Nope, dasie chaining multiple link cables. Apparently 4 player adapters only work with 4

 

The video goes over Derick’s 2 year obsession with trying to get Faceball 2000 to work with 16 player multiplayer.

In short it works. But the video is well worth the watch as it goes in detail on why it hasn’t happened before.

I agree for existing products. But for new products before reviews are there. It’s very very hard to make your product stand out. Or to convince buyers to try it out.

As someone who had designed and attempted to sell things. On of my key takeaways has always been the lack of awareness or knowledge of my things exists.

Granted if I put a 50ft build board in the sky it wouldn’t change much. But if I did more than I did.. or am doing it would help.

I saw a metaphor in this thread comparing advertising to Smoking. But I think Sugar is a better comparison. Is it needed? No. But a little will go a long way, and some dishes wouldn’t exists without it. Add to much and it ruins the flavour of the dish and isn’t healthy for the consumer.

What is needed is balance and where everything has hyper sugar in it isn’t good for anyone. So I do we need a rethink, but eliminating it outright isn’t the solution.

Born in the mid 90s in Canada. You guys should’ve seen the state of book fairs in Canada. It was easier to pay via cheque than credit card.

I developed a Unity Plugin to utilize this. Was really good to see if another one of your own apps was installed

Cinnamon for 2 reasons

  1. KDE is missing a lot of features which still only works in Gnome. Like the taskbar Calendar app syncing events with services like Google Calendar

  2. cinnamon is extremely stable and doesn’t move your icons around when you connect to an external display with your laptop and the display has a different resolution.

So I got a ~~floppy~~ flippy drive for my GameCube and I wanna have the SD card accessible.

But instead of hacking off the original I thought it would be fun to design my own.

So far I got it to fit well enough. However some dimensions needs adjustments before I start final prints.

A cross platform option would be Power ISO. It has an option for the bin/cue format CD games are in and I’ve used it on Linux. It can also do ISO for DVD games

You loose out on automatic updates and not all packages are easy to build. I am not personally familiar with building Gimp. But I’ve tried to build other projects from GitHub only to get errors I couldn’t decipher.

It’s a skill which not many have.

With endless replay. Rollercoaster Tycoon 1&2. Shout out to Open RCT (sim city 3000 is a close second)

Console favourite- The Legend of Zelda Links Awakening

Sound track - Chrono Trigger

That long play (where you forget what you were doing if you put the game down) - Metroid Fusion/Prime

Pokemon - Emerald or Soul Silver depending on my mood.

Debian/Ubuntu/Mint packages are always older and only get updated once everything is stable.

If you are looking for more up to date packages I would recommend using FlatPaks or AppImages since they are usually maintained by the devs and kept up to date.

I made a video a while ago going over the DS line if you want to watch my opinion: https://youtu.be/LAzUY1L0yOE

If you want to go into the nitty gritty 3DBrew has a wiki for it: https://3dbrew.org/wiki/Hardware

However to directly answer your question. 3DS, 2DS and 3DS XL do have minor differences between the versions, at their core are the same machines with an ARM 9 Processor.

3DS was the original release, and while it's hardware hasn't aged well. The system sold well enough.

2DS was a budget friendly option, going as low as $99 USD with game bundles. The system only had a single display pretending to be a dual screen.

3DS XL was for those who wanted a bigger screen. Bigger didn't mean more pixels. Just physically larger.

The New Nintendo 3DS line N3DS, N3DSXL, and N2DSXL were the ones with hardware upgrades and are worth a pretty penny. If you were looking to emulate more than what Nintendo offered this is the one to get.

However if you want more details I'd watch some videos going over them. It's hard to understand their differences without seeing it.

 

The Model is on Thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6979927

and Printables: https://www.printables.com/model/1230465-gamecube-flippydrive-bracket-plus-space-for-micro

The original bracket didn't have the clearance I needed for my MicroSD Card extender so I modeled a new one based on the 3D Printed part I got with my FlippyDrive.

Currently remaking the GameCube IO Panel as well. Hoping when I am done I can add a clean spot for the Micro SD Card.

 

TL:DR HST is dropping from 15% to 14% in Nova Scotia

Was a fun weekend project.

 

The article is beyond wordy and hard to decipher but here my TL:DR. And please correct me if I miss understood something.

Currently Fusion 360 projects are stored in the cloud with "single storage". The default save location in Fusion 360.

Autodesk is moving to "Fusion Hub" since they boast it's better at collaboration and file management.

If you receive the email notifying you of Fusion Hub. You have approximately 30 days" to upgrade to Fusion Hub. Auto desk will allow you to "skip the process once", but will force you to upgrade after 24 hours.

Once you start the process of upgrading the "Single Storage" will be remove immediately or available for 30 days for collaborative files. So if you are collaborating with others, ensure to tell them or they will loose access to the project.

Shared links to existing projects will be broken after the upgrade.

My favorite FAQ:

What if I don’t want to upgrade my data to Fusion Hub?

Since we are supporting only one location to store data, you will be required to upgrade to Fusion Hub.

Especially since one of the best features is basically unmentioned. Turn on your steam deck and before you sign in for the first time, you can boot straight to the desktop. Just wish there was a toggle in Plasma to boot to desktop by default.

For all intents and purposes, you don’t need to log into steam to play games on the steam deck which is honestly shocking where most new hardware basically requires you to agree to sign in to begin using your device.

Looking at you Windows 11

 

Just saw this while watching a random video on my feed. Don't know when it was added, but it's so so dumb.

 

Love me the original games, just nice to have a stable way to play them. Added bonus both games works well on Linux via Proton. Available on both Origin, and Steam.
