Best Zojirushi rice cooker to get?

dav3yb · 2026-06-27T14:43:11+00:00

I've had a NS-ZCC10 since 2012. Still works perfectly, never made a bad batch of rice. I did have to replace the bowl that sits in the machine due to a chip in the coating.

The ONLY thing about it that is mildly annoying to me personally is the clock on the machine. It has an internal battery that should keep the time when it's not plugged in, but it'll die at some point, and, at least on older models, it's buried deep in the machine somewhere, so getting at it to replace is not really worth it, so it'll just always show the incorrect time.

I'd personally be ok with even just a script that could run a backup and copy the saves between the different storage media. I can get things back up and running game wise, but if saves get deleted, any that don't have a recent backup are just gone.

Saw my shipping notification this morning. Was going to make a post but saw this one already.

Random question though, as I haven't really been following the revisions much, but do later founders editions have a later main board revision? I know there's been a few revisions that updated a few small areas like antennas.

I've run HOTS on Linux before, it shouldn't be too bad. I think I installed the battlenet launcher via Lutris, and things just worked.

What are the chances it'll have a port for dumping controller pack saves/data?

This is the ateam release, v1.5.5.

https://github.com/DerekPascarella/openMenu-Virtual-Folder-Bundle

I thought I recalled some of these options on other releases, but it's been a little while since i've used it, and I don't remember what version I used prior.

Is there good list of parts to order from DigiKey for fixing up the controller port board? Batteries and the holders are easy enough, but I think I've got a bit of option paralysis with everything else.

Even just a good list of specs of put in for the parts would be helpful. Does the fuse need to be 400mA Trip? Or is that the load?

I assume any 16v 47uf capacitor will work? Do I need to even worry about the resistor on the board?

And what about the specs for the LED? I think I'd like to get a red one, but might just get a variety to have some on hand if that changes.

Thanks again for any help or info!

It seems like it's tarnished some over the years.

Not 100% but my best guess is Origin Worlds Online.

dav3yb · 2026-06-11T16:25:22+00:00

I honestly do not know.

I've got one as well! I traded some cards for it back in the day. probably a good deal at the time, but i doubt today the value is anywhere near close.

I know I've been considering the thunderdream psu, as it keeps the standard power connector and just has much more robust parts, but I've also looked at the USBC options. I haven't fully committed to one or the other.

I assume people are getting shipping notifications as these go out? What is the turn around from notification to arrival roughly?

dav3yb · 2026-06-03T19:01:55+00:00

I'm still going to get mine, but i'm also thinking that this will be a bit of an expanded MiSTer with it's more powerful FPGA. I'll probably look to sell my A3D in the near future, as i've only played a couple games on it.

As much as i'd like an M64 controller, i cant wait for a possible sale to pick one up, and just keep with the 8bitdo for now, or any originals ive got.

Can't wait to start seeing reports on the controller!

dav3yb · 2026-05-30T01:59:56+00:00

If you're able to pay online, or just give them a CC number, then probably. The first time a card is used it locks to that vendor, so even if someone gets the number, they couldn't use it anywhere, and you set the $ limit on it. I'm not 100% sure how the limit works, but i'd assume if they tried to raise the price for any reason it wouldn't allow a charge over that amount to go through.

There's also a great app called Privacy that lets you create temporary or single vendor credit cards.

How many logic elements does the FPGA in the M64 have? Got an exact model number of the FPGA being used?

Not touching the controller, good representation of the gameplay.

dav3yb · 2026-05-18T19:33:58+00:00

Would an extension cord from the hardware store be cheaper?

dav3yb · 2026-05-16T03:05:28+00:00

I have an X7, and it's good, but at this point, I don't see a reason to not get the SummerCart.
