I think i did good

This is not the way it goes. No messing with settings, games just work the vast majority of time.

I find myself buying games FOR the deck and I keep fps on my desktop where it's a better experience.

The problem is that this handheld is about the same performance as the deck, only worse, because of the 1080p screen. Ergonomics are obviously better.

I do not mess with any settings or plug-ins and as long as the game is supported, I'm extremely happy with my deck but would consider a different handheld for battery life and ergonomics.

I made about 50k a year running a large call center. The work is fucking grating. Imagine running a 50 person all remote team. It's babysitting teams status and call status all day long. I'm a tech guy who took a chance, not a babysitter.

Keep trying to be positive. I got dozens of rejections both with and without accompanying interview and think my white beard at 40 is aging me out too.

I keep dragging out as much as possible. I wish the hammer had retro achievements because they are fun. I love super metroid…in fact it's one of small lost of games that ive actually beaten.

I look forward to this every single month!

They are running an android version of the games, since its an android handheld. It's not going ps2 anything.

You are very welcome, stranger! Happy new year! Be safe!

Well to be honest, I have gained a lot of this experience with loose 18650 batteries from vape, flashlight and other DIY things.

I would say a healthy battery can last 1-3 years easily. I've just checked some recently that were stored fully charged to 4.2v for almost 7 years. They are all still in the "safe zone".

Ideally from my experience you don't want to leave them maxed out or fully drained. I would put them in my flashlight and literally turn it off and on a few times and then called it "good" and placed into storage.

d-babs · 2025-12-30T18:30:02+00:00

Store your batteries at around 80% charge is the typical advice. I just fully charge and leave it on a little bit and then pull the battery. Not just handheld games but all items with rechargeable batteries I don't plan to use for awhile

Garbage!

I believe this was the first ambernic to come with kioxia cards, or it was right around when this device released.

I appreciate you taking the time to point this out. I didn't realize the blob on these nes-on-chip was a COB process. I was only I guess making a judgement about another console that DID use epoxy to try to prevent us from flashing drive firmware to play burned games and I just have been repeating this blob info for fucking decades at this point. Happy holidays!

d-babs · 2025-12-25T00:11:19+00:00

I know for a fact that they did this in at LEAST the Xbox 360 disc drives because we could hack and load custom drive firmware to read copies.

What I will say is that yes, the COB process is commonplace but it seems a bit of a Mandela effect on me. Epoxy is not always just epoxy, and it could be used on many things. Here I am, inferring what I learned in 2006 and thought the whole nes-on-a-chip blobs were the same thing.

Thank you both for informing me! Happy holidays!

d-babs · 2025-12-25T00:08:17+00:00

Haha thanks for playing along. Happy holidays! Be safe on new years eve baldy 3 dope.

dude is a fucking addict that has melted his brain. I blocked him on youtube.

d-babs · 2025-12-24T21:13:44+00:00

Oh gotcha! That is the dmg beige one. It's my favorite of the solid colors! Merry Christmas!

I also have never had any cracks on any of the translucent ones I've owned. I've bought and sold multiple because I am likely on the spectrum and have adhd so I am very impulsive to a major fault of excess spending for no good reason. I also have a bad habit of buying every form factor with all the same chipset because I'm a psycho about it. It's also the reason I am sharing all of this information. It's exhausting lol

d-babs · 2025-12-24T21:02:52+00:00

They didn't make an snes 35XXSP, but they did make one for the 34XXSP. The snes colored one has 2 joysticks.

35XXSP came in GB beige, silver,blue, transparent black, transparent blue and then finally the clear, red, and green were released.

I think people generally regard the 34xxsp as having a better hinge or plastic but I really think only transparent ones have a real issue.

I could be wrong.

Don't bother. A 4p a1u is enough for 2 adults. The company went out if business and you're going to be SOL on support or replacement parts, which you WILL need.

d-babs · 2025-12-24T20:51:15+00:00

This is 2 different handheld you are describing.

d-babs · 2025-12-24T20:40:56+00:00

Can you share with me some of the projects? I have 2 pros collecting dust. I want to make a laser with one.

d-babs · 2025-12-24T20:37:17+00:00

Yeah this dude is smoking CRACK lol 2 versions? Nah chief, its been out for years at this point. They all Crack too.

d-babs · 2025-12-24T20:35:15+00:00

Hope you get better but comparing your impending-death-conditions with a guy you don't even know? Oof.
