    Best Buy ditching all physical media (blu-rays etc..) in 2024

    Seems to be the way of the world. Various charity shops had 10 DVDs for £1 with most blu rays not far behind. Very rarely see them sold at car boot sales despite many people offering them/having boxes there. That said I was in best buy about a year ago having not been in one in many years. Was...

    How do I desolder the X1 Crystal from the motherboard?!

    If you are replacing it then take your bad set of snips and go to town. If you want it back then in the absence of hot air or IR options, or even just the tip is too big you need to get a bit more creative. You can try flooding some solder in there to in turn melt it and suck it all out. Looks...

    are the Wars games prior to the Advance Wars games good?

    There was a similar thread around here in the not too distant. Famicom Wars and Gameboy Wars are the most well known outside Japan, though that is also more likely because they have been translated where the SNES effort is fairly advanced but was still pending last I looked...

    finding correct game for save file

    Aw I thought we might have to get a bit more forensic. It appears the names it picks are based on the internal serials of the game (which vary from region to region, though not always revision to revision). http://advanscene.com/html/index.php has a nice search option On searching for...

    why the great cave is offensive?

    It is noted many men are unable to find the clitoris but if you fail to even get in the vague region then... there is a reason such things are known as the triangle of doom. Sate yourself with video footage instead, or at least get some training before you become another statistic.

    Video Quality upgrade

    The list of asterisks is 500 long before I even get started on this but yes. Said asterisks are however dealing with whatever is wrong -- there are usually categories of things that are wrong with videos that benefit from certain approaches to restore them, and said approaches likely doing a...

    Why Does September Have 30 Days

    There are people that rank all manner of chemicals and materials. To that end there may well be someone that favours Polyether ether ketone (PEEK) to the point of questioning by outsiders. I am more of PMMA man myself but it is the application that ultimately determines the material for me...

    Why people use commercial game/animation/art tools when there are free alternatives?

    Various reasons. Free software tends to be the Johnny come lately of the field, or if it is earlier it tends to be forked off as a paid closed thing and only when that achieves dominance does someone pick up and run with the older one. Paid and closed tends to make for a budget as well which...

    Why Does September Have 30 Days

    They do exist. Much like Japanophile tends to be weaboo on the modern internet then Anglophile might be better served for Teaboo. There is also a whole ?boo universe but you can discover the wehraboo on your own time. Now I understand the wake me up when September ends thing.

    How old were you when you actually understood politics enough to choose a party or affiliation?

    Categorisation is one of the main lines of pondering in science and it works well enough for political science as well, though even more contentious than biology (is horseshoe theory correct likely to get even more heated than classification of animals). Voting maths has also fascinated me since...

    Why Does September Have 30 Days

    Phile as a suffix goes back a lot further and has a lot more. Paraphilias are the sexual attraction thing using the same root (Australians in the audience say hah) word. Bibliophile (fondness for books). Audiophile (fondness for audio equipment). Cinephile (fondness for cinema). Thermophile...

    Fast-forward on EZ-Flash Omega DE?

    Emulator turbo is increasingly like moving away from dual monitors. Anyway no particularly simple program like you might have seen for some of the cheats and no great list of existing hacks either (it is not a very common class of hack). It is not the worst family of hacks to get going on but...

    Hacking Trying to make the Supercard suck less in 2022...

    Browser was the only thing to take advantage of the RAM officially. Everything else is straight homebrew (I am not aware of any ROM hacks having gone there as RAM*, nor any developer leftover modes, beta builds, hidden functionality or the like). *some proof of concept stuff for ROM but that is...

    Why Does September Have 30 Days

    Leap years happen every 4 years, save for when it lines up to a century (while 365 and a quarter is a reasonable approximation it is not exact), except for when that century is a millennium. You also have leap seconds as well as the earth's rotational speed is not constant. It also contrasts...

    Looking for help to repair the microsd card within an old R4 cart.

    DS should be fine. Do not write a thing to the SD card (sorry, should have made that very clear) as it could overwrite some hidden data from it -- most deleted files are left rather than having to blank them out, and if you change the file system we don't even have that route. Most of that...
