Supposedly according to the reading material on the flash cart, yes? It seems like you just need the game file on the SD card and to put it in however cycling through multiple games on the cart is gonna be bad cause it looks like their isn’t a loader in-between but you need to eject the card and put it back in to cycle to the next game you have on it.
The R4 was the pinnacle of my gaming career. I had so much fun with that. I don’t think anything has come close to scratching the itch the same way. I think it meant a lot to me, too, because I got the DS for free (online, long story) and paid for the R4 chip with money from my first job.
I could be wrong, but I feel like the initial work of putting the system in recovery mode via tinfoil/modchip would still be required, but after that everything could run off the cartridge
I think that there is a massive gap between competitive sports (almost inherently toxic) and massively online games (juvenile masses combined with lack of moderation) and, for example, speed running and challenge games or tabletop and board gaming which are all likely to be more wholesome and positive even if there is a competitive angle.
There is probably more visibility on the first side. Maybe because that’s where the money is. And I very much agree that this was a nice story and I hope there will be more of this kind of inspiration shown in public.
That was a great watch. I love how the next step in competitive Tetris means the player will need to learn which moves won’t crash it so you can get to the final level. How cool.
Honestly, for me, the best part about this, is how excited the person they were competing against was for them. They didn’t care that they didn’t get it, they were happy for their competitor. That was awesome.
And then you might still get arrested for “impeding an investigation” and “failure to comply” even though your constitutional rights allow said non-compliance.
Then you get fired because you had to sit in jail until the charges are dropped, and suddenly your foodstamps agent audits you so you lose a week of access to food on top of it all!
I work with telecom cables. This happens when the cable isn’t rotated when hung. If it’s hung without any rotations the wind catches it and it’ll dance like this
This is most likely due to a differing tension between that span and the spans on either side of it. It has more “sag” (even if only fractionally different) therefore it is more susceptible to what I referenced above.
I assume that line is communication, and the tension on them is enormous. Did you happen to get a closer look at the spiralling on it? I can’t tell by this video if it’s armouring or a grip.
For what it’s worth: I counted about 85 or 86 “clicks” in 10 seconds. It’s a loud click followed by a quieter click, like as if it’s oscillating towards and away from you. The sound of the click itself is loudest at about 2.6 khz - whether that is simply the sound of friction, or some sort of electrical phenomenon, I don’t know.
The fuzzy area at the bottom half of the spectrogram is the dull roar of distant wind. The clicks themselves show up as spikes, and the intense colors on the right are from where the voice starts speaking. The dark band above 10K is just the data lost from audio compression.
Well, I can say definitively that I know what is making that clicking sound. It’s hard to see since the cable is in silhouette, but there are silver-colored spirals wound around the cable, and the sound is made by the plastic sheathing of the black cable wobbling inside of those metal spirals. The spirals are made of aluminum, I’m pretty sure. Those spirals are put there to stiffen the the hanging cable, and appear on the hanging cable between every set of poles (not just these, that are wiggling). There are two spirals mounted on each cable between the poles. I assume the spirals are mounted there to provide damping, just in case the wind does cause the cable hanging between the poles to swing too much. But, there was no wind blowing when I shot this video (Dec 5, 2023). The voice you hear is mine, just speculating on what might be causing the oscillating cable…
