Question to PS2 modders
I've this Blueretro adapter for my PS2 fat, looks like it need to be additional powered by the USB port thru cable, I've read some models may need this so I suppose it is a common issue? Also, do you know if ulaunchelf need a wired controller? Because isn't working with this adapter.
(Edit) Hmm...I'm starting to think that my ps2 has problems in working
GOG seemingly shares that they are considering physical PC 'big box' games. Maybe?
"GOG seemingly shares that they are considering physical PC 'big box' games. Maybe?This could be the case, or could not be. They shared a post on Reddit 19 hours ago from their official account, and I thought it might be nice to share that here, at least to spark some discussion.They simply shared a post titled:Shall we? 📦💿With the following image:Link to the Reddit post is here if you want to see what others are saying about it!"
Time to bring back physical media on PC?
People want retail games and if the big 3 can't cover that market a new and more sustainable subject will fill that space. Maybe it's time to bring back physical media to PC, a more open system where publishers could make profit selling their retail games similarly to vinyls for music.
How to apply cheats to Nintendont (Wii) games?
Someone had experience with it? For example, I want to apply a code to Zelda Wind Waker (EU) to make the X-Axis inverted, I have my rom in:
"/games/The Legend of Zelda - The Wind Waker [GZLP01]/game.iso"
then I have to obtain a .gct file, put it in the right location (seems you can rename the file to game.gct and put it into the game.iso folder, but others use folders like codes or cheats).
I found this website, which seems to have all I need, I click on the first mandatory "master code" then to "ÿNose angle modifier (X-Axis)" and click download.
What's the error since isn't working? (Maybe that's not the code I'm looking for?)
[update]
Ok I've tried another code for a different cheat and seems like they are working! Looks like maybe that wasn't the code for the camera axis inversion.
I'm at a dead point: I know how to use the cheats but I can't find the code to invert the x-axis camera.
Which are wireless options on PS2 to get pressure sensitive buttons?
Looks like not all adapters have that. Should I also consider 3rd-party controllers with included adapter?
[edit]
Brook Wingman adapter seems the one to get but it's 50€, Blueretro seems to support the feature with updated firmware but you have to pair thru PC. (Searching online)
I realized 'Xbox One S' is one of the cheapest 4K player
Maybe not the best in quality but it works, if you are on a budget there are many in the second hand market, they are usually in good condition. You have to log with a Microsoft account to install the bluray app.
[SOLVED] Error 0x0000000000000100 on Xbox One S
[SOLVED] I can't believe it, IT WAS IN A BAD POSITION... This console has one of the worst wireless receiver in history.
~~This network related error code randomly appeared today and looks like it can find nearby connection but it doesn't wants to connect. It's fixable?
I've tried factory reset, I can login with the Xbox app and complete the initial setup, then the network stop working after the wizard is completed. I haven't tried ethernet since the router is far from my room but every other device works perfectly with wifi (and also this Xbox until yesterday).
[Edit] I tried again: I have network working for the full setup process but it doesn't work when approaching the home screen. That's crazy O.O~~
240p optimized | Updates on my CRT+Wii setup
Geometry adjusted, emulators optimized for 240p. This consumer 14" CRT doesn't show great scanlines but if you play very near is good.
This Blueretro adapter works very good on GameCube slots for bluetooth controllers like my 8Bitdo Pro2.
I learned PSX emulation isn't very good on Wii so not the definitive 240p retroconsole but it covers a lot for very cheap.
Best modded console for 240p gaming on CRT? (Wii vs PS2?)
So, I'm searching the best console to run 240p games thru RetroArch on a CRT (14" feels the best size for this): I've read the most mature homebrew console for this are Wii and PS2. PS2 is less powerfull but it has native 240p output and can run PSX native. Wii doesn't have native 240p but ppl claim 480i/480p is sharp enough and the difference is minimal, also it's more powerfull and can run more platforms. I would exclude more expansive options like FPGA or an ad-hoc raspberry.
[Edit] Title fixed since retroarch isn't needed in this scenario
Do you think PeerTube is a mature platform for new creators?
As a wanna be creator: do you think PT is ready to bring visibility to new creators? It's stable?
What happen if an instance blocks a channel? Can I transfer my videos maintaining views? Thanks!
Is it safe the new Syncthing-Fork v2.0.14 on F-Droid?
Asking because of the latest issues with the maintainer.

Hello, as an audiophile I'm searching for a player with local statistics, I'd like to maintain my datas (listens, favs, etc) locally in my drive and, if possible, sync these infos thru something like Syncthing to another PC. Would be nicer a player that shows these stats in a cool way, similar to streaming services like Spotify.

Steam Machine is huge for indie development
One thing I see as underestimated is that having a major standard device is huge for indie development and could greatly benefit the most flourishing artistic landscape.
One of the problems today is that the indie and AAA markets are increasingly distant, publishing a game on the PS5 or XSX digital store is prohibitive for a small indie team, but if Steam Machine is successful, we can expect more easy access to indie games by (ex)console gamers, and later a reduction in publishing costs on consoles.
I believe Steam Deck has already started this process, but with a device that will compete with the 9th generation of home consoles the indie game diffusion could accelerate.
What you do with your windows button on your keyboard?
Personally nothing but when I look at it I wonder if the big bang could actually have been a white hole.
How do you define yourselves politically to others?
Do you also find yourselves defending communist positions because they are misunderstood by most people? Do you also find yourselves specifying the type of anarchism you refer to because most people have a conception of anarchy as simply chaotic rebellion?
Personally, I find it more effective to define myself as an anarcho-communist in order to emphasize the concept of anarchy as a structure and to highlight the concept of communism as a proletarian organizational tool.
Payment app without Google in Europe?
There is a payment app/bank account in Europe who doesn't need Google Play Services to fully works?
