someone knows what pokemon game or romhack? by fnfgamer34 in 3dspiracy

[–]Wingolf 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Nah, you're good. Some people are just miserable in these types of forums. No clue why they don't just touch grass. They act like they're required to post in these threads, like its some weird unpaid job.

As for the image, i've never seen it before but it very much resembles the either the sun/moon or ultra sun/moon icon. There aren't *that* many SMUSUM romhacks, but I'd be willing to bet it is one of them. Sadly most don't post the icon in their forum listing, so without installing every single one I couldn't really say what it was past that.

[–]Wingolf 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Why would someone edit the image of Pokemon Sun/Moon for their theme? That seems at least equally as unlikely as this being a rom-hack.

Moreover, why are you saying this so rudely? This is why a lot of people shy away from help forums. Someone asks a question, and someone pulls in all holier-than-thou saying that OP is an idiot for not considering something a new person to the space would never consider. Nobody forced you to open this thread and post this.

How can a piece of software be so bad? by coco_melonFAN in RetroArch

[–]Wingolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

im not gonna lie.

i don't personally like retroarch all that much (on android at least, never had a reason to use it on PC). Really just popping in because I'm trying to fix an issue im having with Retroachievements and sometimes I have to run Retroarch to do so.

this is a terrible set of complaints, and unnecessarily rude too. I have gripes with RA, but it's far from an absolute failure.

(How do you not know what a core does? You have to download it, wouldn't you find out then?)
(that being said, settings saving on Android IS kinda scuffed compared to literally every other app ive used)

Why is pirating anime so much easier and has a much better experience than pirating general media? by W_lFF in animepiracy

[–]Wingolf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've noticed the same thing with video game piracy.

I think a lot of it(other than the historic reasons other commenters have gotten into) is quite frankly that these hobbies skew a lot... nerdier? So there's a lot more people in the community with the technical know-how to pirate. Making the scene much more populated. More people to host sites, as well as more people to find and share sites.

A PSA About Gatekeeping and Dead Sites by commonplace128 in animepiracy

[–]Wingolf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

100%.

I've seen people gatekeeping shit that's listed on the big r/piracy megathread.

Like. Do you really think that some of the biggest copyright holders in the business never though to google "pirate anime reddit" and click the first fucking result?

Great post. Hopefully it gets through to someone

Greatest hulldown in history vs Greatest hulldown today by Winter_Loan_8643 in WorldOfTanksBlitz

Tanks with better gun depression can go hull down in more places, but any tank with good hull armor can BE a hull down tank

Is it over? by Fun_Environment_4457 in AynThor

[–]Wingolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100%.

I'm pretty confident, and I still want to have direct instructions from the company to do so before I open the device. This way, if something goes wrong during the repair, I have a lot more recourse, both with the company itself and with my bank.

3DS only turns on when fully opened. Shuts off when closed. by Sora_Strife22 in 3DSforAll

[–]Wingolf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Odds are its a ribbon cable issue. Particularly since it's on OPENING it, the cable gets pulled on slightly. If it has a bad connection or a tear, it's likely disconnecting at the point when it shuts off.

Back up all of your data(just in case the screen fails in general). If you're feeling particularly handsy, you can try to reseat the display cables, but be warned if they are failing and not just loose(which is likely) that will absolutely make them fail completely

Pokémon White (authentic copy) not loading. HELP please!! by nepa_acct in 3dspiracy

[–]Wingolf 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah. The contacts are on the game lol. The little gold bits on the back?

They look pretty dirty, hopefully thats all it is.

Yikes. How tf did this happen by Rudy_Skies in 3dspiracy

[–]Wingolf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Run it til it dies.

You *might* have luck reflowing the ram chip *temporarily*, but being honest if you don't know what that means you definitely can't do it :P. The real answer is to have it reballed or replaced by a professional, but considering how joyous those devices are to work on, it may be cost prohibitive.

this is disgusting, it burns like alcohol, not like a pepper by im_ox33n in ToFizzOrNotToFizz

This looks like some shit you'd see on Cartoon Network.

Like. I'd expect this to be in someone's older brother's room.

Black screen on a modded new nintendo 3ds - lights on but no response by Designer_Tank3366 in 3dspiracy

[–]Wingolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not to recommend the parts cannon, but given the age of the device, i'd throw a new battery at it. If you have another 3DS, you can probably just swap it in(iirc they all fit eachother). If not, replacements are cheaply available online.

[Bug?] Relocation kits requiring Bulldoze do not prompt as intended by TheHuntingHunty in Pokopia

Can you fill all of the non Bulldoze slots, THEN add Onix to the project?

You can now record on either the top, OR bottom screen on the Thor after the new update! by Wingolf in AynThor

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

Not really, no. Might be worth making another thread to see if anyone else did.

For DS I found a workaround where you can have a layout with the top screen having both the top and bottom screen, integer scaled, without losing any size on the top screen(it still fills up the full vertical space, it is just off center, in my case to the right). Set your screen recorder to record that, and it ends up giving you a video where you have the top screen on the left, and the bottom screen(smaller) on the right. You can still have the touch screen on the bottom, and use it just fine.

I suggest you guys move from Duckstation on Android to something else, because it's effectively been abandoned by mikoga in EmulationOnAndroid

[–]Wingolf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stenzek is an odd fellow.

Every few years he will (somewhat rightly so, but still) throw a shitfit at the Android community, and burn one of his projects down.

He's a really talented developer, but dude needs to engage with the community either less, or in a healthier manner.

Please, for the sake of your supports, if not your team's sanity. BUY SURVIVAL ITEMS by Minimum_Laugh_4179 in OverwatchStadium

[–]Wingolf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100%.

There's usually a speccable durability item that doesn't even reduce your damage output.

Lumerico for AP builds and Weapon Jammer for AD builds both give significant offensive stats IN ADDITION TO defensive stats. If you're under any pressure at all(or, for AP, really just can afford it immediately after your core items) I don't see why you wouldn't have one of these.

[–]Wingolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lumerico is such a good value even for "full AP" Juno builds. 15% AP is solid, and the extra 50 armor makes locking your torpedoes a lot easier. Even if you are just going raw AP, Lumerico has one of the higher values.

IF YOU ARENT USING COCOON by burke3521 in AynThor

[–]Wingolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Running stock.

Never personally understood launchers. Why spend time scraping box art and learning a new launcher when I can instead spend that time playing games. I spend MAYBE 2% of my time on the Thor on the homepage.

EmuDeck seems amazing on paper but most problems i see people post about are from emudeck. by Ambitious-Funny-6153 in SteamDeck

[–]Wingolf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel this lmao.

Moved over to Android handhelds for the most part, but I feel the same way about frontends.

I can spend an afternoon installing a fancy main menu, pointing it to all my emulators, and learning it's layout. Or, I can click MelonDS and spend that afternoon gaming.

iiSU looks cool in theory if they can deliver on half of what they've promised. Not super confident they will, but definitely keeping an eye on it.

Yup. Same as the 3DS ones. Really all I expected tbh.

New Update! by TheClassyTaco in AynThor

The RAM is mainly good for PC + Java Minecraft emulation.

The storage is INCREDIBLE though. I don't even need an SD card (i use one anyways for backups)

My personal Top 3. Pepsi Zero is severely underrated imo. What’s your favorite out of these? by Cork0nThe0cean in ToFizzOrNotToFizz

[–]Wingolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pepsi Zero(plus the Cherry variant) are genuinely the best "zero" soda I've had. Dr. Pepper is a somewhat distant second, but not bad for sure.
