EZFlashJr & FPGA Success Story

I got the EzFlashJr after getting tired of Goomba on my EverDrive GBA Pro and used it on my stock GB, GBP, GBL, GBC without issues. Save states, imported and exported saves from dumps, all worked fine. I was surprised when it just didn't work on the Chromatic I picked up second-hand. I saw a few posts mentioning booting issues but not sure I really found a documented solution. Also not sure if t...

First PC Build - Part List

I’ve been doing a lot of research over the last few weeks for my first gaming PC build. Looking at playing anything and everything at 1440p, and my budget is around $1700 USD (lower is better though, obviously). Live just a few hours away from a Micro Center, so CPU/mobo/ram bundle and GPU come from there. Pretty happy with what I have planned, but wanted to get feedback since this is my very fi...

What happens if Micro Center has an insane number of GPUs?

I noticed there is an insane amount of the more expensive RTX 5080 GPU stock at the local micro center. Sadly, I couldn't buy the Zotac AMP Extreme when it was in stock last week or earlier this week at $1229. What happens or what does Micro Center do if no one buys the more expensive 5080s and there is none of the cheaper 5080s to buy? https://preview.redd.it/fu1xkhp2xlyg1.png?width=865&...

$5k for 3D Modeling and Gaming

Looking to upgrade/replace a build from 8 years ago and ideally get another 8 years.

Would like to be able to run AAA games on the highest settings. Smaller case might be nice but not necessary. RGB lighting isn’t necessary. In the US near a Micro Cente...

2 close friends going to graduate with no internships. Are they cooked?

So basically am asking on behalf of my 2-day ones. One is graduating Comp Sci from a state school with zero internships and 0 work experience. Another is graduating from an online university in Cybersecurity with zero internships, though he has worked at the front desk for hospitals and dentists' offices during his time studying. To be blunt, it is sort of their fault that one has a doomer minds...

First pc build! Please let me know if I did anything wrong.

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/HGQVck $1500 is right around my budget. I haven’t decided on a monitor as of now, I wanted to get my pc specs before choosing. Anyway is this the best I can do with my budget? Also I do not live near a micro center and it’ll mostly be used for gaming. Open to any suggestions or ways to make it cheaper, thanks!
