    Anybody in a good place for 04/08/24 USA solar eclipse "totality", or travelling to see it?

    Only getting 92% where I live, so it will get dimmer but not dark. But I'm not taking off work to drive 3 hours to see 100%. I've seen a couple solar eclipses before. Pretty excited for my daughter though, she's in Rochester NY where it will be total. Apparently they're expecting about 250k...

    Best gizmo for turning phone into portable console & media device.

    Looks like my still fairly-able Sony Experia 5ii is going to be retired, cuz my wife (iPhone cultist) claims no photos by text are being delivered between our phones anymore and other compatibility issues. My 5ii has for-shit trade-in potential, so I thought I might keep it for portable web...

    SOTU Address ... Are they showing this on MSNBC or CNN?

    I'm guessing no. She's leading a mass chant, "Biden, Biden, You're a liar!! People want a cease fire!!" 1709863888 Gotta eat my words ... they did just show them on CNN, as the protest is apparently blocking the President's motorcade to the Capitol. Kinda unavoidable to have to show it now...

    Thoughts/Review of Funnyplaying's GBA button sets?

    If you have tried them or are using them, thoughts? Edit: my OEM buttons cleaned up nice enough, so I'm sticking with them. Might try funnyplaying's buttons if I do another GBA sometime, so anyone with an experience please do tell us about it.

    A suggestion to anyone in the GBA "mod" business

    Been watching the GBA mod and luxury market for a while now. GBA Consolizers, custom shells, metal shells, laminated IPS screens, rechargeable usb-c battery mods, Analogue Pocket, etc. Nobody really makes what I want. Consolizer glues you to a TV, but all the handhelds are made for children's...

    Anybody buying an Analogue Pocket Limited Ed. tomorrow (11/17)? or at least trying?

    They usually sell out in minutes but if you're there ready to click you'll probably get one. This time it's a series of solid color limited editions in colors that Gameboy Pocket and GBA's were made in. The one on the far left is silver, not white. $249 plus shipping, it happens at 8am...

    Build The Wall!

    https://www.cbsnews.com/news/biden-administration-border-wall-construction-south-texas/ Your thoughts on the Democrats green-lighting more border wall construction? Thoughts on the Biden administration waiving compliance with the Clean Air Act, the Safe Drinking Water Act, the Endangered...

    Actually useful TOTK trick (non-cheat, non-dupli glitch) for hundreds of bomb flowers

    Ran across this on youtube. Most of the TOTK vids on YT about the most powerful possible weapon, etc are either absurd contraptions you'd be a fool to build, or only good for one blow at the damage rate they quote, etc. Not very useful/practical. THIS video has a tip that's actually useful. And...

    Mod installer advertises but doesn't respond. Just an FYI.

    There's not really much I can do about this, just venting frustration at this point. On Aug 30 I submitted an "order" to a well-known youtuber / modder for an NESRGB installation on my AV Famicom. I have the NESRGB kit already, and an excellent AV Fami I bought LNIB in Akihabara in 2013. This is...

    Mental children

    For the record I didn't like when Rep. Joe Wilson said, "You lie!" to Obama, and I don't like that Marjorie Taylor Greene person, at all. And my distaste for them begins not with their political / ideological views, but to their utter lack of professionalism, respect, and proper decorum...

    Tecomoon vs UWUVCI (vs. ???) in mid '23

    I just modded my Wii U, and getting out of nusspli what I can for now. But gonna need to an injector app for GC and games I want on the Wii U that were never on VC. I know of these two injector apps, Teconmoon and UWUVCI. The latter appears to handle injections for all systems that were on VC...

    Do you actually consider the GBA or GBASP comfortable to use now?

    I was already an adult for a long time before the GBA, and the original model I found to be just impossible to enjoy due to the non-lit screen and the ergonomic nightmare of the case & button design. The case does a curved taper out to each side, and the position of the action buttons to the...

    Best source for replacement shoulder microswitches?

    So, got into the reshell project on my AGS-101 and discovered the L shoulder microswitch is mushy and doesn't click. It might work intermittently, but it's definitely not right. I hadn't noticed a problem because all I've been playing recently is Advance Wars, and it was on a shelf for several...

    Trump cheese dun slid off the cracker

    Trump cards! Gitcher Trump cards, 99 cents! Yeah no I'm gonna pass on that. I don't begrudge him making a buck off having been President, but he just forfeited any chance of a re-election. And maybe that was exactly the intention. Lizard People, '24!!

    Sad day. AGS-101 hinge housing crumbled. : ( Now what?

    Edit: this story has a happy ending. Link to repair photos down the page. So my charcoal black AGS-101 that I bought new many years ago just disintegrated. Or at least, the shell around the hinge on the d-pad side did. Just crumbled. Tragic shit. I guess the plastic had gotten brittle? I had it...

    Wut do you think, IPS vs ITA screen?

    It's not high priority on my things-to-do list, but I've been seeing these "custom" GBA's using parts from funnyplaying and etc., & I do have an old translucent blue GBA that is top notch internally but beat up on the outside, so a perfect candidate. (Was also thinking GBA consolizer, but...

    A less intrusive, EASY hinge wobble fix.

    It might not be aesthetically attractive, but it is super-effective. The 3DS in the video has a major hinge wobble problem, pretty much making the console unplayable until I did this. The rubber used for the pads was from some dense rubber furniture shims that I had already, but there's probably...

    Anyone have EFA-Linker Client 2.62 ???

    I have an old EFA-Linker 256 cart (a real one, with RTC) that I've owned since about 2004(?) ... it's old. It hasn't been used in years, but it still works. I just confirmed, Pokemon Emerald and Leaf still on there and ready to go, as requested by my daughter maybe 10 years ago. Just can't flash...

    Any downside to a (J) Wii U, once modded? More trouble to mod?

    Thought I'd finally get around to modding a Wii U soon, but not gonna mess with my daughter's even though she hasn't touched it in years. See a lot of Wii U's available on ebay from Japan, and I know from experience that Japanese gamers generally take good care of their shit. So, any downside to...
