    The easiest way to clean up your soldering station, is with a lint roller. You're welcome. 😁

    This is a really good advice, as I solder on the floor, and the sweep can't always get everything (especially flat solder splashes).

    (my desk is not tall enough, which makes the floor slightly more comfortable (which it is really not, at all))

    I have a desk with a giant rolled out piece of what feels like mousepad or something to protect the top of the desk from soldering stuff. And the lint roller is a life saver because my fingers can't always get the small stuff.

    Just my opinion, but it feels like Alalogue is run by a single person, building systems by hand. That explains away the year-long waiting list. But feel free to change my mind. (They've been like this before the fake chip shortage too, btw.)

    Fake chip shortage?

    Yep. There's no shortage of chips, you can find anything you want. You just have to pay greedy scalper prices, because they're being greedy assholes.

    Just modded my cheap multimeter with a spare GBA battery I had laying around and a spare TP4056 I had. The output voltage is close to 6v, but it's good enough for this. I just hate 9 volt batteries with a passion.

    I mean, does the charging circuit have a voltage regulator in it, or does it "directly" connect the battery? By "directly" I meant unmolested, without any PWM switching or any other nonsense like that.

    Hi, the presition of the multimeter does get affected, as far I know the 9V is used as reference.

    I guess I could throw a dc buck boost in there to bring it up from 6 volts to 9 volts, if it's that important.

    They obviously cancelled the 2020 one, but then they cancelled the 2021 one as well for no reason, as everything else was finally opening back up. But this year is their first time back since COVID hit.

    These silly "wrong picture to go along with the article" posts always crack me up. I'm sure it's a problem on Facebook's end though. Just funny to me. 😁

    When you're a large online entity, you tend to post your content across many social media platforms to reach as many people as possible. I have Discord, GBAtemp, Facebook, YouTube, and an Instagram that I never use. And that's all I really need, but many people also use TikTok and other garbage apps/sites to extent their reach to more viewers.

    I just submitted a cool new Gameboy tool that can batch-convert an entire folder of original GB ROMs to use the greyscale pallet by default.


    I call it:
    "GB Pallet X"​

    Personally, I would prefer a tool to convert gbc roms to the original greenscale palette of the legendary DMG-001.😉
    Jayro

    If I was able to, I'd set the pallet to the 3H pallet from the Super Gameboy. It's the perfect "DMG" shades of green and yellow.

    Got my copy of NieR:Automata today in the mail. It's a day late, but I'm glad it's finally in my hands. It even includes the DLC on the cartridge! This is the alternate cover featuring A2 on the front, and I love it! 🥰

    I asked in the GBdev Discord server if anyone knew of any tools to brighten up color pallets for Gameboy Color games, and after analyzing the Zelda DX ROM I sent him, this dude just cranks out this amazing Python script from scratch, like it was nothing. (I wanted to desaturate the colors for GBC accuracy.)

    Far too long, my friend... I beat the game's single player on release day in one brutal sitting, and I've been trying to beat this last kettle ever since. Finally got through the entire thing today, and let me tell ya... Wave 3 of those Octolings at the end are BRUTAL!!!

    It took me around 3 hours across two sittings, but man it took all of my energy to make progress in that hell. I didn't find the last section as bad the others weirdly, but I think I just enjoyed having an actual battle for once instead of the dumb puzzles

    I wonder when Foridians are going to wisen up and realize that:

    • Florida is a shithole to live in, period.
    • Florida will always be a target of bad hurricanes
    • Florida should be strengthening their buildings, homes, and power infrastructure against this never ending barrage of hurricanes

    Even when it comes to "wisening up", most people are stuck where they are because of their jobs, way of life, their family, etc. Getting TX, LA, and FL to all ditch their coastal regions would be crazy, but not only that, New York is a big hurricane target, too. Needless to say, we're all doomed to suffer endlessly.

    Of course, strengthening their infrastructure takes money, and it's not like the government wants to like, actually be useful for once :O

    Wait the government is supposed to be useful? I though that was just where i commited tax fraud for my entire life (I am not legally old enough to get job therefore i can't legally pay taxes really tbh)

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.
