The real deal y0

I know what i did to the ps3, and i know what needs to be done. I barely use the ps3 so its fine for my case. The real fix can also be to redo the ihs so the solder doesnt crack or get damaged again because of heat. Also, ps3 also got a lot easier to debug with syscon, which was also only (relatively) recently descovered. Sure made debugging the ps3 easier haha. Ive left the connection available on my ps3 for future usage hehe

Ye no, ive have a ps3 that ylod which i reflowed back to life. After it was working again i started digging and the temps the core was reporting wasnt even close to the ihs that i measured with thermal couple. Also the thermal paste is on top of the ihs, not under it and it wasnt soldered in place. Early ps3’s did cook themselves. Less than 360 by a long shot, but they still did!
Also, side note, its funny how some 360’s rrod was not due to the heat issue but can also be caused by power supply failure or the plug being faulty. Thats how i got and fixed my 360 🤣 - Comment on Xbox 360/PS3/(to a lesser extent) Wii owners represent 4 days ago:
Ok so, let me set this all straight.
The wii had nothing to do with the gpu but with the die of the gpu that nintendo had designed and kept secret.
Inside the gpu die is both the gpu (hollywood) but also an arm core called starlet. It runs the security software and thats where (rarely but happened) things went wrong, as it was always running code, even in standby. This had nothing to do with ati.And the ps3 was not what you said. The ps3’s problem was that the ihs wasnt making a good enough contact to the core so the heat of the cpu didnt transfer well into the cooler. You can fix this, but is very tricky and is easy to permanently damage the ps3 in doing so ( you have to cut the silicon under the ihs without touching the die or the pcb, remove the silicon and do reattach it with less glue ). This could be contributed to the manufacturer i suppose

Game. Unreal 1 was an actual game and was before they sold the unreal engine. Where do you think the unreal comes from in unreal engine??

No, gta. Unreal is a dead game franchise

- Comment on Wii Homebrew Community "Built On Lies And Copyright Infringement" 5 weeks ago:
Ok so, i might be late to all this as i was helping with the damage control. But let me get some facts straight out in the open. Yes this is part of the damage control im doing, but its to battle a lot of misinformation out there. So, lets get into it.
First things first, marcan is wrong. Libogc ( the library homebrew is built upon )'s threading is not rtems. As youll see later, it was inspired by it, but not even close as to a copy paste or plagiarised when it was first made. Shagkur (the one who made lwp) is known to have created some stuff by looking at other stuff and writing code from the ideas. This was asked to shagkur when we were first made aware of the allegations 2 years ago Image
Dkp didnt make this public as they did not feel like it was necessary.
Its only now that marcan made a fuss about it and it blew up that we have to battle this.There is also the fact that libogc is 23 fucking years old. It was made by shagkur in 2003, before git or svn existed and before forums and social media was a thing. So you shouldnt put it up to todays standards either. On top of it, that was made for gamecube, not wii. Marcan was part of the migration to wii so he was part of it too.
I also want to point out that he shouldnt be making a fuss as his mini code, a code base what their bootmii and installer is build upon, contains code that looks very similar to ios, the nintendo code running on the security processor.
Anyway, there is more. Yes people have found similarities, but thats because of how things work, not because of copy pasta. I would like to redirect your attention to this blogpost and investigation by mardy : mardy.it/…/no-libogc-did-not-steal-rtems-code.htm…
Im not going to deny that parts of libogc are semi decompilations of the gamecube sdk. devkitPro didnt know this untill years after it had integrated libogc into its systems. But by then it was wildly used so there was no going back. Rewriting it would also not have been feasible to do alone. Hence the state it is in now. But as far as the new lwp allegations, its all false.

There ade still ways around it. Ive installed mine but didnt put it over the railing of the apartment. From the outside you dont see it unless you look for it, and from my perspective you loose some space. Yes it doesnt run as effectively because of shadows ( ~280W instead of the 400W ) but that still offsets my pc from my bill haha
- Comment on Framework Laptop 12 is now available for pre-order for €569 and up (but not in the US) 1 month ago:
Yes, but the products are manufactured and assbled in Taiwan and shipped to local warehouses across the world. They can easily decide to make, ship and sell the product across the globe but in the us. The ceo explained that they forsaw things like this when they started in 2019/2020 and therefore decided, back then, that they would take on this model to not fuck themselves incase trump would go haywire back then.
That has now saved their arses tbh
- Comment on Quantum mechanics might have the solution to joystick drift 1 month ago:
Im not saying i disagree, im saying its more complex than “just a few cents”.
- Comment on Quantum mechanics might have the solution to joystick drift 1 month ago:
Its not that i disagree with you, they should have used them and its pretty bad ( though a lot can be fixed with some good old wd40 for electronics lol)
However, its not a few cents more. Its way way more. A regular stick is around 1.84 - 2.73 euro a piece depending on how many you order from official components store. A hal sensor stick is often 2-4 euro.
Lets say 150mil switches are sold, each having 2 sticks. 150,000,000 * 0.40 = 60mil difference in cost for the company, at least, for using different sticks. And thats just sticks that come with the console, not separately sold controllers or pro controllers.
Manufacturing cost is very different than just ‘its a few cents more’.

See comment above. R7 7700, rx 6750 xt, 1080p
- Comment on Does Monster Hunter Wilds still look and feel like dog water? 2 months ago:
Is this from beta or benchmark tool? Big difference. I have framegen off because eeuw and play on 1080p
- Comment on Does Monster Hunter Wilds still look and feel like dog water? 2 months ago:
Wdym runs like shit. Been playing all day just fine…
… And on linux too…
- Comment on Does Monster Hunter Wilds still look and feel like dog water? 2 months ago:
Beta wasnt optimised at all and frame gen was broken in them which was funny. Full game is better optimised but still has some hickups. Id suggest to run the benchmark, which is free and is a lot more updated than the betas ( and runs better )
- Comment on Does Monster Hunter Wilds still look and feel like dog water? 2 months ago:
Playing on ultra on r7 7700 and 6750 ( 12GB ) and its running 43-60fps. They also released a high res texture pack but its recommended to only use with min 16GB of vram ( free dlc ) which i havent tested yet.
So try the benchmark and see. I think the medium settings should be fine
- Comment on Framework’s first desktop is a strange—but unique—mini ITX gaming PC 3 months ago:
I think the framework desktop would be an absolute powerhouse as a workstation desktops.
Think developers ( that still use desktops ), people who do raw computational power for science, servers, ai development, … - Comment on Framework’s first desktop is a strange—but unique—mini ITX gaming PC 3 months ago:
Fans, case, ports, side panel, …
Whatever you do with a pc, you can do with this.
Just not separately replace ram and cpu because of the cpu design of amd.Hell, it can be connected to another one to make on hell of a compute monster too.
- Comment on Framework’s first desktop is a strange—but unique—mini ITX gaming PC 3 months ago:
No, the pc is upgradable. They explicitly said in the event that the desktop was suppose to be an actual desktop with replaceable parts as much as technically possible
- Comment on PS5 Pro sales ‘have fallen behind PS4 Pro in the US 3 months ago:
Huh, i thought ps5 (pro) was 4k native, but looks like its via some hardware upscaler. Good to know hehe. That changes some things, but lets see. The ps5 pro gpu is equivalent to a rx 7700 xt, which is a 400 msrp card. In reality its way more, but lets work with msrp prices to give this the best chance of success.
Ps5 pro is 700$ msrp, so thats 300$ you have left for cpu, ram, ssd, case, and psu. I dont think you can do that, but lets look at the next part: cpu
Cpu is equivalent to a ryzen 7 3700x, which is an old cpu so is cheap atm, 120$.
Ok, 180$ left in the budget, next: motherboard.
I found a board on amazon for 65$, which was the ASRock A520M-HDV. 120$ left.
Ok so, ssd. Ps5 pro comes with a 2TB ssd. I found some sketchy, offbrand, m.2 ssd’s from brands i never even heard off for 94$. There is probably cheaper, but amazon’s website was being an arse and lets face it, how trustworthy or slow are those. 36$ left in budget.Thats 36 for ram, case and psu… As much as i hate to admit it, as a pc person, you cant make a pc with equal strength as ps5 pro and it sucks arse
- Comment on PS5 Pro sales ‘have fallen behind PS4 Pro in the US 3 months ago:
Not really. To have games in 4k and 30fps you need a gpu that is more than half the budget. And you dont even have a cpu, ram, mobo or even case.
Dont get me wrong btw, i will always pick pc because i do way way more than just gaming, but recommending pc for gaming is becoming really hard
