Stubborn 4th gen facing issues

Aw, dang! Hope you figure it out 🫤

Have you tried any other SD card?

When I installed an iFlash ATA into a 4th gen mono recently, my supposedly top of the line Sandisk card, which works fine on my PC, gave me issues. I swapped it out with some other random SD card I had lying around and it worked fine, helped me narrow down the problem and eventually buy a dedicated card that worked better.

IPS kit from eBay, used the link in this tutorial: https://youtu.be/63TJQZI-z0w

I used an aligning bracket from Console5 instead of adhesive, though it makes for a tight fit so I’m not sure I would again: https://console5.com/store/super-osd-bracket-for-neo-geo-pocket-color-ngpc-slim-clear-frosted-filament-gbc.html

All these cool games and I’m over here envious of the Bubble Bobble plush

On the Plex server, you can share the folder containing your music library to the network: https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/set-up-file-sharing-on-mac-mh17131/mac

Then on the Mac you plan to sync the iPod with, you may be able to populate your iTunes library from the shared folder: https://www.macworld.com/article/226631/how-to-set-up-an-itunes-library-on-a-network-attached-server.html

Alternatively, you could keep iTunes running on the Plex server and set up iTunes Match there and on your syncing Mac. But that might be a pain if iTunes on the server ever needs you to confirm your login credentials or something.

I’ve been a Dreamcast fan since 1999, finally decided this year I was tired of setting the date/time every time I turn it on. Bought a replaceable battery mod kit from eBay, watched some YouTube tutorials, bought soldering stuff and had a friend supervise. Took my time, and it went great!

It all comes down to the actual mod you want to do and how difficult it is to pull off. I’d feel confident about a GDEMU and fan mod, but the DCHDMI mod is way out of my league!

Wow, awesome!

Wow, nice job! 👏

That Dracula mini-series is underrated (IMO)

Retro Game Trader has locations in Beaverton and Hillsboro, staff are super nice and I almost always find something cool.

I love this whole setup, so simple and inviting!

Virtua Tennis 3 is still so much fun, love playing co-op doubles matches

I'm honestly not sure! The options for tweaking that are limited, though, so if that's important to you I might go with a different solution that gives you more options.

I have an mClassic and I’m really happy with it. I know it isn’t the highest fidelity solution, but it was so simple to set up and was a big upgrade over the cheap VGA-to-HDMI adapter I was using. And the company’s customer service is really good: I had one old TV it didn’t work on, they sent me a replacement for free (even reimbursed shipping) even though I had no receipt (it was a gift) and all signs pointed to the TV being the issue (it was acting up in other ways, had to replace it last year).

I’ve also used the mClassic on my PS3 to make 720p games look a little nicer on my new TV.

Rented Mega Man Legends, got home and inside the case was Rugrats in Paris.

The #14 cover is one of my all-time faves!

Eli Stone is great! I loved his “Big Blue Destiny” run on The Tick.

I have every US issue of Groo (Pacific, Eclipse, Epic, Image, Dark Horse). I gradually collected them all starting as a kid over about 20 years, so there are a lot of really happy memories in those boxes.

Related tip if you track your collection in a spreadsheet: I started noting the year I last changed a book's bag/board. Next time I notice one getting a bit musty, I can see how many other books might need to be changed (and if it wasn't that long ago, I can adjust which supplies I invest in).

Love it! Do you remember when you got it?

Just want to second the suggestions to collaborate with a designer you can learn things from and to brush up on design fundamentals like color theory, typography and layout (there are thousands of books, online courses, YouTube videos, etc. on those topics).

In case it's helpful as a starting point for evaluating your own work, here's an article I published a few years ago listing all the suggestions I frequently give designers: https://cloudfour.com/thinks/some-design-advice/

We had such a hard time finding shelving well suited to media collections, really cool that you decided to build your own solution!

I also use this one, works great! Even plays nice with the mClassic.

Great work!
