    This week's pfp is NAND Sound Player. It's a great DSi dev app that lets you play music from an sdat file.
    Watching the bars for each of the voices is very nice.

    Glad to hear. I'm working on a site for documenting all of the dev apps, so it's nice to hear that. Nothing too much, just enough information to get these things known.

    It may take a while before I release it though as I've kinda got a lot of stuff to list lmao.

    $170 CAD for a single fucking DSi on amazon. :wacko:
    These prices are out of hand.

    As most used consoles and games by professional sellers, potentially forced to provide some warranty.
    Since the pandemic the prices sharply increased again. Try finding the PAL version of Castlevania – Symphony of the Night. An old CD, more than a quarter of a century old, and the try to sell them for >200 Euros without manual/packaging but with a lot of scratches.

    The only reaction to that is: "No, I won't buy the overpriced stuff."
    I'm missing some games/pieces in the collection, like the mentioned PS1 game. But… no. No way I'm supporting such people. The few missing things will stay missing.

    Got most of my stuff the moment when it was considered "old, outdated junk" and before this changed to "cool retro"

    Tomorrow I'm gonna see the doctor. For the past few years I've found it hard to focus on anything, and it has been getting progressively worse. I like to describe it as a blender. Stick some items in an shut off blender and you can focus on each individual thing. Turn the blender on, and you can't focus on any item. Everything just spins and swirls by.

    The blender is my brain and the contents are my thoughts.

    The blender is an excellent image of a brain crowded with swirling thoughts. It is a problem that concerns many people: we need to learn to give attention to a few things, but completely, and avoid raising a monkey-mind that constantly jumps from one thought to another, creating instability, confusion and lack of balance, even physical. Solution: meditation, relaxation, not medicine.

    Meditation and relaxation may work for some, but I find it doesn't really do anything for me. And I feel that this is beyond simple meditation. Oh well, the doctor is in half an hour so I guess we'll see then.

    Of course, a doctor will never recommend these. I bet he will prescribe you a benzodiazepine or similar. In this emergency situation it may help you, but try not to depend on meds, lad, if possible. :wink:

    Right after you log in to a school chromebook, google sticks all its play store crap onto your computer. Normally not a problem, but on school computers with school internet, you've got to wait multiple minutes for it to download. In that time it hogs up all the internet.

    But here's the kicker: after all the waiting you get a nice popup saying "the play store is disabled".

    Why on earth do you waste all this time downloading a program when you're not even gonna let me run it? Here's an idea... check if it's disabled before you download, and don't download if it's disabled.

    It's a complete waste of time.

    For me it is more than just a waste of time.
    A computer running Google Play Services, Google Play Store, Google Chrome or any of that Google crap this isn't trustworthy.
    At least I wouldn't use a thing like that, even if somebody would offer paying me for doing so.

    Woohoo! I might be getting 2 broken Wiis tomorrow! $50 for both, and their only issues seem to be bad disk drives.

    Have prices for such things shot up that much in the last year or so? Was turning them down working with multiple controllers and shovelware stacks not so long ago.

    Wiis go for $100+ here. The broken ones just had bad disk drives so the price is a bit more understandable. I've managed to fix both of the drives and I'll probably sell one of the Wiis back for $50.

    I hate the high prices and don't want to contribute to them.

    , I used a bad shell for all of this. The 3DS is unharmed, and I took all good parts off of the shell (stylus holder, shoulder buttons, weird metal bit by the GBA slot, etc). I will never do anything to hurt a good console or good parts.

    Happy new year everyone!

    My new years resolution is to not disappear from GBAtemp every other month. I've met a lot of nice new people this past month, so it'd be nice to continue talking to you all. Thanks for making my year on GBAtemp pleasant!

    Guess how much this whole setup cost.
    20221228_005919.jpg

    $80 for everything on the shelf, minus the shelf itself. Thats...
    - $25 for the Wii
    - $8 for the monitor
    - $2 for the mouse
    - $25 for the DSi
    - $20 for the DS lite

    Everything else there I got for free. This is why I buy broken or used shit. If tested, the Wii alone would've cost me upwards of $80.

    Two choices:
    1) Give the extraneous boxes away to family/friends this Christmas;
    2) Re-enact the Boston Tea Party.

    Third choice, I could move up to 3 or 4 cups per day.

    I may just do option 1 though, cause I'd love for my friends who find my collection funny to suffer the same fate as I. It's not funny when you have multiple years worth of tea!

    [1/3] I'm a bit confused. A while back I followed this guide on installing dev firmware on a retail 3DS. Everything was named like 11.4.rar, and Config_v11_4_NAND.cia, so I thought it was for the 11.4.0 dev firmware (listed on dev units as 0.25.5).

    [2/3] But the installed firmware says it's 0.24.67, or as we'd have known it, 10.1.0!
    So why are all the files called 11.4 when it's 10.1.0? And on top of that, 11.4.0 didn't even come out until almost a year later than the guide was created.

    [3/3] This naming is wildly confusing. I have a bone to pick with whoever archived those files. Please... if you're ever uploading something to the public, use a naming format that makes sense.

    All because of this profile post. I wanted only people I followed to see it. But now I figure it has reached page 2 of my profile, so chances are most people will miss it (along with this reply eventually). At some point I won't hide it, but I think this reply is the limit of how far I'll go for now.

    I don't know why, but holiday seasons don't feel like holiday seasons anymore. They just feel like a bunch of boring normal days. Perhaps it's just because I haven't gone to a christmas party in years or because I'm not active in any other activities.

    Anyways, it's a weird feeling.

    I found a 1949 radio broadcast on comic books ruining the youth by making them more violent, withdrawn, distracted, etc. The program had people speaking from both sides and I found the arguments fascinating. Both sides were speaking just like parents today saying video games or cell phones are ruining our children.
