I think the big thing that people were talking about was that cloud syncs worked right now.

By all accounts on ProtonDB, Halo: The Master Chief Collection works just fine despite being ranked as Unsupported, with the caveat that the game's Easy Anti-Cheat doesn't work on Deck/Linux and therefore online multiplayer doesn't work.

Thanks for this! I'd wanted to get it, but passed when I saw unsupported.

I just remembered that I did have to boot into Desktop mode and delete an EAC-related file before it would work, but other than that I didn't need to set any custom compatibility options or do other tinkering:

For the game to work at all, you need to move or remove this file: "steamapps/common/Halo The Master Chief Collection/easyanticheat/easyanticheat_x64.so" Then launch using the "Play Halo: MCC Anti-Cheat Disabled (Mods and Limited Services)" option.


FYI Halo: MCC has been upgraded from Unsupported to Playable.

Thanks! And don't know if you've seen this:

The only emulation I was involved with is for Arcade games - I never got into console emulation, so it's interesting to see.

I installed CryoUtilities mostly to get better performance with emulation than with Steam games, which seems to have helped. :Thmbsup:

I haven't done any emulation. What kind of emulated games are you running?

I installed it- also going to go through installing my 1GB SD card and copying the files over then I'll install something to tax it.

I would guess Mouser/Jesse would prefer to see 10 programmers making 10 fresh/unique new programs here on DC rather than having them all creating different forms of the same tool

From my experience with him, I think it would be preferred that programmers do whatever appeals to them. Nothing has ever been really rigid or required in this framework as I've seen in my time here. That's one of the reason that I think it's such a cool place and thrives.

Yeah, I have a 1TB SD card I need to upgrade to, and after that, 1.5TB should be more than enough, I think LOL

Silly me.

I thought I was buying JSAUX’s transparent backplate for the Steam Deck for the bragging rights. Transparent gadgets are fun! But you know what’s cooler than seeing inside your Steam Deck? Having a Deck that runs cooler, too.

I’m happy to report that after spending $30 on my very own JSAUX PC0106 Transparent Back Plate for Steam Deck, my original skepticism didn’t pan out. Not only does it look great, its built-in aluminum heatsink actually does help manage the $400 handheld gaming PC’s heat. And at just eight Phillips-head screws and a little prying to pop off your original backplate, it’s an easy mod to do.

More at link. It seems like a good mod and an easy mod... but I'm still leery of hardware mods to my deck. I might try this one though.

I'm sure it is. It's not automated, so mouser has to do it. I'd PM him directly.

Twitter is centralized, made for easy access (get an account and post stuff). ActivityPub, including Mastodon, is more complicated, both during signup and during actual usage, especially since you can find everyone on Twitter, but not all ActivityPub instances talk to each other.

I registered on Mastodon when still virtually nobody except a few IT nerds was there. It’s quite good for IT rants. Sadly, the wave of Twitter users tries to turn it into just another political network. Ugh.

So you're just referring to implementation details rather than the idea? I can see that- the implementation is different on purpose. I don't think it's more complicated during signup nor vastly more complicated during use- you just have to be aware of instances.

Mastodon has an entirely different target audience (and technology) than Twitter. Just because it looks similar, it isn't similar. Too many people think otherwise.
Twitter has a special place in my heart. After all, my Twitter handle is (as my artist name) a part of my passport... :)
Why do you think it's not similar?

I'm trying to get the energy to do more to my Deck. I have a 1TB card sitting around and an adapter so I can copy everything over, but haven't even done that, let alone a lot of the other things I wanted to do. Just been playing games LOL

You might need to unpack it to a directory first- it looks like a packed exe.

Mmm really, Python does not require installation on Win10? How come when I install any IDE like PyCharm, Anaconda, they install Python at the same time?

https://sourceforge....cts/portable-python/
https://portablepython.com/download/
https://codefaq.org/...n-3-9-on-windows-10/
https://winpython.github.io/

All from just looking up portable python windows...

N.A.N.Y. 2023 / NANY 2023: Binance Test App
« Last post by wraith808 on January 01, 2023, 11:00 PM »
NANY 2023 Entry Information

Application Name Binance Test App
Short Description This utility is a start to satisfying a coding request for a Binance Notifier - testing the API. It allows you to see your balances, see all ticker prices, and query your orders
Supported OSes Any Windows version that supports .NET Framework 4.8 (tested on Windows 10/11)
Web Page to be added
Download Linkhttps://keybase.pub/...e/BinanceTestApp.zip
System Requirements.NET 4.8
Authorwraith808



Description
I started working on a tray notifier for Binance, but have been unable to test it as I've been unable to verify. I didn't want to release that without testing, so am releasing my initial POC app in its stead.

You will have to sign up for Binance, and get an API Id and secret key in order to use it. The application will also ask you for the API url - https://api.binance.us for US clients.

Installation
Unzip to the place of your choosing. If you want to make it completely portable, then you will need to add a BinanceTestTool.config text file, otherwise it will create it in the AppData folder.

Run BinanceTrayTool.exe (it's still named for the app it will hopefully one day be)


Uninstall

Remove the files! Other than the possible config file in the Appdata folder, it will make no other changes to your system.

Screenshots and Minimal Instructions

binance_Main_Screen.jpg
This is the main screen you will be presented with. Press the settings button to start


binance_Settings.jpg
In this screen you will enter your API Key, Secret Key and Endpoint

binance_in_Action.jpg

Then you should be able to use the functionality!
