Re: Do You Have Any Unpopular Gaming Opinions?

@ElkinFencer10 Yeah, those are pretty solid truths I think. Only point I would make in favor of the PSP and UMDs would be portable full-length movies before streaming was a thing. It at least gives you a glimpse on WHY Sony went that direction. The execution was definitely not ideal though and I thi...

Re: [GUIDE/INFO] Flash Carts, ODE, and more!

The biggest advantage of a flash cart is the lower technical barrier of entry, especially on the newer patched models. For a lot of people that don't want to mess with CFW and/or mod chips, it really is the first solution to hack their Switch so I'm not surprised.

Re: Less Popular YouTube Channels (Hidden Gems)

Not sure how small it is, but my current favorite is Cathode Ray Dude. He has a few video game related videos, but it's mostly just old technology in general.

Re: Xbox Series S: The emulation beast

That's even better as you can't be on the latest firmware. If it's been turned off sitting for a while just make sure you turn auto update off.

PS4 is the newest one that has been cracked and running custom firmware.

Re: Games that are actually good in Switch handheld mode?

It might not be for everyone, but rhythm/music games are great in handheld mode. Not usually a lot of text, and the biggest plus is you don't have to really worry about calibration/AV sync like you do on modern TVs. I've been playing a lot of Final Fantasy - Final Bar Line and can not recommend it e...

Re: Console of the Month (October 2022) - Playstation Portab

I got my adapter in. So far so good. I'm using a 32gb card as well. Out of curiosity, has anyone spent time with some of the games that have English translations now? I've played a couple of games of Dragon Quest & Final Fantasy in Itadaki Street Portable . Not too bad. I also have Grand Knight...

Re: Anyone use these generic PlayStation to USB adapters?

I've used this one with good results. Haven't tested it with a PS1 controller, but it has worked well for ps controllers and the only one I know that fully supports guitar hero controllers (the reason I bought it.) Little pricier but I'm happy with it so far.

Re: PS1 keeps going to the Memory Card/CD Player screen.

Yep, just old consoles being old. For exame, you'd have a hard time finding a working game gear that hasn't been recapped.

Guess how I figured that one out? :lol:

Re: Nintendo's worst mistakes.

I would go with how they named the Wii U. I get they were trying to piggyback off the massive success, but they missed with that big time. A lot of people had no idea it was a totally new console. Could have gone with Wii 2, Super Wii, or almost anything else and I think it would have landed with be...
