So I was thinking to myself that a vWii subforum for the Wii U board wouldn't be a bad idea, but when I searched it I saw this had been suggested 6 or 7 years ago already and nothing came of that, so I assume it's no good asking for it now. But what about a vWii prefix? There's a GCN prefix for the board.

Then again maybe that's just not a great idea for reasons that haven't occurred to me. I don't know. Probably this has been brought up before, but if not, something to consider perhaps?

EDIT: Here are links to previous threads about separate vWii forums or sub-forums, as requested.

There were 3 previous threads I saw in this board where the last posts were from 2016 and most suggested a subforum for vWii, simply typing "vwii" into the search function and limiting it to this board should show them. But sure I can link the ones I found, plus a couple of related posts.

Mostly my thoughts on a vWii prefix for threads in the Wii U forums are focused on homebrewing and homebrew applications, since the vWii mode is generally a distinct environment from Wii U and it also has a lot of differences from a standard Wii such that homebrew applications aren't always compatible between the two, so putting vWii in the Wii forums doesn't entirely make sense despite some having suggested it. A prefix for vWii wouldn't require reorganizing forums, but it could help with organizing threads in the Wii U forum. Just an idea though, it's not really necessary. People will still probably post vWii in the Wii forum and Wii in the Wii U forum, I don't know that this would make any difference there.

    Thanks for the like and then taking it away
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    It's been discontinued but you can find em second hand. It's the FiiO model K1.
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @SylverReZ nice. I've been using my BTR5 pretty much daily, got it in late 2020. Mostly use it as a desktop DAC though and the battery has already swelled up in it once, so I had to replace it. Some day I gotta grab a proper desktop DAC that doesn't have a battery lol

    @K3Nv3, Yeah, cheap and nasty earbuds don't deliver the best mids, they end up sounding really muddy.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Sicklyboy, I got mine around 2022 (iirc) and it was brand new, never opened, and for £15 too compared to paying nearly £30 elsewhere.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Sicklyboy, That sucks when the battery already begins to swell up. You considering on a desktop replacement, and if so, which one?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @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

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    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.

    Better than tree fiddy
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @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

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @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

    O GOD I see @BigOnYa
  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    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?
