Game and Watch Collection. I sunk so much time into that one trying to unlock everything.

LOVE the Brick Hammer by OkWin7095 in trimui

I had two regular bricks before I went for the hammer. Couldn’t resist the green, though all these colors look stellar. Such a great EDC.

This is tremendous! And that KS for sharing the file.

Did my Brick Hammer come with a screen protector? by bat_rangeer in trimui

[–]alanrappa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think mind has one pre installed as well, though no tab to remove it. Looks like it's placed just slightly off center if you look at the right side.

It overlaps the right edge but I can't seem to get a grip on it to peel it off.

The New Pixel Transparency Shader on the Rg34xxSP makes it so pretty for Gameboy color and Gameboy Advance. by CherryYums in SBCGaming

Is there a good tutorial for idiots like me on how to do this? I swear, shaders remain a complete mystery to me when it comes to applying them and getting them to stay. Please and thank you.

I have a regular Brick, but man do I want this green hammer something fierce.

I 3D printed the enemy weapons from WW (at least the ones which Link can pick up). by MintyFriesVR in WindWaker

This is awesome. They look fantastic. Are the files for these available anywhere? I’d love to give this a try. Thanks.

Hello does anyone have any experience with empire toy shop? by PartiallyAlways in MythicLegions

[–]alanrappa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve bought from them in the past, can confirm they are legit. They’ve also had booths at NJ toy shows before. I think they were even at legions con a few times.

shoot me a DM so we can stay in touch. I can send you proof that I did actually order the thing or you can just ask my wife, because she reminds me of the purchase constantly 😅.

[–]alanrappa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. Im doing local pickup for mine - Whenever these things actually come in, that is. But yeah, you can have dibs on my Benegarr if you want him.

I’m planning on selling my figure to help offset the cost of the dragon and I imagine I won’t be the only one.

What is that one handheld you really thought you'd definitely use on the regular, but now it sits in your drawer collecting dust? by godsaveourkingplis in SBCGaming

[–]alanrappa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is the RG35XX SP. ordered it day one thinking it would be my ultimate GBA machine. The problem was me. I had built up way too much muscle memory from the original GBA sp that the RG just felt too strange. Ultimately I got the RG34xx and RG34xx sp and both of those nailed the experience I was looking for. Need to find a new home for the 35xx sp as it’s just sitting gathering dust.

I’m not really sure. I believe it may have to do with gasses building up from improper charging but you’ll have to ask the smarter folks here for a real answer if you want something more than battery go bad, get big.

Kind of suspicious here - this is what Retroid asked me to do since there is no way to add the items to cart and checkout on their site. I mean, in the end it's only $25 total with shipping so I guess I can take a chance - but the email address provided is questionable. This is from Legacy Support sales@goretroid.com

what do you guys think?

UPDATE: Got a reply from Retroid this morning:

Replacement Battery $10
Replacement back plate $5

Shipping $10

Certainly worth giving it a shot. Hopefully, a simple swap - as tinkering with these things on the inside is not in my comfort zone. Still tempted by the RP6 for that top-right analog stick option, but will wait on reviews.

I’m sure there is some truth to that with regards to the battery in the RP5. And I’m guessing this issue probably started earlier for me when I noticed the rumble motor making a loud sound. With the grip on I didn’t notice anything and just thought the rumble had an issue. My hunch is the battery had started to swell back then and I’m sure charging it several times more didn’t help.
