    What systems do you prefer playing on actual hardware?

    LOL, yeah, I get your point. Re-ordering means another 3 months of waiting. It's risk free as far as money is concerned, in my experience, but yes, never order something that you need ASAP.

    What systems do you prefer playing on actual hardware?

    In that situation, you just ask for a refund, and then order the same thing from another seller, preferably. Aliexpress will usually send an email to warn you of the refund period getting close to the end. It's almost risk free, to be honest.

    What systems do you prefer playing on actual hardware?

    My success rate with aliexpress is higher, but not perfect. Only once I never received something I ordered. But it was so cheap (like a couple of bucks) that I never bothered to ask for a refund. I did ask for refund for previous orders I didn't get on time, and they refunded without any...

    Do you hate your life?

    You can steal stuff if you don't have any money. And if you get caught and thrown in jail, then you get free food and lodging. It's a win-win situation. :D Just joking, of course. Yes, in a capitalist society, you need money for everything. For those who think they are worthless and people...

    Acekard 2.1 - AKAIO - NDS games : where do the icons come from ?

    It's pulled from the rom (your .nds file) as far as I know.

    Did you use Floppy Disk/Diskettes?

    But on the other side of the coin, they were great for music piracy. So many cassettes my friend did for me from his great records collection. I remember back then hearing some news item about the music industry wanting to do something to prevent music piracy from cassettes taping. They...

    If you just go back a couple of posts before yours, you will find @Blythe93 posted a very thorough method of updating the Switch. You should read it. Don't rely on AIO Updater or pre-made SD packs. Do it manually.

    Best controller ever

    Oh my! Atari 2600 joystick?! That goes way back, but it's actually the first controller I ever used to play a video game. Only one button, but that's all that was needed for those games back then, The stick was kind of stiff, and it would quickly break under intense use, maybe after a couple...

    Staying on FW17?

    I believe there are new keys for firmware 18. I saw a lockpick version for it. I didn't try it, because I haven't updated yet. You're perfectly fine staying on FW17 for the moment. But if, or rather when, a game gets developed for firmware 18, and you want to play it, you won't have a choice...

    Error Code: 2002-4153 (0x207202) when launching Atmosphere

    It might be related to old sysmodules. Take a look at this thread. Did you hack your Switch by yourself manually, or you used a pre-made SD card bundle? Or did you update recently with an AIO app? These create more problems than they solve, usually.

    MTP should work out of the box on Linux. At least, it did for me. I'm using Ubuntu 22.04. And DBI backend also works flawlessly on my system. It does need python3, though. I usually just enter "sudo python3 dbibackend" to launch it, and it automatically waits for a USB connection to the...

    Misc So I have a bunch of empty DVD-R discs. What should I do with them?

    I was thinking it would be a good use, but in my past experiences, OS installers work much better with a USB stick. Oh well, old technology is old. At least I got them for cheap.

    Misc So I have a bunch of empty DVD-R discs. What should I do with them?

    Thanks for the suggestions. But I don't have a 360, and for the PS2, I was using an internal hard disk (HD Loader and independence exploit, if I remember correctly). That was years ago. 1713621027 They looked pretty dry, and the spindle was well shrink-wrapped, so probably not an issue, as...

    Misc So I have a bunch of empty DVD-R discs. What should I do with them?

    Last week, while walking on the sidewalk in the early morning, I saw an abandoned spindle of 50 Verbatim DVD+R discs, brand new, never opened. The owner just decided to throw them away. I picked them up and brought them home, but then I wondered why this guy threw away those discs? I presume...

    Youtube is driving me loco with the ads

    I wouldn't mind clickbait thumbnails so much if the picture was actually included in the video, which, for some creators, seems to never happen. Or when a title promises to reveal the shocking truth about something, and you watch the whole thing and still don't have a clue what was that...

    Well, it's your hardware, you can do whatever you think is good for you. Your USB connections issues could also be related to the quality of your cable. Do you have some others you could try? I've been using the USB cable that came with my Switch Pro controller for years without a single issue.

    Misc My USB with Wii games on (Cruzer Blade 64GB SDCZ250) refuses to open on Windows 11

    That's assuming he doesn't want to use the USB flash drive anymore on the console. If he just wants to re-purpose it to use in something else, then you're absolutely right.

    But how do you put your nsp/xci files on the SD card in the first place? If you eject your SD card and plug it in your PC to copy the files, and then you re-insert the SD card in your Switch, then you like living on the edge. The SD card slot on the Switch is known to be flaky, and might break...

    You can always get games from the eShop, you don't need to mod the Switch Lite for that. But if you meant "without paying for the games", then yes, by all means, get a modchip for the console and install it. It's the only known way for the Switch Lite.

    What would you do if you won the lottery?

    In Canada, lottery winnings are not taxed. You get to keep everything, even if you just won $50 millions (so about $30 millions US :lol: ). I think the reasoning behind this, is that if the government was to tax the winnings, it would cut the lottery tickets sales so drastically that it would...
