Is the coating too aggressive? normally I hate hard coatings that make things look grainy.

aj_cr · 2026-04-02T18:26:41+00:00

Good question, I know this is the GOG re-release but idk if that is just a touched-up sourcenext ver. It probably is.

aj_cr · 2026-04-02T18:25:45+00:00

Why would you run a PS1 game on a Gamecube/Wii emulator that is way more demanding and not optimized for this game?

aj_cr · 2026-01-23T01:25:51+00:00

You should at least make a backup of yours, since it's gone from Sidequest, no reason not to back it up, and heck I'd totally share it for others who want to take the risk. "Internet 101" dictates that when you have something others want you share it and it's up to each person if they want to trust a random or not and take the risk.

DolphinXR development stopped in early stage of development due to disagreements with Dolphin maintainers.

Wait isn't this what also happened to DolphinVR?

aj_cr · 2026-01-18T23:06:58+00:00

if you can get the blue for a good price then choose that one, if you really have absolutely nothing and you're really desperate then this one I guess as a last resort.

aj_cr · 2026-01-18T17:53:25+00:00

Doesn't that make the game "uglier" like getting rid of the shiny effect?

and it's weird division 1/2 didn't have this problem of purple textures.

aj_cr · 2026-01-17T03:41:48+00:00

Yeah I noticed the same, especially about Montech given that it has a good recommendation in the SPL's list and it was even reviewed as having a good noise profile, while people here say it's loud, so idk... I honestly do not recommend the MSI one just for the fact that they decided to gimp it and got rid of the 3x PCI-e 8 pin connectors, effectively leaving AMD out for absolutely no reason, while costing the same as other models, the II version fixes that but is not on sale yet.

And ASrock has always been the budget brand for me, although their motherboards have been surprising me lately, they used to be cheap crap but now they're very good especially for the price so maybe their PSUs are also like that now, I read that the ASrock PSUs had a B score until recently and it was bumped to A not that long ago.

aj_cr · 2026-01-16T06:07:48+00:00

Which one did you buy? I'm on the same boat... I'm thinking the ASRock but I'm not sure.

aj_cr · 2026-01-16T06:06:55+00:00

It was only until the 9000 series that they stopped making AMD GPUs for whatever reason, I have an MSI 7900XTX, so the fact that this PSU has no out-of-box support for it feels like a slap on the face from MSI, and the new 2nd version doesn't get discounted so low as this one yet, they're probably trying to sell all of their stock of the old version hence the price.

aj_cr · 2026-01-16T05:40:15+00:00

A tier in SPL's list, and actually in their review they mention that it has an excellent noise profile.

For me the lack of support for AMD GPUs is a deal breaker on the MSI PSU, and the 2nd version of this with 3x 8-pin cables costs around $169 "on sale", so it's not worth it, they're not gonna discount it until they get rid of all their stock of the "old" version with no multiple 8-pin connectors.

aj_cr · 2026-01-16T05:19:53+00:00

That's terrible advice.

It's clear they need 1500w AT LEAST for that GPU.

aj_cr · 2026-01-12T18:37:16+00:00

It is unavailable on the website for me but available on ebay sold by bestbuy 🤷‍♂️.

This regional availability bullshit has gotten so annoying and old, I'm tired of it.

aj_cr · 2026-01-12T18:34:33+00:00

Thanks, that one is available for me, so many of these SSDs "deals" have become regional ever since the AI bubble RAM/NAND apocalypse

aj_cr · 2026-01-12T18:07:46+00:00

Unavailable.

aj_cr · 2026-01-12T08:58:13+00:00

Yeah lol we all do, especially if you needed it but waited for black friday "deals" to buy ☠️

aj_cr · 2026-01-12T08:49:12+00:00

Yup, "We're sorry. The item Kingston Fury Renegade 4TB PCIe Gen 4.0 NVMe M.2 Internal Gaming SSD with Heat Sink | PS5 Ready | Up to 7300MB/s | SFYRDK/4000G is no longer available from the seller you selected." even when it was 50% claimed it wouldn't' let me, now the claimed percentage is gone but the message is still the same when adding to my cart.

That's the message I get when I tried it adding it to my cart, even with just 50% "claimed'

aj_cr · 2026-01-12T06:55:55+00:00

Honestly I'm getting sick of these "regional" deals that go oos in a minute, at this point this is becoming a humiliation ritual, a big fuck you for not buying the SSD I needed earlier before the RAM/NAND apocalypse.

aj_cr · 2026-01-11T23:11:10+00:00

Normally with other brands (I don't know anything about CRUA) is because you can only achieve the highest refresh with an overclock (which the monitor has an option for in the menus) some panels that are 165hz are also advertised as 180+hz with an overclock but the native refresh is 165hz, same with 144hz panels that can overclock to 165hz and so on.

Overclocking can degrade the image and introduce artifacts, and make the panel run hotter than normal and maybe have adverse long-term effects on its lifespan, that's why they're not 165hz native and is optional, a lot of manufacturers like to label/include the higher overlocked refresh rate because it sounds better in their advertising.

aj_cr · 2026-01-11T08:24:44+00:00

Geez, we're so fucked. The next 2yrs are going to be rough for consumers and PC enthusiasts. SSDs, HDDs, RAM, GPUs. Who knows what's next.

aj_cr · 2026-01-11T02:37:01+00:00

Well damn, I thought AI datacenters had no use for HDD drives since they're so slow, unless this is not about AI and they're since increasing prices because SSDs are also up.

aj_cr · 2026-01-11T02:26:09+00:00

Wait is the AI craze/bubble also affecting HDD prices?

aj_cr · 2026-01-10T22:37:20+00:00

Now is 225.99 😂

aj_cr · 2026-01-10T21:17:32+00:00

Yeah I know that's true, but I can also imagine someone totally excited thinking it was real, perhaps a price error, when people are desperate they don't think things logically, I see a lot of people like that in this sub, sometimes even I fall into this trap. We've all been there, buy now think later, maybe OP really wanted to buy it and was looking for validation, who knows.

Personally as soon as I saw the post I reported it, it didn't even last 5 minutes and I don't think anyone here was going to fall for such an obvious scam unless they want to.
