    All in one solution to translate Japanese manga?

    I found some old untranslated manga that I saved in the hope that one day I would either learn Japanese to figure out what it’s talking about or rely on machine translation in the future to get a rough translation. So far I found that pointing a camera with Google translate can help a little...

    Gaming Recommended controller for Dolphin emulator?

    What is your recommended controller set up? I'm testing with a wired Xbox 360 controller and unsure if it's worth the effort in getting the Wii U Gamecube adapter or trying and get Bluetooth working and use a Switch Pro controller.

    Hardware Recommended retro laptop?

    Long story short, I have several Gameboy flashcards but they all need parallel ports to write games to them and instead of trying to get it to work on Windows 10, I might just grab a cheap 98/XP laptop. Does anyone have any recommendations that not only has a parallel port but also quite...

    PS1/2 Worth updating my PS2 HDD loader setup?

    It must've been over 5 years ago when I decided to buy the HDD adapter for my phat PS2 and a 500gb IDE HDD but I used Free MCboot to get HDLoader running and 99% of the games I wanted to play actually ran without any problems. Of course that was 5 years ago and so far, I see OPL as the latest...

    GCN Updating a modded Gamecube that has Viper Extreme?

    I recently dug out my modded Gamecube which has a Viper Extreme installed on it. Unfortunately one of the reasons why I remember not liking this device is that even with a full size DVD case and tweaking the laser, it's still picky about the DVD I use to burn the ISOs. I heard good things about...

    Hardware Possible to turn a hardmod back to stock?

    Bought a faulty original 3DS console and found that it had been hard modded as shown in the picture near the headphone socket. Unfortunately the console does not include any additional cables to plug into that white socket and I don't have any skills to make my own one. Even if I do desolder...

    Hacking Am I better off hacking my 360 myself or buying one already hacked?

    For a long time, I was put off hacking my 360 because it seems to depend on getting the right console, right dashboard and still needing to purchase equipment so I put it off and just ended up buying the games second hand. Now I feel like I want to try again with the main reason being I want to...

    Hardware Mechanical keyboards or something else?

    After 2 years, the leg on my cheap logitech keyboard broke and started to lag a lot when I try to type with it. I'm now looking into spending a little more for the sake of quality. So far I played about with some of the "gaming keyboards" in my local electrical store and while I enjoyed the...

    Gaming Possible to create folders for multiple Gamecube games quickly?

    Just wondering if there's such a thing as a .bat or something similiar where I highlight over a hundred Gamecube ISOs and it creates a folder with the name of the ISO and then names them as game.iso or should I just man up and just do it all manually myself?

    Hardware Is it worth buying this faulty Switch console?

    Saw a boxed Nintendo Switch for sale for a little over £100. The fault is that it's stuck on the pairing the joycon screen. In theory I could just buy the replacement joycons and have a working one again but a part of me is worried that it might be the actual "tablet" part that's at fault so is...

    Hardware Advice for removing metal hinge from 3DS XL?

    I've got two faulty 3DS XLs that I want to fix and in the past, the biggest problem I have is removing the metal hinge part. Apparently I need a very thin but very strong screwdriver to push that hinge part and separate the two cases apart but the last time I did that many months ago, I just end...

    Hardware 3DS XL not opening any apps

    Bought a super cheap faulty 3DS XL where it all turns on without any problems but the moment I try to boot a cart, select the system settings, create a Mii etc, it just hangs on the Nintendo 3DS logo and then I have to press and hold the power button. It won't let me force update it by pressing...

    Do you allow younger relatives play older rated games?

    A situation has occured where I had to look after my 10 year cousin while his parents were called away to an emergency. Obviously video games was the main time killer but after trying all the Nintendo games like Mario Kart/Smash Bros/Zelda, he started bugging me to try the older rated games in...

    Hardware Trying to convert demo kiosk o3DS console into normal console

    Was given a faulty o3DS console and found that it ONLY turns on when you plug in a power cable. Having a look at the play history, I realised that with 9999 hours of Pilotwings Demo, I think it's safe to say that it was a demo kiosk 3DS that wasn't needed anymore. Anyway, it boots to the home...

    Hardware Bought a botched CFW install 3DS

    I bought a faulty 3DS console but when I turn it on, instead of it making a popping noise and then shutting down, it turns on and then the blue light slowly turns off. Took a gamble and assumed that it must be the result of a CFW install that didn't go well. I copied arm9loaderhax.bin from the...

    Hardware Does the 3DS and 3DS XL share the same WiFi card?

    I repaired a faulty 3DS XL last year which had a problem with the Wifi card causing the console to display an error message almost every time. That was fixed by ordering a new Wifi card. This year, I bought another faulty 3DS XL with the same wifi problem but I was wondering if the 3DS's Wifi...

    Hardware Newbie with questions about purchasing an older iMac

    My parents have been dropping unsubtle hints about wanting an iMac but seeing the price of a brand new 2015 model kept putting them off. I keep seeing the 2011 models for sale now and again which on the second hand market is actually not too bad pricewise but I have some questions. Since it's a...

    Hardware PS4 Pro still overheating?

    With Persona 5 coming out next month, I figured it's a good time to jump onto the PS4. With a choice between the Slim, a second hand PS4 original or the PS4 Pro, I was wondering if the Pro still had the overheating problem that was widely reported or if that was just an isolated case? Or should...

    Android Updating a rooted Samsung Tab A question

    I bought a Samsung Tab A a few weeks ago and then rooted via Odin to install adblockers. Now I found out that a new update has been released for my tablet and I wanted to double check and make sure that if I wanted to install that update via Odin, will I keep all my data or will it format it...

    Gaming System transfer question

    I've been collecting some junked 3DS/2DS consoles and over time I discovered that some of them have the pre-installed games and no NNID on them. I was wondering what's the process in getting the pre-installed games from the 3DS/2DS to my 3DS XL which also happens to have a NNID on it without...

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:

    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
