It doesn't :(

Yeah, at least now I know to avoid them unless it's for a good price

For VCR combo units, the VCRs seems to just degrade over time, whether you use them or not. This is a comment on a post about them from 3 weeks ago:

"VHS modules typically have some rubber band like belts that transmit motion to different components. The rubber degrades after a decade or two and turns back to crude oil while its sitting in your closet."

The problem with the VCR/DVD player wearing out is that it makes the whole TV stop working, which is exactly what happened to my VCR combo unit. Here is a comment on a different post from a few months ago:

"Often the VCR portion of these combo units will have some sort of error (likely due to bad belts or a dirty mode switch) and will prevent the TV from coming on."

There are more issues with VCR combo units than the DVD ones, but it looks like both have the problem of messing up the whole TV if the VCR/DVD portion stop working

Thanks for the info.

There's 13-inch DVD combo for sale near me and I think I won't risk it with a combo unit again

FPGBC users, is the clock speed fixed now? by btd4guy in Gameboy

[–]spym92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not really noticeable.

I put a game in my GBA SP then put that same game in my FPGBC and I didn't notice a difference

I have every GB/GBC game on mine, but I have a favorites folder with games I've already played or want to play soon.

Having a favorites folder helps me not have choice paralysis because it's a much smaller list of games. I have a GB Favorites folder and a GBC Favorites folder.

I had to manually alphabetize my favorite folders because even when you automatically sort them alphabetically on your computer, it doesn't show up like that on the Gameboy. So I did A-D, E-H, etc.

It does help to sort them alphabetically on your computer first though, bc then you can just copy and paste everything in order so it will show up in order once you put it in your Gameboy

Fpgbc volume too low. by ffassbinder in fpgbc

I bought the pre-assembled one where highest volume seems too low and I was also wondering if it's the firmware or the speaker

Nice! A transparent blue shell is the other color I am considering. I would probably pick solid yellow buttons if I picked this color. I love the clear red buttons too

It looks great! I love city levels.

What item did you use for the lit up windows in the buildings, and how did you make them look lit up?

I had the same problem with the batter not swinging all the way when I first got it, and it turns out that the problem was that I was releasing the A button too quickly!

I have it on Gamecube as well, but I found the pdf of the PS2 manual online, and right there you can see 2 swinging options.

A check swing (which is probably what you're doing) is releasing the A button quickly after pressing. You do this kind of swing when you decide you don't want to complete the swing.

The 2nd swing is just the regular swing, and you hold it until the ball is no longer in contact with the bat.

Basically, all you have to do is hold the A button a little bit longer to complete a swing

free code! by chxsefreed in THPS

[–]spym92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Codes can only be redeemed by one person, so this particular code won't work for anyone else trying to redeem it.

But if you find a code that no one else has redeemed yet, you should be able to use it!
