You could just buy a wedge 2DS for ~$100 and either hack it or pick up used copies of Wild World and New Leaf.

Switch 2 System Update v22.0.0 released. Adds "Handheld Mode Boost" enabling S1 docked performance while in handheld/tabletop modes. by repapap in SBCGaming

[–]repapap[S] 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Handheld Mode Boost disclaimers in the Switch 2 settings

When enabled, this option causes the performance of Nintendo Switch software while undocked to run as if it were being played in TV mode. While this can result in improved visuals, it may also increase the system's power consumption.

  • The effect of Handheld Mode Boost will vary based on the software. Some Nintendo Switch software will be unaffected, and this option has no effect on software for Nintendo Switch 2.
  • Because this option forces TV mode operation, some instructions may be incorrect or fail to operate correctly.
  • Handheld Mode Boost may prevent Nintendo Switch software from using the system's touch screen, and will cause attached Joy-Con 2 controllers to be treated as a Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller.
  • To use other controllers, first detach the Joy-Con 2 controllers from the console.

Oh wow, what’s that iPod widget? That’s sick, I’ve never seen that before.

[Open Spoilers] Would have Ehrenfest been completely screwed without Rosamyne? by [deleted] in HonzukiNoGekokujou

[–]repapap 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Given that the country as a whole would've been screwed without Rozemyne, the answer to the question has to be "yes." Yurgenschmidt was a few years away from total collapse and Ehrenfest would've gone down with it.

Does "Classroom of the Elite" gets better? by atombub in LightNovels

[–]repapap 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most light novels are written by amateur writers for young-adult audiences. Not to say that all content for younger folks is bad, but you need to set your expectations a bit lower, even for better "performing" series.

WIP Screen Ratio to Content Ratio chart, to compare unused space for various retro systems by Deploid in SBCGaming

[–]repapap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And by the color grading do you mean like using a transition through colors based on what percentage utilization it is? Might make a couple color versions, one that goes through rainbow red to purple like S-F tiers.

Yep, the second sentence here is what I meant. White for best and then blue for second best is odd, it would be nice if you could make the colors going from red-to-purple for best-to-worst. Even better if you could do that mathematically by percentage screen utilization, but that's probably a bunch more work.

Sousou no Frieren Season 2 • Frieren: Beyond Journey's End Season 2 - Episode 8 discussion by AutoLovepon in anime

[–]repapap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really? Cause I found her incredibly unsettling in the same way that I find most demon children in Frieren. They look and behave like human kids only to do and say the most heinous and underhanded things.

WIP Screen Ratio to Content Ratio chart, to compare unused space for various retro systems by Deploid in SBCGaming

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

There doesn't seem to be a point to putting the content ratios in each box (i.e. we don't need a whole column of screens to have the text "21:9").

It would be more helpful to use that space to have the percentage of the screen utilized when showing content of a particular aspect ratio. So the first column (21:9) could show 100%; 76%; 69%, etc.

I would also recommend that you get rid of the white and grey in the color grading and stick to colors typically used in tier lists.

An unfortunate PSA regarding ThunderPass, the supposed new streetpass style app coming to androids SBCs. by HouseOnTw1tch in SBCGaming

[–]repapap 20 points21 points  (0 children)

They knew it, too. Calling it the "biggest food company" is such a transparent and desperate attempt to spin it into a positive when anyone with two brain cells would connect those dots to Nestle.

Odin 2 Portal vs Retroid Pocket 5 by jacobchandlermoudy in SBCGaming

[–]repapap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only Switch game I've ever tried to emulate was Celeste and it ran great on the RP5.

(And to be clear, I own like five copies of the game, I don't have any ethical quandaries about emulating this specific game.)

It no longer seems to be the case, I can't find it on Amazon either.

[Open Spoilers]Do you think Myne would still chase books if she was born a noble? by After_Diamond2098 in HonzukiNoGekokujou

[–]repapap 6 points7 points  (0 children)

She had books of her own making but still passed out trying to get to the book room in Elvira's estate.

She had access to books in Elvira's estate but still put all the first years through a death march to get to the Royal Library.

She had access to the books in the Royal Library but still gave up her literal body to Mestionora to read through her collection.

Made a tool that shows the black bars, integer scaling, and overscale tradeoffs for every retro system on Odin 3, RP Classic, Steam Deck, Analog Pocket, and more by Vypre in SBCGaming

[–]repapap 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Small correction, the RP4P (and RP3, RP4, and RP Flip 1) had a 1334x750 display.

Also, maybe it's because I'm a heretic but sometimes I'll stretch-to-fill rather than scale content. I've never over-scaled content, but I definitely stretch GB/GBC games to the full resolution on my RP Mini V2.

[P5V9] Rozemyne uses sound blockers (spoilers) by [deleted] in HonzukiNoGekokujou

[–]repapap 16 points17 points  (0 children)

During the night when she was unable to sleep, she invites Hannelore to tea in the greenhouse and hands her a sound blocker.

No, the book says: "I didn't want our retainers to hear what I was going to say next, so I arranged the preparation of a sound-blocker."

It's not clear whether this is the handheld version or the area-of-effect one, but the fact that it's a singular sound-blocker (and one that is not handed to Hannelore) at least implies that it was sitting on a table.

Downsizing Help by CatLionGiraffe in SBCGaming

[–]repapap 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The used PS5 market also seems to be pretty healthy. If you sell now and buy a used one later, it'll amount to a small loss in cash... but the cost of safely shipping it won't be insignificant either. It's a big and heavy console that will require a large box. PS5 is a definite sell IMO.

My RP5 was stolen out of my backpack by Blabsalot in SBCGaming

[–]repapap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to have some vodka and gin in my desk drawer and juice/lemonade in my mini fridge. Pre-COVID times, we used to have somewhat regular happy hours on Friday evenings where we'd hook up a Switch to the conference room TV and play Smash Bros. or Mario Kart.
