    Hacking AKAIO + EZV 3in1 EZ5C11: autorun GBA leads to white screen

    TY. It is not a 3in1+, as described here, but is a newer one.

    Hacking AKAIO + EZV 3in1 EZ5C11: autorun GBA leads to white screen

    AKAIO's autorun, when the last loaded file was a GBA ROM loaded into PSRAM, is what fails. NOR mode seems to work fine. I want to know if this behavior is what should be expected for any perfectly healthy EZ-V 3in1, when used from AKAIO 1.8.6 to 1.9.0. If AKAIO either can't autorun to 3in1...

    Hacking AKAIO + EZV 3in1 EZ5C11: autorun GBA leads to white screen

    I gave away my EZ-Flash IV to a friend with an actual GBA, so figured I'd just go and replace it with a 3in1, and try to use the AKAIO integrated loader. When first loading a GBA ROM to RAM, all is fine. Upon starting the DS the next time, it will show the loading text, then go to both screens...

    Any two avid facebook users that like clicking yes or OK, use IE, and do not use any ad or plug-in blocking.

    Gaming best anti virus program

    I third the sentiment that this is bad advice. In the last several years, it has only been normally safe websites with 3rd-party ads that have threatened any computer I've used. I use Avast!, because MSE sometimes steals focus while gaming, and Avast! has a silent mode.

    Hardware Best WiFi Adapter?

    What Originality said, pretty much. An external antenna can help with reception, but it can also snap the device in half, and bend the USB port, when you aren't thinking about it. The router will make at least as much of a difference, and grounded metal objects in the way are your enemy.

    Hacking M3 GBA Expansion Pack battery question

    Your cart's memory was probably working on near-threshold voltage, and draining the cap too fast, causing hard errors all over the place. High internal resistance makes for longer charge and slower discharge, which is what makes a supercapacitor useful. I don't know enough about the M3 GEP (I...

    Hacking Which Micro SDHC Card Brand Do You Use and Why?

    But, do you really need another retractable pen, keychain flashlight, or button-cell-powered laser pointer? :ha: If you've got a history with V2watch, or they have great rep, cool. I've never heard of them. I've spent a bit over $80k at Newegg over the years, so have a slight bias towards them...

    Hacking Which Micro SDHC Card Brand Do You Use and Why?

    Looks that way. Your flag is US. If that's right, I would get this one, for a 4GB: http://www.newegg.co...N82E16820134527 Kingston, from Newegg, in tamper-proof retail packaging, and also $6. Those would be Toshibas, if I recall. Them and Samsung are awesome all around, but if you buy them as...

    Hardware Current rig, upgrade options?

    Buy some canned air, take the PC outside, and spray problem areas with short bursts. If you have pets, there may be enough fur holding the clumps of dust together that you can use a vacuum cleaner, instead. If you can pick most of it out with your fingers, you can probably vacuum it. If your...

    Hardware Speaker / Headphone Splitter Question

    Basically all current computers are this way. A good headphone amp is typically also a good line amp, so why pay for another buffer and jack, when most people will only be using it one way? Splitting it like you want will work just fine, too.

    Hacking Which Micro SDHC Card Brand Do You Use and Why?

    I've only used h2testw as a performance checking and verification program, like CrystalDiskMark, having found that many cards advertised as higher speed, such class 10, often have poor application performance. Until tonight, I hadn't read or heard anything about flash fraud in over 10 years...

    Hacking Which Micro SDHC Card Brand Do You Use and Why?

    No. Not having a class rating just means that the vendor offers no guarantee of sequential write speeds. Sequential write speeds only matter when you are copying large files to the device, however. Smaller writes and reads have no direct correlation, though they will generally be slower. Retail...

    Hacking Which Micro SDHC Card Brand Do You Use and Why?

    That card simply has no class. There isn't a requirement that they be off some class, just that if a card is rated, it must give sequential write performance of that many (2,4,6,10) MB per second. How often does your flash cart, phone, tablet, or Raspeberry Pi need fast sequential write speeds...

    Hardware What Can This Run?

    Honestly, for the cost, I wouldn't build. Big OEMs get a break on Windows that you don't. What I would do is find a good standard ATX mini-tower, with PCI-e expansion, that has at least an Core i3-2100, 6-8GB of RAM, but no video card. Intel's CPUs are far faster than AMD's, today, and most of...

    Hardware GTX 580 Black Screens - Instability?

    Absolutely, no, but the chances are awfully slim, if it makes it through several passes, compared to the video card itself, or a driver issue, which is basically unverifiable without a replacement card.

    Samsung 32GB class 10 (note: not compatible with Panasonic's SD Formatter) Sandisk 8GB class 4 A-Data 2GB (no class, performs about as well as the Sandisk in benchmarks) I tried different ones out after some problems in games, but ended up able to replicate them with my retail carts, in the...

    Hardware GTX 580 Black Screens - Instability?

    Those temps look fine, and the driver should back down and warn you in the GPU overheats. Have you run memtest86+, or HCI memtest? I would try to verify the system RAM, first. If that passes, then assume there is a video card/driver issue. If you mobo has adjustable memory timings, try raising...
