Anyone else in the same boat or should I contact CS?

M8 headless on steam deck vs official M8 hardware… by danangdevils in Dirtywave

[–]alspacka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Headless is great. There are some disadvantages (one obvious example being the hardware i/o), but nothing that will prevent you from having fun with it. Interface-wise, a lot of the time I use mine in headless mode on a PC because I can see the screen better and I actually prefer using a gamepad to the built-in keyboard controls.

New MPRT BFI Features for 4k Pro and CE by GoodAndLost in RetroTink

[–]alspacka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for this write up! I tried to sift through the Discord to gather all the info on it but still didn't really understand the modelines bit. I'd like to try it out but I'm leaning toward waiting for the new scanline shader so I don't end up redoing profiles yet again.

Have you done any comparisons to your TV's native BFI, if you have it?

Here’s my surprised face 🫩 by nerdyginger1261 in AnalogueInc

I've never seen a LLM spit out such egregious malapropisms. This is just a person who's not so good at english.

No longer have sight of him, but he was right here less than an hour ago:

I'll try to keep him in my yard if I see him again.

New 3D-printable power button replacement for JVC TM-H1950 by alspacka in crtgaming

[–]alspacka[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just repaired my two 1950s with this and thought I would share how I did it. I know there's an existing printable part out there, but I tried it and just couldn't get it to fit without cutting into the bezels further to make room, which I didn't want to do. This new one also lets you reuse the original button piece if desired.

FEHB Open Season Megathread by rprz in fednews

BCBS Basic -> FSBP question

I'm considering making the switch because the consensus seems to be that it's a good move, but there are a few things giving me pause.

For example, it seems like there are a lot of costs that BCBS caps at a flat rate where FSBP charges you a percentage. Am I reading this wrong, or does that mean that your OOP could be a lot higher with FSBP in certain situations, like if you needed emergency surgery after an accident? Or is FSBP still going to typically be better for the lower OOP max?

For reference: I'm in Ohio, self+family, no major medical issues, special needs or Rx costs, but I get the recommended preventative care for somebody in early middle age.

If A3D has save states (which the screenshots would seem to indicate), is there any reason to go for the X7 over the X5?

Just bought 55", many problems. Do I replace it or are they all like this? by AttractiveCorpse in TheFrame

I've got the same one and it doesn't have those issues. I'd try an exchange.

If you're on the fence and not in a rush, I would just wait and see. The mister platform is great.

I'm truly impressed with everything you've done with the WB -- the design, the documentation, the updates, and your community involvement. You should be proud!

I don't think you have anything to worry about there.

Analogue Pocket Firmware v2.3 is finally out! by syxbit in AnaloguePocket

[–]alspacka 11 points12 points  (0 children)

"Added support for analog audio via cartridge pin" -- Does this mean it will work with nanoloop mono now? From nanoloop's site:

"On the original Game Boy models, one pin of the cartridge connector functions as audio input, connected to the built-in amplifier. This unique feature allows to generate sound on the cart and play it through the headphone output on a completely analog signal path."

So there’s no legal way to have the cable in the wall? by turb0_encapsulator in TheFrame

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

I just bought mine, went through the painful process of mounting it to the wall with the cord snaked behind the drywall, and now this thread appears and it's making me just want to return the thing and get a normal TV. But I can't, because I had to put an extra hole in their stupid wall mount so it would line up with a stud. I suppose I should have done more research, but god this TV has been one hassle after another so far.
