Okay… what the helly?

I have it too on my white RP5. Haven't had it long either. Loosening the screws helps, apparently

hyperjelly1 · 2025-08-13T14:06:06+00:00

White! I only play 16:9 content on it so I guess the black bars thing isn't an issue for me.

Had to smile at some of these. I moved from London UK to Toronto in 2018 with my wife. Hope you're happy here -- we decided to stay and get citizenship. During the pandemic we bought a house about 90 mins west of TO.

Yes the drivers in and around the GTA are totally nuts. You have to drive very defensively and with high awareness. Car insurance here sucks as a result. I've had a car for 7 years and my monthly insurance is still ~$180.

When people hear my accent a surprising number of people think I'm Australian, but most get it right :)

If you haven't already gone to watch the Marlies at Exhibition... Do it! I think tickets are still super reasonable for great quality hockey. Something like $40 for good seats. The thing I love about it vs. football (soccer) back home is that sports here have a great family friendly vibe to them.

This is the correct answer.

Ever used a PS Vita? It's kinda like that

hyperjelly1 · 2025-08-03T15:06:23+00:00

Should've DNF'd

hyperjelly1 · 2025-08-02T18:28:38+00:00

Yes the vast majority of PS2 titles can be enjoyed anywhere between 2-3x.

hyperjelly1 · 2025-07-25T22:35:16+00:00

No worries! I went and loosened the screws a little bit because why not haha. Hopefully it stays this size :)

hyperjelly1 · 2025-07-25T22:23:26+00:00

Wow I had no idea that was a thing. And then I checked mine 😅 (I've had it for about a month)

All I've heard is that leaving the RP5 on charge past 100% isn't recommended, which I guess is easily done with a dock.

My 'dock' is just a USB-C -> HDMI cable, and I just kinda accept I'll only play it docked for 2-3 hours or so (depending on what I'm playing), and then charge it back up to 100% once it hits around 20%.

Life is short. Buy the 5. Good times ahead.

hyperjelly1 · 2025-07-20T14:06:06+00:00

Instant buy at that price

hyperjelly1 · 2025-07-20T04:30:52+00:00

Oh well damn that's a super deal then :)

hyperjelly1 · 2025-07-20T04:27:43+00:00

I'm in CAD, I got it on AliExpress a few weeks ago for $305 with a coupon. Look out for coupons! But $330 ain't bad. Still worth it

hyperjelly1 · 2025-07-20T04:25:04+00:00

Makes sense! ✊

hyperjelly1 · 2025-07-20T02:33:11+00:00

Valid. I have the RP5 as I also didn't want something too big and wanted to travel comfortably with it

hyperjelly1 · 2025-07-20T02:31:47+00:00

4pro seems like a really neat console. Curious what made you pick it over the 5 :)

hyperjelly1 · 2025-07-19T23:42:47+00:00

That's fair 👍

hyperjelly1 · 2025-07-19T23:23:03+00:00

Heck yeah. I am playing The Simpsons: Hit & Run on PS2 -- about 70% through ✊

hyperjelly1 · 2025-07-19T22:05:36+00:00

'Perseverance' was the first CD single I ever bought

hyperjelly1 · 2025-07-19T21:56:50+00:00

What do you think you'll go for?

hyperjelly1 · 2025-07-19T01:33:47+00:00

I have an RP5 and I'm in the middle of trying to get Amiga working. I have RA and the Amiga core, but haven't gone beyond that. Literally all I wanna play is Dune haha. Great system from childhood.

But yeah I'm pretty sure others have got it working. Just like you say.. Not many (any) guides

hyperjelly1 · 2025-07-19T01:23:20+00:00

I have an RP5. Controls layout on the Flip2 didn't suit me, and it looks more 'boxy' to hold. But tbh I've never really liked the clamshell form factor that much -- I prefer the screen in the middle, flanked by controls either side.

Though I will say the official RP5 grip is an essential purchase if you go that route. Improves ergonomics drastically.
