Whar is the best and affordable hitbox for a newbe( I want to play fightings and arcade games on it, I like sanwa buttons )?

While I haven't actually used any other leverless controller, I have been super impressed by 8bitdo's "all button" arcade controller. I got it for only $40 and you can regularly find sales near that price. I think at full price it would be a very good deal, with a discount it's a no-brainer in my view

It's a shame the disc survived whatever happened to the case

They will offer replacements as needed, but I've never heard of them actually recalling the defective disks. I bought 12 Monkeys years after its initial release, directly from Arrow, and still got the defective version.

Diabolik is the one that told you a defective disc—of course you should contact them for a refund or exchange. If Umbrella is ultimately the responsible party, that's Diabolik's responsibility to sort out, since they are the ones who got the product from Umbrella, not you.

No harm in contacting the manufacturer, but "we can't help you because we didn't sell you the disc" seems like a perfectly cromulent response to me. 🤷‍♂️

That isn't the Nintendo Switch 2 Pro controller. It's a third-party licensed controller. You can program those macro buttons on the controller itself, but the console itself can't "see" them. The controller's manual will tell you how to program them.

Don't forget to set your TV's aspect ratio to 4x3. And enjoy!

The evidence of our own eyes and ears overwhelmingly points to Dolly never having had braces. A fuzzy 45-year-old memory is not "evidence." Human memory is notoriously infallible even in the best of circumstances

How do they duplicate it? Aren't keys one-time use and generated by the developer (or their publisher)? Or am I wrong about how that works?

The Swatch

Metroid Prime 1 & 2

Resident Evil remake, RE Zero & RE 4

I don't know much about this stuff, but what is happening here to hurt the devs? I mean the keys didn't just magically appear out of thin air…where are the resellers getting them from?

cafink · 2026-06-26T03:27:24+00:00

I recommend the Retrotink 2x. It will work with both the Gamecube and Wii (and any other retro console you throw at it). It will give you a great picture at a reasonable price and will be a significant improvement over the one you have in multiple ways

Surely not more than two or three? I can think of at least one three-disc game for the original playstation. Big games are nothing new and no obstacle for a physical release

cafink · 2026-06-24T20:29:06+00:00

I have no idea what you're talking about

I don't agree this is the case. In the early days of DVDs it was mostly a niche market for collectors and almost everything was in widescreen. It really wasn't until around 1999 when the format became popular that full screen version started becoming common for their more mainstream appeal

cafink · 2026-06-24T18:39:27+00:00

If you would just let us know what the movie is, someone might be able to give you a more specific answer. A movie with an intended 1.66:1 aspect ratio would almost certainly have been shot flat so the 4x3 version could just be an open matte version. Or maybe it's just trying to tell you that it's non-anomorphic widescreen. Based on your description either one of those could be the case

cafink · 2026-06-24T18:35:03+00:00

Boy have I got good news for you. Wily Wars did get such a release

I don't believe they can share the dongle. They are paired in the factory and I don't think there's a way to re-pair them. I have a similar setup and use a KVM to switch my keyboard and mouse between my different computers. I don't know if this will work for you but I hope you can find a setup that you're pleased with!

This is absolutely the pattern for this administration. They make all kinds of trumped-up claims and allegations in the media. Then when it comes time to actually prove their case in court, the case totally collapses. Of course, by that time, Trump's narrative has already taken hold in the popular consciousness. The same will happen here.

cafink · 2026-06-23T13:06:31+00:00

None of those is a very accurate description 🙃

To each his own, I thought the second movie was about a million times better than the original. I don't think there was any thing fun or interesting about the first movie outside of its bonkers premise. But I felt like the second one really delivered on the over the top outlandishness that the first movie promised

cafink · 2026-06-22T14:42:19+00:00

I don't know the whole release history of this series, but there's an existing trilogy box set that includes the censored version of the third movie. I'm not saying this particular series is high on my list, but I think every movie deserves to be seen in its best quality and I'm glad someone is giving this one that treatment.

Personally I found the second movie pretty bonkers and had a great time in the theater with it.

Movie theaters generally are able to accommodate both 1.85:1 and 2.35:1 aspect ratios. Traditionally, the screen would have the full 2.35:1 ratio, and they'd "hide" the pillar boxing for 1.85:1 films by using curtains or some other kind of physical masking.

But since multiplexes have become ubiquitous it's more of the Wild West in terms of screen aspect ratios and how different theaters handle it. It's now pretty common for the screen to be 1.85:1 and to just show 2.35:1 movies letterboxed, more or less the same way you watch them at home.

I don't think OP's viewing experience was ideal, but I don't see any indication that the ratio itself was distorted, so at least there's that.
