  1. If yall haven't heard, there's an emulator for the virtual boy on the 3DS called Red Viper. It has working 3D and lets you change what colour it displays in. I like amber.

    PXL_20240310_115549272.thumb.jpg.64c61feb1dfb605f0bb0a37b43266dcf.jpg

     

    Would absolutely suggest trying it. The virtual boy's "screen" is a near identical resolution to the 3DS, so there's no gross scaling artifacts. 

     

    As far as I can tell, they've made the depth slider adjust the depth offset rather than the depth intensity, since the virtual boy wasn't designed with a depth intensity slider.

     

    Give it a try!

      i tried it until my eyes hurt, from what i've heard that's very accurate to the virtualboy experience.

       

      great addition to the library on my 3DS though.

      Cool! There's one for the Quest and the games are shockingly good in actual VR

  2. Alright... What in the fresh hell

     

    I thought I had seen everything with these famiclones and the weird stuff they come with for games, but one where mario's... not wearing clothes is a new one

    I have censored it because although the NES's graphics aren't exactly what springs to mind when it comes to creating adult content, I'd rather not chance it lmao

      I have one with a weed themed Mario game, evidently it's rather common

       

      Also I love the RAM module that's turned 90 degrees, looks like it's soldered on wrong lol

  3. Fixing a dead OSSC from ebay. Thermal cameras are so nice to have.

    This chip has something wrong internally, causing it to overload the regulator powering it. Substituting my own gruntier 3.3v line made the unit actually work, albeit drawing grossly more power than intended. You can see the bond wire carrying the excessice current in the faulty chip!

     

    Albeit at a considerably higher current than normal, it actually does output video now:

    Just need to wait for my replacement chip to come in from China. Almost certain the unit will be back up and running normally after that.

      Good question.

  5. I use Edge as my browser on android.

     

    It has adblock built in, lets me set desktop view as the default for *all* websites, it has tabs on large displays instead of that button that opens a list of pages open, and most surprisingly, the share button integrates a URL tracking information cleaner.

     

    I've not found another one that manages to do this.

     

    What browser do you all use on mobile and why?

      Switched from Chrome to Firefox because Chrome doesn't let you add extensions on mobile (I need my adblocker).

      (But I can't uninstall Chrome, thanks Samsung.)

      On Android I use Firefox, and on my iPhone I use Safari but keep Firefox installed so I can get my bookmarks, passwords, and yeet shit from anywhere to other devices using Firefox (which is honestly the most goated thing ever).

  6. Nothing ever works the first try when networking and/or weird OSs are involved

      Why did I read that as "lick" the first time

  7. I'm upgrading my network to 2.5gbit, which means new NICs for everything including the router.

     

    However, I totally forgot I put a pcie 16x slot on the side of my router, so I could totally do this instead of trying to fit it in the case:

    This machine used to be a really strange small form factor showoff project I never finished which top mounted a GPU:

  9. Rather fascinatingly, my bedroom flatscreen correctly detects 240p and 480i (both "15khz" "standard definition") resolutions digitized and sent raw over HDMI.

     

    240p is a "hack" of 480i that doesn't interlace but instead halves the effective resolution, and 480i (standard definition video) is not a normally supported resolution of HDMI.

     

    As you can see, both are detected with the correct name and rendered correctly:

    PXL_20240119_110224134.thumb.jpg.93c3a4101f713eb2836f8bfce5af2da6.jpg

    PXL_20240119_110355391.thumb.jpg.b9dab8b8e97f461f5d6085f99f2269aa.jpg

     

    I think this is my first display that not only shows "15khz" video over HDMI without issues, but it even can detect the difference between 240p and 480i. Neat.

     

    LG 48A2 OLED for those curious.

      i presume this is a leftover from analog inputs being on TV's (does it have an analog input?) because then it would have to be able to process these anyways, and presumably would process these by digitizing them first.

      It only has HDMI inputs. I've never seen a TV fhat processes 240p correctly. They always process it as 480i

    I still need to paint the LG drive's faceplate dark brown, but it works great so far. I made it use eSATA, and I had to run the eSATA cable through the videocard in my PC:

  12. So I noticed this strange outline on my ceiling in the basement living room with the thermal camera

    After cutting a hole in the ceiling where the outline was...

    It turns out they ran ductwork to this area and never put a vent there

    It doesn't go anywhere else
    Just here

    So I ended up installing a vent there.

      Also keep in mind I do keep my house at an ambient temp of about 15C or so
