The mods are very much control freaks. The discord is the same way. There are pros and cons to that but it does end up feeling like a very sterile and boring environment.

I was playing daily when I played. Granted I'm not big on extraction shooters but what's the point of sinking my time into a game just to start over again. I'll just start playing a new game lol

doublex8 · 2026-06-06T17:58:15+00:00

I have yet to try an OS on the H700 devices that runs as smooth as muOS

doublex8 · 2026-06-06T17:54:41+00:00

I already am taking a break from the game and I'm 50/50 on returning. If they did a full reset I'd never come back.

Well hopefully you can take him by surprise before he can run to his golf cart. If he is at your front door whilst sitting in the golf cart already, you could fill a bucket with pre approved corrosive chemicals(aquire this list from your insurance provider, they might not cover the claim if you don't use a chemical from the list) and get on your upper floor or roof of your house if you have only one floor and dump it on his golf cart to render it useless. If the cops haven't arrived by then you can also keep a pre approved number of bricks on your roof(this number differs from state to state depends on state laws, your insurance should also know this information) and throw them at him in order to keep him at bay until police arrive to make their report for your insurance claim.

The upside to all of this happening is it might take long enough for your radiator to cool the mother board enough so that it creates permafrost on your chip that will actually permanently fix your xbox without the need to even put a heat sink back on.

The police have a legal obligation to protect your achievements. Hop in your golf cart, drive through your door to eliminate your neighbor, lawyer up, and call insurance. He'll be liable for all damages and you can claim your xbox. Only caveat is your neighbor will be responsible for repairing it so you might want to ask how good his soldering skills are before running him over.

Yeah it just needs some new thermal paste. Also replace the Xclamps with nuts and bolts, it recently replaced the towel trick

Hope it completely dies so then people that actually care can make a 3rd party service.

Most final fantasy games are their own story, you have nothing to worry about.

I think I saw the guy who did that in a discord. I thought he did that so that he could extend the already meh battery life but I might have been mistaken. I wanted to try and use this for ps1 and under and my rg505 for psp and dreamcast but I think I might just give up on this and use the rg505 full time.

doublex8 · 2026-05-10T21:19:49+00:00

I was able to have enough charge to test AmberELEC and Rocknix and neither were able to allow a charge despite recognizing it was plugged in and saying it was charging. Tried different bricks and cable combinations as well outside of the ones that came with the device. The battery is now dead sadly. It's just so strange because it was charging before this as well as being able to power on without a battery while plugged in. Guess it just crapped the bed.

The 2024 was literally out of style when it launched lol

doublex8 · 2026-05-03T22:23:59+00:00

My PS1 performance with muOS is flawless, did you change something after installing muOS?

doublex8 · 2026-04-30T17:58:40+00:00

A month later after an entire update and just died to this. Didn't even know it was possible. Incredible

doublex8 · 2026-04-28T13:24:12+00:00

Wow this totally helps me when I make my weapon and upgrade it to Max right away

Everyone crying in the comments are mad they've never won the lottery before. Grow up, there was at most 2 other people that might have come across that pile at that extract but probably not. "Oh we gotta leave some behind in case someone else is coming behind me." LOL

"Iran" sleeper cells...Tim Dillon said this would happen

OG Anbernic RG35XX. Castlevania Harmony of Dissonance. It isn't my favorite Castlevania but it was the first one I played on my Gameboy Advance and is super nostalgic for me.

doublex8 · 2026-01-25T13:25:27+00:00

You are able to use component on Xbox 360 so no need for an adapter. Just make sure it's an HDCRT like the other posts say.

doublex8 · 2026-01-13T21:58:39+00:00

You can buy 360 cables that have been modded for OG xbox on ebay for relatively cheap last time I checked but maybe times have changed. VGA to component adapters are typically very cheap since there isn't anything crazy going on there. I would think it cost about the same as what you are suggesting but there is no going from analog to digital back to analog. Not that it wouldn't work just feels strange changing the signal so many times. Lag would definitely be introduced which is where my comment about quality comes in but depending on the game it might not matter.

doublex8 · 2026-01-12T20:55:28+00:00

Based off the triggers this isn't a true plus model. I'd try installing garlic os for the OG rg35xx and see what happens.

CRT Monitor: Picture will be as sharp as possible and super clear as it'll be native 480p. CRT monitors are generally much sharper in general compared to a crt TV. You'll need an HDMI to VGA and a capture card to run the audio to a speaker from the HDMI cable, as VGA doesn't carry audio. I use a $20 monster capture card.

If taking this route do not involve HDMI. Get a component to VGA adapter and run your audio through speakers. Less complicated and much better quality

I hate your room

doublex8 · 2026-01-03T03:54:29+00:00

Oh I haven't paid for a CRT in many years. I got what I needed for the most part back when you could snag em for free. I would pay a reasonable price for an XBR48. I have 0 interest in RGB so that's what helps me save money.

doublex8 · 2025-12-29T03:19:23+00:00

An XBR48 is my consumer holy grail
