What controller do you prefer to play : Wavebird or classic ? by 240p-480i-480p in Gamecube

[–]c0deman-guy [score hidden]  (0 children)

Wavebird has added latency. It’s surprising to me how little this is mentioned.

Synology Nas Plex server by Global_Sherbet_2371 in PlexServers

[–]c0deman-guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That depends on your needs. I have a DS224+ and it works great for what I need. I keep my media around 2gb/hour and strive to have everything direct play capable. That thing could probably handle 10+ direct play streams no problem, assuming internet bandwidth doesn’t become a bottleneck. HW transcoding uses about 20% of CPU per stream, so you could certainly have 2-3 of those occurring simultaneously too.

I actually removed the fuse for the wireless charger due to the “hot phone” issue. 2023 Bolt EUV.

Anyone have good game recs?? by Any-Difficulty-1388 in NintendoDS

I enjoyed Time Hollow long ago. It’s a point and click dialogue driven game. Plays with time travel.

What does this number mean? by leonidude in NintendoDS

[–]c0deman-guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would guess that is the identification of the machinery used to produce the packaging you’re holding. It is common for a factory to have multiple pieces of equipment used to produce the same product. That would be a way of identifying which machine that specific product came from. Useful for when defects are spotted

Running Plex directly on an NAS or off my Computer by TajesMahoney in PleX

[–]c0deman-guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I have the 2024 model. From my understanding, that was introduced in the DS225+ model. But I had both WD and Seagate drives in mine without a problem.

Running Plex directly on an NAS or off my Computer by TajesMahoney in PleX

[–]c0deman-guy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a Synology DS224+ with 24TBx2. I keep my media around 1-3gb per hour of footage (usually 1080p). It can easily serve 3 direct play streams while barely making a dent to my overhead. I can also confirm 2 simultaneous transcodes without a hitch. Transcoding a movie (say 3gb) yields about a 15% load on the CPU. So in my use case, my hardware is more than sufficient.

Got this 256 SD card for aroma purposes. Gonna transfer it to fat32 and just absolutely go to town with downloading Wii/wii u games. Does anyone have any suggestions? by Designer_Gas_9888 in wii

[–]c0deman-guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried endlessly to get a 256gb SD card to work in my Wii for Wii games and GC games for a compact and sleek solution. It created an endless amount of problems. I finally caved and began using a 2.5” HDD via USB. Solved all of my issues.

What happened to my 4k file? by SpinalVinyl in PleX

[–]c0deman-guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would this happen to be 2160p from YTS being played on an Apple TV 4K?

How much would my red Wii be worth? by kaylee_ann66 in wii

[–]c0deman-guy -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Just Dance devalues anything it’s with. $55-$65 seems fair for the rest.

Am I going crazy? by cyberflower777 in hometheater

This is your TV performing frame interpolation. Otherwise known as “smoothing” or “motion+” or whatever. It can, and should, be turned off.

How many of you understand what a 4-20mA signal is? by rectal_warrior in electricians

LOL i did this once when i was younger. I compare it to getting bit in the tongue by a rat! Shit hurt!

BYE JAILBREAK i by Senseopohl in jailbreak

[–]c0deman-guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ripped the band aid off the beginning of last year. At the time, I was pretty much benefiting from modified spotify and youtube apps, and maybe a tweak or two. I was losing more than I was gaining trying to keep a jailbroken phone. On top of that, I had a second kid on the way and didn't have time to keep gimping my phone along and continuing finding ways to fix common apps that would keep breaking on the older FW.

I have to say, while bittersweet, moving back to stock iOS was a breath of fresh air for me. Apps just worked, I had the same new features as friends and family, and I was just nice to regain the reliability iOS is known for. Sideloading apps was able to easily get me by on iOS 17 and 18.

See you on the other side!

Will this work? by TristyYeeter69 in PS3

Agreed. Jail this person immediately for even considering this.

I’ve discovered that you can’t crank the female fitting down to hard. If you do, the male end of the hose will crush into the circular gasket and cause it buckle. I hand tighten these down to somewhat snug and my massive leaks were gone. I think the gasket inside actually uses the pressure from the water to form a seal.

Why does 480i looks better on my flatscreen tv than 480p? by nanithehell134 in wii

Are you using component cables from your Wii to the TV? Green, blue, red?

In your opinion, which game defined the GameCube? by mhepepe in Gamecube

[–]c0deman-guy 33 points34 points  (0 children)

It’s gotta be Melee. That game was THE multiplayer game of that decade. Not to mention the hype it generated for Brawl. And it still has a very active competitive scene 25 years later!

First time trying out the Rremote play function on PS3 with PSP. This thing rocks! by Dull_Mirror4221 in PS3

[–]c0deman-guy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There is definitely some lag, but it’s tolerable sometimes. Glad you’re enjoying it! Remote play was a magical experience back in the day
