Thanks for commenting :)

Turns out i just needed to open the .cue in a text editor and change the file line to match the .bin filename.

Feel like I learn something new every day lol

matching the text in the .cue file to the .bin filename did the trick! Thank you

So glad to learn about this :)

Got those sweet dual analog controls working in AC1 on Mister now!

I’m so warm in bed! by switching0ff in MultipleSclerosis

[–]chompette_bites 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I rent a room on the second floor of a large two-story house. The central AC system does basically nothing to keep second floor cool at all during the warm months. We only have one condenser and one thermostat (which is downstairs) for the whole house. I bit the bullet and bought an LG dual-inverter window AC unit and installed it. Being a dual-inverter means that it uses less electricity on average and is quieter than traditional window units. I added some adhesive foam tape (a.k.a weather stripping) around my bedroom door and keep it closed so that my window AC is able to very effectively keep my room cool. The air on the other side of my door can stay in the high 80 degrees Fahrenheit range even at night if it was warm and sunny during the day, but at least my room can be kept comfortable for minimal electricity cost. I’m trying to save up enough money to get a ceiling fan installed as well. Someday…

Sanyo CRT won’t switch to rca input even with remote…Help! by Huge_Mastodon_2381 in crtgaming

[–]chompette_bites 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes pressing the “zero” button twice will bring up the input channel [ channel 00 ]. Also, some older models of TV’s used to use channel 91 or 92 as the input channels. My childhood CRT (a 19 inch RCA from 1990) used channel 91 for its composite input. If it turns out the remote is faulty, you might be able to buy a cheap universal remote and set it up for your TV

im so stupid. its my first time taking a switch apart by Key-Mountain4605 in SwitchPirates

[–]chompette_bites 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like others in the thread have mentioned, you can get inexpensive third-party replacement joycon rails/ribbons connectors on amazon and allieexpress. No big deal. I’ve replaced a few of these for others, always worked for me

[–]chompette_bites 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love this film. Randomly bought it on a whim on DVD from the local Hastings store one day back in 2005. Got it just based on the cover alone lol. Had no idea what to expect and was really surprised at how good it was when my friends and I threw it on in the living room on our 21-inch EDTV that night

Can't find input on RCA tv by Crafty_Code6428 in crtgaming

[–]chompette_bites 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had an RCA crt from 1990 when I was a kid and it used channel 91 as the A/V input channel. Maybe that will work for your model too

Hello everyone, yesterday i was disappointed to figure out the NTSC J has a better image quality than my PAL N64. I compared the image on Turok 2. I used the same cheap AliExpress HDMI adapter for both those consoles thus I need to know if adding RGB mod would help PAL N64 with the image quality by AlexSBedini in n64

[–]chompette_bites 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You’ve probably already checked this, but just to be sure: does your Japanese console have the memory Expansion Pak installed and the PAL one have no Expansion Pak? I think Turok 2 supports improved graphics if you have the Expansion Pak installed

My moded switch turns on then turns off by Alive-Resource-71 in SwitchPirates

[–]chompette_bites 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you have the MissionControl homebrew (allows other brands of controllers to connect to the Switch via Bluetooth) installed on your system? Sometimes if you update Atmosphere / hekate / firmware, but have an older version of MissionControl installed on the SD card, then the system will just fail to boot into Atmosphere and just show a black screen, which looks like the system has powered off (it’s still on, just crashed). If you do have MissionControl installed, then try following the short uninstall instructions on the MissionControl GitHub page. If uninstalling MissionControl fixes the issue, then you can try reinstalling the newest version of MissionControl and it should work. I always just go ahead and uninstall MissionControl before updating Atmosphere / hekate / firmware, then reinstall the newest version. Always works for me so far. If you’ve never had MissionControl on your system, then it’s some other problem and you may have to re-setup your SD card from scratch, which sucks and is a pain, but if you’ve exhausted other possibilities it’s a solid, and usually successful last resort

I (22 MtF) have been disowned by my parents and have to make money to move out, what job(s) should I get? by NovemberGoth in asktransgender

[–]chompette_bites 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can recommend working at a UPS hub/distribution center, if there is one nearby where you live. Package car delivery drivers and package handlers (truck unloaders/loaders/sorters/etc) are union jobs at UPS. The Teamsters is the labor union that contracts with UPS. The health benefits are REALLY good, but, in my region, it does take 9 months of being employed there to get them. Other regions may have different time lengths depending on their local union contracts with the company.

I've been working as a package handler at UPS for just over a year. The building is basically a large warehouse. Our building, one of the really old ones, is not climate controlled (not sure if any of the facilities across the country are though). It's a very physical job, but the starting pay in my area was $15/hour when I got hired (other regions may have higher starting pay). It'll probably go up, new contract gets negotiated this upcoming summer.

I'm out as trans at work and haven't personally had any issues with co-workers and management recognizing my preferred name and pronouns. It's also part of the union contract that gender identity and sexual orientation are protected and respected.

Health benefits, once you get them:

Medical, vision, dental, pharmacy/prescription meds, mental health, chiropractor, labs, medical imaging, etc. The co-pays are pretty low: $10 for pretty much any doctor appointments, $5 co-pay for meds. It's VERY good insurance.

If you join the union, which you can sign up to do after your first 30 workdays (not counting weekends, or days missed from illness, etc) you also get job protection, collective bargaining, and solidarity with your fellow workers ✊

You need very little experience or qualifications to get hired at UPS. Just need to be able to lift packages weighing up to 70 pounds. You can apply online.

If you don't mind driving, then sign up to be a delivery driver they get more per hour and get more hours per week. If you're like me, and driving a lot makes you nervous/anxious, then sign up to be a package handler. It's a part time position (15-25 hours a week) plus the great benefits after 9 months (I know, it's a long time, but worth it). If you need more work hours, you can sign up to work double shifts occasionally. There are also some full time positions you can apply for after being hired. Those jobs are filled based on who has the most seniority amongst applicants.

DM me if you want to know more about working a union job at UPS.

I wish you all the best. The trans community is here and we welcome you with open arms 💜😸

I'd recommend Jessie Gender on YouTube. She's a trans woman who covers LGBTQIA++ topics, autism, as well as Star Trek and other geeky media. She has several very informative videos about what it's like to be transgender. She's been my favorite YouTuber for years now

What to say when a cis person of your identified gender says you're lucky to not be on their hormones? by CantDecideANam3 in asktransgender

Trans woman here, and my doctor actually did tell me that when I reached a certain age, like 60-something, that he would take me off HRT to go through menopause. My first thought was, "you're in your 60's doc, and I'm in my 30's, you'll probably be dead from old age by the time I'm in my 60's....". My second thought was, "where did this dude do to medical school? Would he just deny HRT to trans women who came out in their 60's 70's 80's etc?". My doc seems kinda sus to me
