u/Seledreams

I'm an indie dev with lots of interest in old hardware, whether it's old pcs, old consoles and old phones. I have the project to build a game engine working on win 9x-win xp pcs, consoles like the nintendo ds, gamecube, etc and potentially old phones running old opengl es versions.

So I'm looking potentially for some that provide access to a native C/C++ api with good debugging capabilities to help the development. with an open source homebrew sdk.

Do you have suggestions that would fit well ? I don't need it to be high in terms of specs since i want to build an optimised engine in the first place.

I often sell on other platforms in france like Leboncoin and vinted, but these platforms just handle the shipping price on their own depending on where the buyer lives, so as seller we pay nothing shipping wise, it's all automatically handled by the platform. however when we set a shipping method on ebay, instead of automatically defining the price based on where the buyer lives relative to the seller, it just asks us to set a flat shipping fee. But it is litterally impossible to set a flat shipping fee if I don't even know where the potential buyer even lives.

After all, depending on where the buyer lives, it can go from 15€ to over 80€ to ship. it changes a ton, i can't simply set like 30€ since, if the buyer lives close, it would make them overpay, and if they live far, it would litterally make me *lose* money.

So I'm confused, what am I even supposed to do here.

Right now i end up just activating national shipping with mondial relay since it's the only shipping method that ebay handles the price of on their own without much variation. but i'd like to be able to set international shipping. but i can't predict the price if i don't know the buyer in advance.

Hi.
I recently was able to import a Panasonic CF-Y8 from Japan, that I plannned to use as my retro development and visual novel machine.

However due to shipping via surface, the proxy service had to remove the battery as lithium batteries are banned via surface shipping.

I live in France, so i'm looking for an EU based option. Is there any battery that would work with this model ?

When I start writing code and i get a recommended function and press enter to autocomplete, zed has a tendency to complete it by filling the inside of the parentheses with placeholders like

I wonder if there is a setting that i can adjust to make it just do something like "gluPerspective()" letting me enter myself the parameters ?

because i always end up having to go back and erase what it auto filled which i find pretty slow.

I'm working on repairing a 9821nr15 that has some power issues. I was able to fix some of its issues but right now i need to fix a broken through hole trace of a capacitor, and i felt like a schematic would be very useful to have a better view of how each component interacts.

Is any schematic available ?

I disabled syscalls temporarily in order to sign into psn to check the ps store. But then when I tried to re-enable syscalls in the cobra settings i get the error "syscall 8 disabled". Is there a specific method to re-enable them ?

I'm on evilnat 4.93

I've lately been trying to install some stuff using Wine. I for instance just installed Vocaloid 6 and got it working with some tweaks, but one thing i noticed is that the installshield installers of the voicebanks actually don't install. Failing with an error 0x80040708.

I find it very strange since the installer of vocaloid6 itself IS an Installshield installer, and this one installed without trouble.

I looked around, and this error is related to a failure to create COM components.

Looking at the log, this is what is logged at the time of the error:

0104:err:shell:HCR_GetFolderAttributes should be called for simple PIDL's only!

Is there a known workaround for this kind of issue ? I tried various versions.Kron4ek 11.2, wine-ge-proton 8-26, caffe 9.7,soda 9.0-1, wine 10.0 none changed anything....

I recently was having some trouble running a game on GameHub lite, so i thought about going to support forums and getting help by sharing the logs for troubleshooting. But having some experience in development, I had the thought of checking the logs first, thinking maybe i could find the issue myself.
And oh boy, thank god i didn't share my log.

Here's what I found :

What this is, is the dream of any hacker. Users who on their own, post the tokens to their whole Steam account. Bypassing the need for any password or Steam Guard.
If you posted any log anywhere, delete it right now. if you have an issue, find the exact lines in the log related to your issue, and only post those. Never the steam login token.
For safety, if you posted your log anywhere, i recommend to logout of your account from gamehub/gamehub lite in order to invalidate the session id, but for extra safety, maybe even reset your password.

I did post an issue about it on the Gamehub Lite github for it to get fixed. The steam token shouldn't be anywhere near any file meant to be posted online for troubleshooting. it should be kept as secret as possible.I find it absolutely insane to see it in plain text in the logs...

EDIT:

According to The412Banner, developer of BannerHub, the tokens appear to be single use. However as this is only one report, i'd like to get more reports to be able to definitely confirm, as for something important like this, I prefer a "better safe than sorry" approach.

It would be good to get more reports in various cases, including people using Epic Games Store or GOG to verify all tokens logged by the app are unusable.

I recently won an auction of junk consoles on yahoo auctions for 11 bucks (ps2, ps1 and 3ds) as I like fixing up consoles, and when looking at the photos of the 3DS, I got a bit confused.

It's a white 3DS like many, but it actually doesn't seem to fit the pictures of white 3DS consoles I see online. With it having a black back plate and its joystick being white instead of gray.
Is it an existing edition ? I thought it maybe was a reshell, but it looks so beat up that to me it feels stock.

Hi,

I basically just setup bad avatar on my 360 so that it's directly installed on the 360's internal hard drive, so it boots on aurora everytime without a need to insert a usb.

It works fine, however my purchased and installed digital xbox store games don't appear in aurora.

Is there a specific way to make them appear ?
