The Oct 2019 - Oct 2021 Out?

NTSC-U and Asian NTSC consoles are the choice for the mod. Japanese consoles are nearly as bad as PAL but at least they're NTSC natively.

It works well enough on PAL consoles 750xx and above, but those models (any region) have always had issues with some PS1 titles.
Apparently there are even issues with a few PS2 titles on those models which I never knew until I was reading up about the mod.

I spent those years playing Xbox mostly. Not that I hate Sony consoles, I've had heaps more of them pass through my hands.

Sony's systems tend to have one issue or another :shrug:.

mGBA Integration Demonstration - Take GBA/GCN Connectivity Games Online!

Dolphin now has its own GBA core integrated directly into the emulator. Powered by mGBA, Dolphin's Integrated GBA can be set to any GameCube controller port and will automatically boot alongside Dolphin. Everything you need for it can be configured directly in Dolphin's GUI, including BIOS, controls, default ROM, and more! Best of all? The Integrated GBA works on netplay, movie recordings (TASes) and supports savestates! And to top it all off? Performance is higher than the current TCP GBA protocol.

I saw that. Its amazing how much progress is being made in emulation.

Neat, love to give Windwaker a try with it.

:bounce:

FO76 soft locks and server disconnects have been annoying me lately >.>
I can sometimes play for 3-4 hours without issues, but I when I do see issues there are usually a bunch of other people in the same world and plenty are fairly high lvl.
I've seen a few different people lately with lvl over 1000.

I'm only like lvl 35 or something atm. Technically I can build 2 power armor sets but haven't got the plan for the PA crafting station yet, plus I don't think I have the materials to build all armor pieces for those 2 sets. I'm close for the more recently added set, but excavator I think I can only build arms or something.

Yeah it can be back and forth. I've been able to play for hours no problem and other times..well not so much same as you.

Isn't their a full excavator set with a certain quest, Mole Miners come to mind and think their was one of those nasty flying boss things at the end. Can't remember the name.

Think I'm only around level 60. These other people at such high levels must be playing all day since it came out. Brutal. You can build 2 bases now apparently. Other than a quick peak now and again I haven't really played in quite some time.

Oh and I think they upped the storage limit again.

Welp we should hook something up at some point. I'm not big on the voice chat stuff the kids do now so no worries there. I'll just follow you around and back you up!!! Maybe get Dill onboard, that is if he doesn't still kinda hate the game. Get an EP squad going!!!!

Just earlier I ran into the edge of a blast zone without PA or rad suit, so I could get inside a mine that needed to be opened from a nuke.
Inside things were mad but I got out ok with what I wanted, amazingly :wacko: Couple of higher lvl players were there so I was pretty much avoiding the fighting.

Heh I've pulled that off a time or 2 myself :P

I have all voice turned off. I don't recall ever hearing anything on the servers thank God, but I only played this a little back when I had GP for like 3 months. My current sub is only 1 month 'cos it was the $1 deal.

There are those visual signal emotes or whatever you can use anyway but I never bother.

I don't bother either.

Guess you've got that first month deal then? Just remember to cancel or it will keep billing you the full price starting with the next month.

Yeah I unsubbed straight away. I've never given any CC info anyway, I only use gift cards. Current balance is like $2 or whatever :lol

Well there is a lot of .99 - 1.99 games out there :wacko:

FO76 servers gone offline for maintenance. They did that last night too >.>

Noticed a few people on ebay trying to sell used series S consoles, for around the same price as what good condition XB1X consoles sell for atm :lol
The only way to get XB1X really cheap is to get one that has a fault of one sort or another.

Also noticed a couple of NTSC fat PS3's lately, early ones with the full PS2 hardware (one was US launch and the other was JPN B model, so no card slots on the latter).
Both "faulty", one was ylod but the other had broken HDMI output so maybe it's actually ok idk. Stupid prices anyway, for broken stuff :wacko:

How bad? I'm only willing to take a shot on broken or as-is stuff if it's very cheap. People usually ask way too much for their junk.

Well like $120-130aud for US fat A with ylod, no controllers and broken card slots cover is bad. That isn't including postage. It was all scratched up and dirty vents etc. Terrible.
The JPN fat B without card slots looked much better, was like the same price and power light was normal but I'm guessing the seller only tested with HDMI cable and didn't get output :shrug:

I know you can delid and apply new thermal paste to fix some ylod, but there's no way of knowing if any further repairs are needed. Delidding those things can be tricky anyway.

I think there's a fully working US fat A for like $300aud or maybe more. Just bare console. Fucking crazy :lol

My bad, I remembered completely wrong (last sentence)...

JPN A06 with 3.55FW. 60GB with JPN power cord.
$500 and another $27 postage (no insurance afaik).

It is rather ok looking.
But nuts.

There's another broken US A01 currently at $100 auction, 3 days left. Postage is $25.

Hmmm...

I can see a "not working for repair or spares" PCEngine. Console only, white.
Has best offer so I'll watch that. BIN price is silly atm.
Also watching a fully working spice orange cube with JPN psu (I already have a spice gbp).

Grabbed a couple of things from work for pocket change...
TC's Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow (Xbox) promo, mint
My Summer Story (LaserDisc) NTSC

Oh boy, ever since I had that first pfizer shot I'm constantly tired but can't actually sleep properly.
It's like chronic fatigue or something :ugh:

Can you drink alcohol with the shot? Cuz a little bottle of whiskey would knock you out :P

I stopped drinking alcohol more than 20 years ago.
Reason: I definitely had a drinking problem and there have been several alcoholics on both sides of the family (all are dead now).

I do still have a small shot of Irish whiskey at funerals over the years, plus generously alcohol soaked Christmas pudding every year... but I need to avoid having a bottle around at home.
Beer? Never really liked the stuff tbh, I did drink it back when I was young but only socially.

OCD and drugs/drink don't mix well :lol

I've really slowed down myself. Generally nothing during the week and now down to just a 15-pack on the weekend.

I used to be really bad with it. As you all know :P

Yeah, well I know it's tough to give things up. It's good you're trying and getting somewhere though :nod:
I smoked weed for some time after I gave up drinking.
Still smoke tobacco... it's the only thing left and the hardest to give up for me :(

I do smoke way less than I did in my 20's though. So kinda getting somewhere.
Everytime I try to give up I eventually go crazy and everyone around me suffers horribly :wacko:

Basically become irrational and any serious discussions make me end up like this:

https://media1.tenor.com/images/195f...e6a3/tenor.gif

Been slowing down on smoking too. I'm getting some really bad breathing problems. Switched to pouch tobacco and just spit and rolling it now. A pouch lasts me a week whereas I was smoking a carton a week just last year. Much less now.

I still smoke weed a very tiny bit. I just like a puff or 2 after a few beers. Hell an 1/8th lasts me 3 or 4 months :lol.

Yeah I switched to rolled tobacco many years ago. Tailor cigs (packets) were too dry for me and irritating, plus a lot more expensive.
Another thing about rolling is that you can make a smoke a little bigger or smaller, handy if you're working and haven't been able to get a break for like 3-4 hours (make a larger smoke). Still not as bad as chaining 2x bought cigs though which is what some young people still do on breaks.

But even pouch tobacco is really expensive here now. Most of it is tax, they're trying to tax is so much that people stop smoking :rolleyes:

20 gram pouch of Winfield is like $40 or so now.
I remember buying 25 pkt of Winfield cigs when I started secondary school for less than $2 :wacko:

Anyway, I've procrastinated enough this morning, time to head off to work.
Later dude :wav:

I don't know what the exchange rate is right now but that sounds about as dumb as it is here. I've only gotten okay deals on as-is stuff a few times.

Most of the time someone asks half the going rate (or more) for a working system and expects you to think it's a good deal :wacko:.
