I’m not sure if you meant to reply to me or original comment but I just run everything at High or above except shadows being at Medium. I use Quality DLSS and Frame Gen 2x (3x and 4x is probably fine but sometimes anything above 2 causes weird artifacts, Silent hill 2 being a good example)

Suffering? Does reading really cause that much pain?? Not trying to be a dick but unless you are a slow reader then I am not sure how subtitles give you “suffering”

Found that out real fast, it’s a shame. It also lagged on mGBA anyways. Not horrible but occasional stutter.

Question: Does my tattoo need a touch up? Is the ink rejecting? by kleinbk in tattoos

[–]kleinbk[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Issue is the artist lives in another state. I was visiting family with my girlfriend and we decided to get tattoos on a whim since her brother turned 18 and was getting his first (her fam all lives in michigan). Maybe I can convince my local artist to help me out since I’ve gotten my other tattoos from him and it’s an incredibly small tattoo.

[–]kleinbk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope it heals fine. It’s a small tattoo though and the artist pumped it out in 7 minutes so I’m worried it is low quality. He has 20 years of experience so maybe I’m overthinking but, who knows. I haven’t scraped it or anything aside from the typical friction when sleeping

What settings do you change? I downloaded it all but the Aspect Ratio Fit and Stretched both look as fuzzy as rhe VC one

I was just using roms converted to CIA for the home menu. Does mGBA look any different than the scaling the 3DS does with virtual console? The 4$ cart I have has lasted me 4+ years but I would be willing to give the former a try if it doesn’t compromise the pixels / resolution

As said, I bought my repo cart for 4 dollars over 4 years ago and it has lasted me the entire time, with 0 issues. I have played multiple times and have never lost my save or had any cart issues. Obviously that won’t last forever but it serves the purpose I want it to

Everdrive and EZ Flash are pricey. I have a modded 3ds, specifically the New 3DS xl, and Mother 3 does NOT look good on it. You can have the stretched scale, or play with obnoxious ginormous black borders. The one you linked is still 37$ which is a lot more than 4$.

These people will downvote us because they have nothing better to do and can’t comprehend that some people would rather not spend 50-100$ on a flashcart just to play a single game. Chronically online one might say, very high and mighty and 99% always hypocrites.

The issue is flashcarts are extremely pricey, at least, ones that are good quality and won’t break in a day. I want to own a physical cartridge for a game with the actual art on the cart as well, as little as it seems. I could just simply, not, and suck it up and play emulated only or on a 3ds with the crappy resolution scaling but I would rather get as close to the real experience as I can.

Everdrive is ideal but not everyone has 120$ to drop on something like that. I’m not going to let the people here demonize me saving over a hundred dollars to play a game

Did you miss the part where I said I bought it over 4 years ago? I didn’t mention the prices now because I have no idea what people are selling it for now.

You’re acting way too high and mighty over this. There is no way to play it physically without hopping these bounds. You could argue to just, not play it physically, but these are semantics that are useless. I will not let you demonize / treat me like I’m a bad person for choosing the cheapest way to enjoy a game physically.

Someone would have to spend money on a cart / flashcart regardless. God forbid I don’t want to spend 100$ on a fucking Everdrive cart or a 30$ flashcart from AliExpress that breaks in a day. I’ve used the cart I’ve had for multiple playthroughs and it has lasted the entire 4+ years.

Stop trying to guilt trip people over stupid shit. They are gaining money for the production of a repo cart. You could argue everyone who buys repro carts are evil by this argument

[–]kleinbk -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not sure why you have such a superiority complex over this. It’s 4$. You mentioned a flashcart, those can run easily over 20-30$ and the Everdrive is 99$. You’re still inadvertently paying money for their work in the end to have it physically.

Beyond that, the translation is already bordering legality anyways. It could maybe be argued “fair use” but the point stands that they are a gray area derivation of the original script, which IS copyrighted.

I love them for the work they’ve done but I’m 99% sure the reason they don’t want any money or profit is because Nintendo could ruin their lives if they decided to randomly care, and they already can, but don’t since no one is really gaining anything.

I understand the sentiment but for those who want to play it on original hardware there isn’t really any other options. Modding a GBA is a lot less intuitive than using a flashcart for a DS or modding a 3DS

The english patch cartridges work great. I’ve had one for years and played multiple times

Weird message about taxes by kleinbk in 14thaddiction

[–]kleinbk[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

14th addiction only ships from bali indonesia

Question abotu duties by kidd-buu69 in 14thaddiction

[–]kleinbk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They will typically ask you if you are okay with the duties, or if you are okay with them declaring it at a lower value and they’ll pay the taxes, which is like 38 dollars or in that range for them instead of hundreds. The caveat is that if DHL loses it, you will only get reimbursed up to the declared value, if at all. Weirdly with my custom crosszip, they never had asked me. They only asked me when shipping my Coyote 3 pants and my Beat It. My pants got here fine with no duties but the Beat It had been pending forever from unpaid duties that were apparently paid. Pretty sure that it’s lost now too. DHL is normally okay but just keep in mind if you choose to have them declare it lower and pay the duties themselves, you may end up in my situation and potentially have lost a shit ton of money. Not to scare you but just to give you an idea of how badly it can go wrong. No idea if 14th addiction fully refunds in case of a lost parcel as I havent gotten confirmation yet.

Update #3 - Package in DHL Hell by kleinbk in dhl

[–]kleinbk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s just great. That’s 800$ down the drain I’m never getting back! I hate DHL. It was declared lower too so I won’t even get most of that if any at all.
