Single Board Computer with GTX 1650! Amazing performance!

by

A Single Board computer with a GTX 1650 Graphics card? Yep! And the performance is amazing. In this video, ETA Prime tests out the performance of a very powerful single board computer called the LattePanda Alpha but he also added a GTX 1650 video card using an M.2 to PCIe x4 adapter and a Pico Power supply to add power to the Board and the card. This thing is amazing!

Super Mario Maker 2 Proves the Angry Sun Never Had Mercy, Compassion, or a Soul.

by

The Angry Sun’s relentless urge to burn has been replaced by a robotic drive to obliterate all living things.

Nothing imprints on your mind quite like a scary moment from a game that’s not supposed to be scary. This is doubly true when you’re a soft kid who makes a point of staying away from media that’s gory or frightening. Nobody says “I’ll play a Super Mario game” because they enjoy the feeling of being hunted down by a fire-wrapped deity. But that’s pretty much how I felt when the Angry Sun made its first relentless assassination attempt against me.

DIY filament runout sensor + M600 colour changing

by

Filament runout detection is something I’ve gone without because I thought it would be harder to implement than it is. The truth is you can do it easily with printed parts and a microswitch worth less than a dollar. This guide takes you through printing, assembly, wiring and firmware setup to get filament runout detection working with a Marlin 3D printer. My Tevo Tornado was easy, as it has a MKS GenL mainboard.

The Ender 3 was a little trickier but ultimately I was able to get it compiled and working using the little known pin 29, retaining pin 27 for the BLtouch. As always, the limitations of the Melzi 1284P board arise but I have included a guide on what Marlin tweaks are needed to get it to compile. If you just want the mid print M600 colour change, then enable the nozzle park and advanced pause but not the filament runout.

PS Vita RetroArch Test Is it the Best Handheld For Emulation?

by

In this video I take a look at Emulation performance on the PS Vita, With the new 3.69 / 3.70 jailbreak from the flow all Play station Vitas can now be hacked to run homebrew and emulators like RetroArch and that’s what I’ll be testing in the video. Keep in mind that I am well aware that there are Standalone emulators that may run better than some of the cores in RetroArch but I love the all in one aspect of RA so I figured id test it out in my first PS vita video.
