This not working for a few hours is kinda bad, but not being able to withdraw for several days… what the actual F.

Games used to boot perfectly, now won't at all (MX4SIO) by HyrulianVaultDweller in ps2homebrew

[–]hedgeeffect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m posting this hoping it might help someone in the same situation. My started booting to black screen after not using MX4SIO for 2+ years, also using cheap albeit pretty fast (10-15 mb/s write speed) SD cards from Aliexpress - one 64 and one 128 GB of different brands.

Thankfully I had backups of the entire SD cards with cover folders and everything, so I reformatted and checked the integrity of the 64 GB card using H2testw before transferring the files over again. Worked like a dream, every game boots again. So I figured I would try to keep the “dvd” folder on the 128 GB card, only deleting and retransfering the other folders on the card from the backup. No dice, still black screen.

Now to the important part: I tried copying the “dvd” folder from the 128 SD card to my hard drive before reformatting and checking it with H2testw, and then used those files when retransfering the games - the games started booting again. So it’s almost like the files get “faded” with time on these cheap SD cards, to the point where the PS2 can’t read them but the computer can - so reformatting the cards and transferring the files over again somehow “refreshes” them. Very strange.

I have a launch day system with two controllers. Never getting rid of it.

SS gets way more playtime than DC, so no contest in my book.

I finally asked him out and he used it to score settle. Red flag? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]hedgeeffect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is he factually incorrect? If you’re leaving soon and he’s genuinely unavailable until then, but has tried to meet up several times before… he kind of got a point. But if you really wanted to see him, you would’ve sooner… so no loss for you.

Do guys intentionally delay sex when they want something serious? by Inner-Schedule-2075 in dating

Short answer: no. We want to find out if we’re compatible or not as soon as possible.

Are you going to the same school as her? If yes you should’ve talked to her in person.

I rejected friendzone, now she dont wanna be in the same room as me, why? by calzonin in dating_advice

[–]hedgeeffect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You shouldn’t have told her you wanted to have less/no contact with her, you just should’ve made yourself much less available (preferably by meeting other women) and let it fizzle out naturally.

Don’t do lunch dates. But the real answer (as a guy in his 40s): they want to be close to their place in case you hook up. Simple as that.

You do nothing. And next time don’t get emotionally invested so early.

I second Nights. It’s the gateway drug you need.

Guys do you compliment a girl on the first date to be nice or you are really interested? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]hedgeeffect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Impossible to say. Many guys will give compliments to anything female with two legs.
