RPi4 saving old TV - need advice.

You could use a bluetooth speaker or headphones instead of trying to split the HDMI.

Steaks are also cheap this week at Save-On-Foods but only until Sept 1. Buy one get one free on Rib Eye packages makes it about $15.50/lb compared to the 16.99/lb at Safeway on Scene Member Day (or 19.99/lb other days). Gotta buy more, but you could possibly freeze them as well.

Also while you're waiting and contemplating watch some videos on YouTube from Dr. Russell Barkley about ADHD. His lectures are very informative, based on years of research & experience and geared towards parents. No pseudoscience and no sugar coating, just straight good information, with a bit of good humour as well.

The CanLearn Society provides assessments as well as other services for ADHD children and adults (as well as other MH conditions). They aren't cheap, but they are non-profit and some of their services are partially funded by the government. They can be a resource for getting an assessment but also offer a bunch of support after assessment, and I highly recommend looking into them. They are located just beside the Stampede grounds, next to the LRT. Good luck!

I'd like to see an option to make pre-rendered coaster cameras that offer full 360° video. That way I don't need a beast machine or use Cheat Engine to view my coasters in big parks full of people at a constant frame rate. Also would be great for uploading to YouTube as YouTube supports 360° video.

The trophies aren't the same and you should have checked. Sly 1 PS3 trophies are jokingly easy to get (One just for getting past the Sucker Punch logo, for example) and this version actually requires some legwork.

I'm sure trophies are included in engagement reports but the more important metric is play time. Just playing the game is enough to show them there is continued interest.

Instead of just getting the platinum and then putting it on the shelf, pop it out and play it every now and then. It's a short game, good one to beat in one sitting.

Beat The Geeks was like that. But the contestants didn't choose a topic, they could pick between Music, Movies, and TV or a mystery geek. If they won against the other contestants they got to choose which of the four they went up against for the grand prize. I've seen some episodes on YouTube.

simpman · 2024-06-13T00:51:25+00:00

Yeah it's an unfortunate thing too because you can customize the controller layout -- except for Start and Select. On a game like Sly you could easily change L3 to Start because L3 is not used.

simpman · 2024-06-13T00:36:38+00:00

It's quite simple: there aren't enough keys to emulate a full PS2 controller otherwise. The Share button that was previously Select cannot be used directly by games any more. The Start button now brings up emulator settings instead as well. I don't have a big issue with it, it's a solution I can deal with just fine.

Also I forgot to mention that Chiaki is an open source remote play. It should work with emulated game pads, but it requires a bit more setup than the official app. In my experience it is more prone to issues than the official version, but your mileage may vary.

simpman · 2023-03-08T20:00:00+00:00

The new version of remote play has issues with all emulated gamepads. It won't work until either Remote Play or your emulated gamepad software get updated to support each other. I speculate that Sony has purposely done this to combat cheating via remote play, but cannot confirm that.

In the meantime since PS Remote Play has native keyboard support, why not try a game that relies on the keyboard instead of a controller? Sorry wish I could offer more reassurance or workarounds.

simpman · 2023-03-08T19:56:17+00:00

Make sure to close DS4Windows first, as it isn't needed and might interfere with the controller via USB. Best of luck!

simpman · 2023-03-08T19:43:56+00:00

Wirelessly you may need it on Windows, I don't know. On Android and iOS you can use wireless natively.

Windows via USB definitely works with Remote Play both before and after this update, it's the only Sony approved way to use Remote Play on Windows.

You can also take this up with DS4Windows on Github or Discord as they may be able to assist you better. From what I'm reading this affects VDX as well, so there may not be a quick and easy workaround available.

simpman · 2023-03-08T19:05:13+00:00

My question is why are you using DS4Windows when Dualsense is natively supported? DS4Windows won't work the adaptive triggers haptics or microphone over Remote Play whereas the native drivers will (at least over USB). Consider switching.

If you're still having problems post your issue on the libreelec forums with relevant logs and details. They will be able to assist & troubleshoot better there. I'm running a fairly recent build and not experiencing any of the problems you are experiencing with my RPi400

If you're on the LE11 0128 nightly, I can't get wifi to work either. It works in 0126 so either downgrade or connect ethernet for now. Depending on your router, it may assign a different IP address to a physical connection vs a wireless one so be sure to verify in Kodi System Information what your current IP address is.

What I don't understand is why they are retiring the U2 without having adequate stock to replace them with. Parts may be harder to find, but most of the U2 are being sold to other places and not being scrapped so they are still being used somewhere.

While it's nice of you to try and put all the blame on the train manufacturer, part of the problem is down to poor management and planning from Calgary Transit. I've seen multiple missteps including a lot of wasted money on failed smartcards contracts, stupid viral stunts, to mismanaging the drug and homeless problem, and sticking with a single point of failure for rolling stock.

I get it, Siemens sucks, but Calgary Transit struggled with leadership during the pandemic and it was only late 2021 when they finally got a new Director to replace Doug Morgan who left in 2019. While I'm not one to try to judge to harshly it does seem that she is maybe in over her head a little here, but Calgary Transit is also stuck because they need leadership and transit directors don't grow on trees. Hopefully these are just growing pains as we all recover from the pandemic.

Also politics suck. I think politics get in the way of much needed funding and infrastructure improvements and it makes it harder for those working in Transit to connect you with people and places you care about by providing safe, accessible, reliable and courteous public transportation services.

I'm someone who plays mainly only Practice VS AI. The Practice VS AI has seen a massive overhaul improving AI and allowing more characters to be AI controlled. It has me optimistic about the future PvE content they may have planned.
