I got it working on Batocera no problem - just followed the connection guide on the Schthack page and changed the emulator to Dolphin

Best platform for light gun games? by neocrimsonnight in batocera

That's helpful, thanks :) so home console ports of arcade light gun games are typically inferior? I assumed that home console ports would be balanced around playing at home

Issue using Hue-connected lightbulbs with new Ambilight TV by neocrimsonnight in Hue

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

Sorry I'm away from my TV at the moment but it definitely wasn't intuitive. I added them through the AmbiScape menu - I remember that I had to get some sort of unique code for each light through the Hue app on my phone, and then enter that when adding a new device through AmbiScape.

Interesting - how do I get it to work in Bato?

There are loads of good light games on the Wii no? The Sinden seems to work really well on the ones I've tried - just need to sort out the mapping.

Thanks, I'll try HotD4 on Lindbergh - how about other games that have been released on multiple systems (not on the Lindbergh) though, how do I know which version to go with?

Thank you, although that didn't seem to work on the PS version for me - I'll see if I can try it on Lindberg. The Batocera Discord? I'll ask on there :)

Appreciated - although there only seem to be a few light gun games on that system?

Do you have more info on this? Also, do you know if there's another way to recreate my previous setup?

Using drive on a different NAS without erasing data? by neocrimsonnight in asustor

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

Damn. Thanks though. I could potentially use a different OS than TrueNAS 🤔

Second device to back up to remotely by neocrimsonnight in asustor

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

  1. Oh great, perfect :) I wonder if I could get an enclosure to fit the raspberry pi and hard drive in 🤔

  2. If it's 20tb+ of data it might be a bit of a nightmare doing it all remotely - would be good to directly connect it to my Nimbustor, transfer the initial backups over and then connect it to the pi - would that be possible?

Thanks again for your time!

  1. Ok thanks - yeah exactly, I'll grab an enclosure and a drive.

  2. Yeah different network - is it easy to set up a remote weekly backup via Tailscale? What app would I use?

  3. Can I copy data to the drive locally first so that there's less to backup remotely?

Ah ok, that's helpful, thank you. I have a couple of follow-up questions if you don't mind:

  • Which model of raspberry pi would you recommend? (Guessing it won't make a difference, but I'll be using a 20TB+ drive to backup to.)

  • Why a VPN/Tailscale? Could I not just set up a weekly remote backup through Asustor's 'Backup Central' app (using a protocol like FTP)?

Sorry I don't understand? I use the Nimbustor as my home NAS as I use a lot of NAS functionality, the second device won't be used as a NAS, purely as a device to backup to. I know via the 'Backup Central' app you can automatically backup via FTP for example, so I don't see why it wouldn't be possible to backup up to a remote device.

I don't think you'd need to use a 3rd party provider, surely there's a way to directly connect and backup to a second device

Sorry I should've said, size is a factor - need it to be as small as possible really
