    Hacking SX OS 2.9.5, FW 10.0.3 ... some issues with latest games

    2.9.5 is a buggy mess causing all kinds of problems with lots of different games. Rumor has it 3.0.0 will be released "soon". Probably once the new chip installs are done ( Speculated chip installers are using 3.0.0 already). Unfortunately seams downgrading back to 9.2 and using the previous...

    What drugs have you tried? How were they?

    Hardware Faulty Joycon

    I was still in warranty. Also they extended my warranty by another 12 months once i received it back. They provided the free post label. Does take them about two weeks to get it back to you tho so i would suggest you pick up a cheap wired controller to tide you over till returned. Didn't cost me...

    Hacking How can i enter rcm without putting something? (jig or etc)

    I personally used a bit of wire to RCM my switch the 1st time. Worked on 1st attempt too and pretty easy to replicate once you get the hang of it. Saying that tho i did end up getting a RCM Loader for quickness eventually.

    Hardware left joycon won't work correctly or calibrate

    Left Joy con messing up seams to be a common thing. My console was under warranty so i sent it to big nin to replace/repair the joy con. No need to send the whole console in and they e-mailed a prepay shipping label to send it it. If its still under warranty you should be be able to go to...

    Hacking It seems there's two different types of RCM jig???

    I used a wire from an old 4pin IDE power cable. Ran it from pin 10 up to the heatsink area at the top. Alternative is the screw in center of rail. Works great and no forcing of any pins.

    True, but on 2 monitors at 4k. Its just want you want really, to each they own.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    For a kids aspect Anbernic would be the better option they'd probably melt over the price on a good 4k display

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    For that texasroo guy, I'd recommend the Spell and speak as his first system.

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    So they buy a pi5 kit for about $150 and say a 28" 4k display probably looking around $400 total
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They'll be getting in the territory of portable Pcs anyway

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Again you get what you pay for, its like buying a S series for $300 but its only 1440p native, if you want true 4k, gotta get the X model for $500. But yea you right, when moms buying it anyways, you gotta stay cheap.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They could use HD out on their TV no real need for a monitor these days tbh the purists will disagree
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I'm kind of phasing out on the need for wanting all these consoles cool to have but they just become dust build ups
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I here ya there, I have too many myself, and have hard time letting them go, since most of mine I've modded at some point. Anymore I just play Switch on the go, seriesx at home.

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I need to invest in some storage totes tbh
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Tots?
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Tootles
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Tootles? Wtf
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Oh tootles
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Oh totes , lol, like Tupperware storage, I gotcha
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I'm designing my own entertainment cabinet for my man cave, to store all my systems, then I'm also designing a power supply/HDMI switcher so I can switch to whichever system I want, and power it also. Already picked up the cabinet board, but tinkering with my drawings before start
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    But yea, I have frogger arcade cabinet that I gutted and put a Pi4 then Pi5 into, but it never gets played much anymore, should sell it. Even when the kids come over, they don't want to play on it, just the xbox. TMNT and Simpson's arcade is still so fun on it, esp w 2 players.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Gonna check out the new Garfield looks like garbage
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Can't wait to see the new "stick" that can actually play Ps3 or 360 games. I know they are getting close.
