So I got myself a legitimate copy of (PAL) Vib Ribbon and I tried to use it on my PsOne (NTSC-U) with the LCD screen add on attached (also NTSC-U). however theres two problems:

1. on the little LCD screen, the screen keeps shaking up and down and on my samsung 1080p HDTV, the screen is positioned right and its in black and white. Of course I think its because of the whole EUR 50hz issue on american (or in my case, canadian) TVs.

2. I can't play the "Vib Ribbon Disk mode" (main part of the game), because it ask for the "vib ribbon" disk, even though its on there already. I'm guessing this is the work of anti-mod protection or something?

I did get the game booted up with the swap trick and using my game shark (not the whole swap while spinning trick, but just loading up gameshark, then putting the Vib ribbon game in when prompted while the disc tray is opened). It loads the game but the above problems are there. and I've ALSO tried burning Import Light into a CD, loading it up with gameshark and tried force loading BOTH NTSC and PAL video modes. It did not work at all.

So is there a way to get this fixed softmod wise? or do I actually have to get my system region modded. If so, Do you know any good modders that does this kind of service in Canada?

    @SylverReZ damn 15 is shockingly cheap for that. Even 30 feels like a good price just given what a bunch of other FiiO stuff costs. Granted, not familiar with what those were originally selling for, so who knows lol

    As far as a replacement for my BTR5, I don't really have my eyes set on anything specific yet but it'll likely be from either Fiio or Schiit Audio.

    @Sicklyboy, Originally when it came out, they sold for around $40 USD according to FiiO's news bulletin. https://www.fiio.com/newsinfo/54677.html

    @Sicklyboy, I would prefer FiiO as the better brand for a USB DAC.

    I feel like headphones reached a peak even ones from ten years ago sound better than new ones
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @K3Nv3, all depends how much money you wanna spend. I had skullcandy headphones and shit way back when but I never liked anything as much as the headphones (and earbuds) I use nowadays

    @SylverReZ yeah fwiw I've been quite happy with my FiiO BTR5 so I don't have any specific reason to not a FiiO again. Just gotta see what's available and how much I'm trying to spend lol

    I have the FiiO X1-ii, and love what it does, but the battery life is kinda ass and the sluggish, unresponsive menu makes me regret my purchase a little.
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    has anyone here played botw randomizer for switch?
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    (not the wii u version, specifically the switch version)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Frankly not. That's like a 'cheat engine' for BoTW, right?

    I love Gundam but seed is not among my favourite series. Great gundams and soundtrack, but the characters... Ugh
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Still better than the latest trash like Witch of Mercury

    EU wants to tax all cheap purchases from Temu, Shein and so on an extra 2€ per purchase.
