Safe hot air temperature for Switch modding?
Hi
I plan to do ram and eMMC upgrades on mine. The guides usually just show the process but not the settings on their hot air stations. What would be a safe value?
Thanks
Any interest in midi drum support for the first and latest game?
So I kind of want to build a device that will allow a midi drum to be connected to a switch or gamecube with a gameboy player. The only purpose of the device is to be used for the drum lessons of rhythm tengoku and the latest game. End result is you can use actual drums for the lessons.
It will be an all in one device with I guess some switches to select between gamecube and Switch mode since GC and USB both provide 5v.
Any interest? I'm not fully committed into making it tbh.
Free Trial Ensemble Stars DLC until August 17 on Fit Boxing 3 (Japanese version)
Apparently there's a free 2 song pack that is limited until Aug 17. You get to keep the songs even after Aug 17.

Still waiting for my other game from Japan to arrive before getting this for myself and the other recently released DLC.
Apex controller stopped working after running their firmware tool
Hi
So I upgraded my new Apex to a larger HDD. I then was installing the drivers and I ran the controller, F1-Apex-XBOX-TOOL-V311. Now the controller is no longer detected, keyboard mode light doesn't work and the tool does not detect it either.
Am I fucked?
Have limited options, X1 Pro 470 vs Apex 395 Standard
Hi
So my GPD Win Mini 2025 crapped out. I am looking for a replacement and unfortunately the local stores have more or less have abandoned handheld PCs that are not Steam. Like all stores have stopped stocking and seem to be trying to get rid of them. I also don't want to do IGG again as I got screwed over by GPD and got almost into trouble because they lied about the price.
The only options available are the X1 Pro 470 32GB and the Apex 395 48GB. The prices are very close at like $1750 (Apex) vs $1833 (X1 Pro). Those prices are inclusive of everything. I am leaning towards the Apex because of the detachable battery (fears about battery crapping out), better controller and better store warranty.
Which is the better item in your opinion? I just plan to play this on a bench or car. This would not be the main device for playing.
Although if I didn't mind the downgrade, I could go for an Ally X Xbox, as an alternative but from online sellers in next door countries (Alternatively MSI Claw A8 is there too but nothing else). My fear with OneXPlayer is that the controls are pretty bad. I had the original OneXPlayer and the DPAD was so bad.
Thank you
edit:
Would you also agree that the prices seem to be them trying to get rid of them?
edit 2:
Will probably lean towards Apex.
How was the Medalot DLC for Fit Boxing 3?
So there was another dlc japan only pack that came out last week. How was it?
For reference
What things do you know on retro games that you have not found on guides/internet?
So I will start, I found that the desperation moves in Blazing Tornado (arcade game) can be done on low health and mashing A and B during grab (not mentioned in the tutorial the game provides). The guides are for the tweaked Saturn version.
On Saturn, they give it away in the manual but it's a complicated per character sequence.
New Master Related Codes for BOF3
Hi
So I got bored and looked for new codes related to masters:
Have all masters recruited: (They appear on master list on camp and they act like they already were hired)
8014554E 0xFFFF
80145550 0xFFFF
Ryu level up modifiers:
801449EC AABB - A = HP, B = Nothing
801449EE AABB - A = Power, B = AP
801449F0 AABB - A = Agility, B = Defense
801449F2 AABB - A = Nothing B = Int
Note:Highest raised modifier stat is 127 = 0x7f, otherwise, it is negative
What I have learned
- Master modifier code is mostly useless outside level master was recruited. So it's mostly used for when you want to learn skills from another master without changing the level up modifiers. Otherwise, the already existing code from Gamefaqs is still better.
- Fahl does not act like a master (even with the cheat) probably until the Balio and Sunder events are done as he and Balio/Sunder are using other NPC's text if talked from the early game.
Other characters can probably be figured out by adjusting based on Ryu's code location
