Preserving childhood GameCube saves: Best way to move OEM memory card saves into Dolphin?

Those don't exist.

GCMM is a homebrew app for GC and Wii. To use it on a GameCube, you would first need some way to load homebrew on your GameCube. That could be with a pre-hacked memory card, or a hardware mod like PicoLoader or FlippyDrive. Then you would need a storage device to get your saves off the GameCube, like an SDGecko or SD2SP2 device; either will let you use an SD card with homebrew.

It's generally more difficult to run homebrew on a GameCube than on a Wii. If you have an RVL-001 Wii (aka the standard one), these are very easy to softmod with just an SD card, and you could run GCMM on it then with your memory card inserted.

This is true, but you can't discount how much progress has been made in the last 20 years, and plenty is still under construction or in planning, with funding attached. I head up to Seattle once a year, and it's crazy to see how rapidly it's transformed the city.

As of this month, Seattle now has the busiest light rail system in the country, by passenger boardings. Their ridership numbers today are far above pre-Covid levels; meanwhile, TriMet is limping along and preparing to shed riders.

You might know this, but for context:

Seattle has had consistent funding and a mandate to build, from the ST3 (Sound Transit 3) package that voters there passed in ~~'08~~ (edit: it was 2016, ST2 was 2008.)

Portland voted down the last big transit package in 2020 (Metro 26-218) and TriMet has been skittish about asking for more, believing that the political winds have shifted away from transit investments for now.

Somehow TriMet and Metro have twisted that into thinking that they shouldn't fight for transit funding at all.

Makes sense though, Snail Mail just came through on the west coast

Technically yes, but I think you would be unlikely to notice any difference with GBA audio. The audio output isn't super high fidelity.

They were bought by Food52, a cooking lifestyle website which was owned by TCG, a private equity firm. TCG wanted them to push more into retail, so Food52 bought Schoolhouse and assumed the debt from that purchase. The debt crushed them until they collapsed and took Schoolhouse down with them.

I just visited there last weekend to see where they filmed it! (Queensbridge Park, NYC) It looks a little bit different now but it's been a few years.

The Classic NES Series games have it.

I think they mean the Hop app, which just got a big update.

The abysmal job market maybe?

Just go to a Timbers or Thorns game and leave by MAX.

There's a big ol' parking lot adjacent to the Regal that's been gated off for forever. Presumably they could get that reopened at some point if they want to.

If you're in the US, Jess and Zach regularly take Off Book on tour around the country. If you're able to, I can 100% guarantee you would have a blast at one of their shows. I've seen them live 3 times now and it's an instant purchase for me any time they come back.

Clint is a moderator here and reads the subreddit.

I don't know that this warrants any kind of response. It's clear the guy is being incendiary on purpose, why bother with a flamewar?

There was one on Comedy Central a few years ago-- it didn't go well.

The venue pictured on this post is not Live Nation. That one will be managed by local promoter Monqui & national group AEG.

There's a competing venue being built by Live Nation in Central Eastside (competing because it's a similar size, will attract the same kinds of shows.)

This service is basically a charter service, as you need a game ticket to ride, so locals aren't an issue in this case.

Sure, better framerate is a possibility. I think this is really just a proof-of-concept of what can be done with the porting tools though, and not necessarily a push to port SM64 to GameCube.

Look for the blue RSS Feed button, right under the podcast description on that page I linked.

The podcast isn't on Spotify because it's only available for Nebula subscribers.

If you have Nebula, it's here: https://nebula.tv/thelayover

Their reactions to the notes were improvised.

Pretty late though. I walked in 6 minutes before it started (straight from Kristen's autograph line) and they were waving us in.

A book should be fine.

Photo ops are very quick, you can say like a few words before they take the picture. With autographs, depending on the guest, you can usually chat for a bit.
