I'm playing Pokemon Unbound and the clock is out of wack. It also think it's 2024.

I've tried the following options:

  • Emulation Station - There's a section to change the time zone but I would need to set the time zone incorrectly to display the correct time.

  • RetroArch - I couldn't find anything.

  • IUX (the basic system UI) - There's a section to change the time and date under the settings tab. It was way off. Years in the past and completely the wrong time. Changing the settings didn't do anything.

What I think would fix it would be connecting it to the internet using a driverless dongle and a USB C adapter. Unfortunately my wireless adapter doesn't seem to work so I would have to buy another one.

My RG Nano had an option to configure the RTC (real time clock) so I thought there might be a standalone app for it but if there is something like that in PlumOS I can't find it.

The Retro Games Corps How to Make the GKD Pixel II Software Suck Less doesn't seem to say anything about this.

Does anyone have any ideas?


Update: I just read about Rogue OS and it apparently has an app similar to the one I had on my RG Nano. Is one OS really more feature rich than the other?

Update 2: I switched to Rogue OS. The setup process was a bit weird. I had to flash version one then update the SYSTEM file to get the latest version.

Rogue OS seems fine. There were some shaders turned on for GBA I didn't care for and the firmware uses a different core for GBA so I changed both.

 

If you have a device like the Miyoo Mini Plus that has no touch screen or analog sticks this might be helpful.

The RetroAchievement's lists aren't complete. A lot of games haven't been catalogued on the RetroAchievement's website. I imagine results are also going to vary a lot from game to game. For example Stardew Valley can be played with PortMaster on handhelds like the RG35XXSP, you don't need analog sticks a majority of the time, but you do need analog sticks to move around where you want to position buildings on your farm. It wouldn't surprise me if stuff like that comes up.

How has your experience been playing DS and PSP games on devices without touch screens and analog sticks? Can you think of any games that you would recommend?

I'd be interested to hear any other ROM hacks that remove or minimize their use.

 

Well, if you are not, this changes now: KNULLI Gladiator has gone public! The brand new version of KNULLI comes loaded with a whole lot of new features and improvements, such as:

  • Added device support for the Anbernic RG34XX (including tate mode)
  • Improved support for TrimUI devices (toggle switch support, RGB, suspend mode, d-pad-as-stick toggle)
  • Switched default file system to exFAT
  • Introduced access via USB in MTP mode
  • Added quick resume mode to boot directly back into your game
  • Improved Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity
  • Automated assignment of controllers to players
  • Automated switch between Bluetooth audio and built-in speakers
  • Extended power management settings in EmulationStation
  • Integrated RGB settings into EmulationStation
  • Improved RGB behavior
  • Improved power management and battery saving
  • Improved EmulationStation launch speed
  • Replaced Drastic-Steward with Advanced Drastic as a new NDS emulator
  • Added MPV media player
  • Automated detection of ScummVM games
  • Applied 60 Hz patches for RG35XX SP, RG34XX, and RG CubeXX (Thanks to @TheGammaSqueeze!)
  • Added USB Audio support
  • Added ZRAM swap support
  • Tons of bugfixes and performance improvements

The information above is from the Release Notes section of the GitHub page. The actual change log page has more information.


Has anyone tried it out yet on the RG35XXSP?

I was unsuccessful in getting a lot of PortMaster games working Knulli despite following the recommended installation instructions. My post from nearly a year ago about trying to get Stardew Valley working can be found here. I was able to get PortMaster working on MuOS at the time but I prefer Knulli's frontend.

I also noticed an issue where connecting a display to the HMDI output would not work and prevent the system from booting though I admittedly only tried this briefly.

The developer has stated because it's a major update people need to reflash their SD cards. Most of the changes that come with this update aren't things I care about so I figured I'd ask before switching over.

Apparently there is some kind of fix for exFAT file systems in regards to PortMaster so I may try that first. I'm relatively confident my system is running EXT4 though.

 

I'm about 30 hours into Fallout 76 so far and I'm surprised how much I am enjoying it. There's a lot of unique locations and creatures that make exploring fun. The MMO part of the game isn't super blatant outside of the microtransactions for skins and certain items. When I do come across other players it's usually because I stumbled into their camp and we just emote at each other a couple times before I move on. I don't think there is a way to actually talk with other players outside. I think there might be voice chat but I haven't tried it. The story seems pretty shallow though and mostly done through terminal entries and notes. I haven't really felt compelled to follow the main story line. I've been slowly working my way East then South doing miscellaneous quests along the way and exploring.

I'll probably play at least another 30 hours. I am not too sure how grindy late game quests will be. It costs caps to fast travel and they aren't as easy to come across as they are in Fallout 4 so if quests objectives have me wandering back and forth across long distances I've already explored I could see that getting tiring in a hurry for example.

The only bug I've come across was being unable to move sporadically in the over world and consistently being unable to move indoors. It turns out this was due to my high FPS and I needed to cap it using AMD Chill.

I do wonder what was added in the Wastelanders DLC and how the game was before it.

TL:DR I'd say it's worth picking up on sale and if you want to explore a bit. It doesn't feel as deep as other Fallout games but it's something.


Does anyone here want to play together? I'm on PC and mostly wandering around exploring but keep dumping most of my ammo into Sheepsquatchs. If you do want to play together shoot me a message and I'll give you my Steam ID.

 

I'm running into this more and more with BSD (Berkeley Software Distribution) and Bungo Stray Dogs.

I was wondering if anyone else has run into anything similar?

 

I was reading about the history of the paper clip and was thinking about butterfly-style paper clips and their history. Does anyone know when and where they were created or any other details?

I know novelty shaped paperclips are a thing but I've seen this design produced by different companies which makes me think it isn't a novelty thing.

When searching for it online I either get product pages or hair clips.

 

I'm going to start off by saying I would recommend watching The Gorge as blind as you can. The trailer doesn't spoil much but it does reveal the framework and direction of the story. If you like the 'vibe' or setting of Annihilation though you may like it.

If you don't mind a bit of a reveal this is what I mean by the last part:

spoilerBoth movies are about a quarantined area where mysteries lurk.

It's near-future sc-fi but leans a bit more into horror and action than Annihilation.


Here's what I liked and disliked about the movie (real spoilers):

spoilerI went into The Gorge after only seeing the movie poster so I thought it was going to be some kind of Cold War-style forbidden love movie. I was glad to see it evolve into something else.

What I liked the most was the setting and premise. A heavily defended remote and isolated area full of mutated mysterious creatures and plants where attacks are infrequent but when they happen they're in World War Z style is something I find neat. I feel like I see elements of this regularly in video games but less so in movies.

Once they were inside the gorge I would have liked to have seen the mutations as a bit more grand or awe inspiring like they appeared in Annihilation. Maybe a bit less humanoid. That might be a bit hard though considering how dark and foggy it was and how they immediately were trying to get out rather than explore.


 

Might seem like a silly question but I'm curious.

Maybe a movie with a lot of action or decent soundtrack for example

This is the same reason that you need to cook ground beef to a much higher temperature than you need to cook a steak, more surface area, more points of possible contamination.

I didn't know this.

If I raised my own chickens and treated them well would it be an issue to eat them raw? It kind of sounds a bit like a mad cow disease situation where it's more a byproduct of the industrialized nature of the industry

 

Disclaimer: I haven't eaten raw chicken. Not looking for Reddit quips telling me to go to an emergency room.

Was just wondering if salmonella is pretty much guaranteed when eating raw chicken or if it's something like 50/50 and an easy preventative measure like throwing out expired/damaged cans of food or washing fruits and vegetables before you eat them. I feel like I've seen a lot of people in TV shows and movies eating raw eggs.

I was watching Moral Orel's special Before Orel: Trust and thought it was pretty decent. It wasn't like some of the other post-cancellation or ending specials I've seen that seem like crowdfunded nostalgia cash-ins or like they could have been a "where are they now" voice over during the ending like The Sandlot, Stand by Me, or Fast Times at Ridgemont High had. I'm wondering what specials stood out to people. I'm not talking about shows that were cancelled and returned or spun off into another series. I was going to put best or worst in the title but a lot are just mediocre.

 

ROCKNIX is a continuation of JELOS and I have it installed on my RGB30 because ArkOS wasn't letting me enable WiFi. I want to use it as a dedicated PICO-8 machine and have it boot automatically into Splore, the PICO-8 cartridge browser, but I can't seem to find the setting to do this. Which seems strange considering how many modern firmwares have this.


I'm starting to think ROCKNIX doesn't have an option for this. I've clicked around the settings but haven't come across anything. I'd like appreciate it if someone could confirm my suspicion.

 

While it can play up to PSX I feel like the small screen size and cramped controls have pushed me to towards looking for RPGs on the NES, SNES, GB, and GBC.

I was wondering what else people have played on their smaller handhelds like RG Nano, Game Kiddy Pixel, or FunKey S.

I'd even be happy to hear about ROM hacks or homebrew. I've gotten a bit tired of vanilla Pokemon.

The NES homebrew of 2048 is my other go-to game. It can be played with one hand and is good for 5 to 30 minutes.


The photo is of my RG Nano and after about ~6 months in my work pants pocket with my keys. I'm surprised how well its held up considering I devolved into the mindset of it's better to use it and break it than have it in a case, in a backpack, where I'll never touch it.

Any idea what they might be?

Good point. I don't know how I didn't think of that

Definitely someone's kink
