‘hey i got my old wii u back, i think i’ll jailbreak it before the eshop shuts down’

HAS A NEW PROBLEM EVERY SINGLE DAY THAT I TRY TO MAKE PROGRESS

[onemillionspiders]

I'm so sick and tired of games taking up so much space. you want HOW MANY gigs of space?? on my PHONE??

[running-in-the-dark]

oops apparently there's 42gb of just photos and videos that I took (10,000 files). I guess I haven't gone through those in a while 😬

oh my god I get it your storage is almost full will you just shut up and leave me alone for five minutes?? the more I get these notifications the harder I ignore them 😤

The best system to play Gameboy games on is... well... you can play them on many devices.

Officially it would be GBA SP because it can run Gameboy and GB Colour games.

However, very few backlit SPs were ever released (they are frontlit). So a better unit for Gameboy Advance games might be the DS Lite, which universally is backlit and which is lightweight enough to not cause problems. It also has better ergonomics than the SP, but I am bugged by the black borders and empty second screen.

A really popular mod is called the "Gameboy Macro", which is when you take a DS Lite lower screen and use it solely as a gameboy advance. It is a great way to recycle DS units with a broken top screen, a common issue, though it makes me cringe to think some people modify perfectly fine units this way.

The Lite also has issues with the cartridge sticking out the bottom, so many prefer using the "phat" for this purpose. The original DS is both frontlit and backlit for some reason. The image is still an improvement on frontlit SPs.

The best units to play DS and 3DS games on are... the DS and 3DS.

Specifically the best place for NDS games is the DSi XL. No non-DS device has the touchscreen versatility to run DS games well, and it's very awkward scaling the tiny screen on an emulator.

The 3DS is also not a great place for DS games. The 3DS top parallax screen is incapable of a 1:1 pixel ratio even in pixel-perfect mode, which already has the issue of black borders around the screens, making touch-based games more finicky.

It is especially apparent on the XL models but is also an issue on the smaller 3ds models.

The best unit to play DS games on is the DSi XL. It has a backlit screen and more power and memory than the first two units, making loading faster. It doesn't have the scaling issues of the 3ds, as it doesn't need to do any upscaling at all - the XL has the same number of pixels as a normal DS.

I've never used a DSi XL because all the ones sold in the UK are these ugly beige colours and they never took off, but if you don't mind the loss of the GBA slot, it's the best device for DS games.

Unfortunately DSis seem to be plagued by yellowing screens. I can tell you the small unit I just bought has some very slight yellowing on both screens.

What's the best way to play 3ds games? Well, on a 3ds obviously. It's even harder to accurately emulate 3ds games than DS games, and you lose the 3d effects altogether.

But which 3ds is best?

It depends on what you want. The 3ds more than any other Nintendo system besides the Gameboy is heavily based on preference instead of objective superiority.

To get it out the way first, while the original 3ds has the sleekest look, it's the worst one. The original 3ds and 3dsXL have a much worse 3D implementation, relying on you to stare at the screen at an odd angle.

Not only does the New3ds fix the 3d with an eye tracking sensor, it also has more power again, and a "c-stick". I also think the screens on the New3ds are of a higher quality and run flat games better too.

However the New3dsXL has some downgrades. The SD card is replaced with a microSD but now requires a mini screwdriver to access, removing the back plate. The stylus is also a really tiny one like on the DS, in an awkward place, and the metallic skin on the console will decay very quickly with use. My New3DSXL's skin started peeling under my hands after just six months of use.

The New3DSXL is the best unit to play 3ds games if you are looking to have all the features at their most optimal. It is the best by far for playing in 3d. It can also run the DS library fine, if in a poor image quality.

Personally I prefer the XL, the larger size is easier on the eyes, though the customizable panels on the hard-to-find normal size New3ds are cute too.

If you don't care for 3d, the Wedge and Doorstop may be for you.

The 2ds has all the features of a 3ds apart from the 3d, while in a wedge shape that looks dreadful but actually feels more ergonomic. It has similarities to the first Gameboy Advance and you can't tell you're holding something so tall.

The original 2DS is sold for much cheaper than the other units because Nintendo sold it for cheaper and nobody particularly wants one, so it's the most affordable way to try every game in the DS library, especially if you pair it with a jailbroken SD card. Unfortunately it still uses the 3ds screen, just with no 3d slider, so it still upscales DS games and doesn't have perfect rendering of 3ds games either, but it's harder to tell as the screen's tiny.

The New 2ds XL was the last DS ever sold, it came out after Switch. A lot of cute variants of the 2ds XL exist, and most games coming out around its release didn't have 3d enabled anyway. The feature had died in popularity, so while a 2d 3ds was originally scoffed at, in 2017 it just made sense.

While the New2ds XL looks fancy in a distance, the ergonomics are worse than any 3ds, and far worse than the wedge 2ds. The New2dsXL is all style and no substance, with the speakers being covered by the user's hands, and it's made out of a flimsy plastic. It's clear Nintendo made the materials for the hull cheaper and cheaper over time, so by the end of the 3ds's life they had gone from a very premium-feeling device to cheap plastic. The Switch would follow this design philosophy.

I do salivate over that Pikachu version and I'd enjoy trying one, but my mind tells me it's not a great device.

All told, which do I think is better? Well I think the 3ds XL having the most features is inviting for me, and I have the choice of turning off 3D. However if you want bang for your buck, the 2ds wedge might be your safest option.

Unfortunately the New 2ds XL and New 3ds XL will cost you as much as a Nintendo Switch these days. It seems that sellers have wisened up to the demand from people who missed out on the 3ds and want to try it out. There's also talk of IPS screens being better and the New2ds XL, 3ds XL and DSi XL all use IPS screens, so people are scalping them or raising prices.

Well, what do you think of all the Switch 2 hooplah recently?

Everything we know sounds like Nintendo was very close to announcing a Switch Pro to supplement the Switch Lite. From what I remember (and maybe I'm getting some of this wrong, it's just from memory):

In the big Nvidia leak, a second driver branch was discovered for the Switch's specific brand of Tegra chip that included a new version of DLSS, the tech that upscales low resolution displays up to 4K. It was assumed this was for the Switch Pro.

It's not just that the Nvidia leak was for the Switch's Tegra chip, I believe it was for, like, a "version 2" (or even version 3) of that same chip.

Bloomberg ran a report that a dozen or so developers had Switch Pro development kits and were targeting their games for it. I don't think it's unreasonable to assume something like Mortal Kombat One and the Batman Collection were probably including the Switch Pro in their targets, and the performance problems people reported in Link's Awakening HD were probably meant to be cleaned up by the Pro. Digital Foundry also has noted that Nintendo's own trailer footage of Tears of the Kingdom appeared to be running on hardware much better than a stock Switch.

Some reports of the Switch 2 are "more evolution than revolution" and it feels to me like Nintendo is just taking the Switch Pro and maybe just bumping it up a little more. After all, they have all this work done on development for the Pro, so why not just extend the capabilities a little more?

The current target is said to be "in the same range as the PS4", right? For a portable, I think that's about right. The ignorant will moan at how behind the curve Nintendo is on hardware, but one, that's how Nintendo actually remains profitable, and two, that's kind of the limit of what a portable system is capable of.

Because we have the Steam Deck now, right. And the Steam Deck has created a market of Steam Deck competitors -- stuff like the ROG Ally and the Ayaneo. And for the current price point ($400-$700), we generally seem to have hit a limit of what's possible in portable hardware, and it's right around that "about as powerful as a PS4" spec.

The ROG Ally and Ayaneo can push things beyond that a little bit, but the added power consumption basically makes the battery on these things worthless. Which is to say nothing about system heat; the ROG Ally was famous for having an emergency ejector function that would suddenly launch the SD card from the slot like a missile under the danger that it was getting so hot it might melt.

We're simply at the boundary of what's possible in that form factor, doubly confirmed by Valve stating last year that we wouldn't see a Steam Deck 2 "for at least a couple years." For something this light, this thin, this is as stable and as usable as it gets.

I imagine the Switch 2 will be somewhat competitive in this arena, but not quite as powerful or versatile as a Steam Deck. But it won't exactly be a slouch, either. I imagine it'll be the sort of thing where a $300 Switch 2 will be "good enough" but a $400 Steam Deck will still edge it out in performance.

Will Nintendo announce the Switch 2 this year? Maybe, I guess. I always got the impression that they didn't announce the Switch Pro because sales on the vanilla Switch were way too strong and they didn't want to water down the market with too many alternate SKUs. But now vanilla Switch sales seem to be falling pretty fast and they're in a position to get this thing to market quickly, so I think they will.

I told my brother that I can't remember if my phone has one or two sim card slots and he said "let me check" and I told him that I'm afraid that my photographs that are on the sd card will get deleted if I take it out and he said it's impossible and just pulled everything out. And guess what fucking happened. He put it back in and now my entire album from year 2020 is gone. Over 2000 pictures just gone. I'm crying, I feel like an entire year of my life got taken from me, I have bad memory and I can't remember most things without assistance of pictures and now I have nothing from that time

A new cartridge game design

So, old cartridge games actually allowed for memory and size expansions, along with different upgrades that it could give the hardware itself.

Like a built in graphics card.

These days; cartridges are little more than glorified SD-Cards or USB Flash Drives.

The reason is that it's more expensive to include these kinds of hardware upgrades. And it's harder to develop for when your custom hardware is something you're shipping with your game product.

It also makes it harder to cross-platform.

For the longest time, consoles included expansion slots that rarely went used. Like the N64 expansion Bay, which increased the systems memory but was only needed for four games, and one of those games was only because there was a memory leak the devs couldn't figure out how to fix.

What can we use cartridges for though... It's literally one of the fastest storage types, and even though there's nothing that really sets it apart from standard media, there must be something we can use them for ... Right?

Re-Introducing; read-only memory.

When you load software or media from a source, harddrive, or disc, or card... It goes to RAM. This is because RAM is faster, but more "volatile". Meaning it can be overwritten.

Why not skip that step entirely?

A cartridge already has the benefit of ordered data storage, doesn't need to be loaded into RAM, and this frees up RAM and processing time for generated data instead of re-loading ROM data.

Annihilating load times nearly completely because the data is *already loaded*.

The reason for this is because ROM storage used to be cheap and slow, while RAM was fast but expensive and quicker to degrade with reuse.

But now the types of memory used for RAM has become cheap, and ubiquitous, and by using it for ROM applications, becomes cheaper and longer lasting than typical storage devices.

And it keeps its speed boost over traditional storage devices.

By using a design that changes how we think of traditional RAM and ROM applications, we can decrease load times, because it doesn't need to be loaded into RAM, AND save device RAM for on-the-fly content.

The drawback is, of course; customers will still want downloadable games and content.. And because the downloads won't have the same capacity as your purchasable carts, because they require loading into RAM, it will introduce stress on the hardware itself.

Re-Introducing; Data Storage Cards.

Whether or not you use proprietary carts, or SD-brand brand cards, or USB devices or whatever... You can use these cards *in the same way* as your console branded cards.

The difference is that you can also download to these cards. Or rather, the data stored in them can be read from as quickly as it does from your system's memory.

The downside is of course faster degradation, but you're going to have that with these storage devices anyway.

I'm just saying we should be angry as hell at smartphone manufacturers for taking away headphone jacks and removable storage.

Yes Apple started the headphone jack thing, but every other company followed in their stupid ""courageous"" footsteps. Remember when Google first launched the Pixel and lorded about how it still had a headphone jack but then removed it all of a year later when the Pixel 2 launched?

Apple never did have expandable storage, but most other smartphones did. That was a design motif that dated back to the flip phone era. The biggest seller of Android smartphones (or at least the one with most representation on store shelves), Samsung, doesn't even include it in their top of the line devices anymore.

These companies have removed features and forced us to buy them back in one way shape or form, or worse; forced us into inferior experiences as consumers in the case of cheap quality Bluetooth earbuds. And in cases where manufacturers used to offer phones with expandable storage, now the only option is buying the model with more storage capacity, rather than you know, simply buying a micro SD card with exponentially more memory for a fraction of the price. Even OnePlus, whose smartphones are often labeled as "flagship killers" for how their specs and internal components, and whose slogan is literally "Never Settle", caved to the design trends of other brands

As it stands now there's only one major smartphone manufacturer that still sells a flagship smartphone that functions properly in the US (other countries have different antenna bands for 5G and LTE signals than the US does), and still has a headphone jack and micro SD card slot for expandable storage, that's Sony. Whose phones are among the most expensive sold in the US with the Xperia 1 IV having an MSRP of $1599

All-In-One Computer Buying Guide

Alright, folks, if you're in the market for a new computer and you're eyeing those sleek, space-saving all-in-one computers, you've come to the right place. We're here to help you make the best choice. So, grab a coffee, get comfy, and let's dive into this all-in-one computer buying guide.

1. Consider Your Space

First things first, think about where you're going to put this beauty. All-in-one computers save space, but they're not one-size-fits-all. Measure your workspace to ensure it'll fit comfortably.

2. Operating System

Like with tablets, you have options: Windows, macOS, and a few others. Choose the one you're most comfortable with and that supports your preferred software.

3. Screen Size and Resolution

Bigger isn't always better, but it depends on what you need. Consider your usage – are you working with spreadsheets, watching movies, or both? Opt for a screen size and resolution that suits your activities.

4. Performance Matters

All-in-ones come with various processor options. If you're into gaming or video editing, you'll want a powerful CPU. For casual use, a mid-range processor will do the job.

5. Memory (RAM)

RAM is your computer's short-term memory. More RAM means better multitasking. If you're a multitasker, aim for 8GB or more.

6. Storage Space

Decide whether you want a traditional hard drive or a faster and quieter solid-state drive (SSD). SSDs are the bomb for speed, but they come at a higher price. You can always opt for a hybrid model with both.

7. Graphics

Are you a gamer or a designer? You'll need a dedicated graphics card. For everyday use, integrated graphics should suffice.

8. Ports and Connectivity

Check the number and types of ports available. USB, HDMI, and SD card slots are handy. Also, make sure it has Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for easy connectivity.

9. Audio and Webcam

If you're into video calls or enjoying good tunes, don't overlook the audio and webcam quality. Crisp sound and a decent webcam make all the difference.

10. Budget

Set a budget and stick to it. All-in-one computers range from budget-friendly to high-end. Don't break the bank if you don't need all the fancy bells and whistles.

11. Read Reviews

Before you click that 'buy' button, read some user and expert reviews. They often reveal the quirks and perks of your potential new computer.

In conclusion, all-in-one computers are fantastic for their space-saving design and sleek looks. With the right research and a clear understanding of your needs, you'll find the perfect all-in-one computer to suit your style and keep you cruising through the digital world. Happy computing!

...may be having to get a new MP3 player this month - this will be determined when I find out whether the battery of my current one was just stupid low and needed a long time to get enough juice to turn on, or whether it’s just signed off for good. I kind of hope it’s just taking awhile to charge - I’ve always used SanDisks, but the latest gen doesn’t have an sd card slot, and I’m not paying $59.99 usd in the year of our lord 2023 for something with 32 gigs of memory and no sd slot. I don’t even bother using the internal memory these days, I just keep it all on the sd card so that when I need a new MP3 player eventually I can just transfer it over and instantly have my whole library ready.

If I need to get a new one, I will, and I’ll pay to get one with decent sound and stuff (I bought one that was cheap once - big mistake, totally useless), but if I do I’m gonna be buy from a new brand for the first time ever.

...

...I should ask Techgod about this if I need to get a new one, he’s a tech god, he knows things, like product specifications, and how to safely buy tech second hand without getting swindled, which are skills that are both valuable and admirable, especially to someone like me who always buys new purely because I’m exactly the sort of dupe people selling faulty tech can see coming a mile off, and I can’t afford to try again if I don’t get it right first try. Still getting used to having someone like this in the pool of people I know.

The Best Music Players for USBs:

A Comprehensive Guide

Introduction

USB Music Players devices are on the Rise. They're especially useful if you have a lot of music and don't want to bother with CDs or other storage and playback methods.

If you're looking for an easy way to listen to your favourite tunes without having to lug around a load of CDs, then this blog/article is for you!

We'll discuss what USB Music Players are and how they work, as well as how they compare with other types of media players like iPods and MP3 players.

Best Music Players for Beginners

Around £100 From Various Outlets.

Sony Walkman NW-A55: This is a great choice for beginners because it has an easy-to-use interface, and it's one of the most affordable models on this list.

Available at Amazon.co.uk - £37

Music Man  TXX3547 MA Soundstation Stereo: This USB Player is the cheap and cheerful option that simply does the job. And as a result this MP3 Player is my personal favourite. It’s Plug & Play Feature is the way forward.This Device also has a micro USB slot in addition to being compatible with the traditional USB - A Type. The Menu Navigation is a bit cumbersome, and it isn’t the loudest device, But Overall This would be the Editor’s Pick if you’re just getting started.

Available at Amazon.co.uk   - Around £250k

Apple iPod Classic – Gen 7: If you're looking for something with more memory capacity than the Sony Walkman NW-A55, then consider getting an iPod Classic instead. It comes in 80GB and 160GB models--the latter being ideal if you want to store all your music on one device rather than relying on external storage devices like USBs or SD cards.

Available at Amazon.co.uk

SanDisk Sansa Clip+: This player has 8GB of internal storage space as well as support for microSD cards up to 32GB in size; though this may seem small compared to other options here, it should be enough space if all you're looking for is something simple that plays back MP3 files at reasonable quality levels without any extra frills such as FM radio tuners or video playback capabilities (though both those features do exist).

Available at Amazon.co.uk

Astell&Kern AK Jr.: If price isn't much concern but quality sound reproduction matters most when choosing your next portable media player (PMP), then consider getting this high end model from Astell&Kern which boasts excellent sound quality thanks largely due its dual DAC system design

Best Music Players for Pros

Available at Amazon.co.uk - £599

If you're looking for a high-end player, consider the FiiO X7 Mark II. It's got a gorgeous OLED display and Bluetooth 4.1 with aptX HD support, so your wireless headphones will sound great. The sound quality is excellent as well, with plenty of power and detail across all frequencies. This device also has two microSD USB slots for storage up 256GB.

Available At Amazon.co.uk - £999

The Astell&Kern KANN isn't quite as expensive as some other options on this list--but it still delivers amazing performance at its price point.

Best Music Players for Budget Conscious Buyers

If you're looking for a music player that won't break the bank, there are several options available. The Sony Walkman NW-A45 is one of the best budget-friendly options on the market today. It comes with 32GB of storage space and can store up to 1,000 songs at a time. Additionally, it also has a built-in microphone so you can use it as an external recording device if needed!

The Apple iPod Touch is another great option if you want something more high end but still affordable. The latest version of this product has 64GB worth of memory which should be enough space for even large libraries filled with thousands upon thousands of songs! As far as functionality goes though...it's pretty much identical to its predecessors (iPod Nano 7th Generation). This means no headphone jack either so make sure your headphones have Bluetooth capabilities before buying one otherwise they'll need some kind of adapter connected directly into them.

Best Music Players for Exercise Enthusiasts

If you're looking for a music player that's small and compact, the Sony Walkman NW-WS623 is the way to go. It has a built-in clip so that it can be clipped onto your clothes or backpack while exercising. It also comes with an armband so that you can carry it around without having to worry about dropping it while running or jogging. The Apple iPod Shuffle comes in three different colors (silver, space gray, gold) and has buttons on its sides for easy navigation through menus as well as playback controls such as play/pause button and volume control buttons at its top side which makes using this device very easy even if one doesn't have much experience using MP3 players before buying one like myself!

The LeapFrog LeapPad is another great option if you want something that will grow with your child as they get older. This tablet features thousands of apps designed specifically for kids aged 4-9 years old so it won't be obsolete in a few months like many other tablets on the market today!

If your child is interested in learning how to play an instrument or sing along with music then check out The LeapBand by LeapFrog! It comes with lots of different games but one fun feature allows users (or parents) who have an iPhone/iPad/Android device connected via Bluetooth technology so they can download additional content from within these devices directly onto their wristbands!

Best Music Players for Car Audio

If you're looking for a music player that will connect with your car's stereo system, there are several options. The Pioneer AVH-3300NEX is one of the best options out there, as it comes with a 6.2-inch touchscreen display and supports both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. It also has built-in Bluetooth connectivity so that you can easily stream music from your phone or other devices without having to plug them in directly.

The Sony XAV-AX1000 offers similar features: it has an 8-inch touch screen display (which is larger than most others on this list), as well as support for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay--and it also includes built-in Bluetooth connectivity so that users can wirelessly stream audio from their smartphones or tablets without needing additional cables or adapters.

Finally, Alpine CDE-172BT offers some unique benefits that make it stand out among other models available today; namely its ability to charge phones while they're connected via USB port while also providing power over Ethernet connections so users don't need batteries inside their vehicle at all times!

Conclusion

To recap, here are the most important features to consider when buying a USB music player:

The size of your device. If you want something small and compact that can fit in your pocket or purse, look for a player with a 2-inch screen or smaller.

Battery life. If you're going on long trips and don't have access to electricity, make sure your player has enough battery life so that it doesn't die halfway through the trip!

Storage capacity--how much storage does it have? How many songs can I fit on here? This will depend on how much music is currently saved onto my computer as well as what kind of files those songs are saved in (MP3s take up less space than WAVs).
