How old?

That happened to my old Honda when gas tank silt started coming up in chunks. It’s been better since I had my gas tank scrubbed out.

There aren’t. I’ve read up on it, it seems to work really well. And the firmware is upgradable, so they will probably release updates occasionally.

FPGA systems aren’t like software emulators. The hardware itself emulates the original circuits, so the cartridges think they’re talking to original hardware.

Yes, that basically sums it up.

I haven’t handled one of those things myself, but they seem pretty excellent for total Game Boy replacements.

Depending on how much work you want to put in fixing up your old console, it might be worth considering one of those.

For example, you’ll want to replace all the OEM capacitors on your old motherboard. Even if the system works now, a modern screen will put a greater strain on the power circuit. So if the 30-year-old capacitors don’t get replaced, they could quickly start to fail.

Also, laminated screens need a full shell replacement.

So, including the capacitors, you’re talking about around $65 in parts.

If you’re comfortable working on small electronics, it makes sense to pay the $65. But if you’re not, the $99 becomes more appealing.

Most kits ship with screens that are a multiple of the original Game Boy resolution. So the displays aren’t distorted.

Look up Funnyplaying. They make some of the best kits on the market, I’ve used several of them myself.

Usually, some type of pun based on the hardware.

I picked up an X-Tronic Remarkable: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B084VC47VX

I wanted something simple and lightweight with digital temperature controls. It’s pretty modest, but it suits my needs.

99% of people who say they’re being “devil’s advocate” are actually, in fact, just being assholes

What’s the other 95.6% of it?

It’s the exact same thing, it’s an expression of entitlement.

When you call someone out, you’re attempting to degrade their position while making yourself seem superior.

Had you simply asked him about it, people wouldn’t be universally telling you that you’re the asshole here.

Clearly.

He blocked you, that seems like good work.

Who are you to accuse someone of failure?

What benefit is there to calling him out?

Calling him out his criticizing him. Full stop.

I don’t even know who he is, and I can tell he isn’t the issue.

You seem unable to recognize that you are not owed anything.

Anything he said is irrelevant.

Make sure everybody owns a a Nintendo DS, then load up Pictochat.

Sounds like a design oversight in the app. Probably worth reporting it as a bug.

In parts of the world, long numbers are separated using commas. In other parts, they use periods. You clearly use periods.

The app probably auto converts long period-segmented character strings into urls for user convenience. However, that interferes with users like you who post numbers.

It should, but only a frequencies and volumes that allow the hammer to vibrate correctly.

Use a soldering iron, not a mic. A mic won’t get hot enough.
