Hi, I have had two transfer paks since I was 6 years old. As you can imagine they have been through a lot and while they look fine, they are failing to read my carts or error coding when they do.

How should I address this?

They have been dropped more then I can count, they have never been submerged in water though.

Hi, I don't have the space for a SNES and im using real cartridges, I was wondering is there a reshell of the SGB for N64 or something I can do in software / hardware that runs well.

I'm using an analogue 3D.

Hi, so things are not scaling quite right, and i want to do fresh firmware install as they seemed fine an hour ago even settings are missing. Like integer+ is acting like the largest overscan, and the menus sometimes ignore my input.

Hello, was just wondering for fun, and trying to get SGB working with the transfer pak.

Hi, the app is not supported on linux and never will be. Its not a deal breaker by any means as I love Bazzite, but I would like to hear some ideas how how to get it working as I wanna use it for virtual boy with PC retroarch as I have shaders.

I had bought it just before i switched OS to linux. Windows 11 woke up one day and said I hate your hardware.

Hi so I'm setting up a raspberry pi 3B and I just installed recall box and my input is not working even though the controller is detected as an Xbox 360 controller.

I'm also having this issue with batocera, but not lakka.

Hi, so i got an x5 with pokemon yellow on it as my og copy battery can go any day. Thanks.

Hello I fractured my elbow head yesterday and I'm looking for a game recommendations

My left arm is fine that's my dominant hand as well

I fell walking my dog, she cut me off and I tripped. Anyways anything will help thanks

Hi, so I have a quest 2 but love the comfort of the psvr1, I was wondering if I could combine the best of both on Linux. Thanks.

Hi, im working on Neopets Mini my Petpage and I have Kreludor up and running but the 2005 image is missing from the server.

I need a Neopets url version to replace it as I'm trying to avoid third party hosting as places like Imgur are blocked in some regions.

I did try using the JellyNeo version as they are pretty reliable but its a no go on petpages. :)

Hi, so I have had the quest 2 since 2020 and the battery is showing its age.

I got a Bobo VR headstrap with the battery pack and while it helps, I wish I could make the headset wired like the PSVR1 as I play it a lot more.

Any tips, as I am getting tired of needing to charge the headset every time I wanna use it.

Hi, so I got a psvr 1 this year and I love it. Is it possible to modify a quest 2 to be similar?

Lighter weight, no battery and enough juice to function from being plugged in.

This is way above my skill set but I like to hear your thoughts.

Hello so a bit ago I made a tutorial on how to add emulated games directly Cartridges, this is my follow up on how to do the same for Steam.

This guide already assumes you know how directories work, let's begin!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Windows Instructions

1. Add Retroarch (Standalone / Itch) or your emulator of choice as a Non-Steam game.
2. Go to the directories where you keep your files and your emulators stored.
3. With those directories open in file explorer fill out the following sample with your directories in a text editor like Notepad

Standalone Emulator
"gamefolder\gamename.fileextension"

Retroarch
--libretro RetroarchInstallDirectory\cores\corename_libretro.dll --fullscreen "gamefolder\gamename.fileextension"

4. With these samples complete add them as a launch command to your non-steam emulator.
   --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Linux Instructions - Binary

1. Add Retroarch (Appimage) or your emulator of choice as a Non-Steam game.
2. Go to the directories where you keep your files and your emulators stored.
3. With those directories open in a file manager fill out the following sample with your directories in a text editor of your choice.

Standalone Emulator
"gamefolder/gamename.fileextension"

Retroarch
--libretro RetroarchInstallDirectory/cores/corename_libretro.so --fullscreen "gamefolder/gamename.fileextension"

NOTE: So Retroarch Appimage for some reason doesn't like to launch my fully functional code, if it was a Binary it would work out of the box. If anyone knows how to fix it let me know.

Hi, so I have Gopher 64 and the older Simple 64 setup on linux. I noticed Gopher is lagging outside of say Pokemon Stadium when a lot of stuff is rendering, and I mean real lag as I grew up with the console. Any suggestions for a fix. Here are my specs. Thanks!

Hello, I noticed there was no online guide to explain the differences between using Shaders and Core Options for graphical effects, so I made this guide to help.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What are Shaders? - Beginners Guide

• Shaders are graphical effects you can use on emulators inside Retroarch. Things like CRT effects, color correction, interframe blending and even enhancements like putting monochrome handhelds in color.

What are Core Options?

• Core options are settings included with the core itself, it can be nothing, performance settings, graphical settings, graphical effects and general enhancements.

These two are different but can have overlap, here is a feature set of each below. To get the best experience one should use them both as needed.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Features Shaders

• Lots of options with new ones being made all the time.
• Consistently available across all cores
• While many are light, just as many are too much for low-end devices.

Features of Core Options

• They are built into the core, meaning they are quick to find.
• They are build specifically for that core, meaning results can be tailored.
• Changes are per core, so 2 identical systems have their own settings.
• It's great for Retroarch builds without shader support and may be more efficient.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Example 1 - Sega Genesis / Mega Drive (Genesis Plus GX)

• With the Genesis, let's say you want to add composite dithering for more color and transparency.

Example Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmOFjgWY1ik
Detailed Explanation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0weL5XDpPs

• This can be done with the Blargg ntsc Shader or the Blargg composite Core Option with this core.

In the case of this core, I will always use the video core option first before the Shader, its a lot lighter weight than the shader and is tuned specifically for the console.

The Blargg Shader looks a bit off in screenshots as its effect is done differently than the core option.

Example 2 - Game Boy Color (Gambatte)

• Depending on the core I picked I will use the core option or the shader.
• I used GBC-Color shader from the handheld folder with the parameters reduced by 50%.
• With handhelds its important to know which model your striving for.
• In this sample I was going for the original GBC instead of say the multiple GBA models.
• Here's a post thats more indepth on what interframe blending is as it's hard to screenshot.

This is just the tip of the iceberg for both shaders and core options, always checkout both!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How to Set / Save Shaders & Core Options

Shaders
Quick Menu -> Shaders -> Set it -> Manage Presets -> Save Core Override

Core Options
Quick Menu -> Core Options -> Set them -> Your done

Also, Core Options can be saved as overrides under "Manage Core Options" but its 100% optional.

I hope you found this guide useful, thanks for reading!
