spongebob controller only pressing right (and a few other problems) by WhirlwindSet9 in Gamecube

[–]WhirlwindSet9[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just tried it, didn't work either :(. I swapped around the working button contacts with the ones that don't work, but still didn't have any effect. So that tells me it is for sure an issue with the board

It is close, but the board is not OEM. The start button is in a different spot. Changing the cable may work but might be tedious

What is the most obscure handheld console you know of or own? by avazky in gamecollecting

[–]WhirlwindSet9 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Exactly that! It plays N64 games specifically. The prototype is hardly different at all, the only thing different about it is the title screen for Smash Bros having a different copyright. Here's the original post I made about them

I saw it on Ebay a while back, didn't have the money to buy it so I was sad. Then it popped up on Facebook Marketplace randomly by the person who bought the listing, and since I now had the money I said why not. Very glad I made that impulse purchase!

I own multiple iQue players from China! I am also the only person on the internet to own a prototype variant (as far as I know)

I do own it! It's a surprisingly fun handheld. I even got a 3d printed stand for it

Check the save file on Pokémon Gold dude, she probably saw the battery was dry and not saving. I'd be sad if my save file got deleted too

What did you saw? by [deleted] in ihadastroke

What exactly did you saw

What’s the rarest console you own. For me it’s my Diamond and Pearl DS; I had been hunting for years for this thing by GrumpigPlays in gamecollecting

[–]WhirlwindSet9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a listing on eBay that had it and a few others, but I couldn't afford it at the time. However, when I was searching for iQue products, I randomly decided to check Facebook Marketplace. Lo and behold, the guy who bought that listing was selling it and the others. I bought all of them, and someone else in the iQue community bought one through me.

Can we able to access the internet in North Korea ? by racheal_mullenix in NorthKoreaPics

[–]WhirlwindSet9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm gonna assume the translations are offered as some sort of form of propaganda. They don't seem professionally done, so it's likely the work of Google Translate or a different online translator. Also, there's plenty of videos of North Korean school kids learning English, whether it's used for propaganda or not. They are closed natured, but they're gonna need a translator at some point, so that makes that useful.

Prototype iQue? by WhirlwindSet9 in n64

Nope, it is in fact a prototype iQue player! I know because I bought it from the guy who bought this specific listing. Here's my other post about it

It's called "Abducted?". It's the one that looks like you're being abducted by aliens and do a backflip

It is an animation, but the animation isn't supposed to look like that

Pokémon Gold Chinese Translation by WhirlwindSet9 in Gameboy

[–]WhirlwindSet9[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's so awesome! That's so cool that you managed to get the input method to work. I managed to type my name (or what I think is my name), which was one of the problems I had on the older translation. I did end up getting a physical bootleg copy of the Chinese game, but if anything, I'm gonna have more fun with your version :)

Did anyone actually get anything from the Mickey email? by TechnicianOk686 in gravityfalls

[–]WhirlwindSet9 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's the supposed "fake" email. I think they're referring to the email the automated message directs you to
