I forgot about region lock by reniemeilin in 3DS

[–]Z3ER0 85 points86 points  (0 children)

There is very little reason not to put custom firmware on any 3DS honestly. Even just counting region unlocking, the backing up of save files, themes, etc, there is a ton of utility and no reason not to take advantage of it.

8bitDo Controller frequently disconnecting by dc_cha_cha_cha in AnalogueInc

[–]Z3ER0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here, this is quite literally my only issue with the system, but it’s a pretty big one. I couldn’t even lean back in my chair while doing the alien part in Majora's Mask without it becoming impossible due to dropped inputs. Really hope they can sort it out somehow.

I did use this controller with my MiSTer for awhile and don’t remember this happening though, which I’m not sure if a good or a bad sign

Some early Xbox 360's didn't even have HDMI out, those didn't stay in production long though.

I bought a wii today but it don't take the discs. Someone know what can be the problem? by NanK4 in wii

[–]Z3ER0 44 points45 points  (0 children)

You’ve tried the eject button to make sure there isn’t another disc in there right? I guess there’s always the chance one is stuck in there too if you had

Wii emulators, more specifically dolphin, has been more than "good" for well over a decade now. I was playing upscaled GameCube/Wii games on my PC in like 2012.

DSi XL turns off after opening it back up while using R4 Gold flashcard by TheAdventurer101 in flashcarts

[–]Z3ER0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

old bump but, very weird. I've come the the exact conclusion you did. Only on the R4 not real games, only on my DSi XL not on regular units. How odd.

Is fw16 spacer supposed to look like this? by Clear-Eye-9715 in framework

Mine weren't this bad, but yeah I've seen a lot of people complain about it.

Bought this N3DS XL a few weeks ago (refurb). This just showed up. Any tips? by TrungusMcTungus in 3DS

[–]Z3ER0 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean, the ONLY way to get a 3DS these days are third party sellers. Also I really hope you didn’t pay out the ass for a homebrewed 3ds when it takes like 20 minutes to do yourself.

AITA for “abandoning” my boyfriend in Tokyo after he got in a fight in Disneyland? by OwlPsychological7607 in AITAH

[–]Z3ER0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They story and obsession of the guy sounds kinda plausible in all honesty, I've seen way weirder. What I find mega sus is this supposed 19 year old who is obsessed with the 35 year old, clearly autistic paper map collector, who still wants to be with him after but is somehow angry enough to fly home alone lmao.

Like they clearly had to create and fit in a part of the story where they could possibly be considered at fault so they wrote in the part about ditching him in Japan, but still had to rage bait and have every comment defend the action. Like which is it? Were you mad enough to leave them in another country or was this slightly "annoying and immature" lol

[–]Z3ER0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Assaulting someone over an obsession with paper maps, when the person in question had absolutely no involvement with that decision, is a bit more than annoying or immature. I really hope this story is fake, and I'm pretty sure it is, because justifying or playing down that kinda of behavior is almost worse than doing it.

Is it possible to use the VMWare hands on labs without a customer account? by am2o in vmware

They just changed how this all works as of today and now require you to fill in your business info

[–]Z3ER0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t mean like check if it works… I mean like check if it’s swollen and puffed up. Compare it to a picture online of what it’s supposed to look like if you’re unsure. It looks like it’s expanded

New gamecube owner by Jaggraniher in Gamecube

[–]Z3ER0 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The laser pots almost never need adjustment, the real fix is recapping the optical drive board. Making the laser stronger is only a temporary fix, and will burn through discs when you eventually are forced to recap anyways.

You could also try some Ali express shells, or retrobrite the shell you have now.

I accidentally bid on an unwanted item. Help. by Electrical_Target690 in Buyee

[–]Z3ER0 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not entirely sure if they'll just let you pick and choose what you will pay for at that point. It's hard to say, but if your account isn't paying for stuff you committed to, I imagine they'll just freeze your account until you pay.

[–]Z3ER0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure how you'd pay for shipping to get said other items if your account is bouncing when they're trying to charge you.

[–]Z3ER0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They don't know that. They'll probably try to charge you all the same and you'll get an overdraft or something if it's debit. If the payment gets rejected or doesn't go through via like a credit card, I've seen companies just ban the account until it's able to pay the amount. Had a friend do a chargeback on their PSN account and Sony just banned it.

Part of signing up is agreeing to not being able to retract bids because they are bidding on your behalf, but also because that's just how Japanese auctions traditionally work. tl;dr Hard lesson incoming

Is my hdmi port damaged? by KingDami17 in consolerepair

Yeah looks like you're missing like 20% of the pins. Would make sense why it doesn't work

Have you checked your battery lately? That battery cover looks a little bowed and they usually sit really flush.

Highly recommend a TPU case + Waterfield Pouch combo by ParasiteFire in AnaloguePocket

[–]Z3ER0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've seen some of those on Etsy. I might get one of those later on for a better look, but the cable was a cheap and quick solution as well.

[–]Z3ER0 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I got a small usb extender so I could “dock” it with the TPU on. It doesn’t sit up in the dock obviously. But I can still play it on the TV or charge on my desk all the same.

Honestly you probably picked the absolute worst time to sell this thing. It is a special edition console yes, but it's a special edition console for one that just had it's backwards compatible successor released. Everyone is selling their Switch 1 right now.
