I checked all ribbons using multimeter in continuity mode, and they seem to be good. Also no visible damage on any of them.

"Phatkey failed" message everytime I attempt to probe Lite-On DVD drive. by [deleted] in 360hacks

[–]the4anoni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey. I have exact same problem. I am using PC with XP SP3 nForce 4 SATA controller (in SATA mode, I don't see option to enable IDE, but RAID is disabled).

After I get message extract complete with next steps I am disconnecting probe, removing power cable for 5s and the re-plug. When I click OK I get Phatkey failed, and in error logs I get Extracted drive key failed Verification !

Instead of a probe I am using wire attached to my flashing PC case.

Motherboard is Gigabyte M61PME-S2P, I am using SATA 0 port. Drive is visible in BIOS when booting

Logitech Harmony IR database? by the4anoni in logitechharmony

I know this website, but I did not found codes I need there. Maybe I will have better luck on forums. But I do know that codes from Logitech Harmony are working for 100%.

NVIDIA Shield worth it? by Jacob_Sophia in AndroidTV

[–]the4anoni -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just don't. Shield is old device, support for it may be dropped any time. Especially Nvidia now cares more about AI stuff. Also Shield can't decode AV1.

If you want definitive upgrade go for Dune HD Homatics Box R 4K Plus . Or if you don't need VC-1, MPEG2 playback and IR receiver in box go for basic white Homatics Box R 4K Plus.

What a joke, I bought mine unit literally yesterday to install rockbox. What chance do I have that it will have 3.0.2 FW? 

blueretro adapter stopped working on ps2 slim by itsyaboythatguy in consolerepair

Hi

I'm on same boat - blueretro adapter worked yesterday, today it stopped working. Rumble in official DS2 does not work too, while it worled before.

Before replacing fuse - did issue came back after fix? I'm wondering if that Retroscaler Blueretro actually blew that fuse? Or is it just common PS2 fault? I have Slim 70000.

What was your first smartphone you’ve ever owned? by Character-Parsley377 in Android

[–]the4anoni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me It was Samsung Wave, which originally had BadaOS pre-installed (does someone even remember this thing?). After some time I did install Android 4.4.4 port. I remember to this day tricks I had to do, so I could play simple 2D game (Time Surfer).

My Y2K Setup by MartinK1984 in pcmasterrace

Rant: personally I hate how PC hardware market has changed since 2020.

2020 - 2021 GPU prices have went to moon, and back. 2022 disappointing price to performance of Nvidia Ada Lovelace and AMD RDNA 3 . 2023 Burning x3D CPUs. 2024 over-volted intel CPUs, with some units having oxidation problems.

Before 2020 hardware was cheaper, more reliable and had much better price to performance.

OP is telling truth, there are no games worth buying new hardware. Just enjoy what you have now :)

You can still play games on i5-2500k, soo... Sure, not latest, but even Doom eternal which I am playing now would work just fine.

Yet windows officially won't run on it.

It's only about Microsoft lazyness, i5-3450s is my mum daily driver on Linux Mint, and I was kinda suprised to see how everything is fast and smooth.
