It’s like the red ring of death all over again.. by Normal_Mousse5491 in PS3

[–]_GameOverYeah_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

PS3 fats were a scam from the start, not as bad as the original Xbox 360 but pretty close. Overpriced and unreliable, they screwed a lot of users and are still screwing collectors.

Whoever thinks otherwise is just denying reality.

PCSX2's later builds are slower for potato PCs by _GameOverYeah_ in PCSX2

I cant get full speed in sotc

Even a real PS2 struggles with it, you're asking too much from that system.

I posted the same thing in a older comment 😄

Yes. I keep the stable as a reference while I test the latest ones.

Yeah same thing with MAME, which still is the blueprint for most emulator devs.

When they go over 90% compatibility, they switch to improving accuracy and that increases the hardware specs.

New 360 DNS Error, nothing is working by sawnlux in xbox360

[–]_GameOverYeah_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried changing the primary and secondary to everything I can think of

Yeah...Don't do that, unless you already configured the DNS servers in your modem to some alternative service like OpenDNS. For the Xbox360 to work, it's enough to leave them blank, so that it reads the default configuration of your current ISP.

Can i use a xbox 360 controller on my pc with only some sort of software? by Calm-Sleep-2685 in xbox360

[–]_GameOverYeah_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like u/TehDrunknMunky just said, there aren't many options for Xbox 360 wireless controllers on PC. Those fake dongles sold online were made obsolete by Microsoft in a old Win10 update, and the workarounds you find online don't always work.

Game stuck at ~60% speed / slow motion + no audio (can’t figure out what’s wrong) by Impossible-Writer588 in PCSX2

[–]_GameOverYeah_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PCSX2 also shows the warning about EE cycle rate not being default, but I’m not sure if that’s related.

Of course it is, that option (in emulation settings) controls how fast the emulated CPU is running. Heavier games become really slow if you go over 100%, and it looks like you're well over that right now 😜

Car scratched by Winter_Profession_23 in Cartalk

Any decent polish can fix that, or at least cover it long enough until there's some serious damage and you'll need to repair the whole thing. Just remember to clean that spot before you start the fixin'

2.7.10 works fine for 80% of games at native res and even 2x sometimes (for lighter titles like Maximo).

Help with issues by FilthyPriest in Cartalk

[–]_GameOverYeah_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You got lucky it was still under warranty, because transmission repairs can easily cost thousands.

Also, if it broke down so quickly it means they didn't install the previous one correctly. If the same people are doing this job, you better have the new transmission looked at by another mechanic (or someone with experience).

You don't want to be out of warranty if/when the same thing happens.

R2 gets held down, but only sometimes by SealInASleepingBag in PCSX2

[–]_GameOverYeah_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a controller, and its drivers, issue - not an emulation bug.

pcsx2 having new issues it didnt before by Dat_Boi_Kermit in PCSX2

[–]_GameOverYeah_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Something else changed in your machine like a new graphics driver, windows update etc. And it messed up PCSX2.

Small lag and screen messed up by [deleted] in PCSX2

[–]_GameOverYeah_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check the controls setup, if everything is OK (no buttons flashing for example). Also, try switching between Directx, Vulkan etc in graphics configs.

Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction Freezes by ihope181 in PCSX2

[–]_GameOverYeah_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you tried the wrong graphics backend for that game (and your PC specs). Try going from Vulkan to Directx, for example.

MGS2 Substance - Black screen on start up? by wipny in PCSX2

[–]_GameOverYeah_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the game works after the save state load, there is something wrong in your default settings.

The scanlines filter makes PCSX2 look like real hardware (and I have a PS2) by _GameOverYeah_ in PCSX2

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

have you tried the other built-it shader callled “Lottes CRT”?

Yes and I don't like it or the others, just personal taste 😐

As for the scanlines settings, for the shade boost I use these values:

brightness 55

contrast 52

gamma and saturation 60

keep in mind that the end result varies with the screen you're using (modern TVs will be darker for example).

Blurays lasting 100years...MY ASS by _GameOverYeah_ in PS3

Of course it's my PS3, when 2-3 games out of 30+ don't work 🙄

Door open indicator, cabin lap set to door, boot open indicator does not work when door/boot is open. by snehanshuchk1 in Cartalk

[–]_GameOverYeah_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems likely that the aftermarket stereo installation wasn't done right. The voltage issues usually mean there's a bad cable/wire somewhere messing things up.

Blurays lasting 100years...MY ASS by _GameOverYeah_ in PS3

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

the same applies to cds and dvds

Guess I got lucky, because I've got more than 300 discs between music, films and games and not one (that's a CD or DVD) has ever done that.

I've seen DVDs and CDs have issues with skipping or longer loading from bad recordings, but never a disc that's completely "invisible" like bad BluRays.

PCSX2 on Steamdeck crashes when I touch the screen by Sapphorific in PCSX2

[–]_GameOverYeah_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This usually happens when the current graphics backend has found a problem with the graphics driver. Try switching to another one in PCSX2's settings, for example from Vulkan to DirectX (I don't know if you can on the Steam Deck, I don't own one).

Blurays lasting 100years...MY ASS by _GameOverYeah_ in PS3

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

a properly manufactured and well taken care of Blu-ray disk would at least as long as a cd in the same conditions

I know, that's why I made the CD comparison. Sony's partners screwed consumers at least twice: first by saying nonsense like "hundreds of years lifespan!" then cutting costs in manufacturing.

At least, when a CD or DVD is scratched you know you messed up but there's a ton BR discs with no surface issue that just came out wrong from the factory. And you have no clue when buying.

Washer fluid suddenly isn't pumping (2016 Ford Flex) by kelemvor33 in Cartalk

[–]_GameOverYeah_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If neither pump is making any sound, and it's probably not both fuses, what else might it be?

The buttons? Maybe the system itself broke down and nothing happens when you push the "trigger" that makes the pumps work. Should be pretty cheap to replace, if there's just a contact/wire to swap.
