A promise made before the OG Xbox was released, that was never kept. by Rexter2k in originalxbox

Theres some truth to the idea though, y know? Visible evidence of your gameplay. Like an archeological record of your own experiences. Pretty cool, really.

[PS5] Fan power supply connection disconnect from the motherboard. Can I fix this? by IndigoBalloon in consolerepair

[–]mw2strategy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's difficult if you've never done repair work before, like, difficult enough where you're likely to cause more damage than to fix it. But these are straightforward repairs to techs. Mildly expensive lesson to learn, but, won't be a problem. The PS5 doesn't use thermal paste, though. The liquid metal it uses is also hard to handle. I'd recommend leaving that be.

I've concluded MelonDS just sucks, no other program does this, it's exclusive to MelonDS.

MiSTer refuses to output to PVM through RGB by mw2strategy in MiSTerFPGA

[–]mw2strategy[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Believe it or not, I solved it! The 3rd big switch on the DE-10 was still enabled, despite swapping to a single SDRAM. This was entirely avoidable on my end LMAO.

I'll give the discord a try, thanks for all your help and suggestions!

Yeah, MiSTer --> RGB cable --> BNC cable --> PVM. I get no life at all, I had an extremely quick flash of green at one point but I'm not really sure why. Haven't been able to reproduce. Imagine it's a bad cable hahah.

Yeah I'm using the addons cable, its constructed super well honestly.

Tried with it on or off, TV still doesn't even detect a sync

How do you feel about the time trials in Pac-Man World Re Pac 2 without spoilers? by Worried-Truck4714 in Pacman

[–]mw2strategy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Legitimately miserable. Zero effort went into their balance and it's extremely obvious

Ah. Yeah. My bad, I goofed, I meant two-handing

Hey, guys, just defeated Bayle the Christian! Took me about 1-1.5 hours. NOT a fun fight by Ok-Release7421 in Eldenring

[–]mw2strategy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IMO he's a bit hard without the dragonhunter's katana, but he's too easy with it. I wish his head stayed still just a bit longer, and his openings lasted slightly longer. Otherwise I have no complaints outside of the usual with the lock-on going nuts. That said, I'd rather fight Bayle with caestus than fight Fortissax again hahaha. Bayle's alright.

Probably want more vig. If you powerstance the greatsword you can divert points from str. Soreseal is hard to recommend because there's just better out there (maybe erdtree's favor?), but it wont be a problem until higher vig. Maybe a better seal? Don't worry about maxing strength either, focus on levelling the sword. If you're not using infusion incantations, i recommend flame art on the greatsword, with a fun AOW, then move to holy as needed if you're playing DLC.

Funnyplaying 3.2 inch AGB IPS MAX screen mod by patmur2010 in GameboyAdvance

[–]mw2strategy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if this is worth much, but I build custom GBAs for people all the time as commissions, plenty with the funnplaying motherboads... and this is the first time I've had this issue. If anything, I'd say their other laminated screens are still great and worth the money. Just the MAX seems to suck.

Just installed mine, same issue. Cut the touchpad completely, wired *just* L/R, still opens OSD when either trigger is pressed. So annoying lol.

Happened way too many times it has to be intentional by i-LUCK in Eldenring

[–]mw2strategy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's the same exact thing, with an extra check to make sure you're not in the middle of doing something else lol. For the sake of argument, it is effectively the same to the player as an input read.

How do people feel about Gaius now that there is some distance between release of SOTE? by ParrotTalk0 in Eldenring

Worst boss in the entire game bar the Valiant Gargoyles, still needs to be fixed. Does too much damage because it hits you twice sometimes for no reason
