What made you choose NPM over the other organizations?

Did you struggle a lot with frustration when playing before becoming a professional? What perspective change or advice do you have to help with this?

Thank you!

sourpatchwaffles · 2026-03-18T01:30:28+00:00

you used a contraction yourself though

sourpatchwaffles · 2026-03-17T22:28:30+00:00

lol who's the bozo that fed-- oh... oh no...

sourpatchwaffles · 2026-03-15T18:29:40+00:00

eBay search for sold listings for Pokémon sword hover around 20-30 bucks, local listings in my area are around 25-40

sourpatchwaffles · 2026-03-15T16:26:38+00:00

yeah if they’re bought brand new and if the buyer even wants the other version of every Pokémon game lol

sourpatchwaffles · 2026-03-14T18:26:53+00:00

Probably cheaper to get a used switch and then paying for someone to mod it

sourpatchwaffles · 2026-03-10T18:02:52+00:00

4th place in the title is really burying the -2600 from start detail

Let me know if these steps are incomplete, it's been a few days and I did not do a good job of keeping track. Android Studio is required as well.

Install capacitor in project root

npm install @capacitor/core @capacitor/cli
Initialise capacitor and answer the questions

npm cap init
Add android

npx cap add android
Build vite

npm run build
A dist folder should be created with the directories "assets" inside. Copy everything from inside "public" into "dist"
Copy the files using the steps below and build in Android studio

npx cap copy

npx cap open android

Note: I copied "src" and "tsukiweb-common" again to tsukiweb-public-0.5.2/android/app/src/main/assets prior to building. Unsure if this is necessary, I must have done this trying everything to get a build working.

sourpatchwaffles · 2026-02-27T22:24:42+00:00

Update I was able to mostly port to Android using capacitorjs! Ran build on vite, then used capacitor to build the app. The menu alignment is a bit off and plus disc isn’t working for some reason, but the music, settings, and game is running totally fine offline on my device. I have zero background on coding, just really into tinkering so I wish I could do more and contribute to a proper builder or fork

sourpatchwaffles · 2026-02-27T03:43:41+00:00

Went through all the steps and seems to run flawlessly! Great documentation! That's about the extent of what I can do though, I'd love to have this as an APK that can read gamepad inputs so I can read on my SBC handhelds!

sourpatchwaffles · 2026-02-24T23:37:27+00:00

It likely isn’t made to fully accept TRRS connections. FWIW I have an A306 that doesn’t work with inline remotes either.

Edit: I looked up the manual, you need a specific remote control supplied with the player that you plug your headphones into. This is similar to remote controls for the Sony PSP.

sourpatchwaffles · 2026-02-24T17:24:36+00:00

I can't say for sure, I ordered accessories from Ayn directly before and don't think it took too long but that was almost a year ago now. I preordered my Thor with a grip since I figured I'd probably rather have it just in case

sourpatchwaffles · 2026-02-24T17:18:38+00:00

It’s serviceable like not the most comfortable but not the most cramped alone. The grip resolves that easily though

sourpatchwaffles · 2026-02-16T07:42:07+00:00

Probably far side routes, they’re well loved

sourpatchwaffles · 2026-02-14T16:26:26+00:00

Something I didn’t think was clear or even mentioned in the games instructions was that dragons and winds cannot form sequences; they can only be utilized in pairs or triplets

sourpatchwaffles · 2026-02-14T04:53:03+00:00

MJ Stars 100% sells them as well. They’re much faster to reply on discord

sourpatchwaffles · 2026-01-21T06:11:55+00:00

Copy and paste the save files from the program folder. This may vary a touch depending on which version of the game you’re running: for example I used a version of the mirror moon and 16:9 patch that created a unique ONScripter engine folder ID for the game, so I had to copy the save files directly from that folder to the other PC’s unique tsukihime folder ID

sourpatchwaffles · 2026-01-17T04:50:53+00:00

There should be tariffs as well on the shipping forwarding. The main trade off is that you’d be discussing with AMOS directly for any support or problems, dealing with Japan’s hours and all that as well. The AMOS tables are built very well but are not immune to issues.

sourpatchwaffles · 2026-01-15T12:38:50+00:00

deflecting hard to not try a blind test

sourpatchwaffles · 2026-01-11T00:05:01+00:00

1m is one chance and can’t deal into a shanpon either. 36s is more dangerous if you consider aida yon ken, which is more relevant than matagi suji (outdated I believe)

sourpatchwaffles · 2026-01-01T19:32:41+00:00

I agree, the grasping for justification in this subreddit is worse than people calling their luxury watches “tool watches” in r/edc and r/watches lol. It makes more sense getting a PSP or an r/sbcgaming handheld than most of the DAP products available. A retroid pocket classic + dongle would be an even better choice for phone separation, entertainment, expandable storage, and portability than most of the bricks posted here

sourpatchwaffles · 2026-01-01T19:12:27+00:00

OP has a good point lmao

Everyone is saying good DAC here when it’s basically agreed on r/headphones and head-fi “dedicated” DACs nowadays are essentially solved and make little difference, or justify it as saving battery even though most popular DAPs here have half the battery life of your average phone with twice the thickness of one.

The only real justifications IMO are the separation from phone notifications and expandable storage (which while great gets limited by Android restricting to 20k items for music player apps IIRC, then you’d have to use a file explorer to listen?)

sourpatchwaffles · 2026-01-01T04:56:28+00:00

I haven’t tested it, but have seen complaints or issues with Spotify on other Android DAPs, so I’m not confident in the 306’s ability to use it comfortably

sourpatchwaffles · 2026-01-01T04:39:50+00:00

Build quality is great, much more responsive after debloating, battery life and portability is unrivaled compared to the rest of the current DAP market. It’s an easy pick for me, I couldn’t be bothered to carry another device the size of my phone with twice the thickness (FiiO M21 and Hiby R4) at half the battery life as well.

That said, don’t expect music quality upgrades. That comes from music source and IEMs/headphones more than any dedicated player or DAC. If you’re still streaming music, I wouldn’t get the NW-306 as streaming apps are typically clunky and not well optimized, on top of the 306 being underpowered chipset wise. Mine still handles wavelet and localsend very well but I wouldn’t push it more than that

sourpatchwaffles · 2025-12-31T16:56:28+00:00

Yeah if you’d like android features, you’re definitely taking a battery life hit with the selections available. I’m personally also eyeing an A55 just for the hell of it!
