Re: playstation 2 vs switch sale.

It probably wasn't our fault. Unlike the GameCube, I don't remember a single year when it wasn't better to go to Paraguay, import officially or use the black market than to buy the version manufactured here. Most sales are in other countries, both directly and indirectly. The rest of the sales here ...

Re: Is my GC's Serial Port 2 damaged?!

Yes, read-only mode for that specific one, but I have a 64GB that I used for my dumps, and a 4GB from a Nokia E72 that totally died, I think it's because of using them with VirtualBox and not doing things properly when switching from host to virtual machine. I think my EZFlash JR's 2GB card is not ...

You meant read-only mode, right? I think it's easier for the camera to stop working than for the card to not be recognized. That's what I expect from my oldest working card in a Nokia C2-00.

Re: Is my GC's Serial Port 2 damaged?!

The 2GB SD card issue is real. I thought it was a problem and I'd have to return it. When I used the 200GB one, it worked without any problems. I'm wondering if it's a GameCube issue or the adapter. In any case, 2GB isn't an option these days. And I still had to troubleshoot the bad connection. I th...

Ralf can make a code that mute the 1-Up Extra Life jingle sound (example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6JZD21ayaWc) because it can get really annoying when using the infinite rings code. Or you can change the value of the rings so you don't get an extra life every time. Maybe 9 rings. If I unders...

It seems I cannot find cheat option in settings, and how can I apply cheats for retroarch, eg. with FBA core, how to apply cheats? It will take so much effort that it won't be worth it, in my opinion. You will have to decrypt the ROMs, inject the codes into ASM, encrypt them again and hope that no ...

Once again, it was a controller problem. Well, I think this is normal for something I've been using since 2008.

Rumble and analog stick work perfectly after the repairs. When the game supports these functions, of course.
