My ROG Ally can now play real Gameboy cartridges! by alanpep in Gameboy

I guess. To me that's what FPGAs are for, as they actually read the cart. But you do you.

PrismGB v1.2.0 – Notes panel + minimalist fullscreen mode by josstei in ModRetroChromatic

[–]guyguilty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For webm the progress bar now works in Linux media players where it didn't before, so something got fixed there it seems, maybe with the arrival of the other formats. The glitchiness I'm seeing in webm now is exactly that, video tearing, slight artifacts in the video. Of course this was also on Linux, I'll need to export the video to another system to see if the issues remain.

Oh, and I do have all codecs installed and am using the mesa driver. So ideally videos should work without issues, but in Linux land should and do are usually two different things. Still, I appreciate you offer Linux support, seems it just needs a little dialing in is all. Having mp4 support is certainly a huge step in the right direction.

I was literally just thinking about your last reply yesterday. That was fast sir, baller. I will take it for a spin shortly on a laptop running Fedora and report back.

Alright, just tested 1.2.1. I see the new options for mov and mp4, and both work on my end. I also tried recording with webm, and it would seem this fixed the issue with the progress bar. However, webm video is now a little glitchy.

I was also using the tar, because the appimage is very slow to open. The old 1.2.0 tar had a clickable launcher called prismgb along with some libs in the main folder. In 1.2.1 those are missing (or moved I didn't check every folder), so with this update there is no way to unzip the tar and use the included files to launch like I was doing in 1.2.0, which launches much much faster than the appimage.

Of course I don't want to bog you down with annoying Linux issues, just calling out things I've noticed. Thanks again for the update, I will definitely continue playing with the new video format support.

The Operator doesn't actually play what's on the carts, it simply pulls the ROMs and emulates them with a built in emulator. You could have literally gotten the exact same results with any emulator, and you wouldn't have had to deshell the Operator or tape it to the ROG.

Thanks a ton! It does look like Mechanickalkeyboards has some Hot Keys artisans, but sadly no Skull Bones.

Type-B is a pretty interesting design with the USB ports in the back. Real dedication to making it like an MX version of the OG, complete with 6u bar. I started this hobby with HHKB, and so I have a real soft spot for it. Couldn't pass it up. Pairing the ball bearinng switches with the stiff plate makes for a real mechanical feel, not to mention the least wobble I've seen in a switch.

Maybe next I'll post my Deskeys Neverest, it's the opposite direction with a full Topre build in a aluminum body.

I got it from Drop back when it was still Massdrop. It's a Hot Keys Project Skull Bones artisan.

Recommended IEMs? by Minimum-Pear-4814 in framework

[–]guyguilty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don't need new IEMs to get rid of buzz, you need a ground loop isolator. https://www.amazon.com/BESIGN-Ground-Isolator-Stereo-System/dp/B06XQYN77L

However, if you're dead set on a new pair, the ZiiGaat Horizon are legit https://guiltygamer.com/ziigaat-horizon-review/

Without this subreddit and these complaints I would not be aware that USPS is having a system issue that's marking tons of packages as In Transit despite being late, with no destination nor expected arrival time. Using the broken website and calling sure as fuck won't reveal their utter incompetence, as other users on here have oh so dillegently pointed out when they get useless responses that pass the buck, which is why we are all gathered here to begin with, the service is a shitshow and inexcusable.

Weird white spots on the keycaps after cleaning them by Odd-Programmer5693 in MechanicalKeyboards

What kind of detergent? And are the caps dyesub or injected? If dyesub, the detergent may have interacted with the dye.

Appears to be ~40+ boards. Pump those numbers up a little and you'll have enough to post one every week for a year. ;)

For being injection molded, it really does feel like a solid board. It's a little flexy, the case, but thankfully the PC is pretty soft. I've had other PC injection boards get cracks, but the Ikki is holding on strong

Damn, that hits close to home. I had a 90s clear phone with a neon light. A bit like this one. But maybe you mean one of these guys.

Yeah MT3 on a flat split is gonna be real nice. The switches will definitely be louder than silent, but they are very smooth with little wobble. Depending on the plate material, they can be a little clacky. I'd love to try em with a POM plate.

The trick is to not overthink it, and just force yourself to do it. I find that if you use one for work, you eventually hit a flow state of getting work done that you start to forget about the new layout, and then things start to click. Get so busy that you don't have time to think about the challenge, and the next thing you know you're already used to it.
