Pirating VR games

I am buying a VR Headset to play games. I don't know if I'll buy a standalone or PCVR headset, but if I were to buy a standalone like the Meta Quest 3, having the possiblity of connecting to PC is a must.

I was wondering though how can you actually play pirated VR games. Does it work the same way as normal games where you just execute it and that's it? I am asking mainly because of platforms like SteamVR, which some reviews on VR headsets I have watched make it seem like it is a mandatory thing to have if you want to play games, but playing pirated games is something else entirely.

How to fix Spiderman 2 PC Port from DODI cutscenes?

So I downloaded the new Spiderman 2 port from DODI. And while the gameplay is pretty good, the cutscenes just are making my eyes bleed.

Some characters start t-posing out of nowhere, the audio is out of sync, and they look really bad generally speaking. I have tried changing some settings, but still that doesn't seem to work. My PC has a i5-10400F and 6700xt The only thing I know could cause some issues is maybe that i'm running it on HDD. I can make some space on my normal SSD if there's no other way but I would like to try other things first.

Is there any way to fix this?

Redmi Note 10 5G not connecting to 5ghz wifi

Hey, I'm just having this problem which I don't know how to solve, for some reason on my main wifi the phone just won't connect to 5ghz.

In other wifis from friends and family it does, both when connecting to wifis which only have the main SSID and wifis which have 2.4ghz and 5ghz on different SSIDs.

For some reason, the only thing that seems to make it work is changing region to India, resetting wifi and then connecting, but this just gets annoying

I had heard that mediatek devices had network problems, but if it is happening just in some WiFis, what could the problem be?

Is there an explanation on to why does this happen? Is there any way to fix this? Has anyone experienced the same issues? I have custom ROM (EvolutionX unofficial) with magisk and root. But that is not related to the issue, as it happens in every ROM I have tried, and I can't remember if it happened back when I had MIUI installed.

Xiaomi 12t pro for mesos t'han 300€

I am looking to buy a phone that has very good performance and great camera. I have found the Xiaomi 12t pro for less than 300€, do you think it's a good purchase? Any phones you would recommend on that prixe range that are better?

I am mainly looking for hardware here, as if I don't like software I can just change it, but having a good os with good features is never bad.

Wallpaper and Styles crash with unofficial crdroid

Hey. I need help. I have installed an unofficial port of crdroid 10, android 14 on my Redmi Note 10 5G along with NikGapps Full.

But every time I open the wallpaper and Styles app, it crashes and gives me this error which seems to be related to some "weather class"?

On the maintainer's device and some other people it works perfectly,.as I have asked on the support group, but they can't seem to help me.

Does anyone understand what the crash log actually means? Is there anyway I can stop getting the error so that I can customize the phone fully?

Need help finding a controller for less than 50€
  • I just have one problem with the 8bitdo.

    If you go to the website, I can see it says "motion controls (switch only)" and I don't know if I should be worried about that considering I want to play emulated switch games ON PC

    EDIT: and about the variations, thanks for pointing that out, I was aware of the Ultimate C existed and I did supposed it was some sort of "lite" version. But thanks anyways

  • Need help finding a controller for less than 50€

    I am searching for a controller to play emulated switch games on my pc. My requirements are motion controls, good build quality and responsiveness, and preferably hall effect sticks to make the controller last longer avoiding drift.

    Some of the options I have: GameSir T4 Cyclone Pro - 47€ GameSir G4 Pro - 48€ 8bitdo Ultimate - 50€ GuliKit King Kong 2 - 5X€ GuliKit King Kong 2 Pro - 60€

    And are there any controllers for the sub 50€ price range which are better? All the ones I have mentioned are on that price on aliexpress, except for the GuliKit ones which are a bit higher but if they are REALLY worth it I might stretch a bit more...

    I found all of this options in the official aliexpress stores of those brands. Which have great prices compared to other stores.

    Phones better than Xiaomi Mi 11 for ~270€

    Hey. I want to buy a phone. My priorities are: camera >>>> performance >> battery

    I found the Mi 11 refurbished (excellent condition) for that price which I thing is VERY good for a phone that was a flagship and the camera seems to be EXCELLENT.

    Is there a better phone I can buy for that price? (Highest I can go is 250/300€) If possible, it should have custom ROM support (so probably Snapdragon cpu).

    I live in Spain. I recommend looking at prices in kimovil.

    Install custom ROM and camera without losing 108mp

    Hey. I am planning to buy the Xiaomi Mi 11, I found it for 300€ and I think there's just not a better phone for this price range, but software is a problem. I want to install a custom ROM and that obviously means losing access to official camera and the full 108mp mode.

    Is there a way to use this full quality on a gcam port? Maybe there's another camera app which has similar processing to the famous almighty processing if the google camera but that allows me to shoot in 108mp (if I want). Also recording in 8K 30 frames and 4K 60 frames won't be a problem right?

    Buying china only phones
  • I will install custom ROM anyways. MIUI is trash. So that's not an issue, I doubt they exist yet but once this phone comes into western market (if it ever does) I will obviously install pixel experience of maybe even graphene (with google).

    EDIT: Also, I know a Pixel 7 Pro would probably be much better. But 250€ for those specs if just awesome. That's my budgets so the better phone I can get with that price the better, and I don't know what to get for that price.

  • Buying china only phones

    Hey. I was just looking for curiosity the official china xiaomi store. And I saw the Redmi Note 13 Pro+, it seems to be a great phone with 12gb of RAM and 512GB of storage, 200MP camera (I know that doesn't determine how good the photos will be) for just 2099 yuans which is approximately 250€, and I was wondering, is it even possible to buy this china only phones for such a great price and import them to europe?

    The Redmi Note 13 Pro+ is actually more "westernized" than the rest of the K70 series (the name that it recieves in china) as it even has a western name and I swear I have seen youtube channels who have this phone. (Though if this is doable and someone wants to try, if you look at the K70 Pro you will see an option for 24GB of RAM and 1TB of storage for 4099 yuans which is an amazing price for those specs).

    I know aliexpress exists and I was able to find the phone but for prices a bit higher and the best price I was able to find was on alibaba for around 210€, I would consider buying on aliexpress but unless someone convinces me of the contrary I wouldn't buy on Alibaba.

    Need help installing custom ROM
  • But then the boot.img is recovery? I just flash it and then sideload the .zip file? Just understand I don't want to lose my phone and it's the first time I do this i'm a bit nervous.

  • Need help installing custom ROM
  • Hey sorry to bother you again. I was doing the process now, and just to make sure. The Pixel Experience recovery I need to install, are you sure it's the boot.img? I was seeing some tutorials before and I see that boot.img and recovery.img are different files. What should I do? The ROM you provided doesn't have a recovery.img

    EDIT: I don't know, I find a lot of inconsistencies between the build on github and the tutorial. It doesn't tell me anything about the boot.img, my device has a/b partitios so I don't know what I have to flash. I think i'll just try with xiaomitool v2

  • Auto-CreamAPI for Shinobi Strikers (EAC)
  • Ok thank. In this case the DLCs are just for unlocking some things which you (in certain cases) and other people who already unlocked them can already use them (it's multiplayer). It's not some "expansion* type dlc. So I guess I don't need to install them separately anyways.

    Also, I just realized this. It seems with GreenLuma you can also download games. One of the problems of downloading cracked software is that you can't play multiplayer in most of them, if I were to add them through GreenLuma, would I be able to?

  • Auto-CreamAPI for Shinobi Strikers (EAC)
  • I see, seems like an option. Though there seems there's multiple ways of installation? Which one should I do?

    And what actually is GreenLuma? It's interesting. How does it work? How do I use it?

    EDIT: Also, while looking at some tutorials I saw that you need the game files to install things. Does that also happen with the DLCs? I have looked through csrinru but I can't find any clean files, only a cracked version.

  • Auto-CreamAPI for Shinobi Strikers (EAC)

    Hey, I am trying to unlock DLCs for NtB:Shinobi Strikers which has Easy Anti Cheat.

    I followed the steps for unlocking listed in AutoCreamApi in csrinru. But when launching the game I get an EAC error telling something of unrecognized dll and essentially doesn't let me boot up the game. Also the DLCs don't appear in the Steam Page so I guess I did something wrong? Or maybe EAC will just not let me? I tried with the "bypassing game-specific protection" option ticked but still doesn't work.

    Any ideas how to bypass this? Did I do sth wrong?

    Need help installing custom ROM
  • Thaank you. Hey, I noticed in the instruction that it talks about installing the Pixel Experience custom recovery. Where can I find this for my phone? And how does it work? Is it like TWRP / OrangeFox but specifically for PE?

    EDIT: I noticed, I guess that it must be the boot.img on the github right?

  • Need help installing custom ROM
  • This is not my phone.

    "Camellia/n" are the. POCO M3 PRO and my phone. That is the citrus. I think it even has a different processor, unfortunately pixel experience is not available officially. I could go with unofficial but I'm scared I won't get security updates and stuff

  • Need help installing custom ROM

    Currently I have a Redmi Note 10 5G (codename camellia/n)

    This is a very low end smartphone. And a very important problem has to do with it. MIUI is not great. I just don't like the optimizations they do by just killing any process I have in the background ruining the experience of use. And it falls behind others when it comes to personalization which is very important to me.

    I want to install crdroid which is one of the few roms which are available for my device (at least officially). But I have many problems.

    First, I need to do all of this without root and without any custom recovery as my phone doesn't support any. I am going to install the ROM through Xiaomitool V2 because it makes the process a lot more intuitive and easy at least for me. (I have absolute 0 knowledge on adb).

    Then there's Gapps, I need to flash them as I rely on them a lot and I also need it so I can restore the google one backup once I install the ROM. But without a custom recovery I have no idea how to do it.

    Last, please give detailed instructions. I have no idea how adb (which I suppose is the only way to do what I'm trying) commands work, what each of them does etc

    Sorry for the long text and thank you.

    Installing custom roms over MIUI

    I currently have a Redmi note 10 5G. It has 4gb + 3gb of RAM (RAM extension feature) which is not even that bad.

    But still for some reason my system just feels bad in general. Apps just stop working when in background which is really annoying when I need to multitask. I have seen phones with the same ram as mine (less if you the 3gb from memory extension) which just work so much better. And I am begging to think it must be something about MIUI.

    Will that get any better once Hyper OS comes around? Or do you think I should just install a custom ROM? If the second option is the best, what should I install now that custom roms are not so popular? Also os there any way to install other OSs? I for example like how Huawei's Harmony OS looks, is it even possible?

    What do you think about Huawei Harmony OS
  • I don't mean you have to buy Huawei products. I just mean I liked how the OS looks. I haven't even tried it and probably will never. For me customization is very important, I just love to change my phones layout colors and homscreen every now and then and just mess with how the phone's esthetic can change. That's what I meant about the launchers and widgets, it's just something I love.

    I obviously won't buy a phone just because it's very customizable. But when picking something like a OS or ROM it's certainly a point to consider for me at least.

  • What do you think about Huawei Harmony OS
  • Chinese spyware? Certainly didn't know that... I that the reason they were banned from US?

    Apart from that, I just don't really want to free myself from Google, Microsoft etc. I still depend a lot on their software and products, and privacy to that extent, while it's certainly not good, I personally don't mind it.

    I respect that some people are more careful about their privacy, that's how it SHOULD be for everyone. Unfortunately I still need and want to use their products, so I find it obvious they want something in return. The worst it can do to you is show you personalized ads... Or at least I think so.

  • What do you think about Huawei Harmony OS
  • Well, yes, I have never tried any Huawei phones myself. So I don't have an opinion on how their phones are. But this OS really seemed cool to me when I saw it. Idk how much time has it been active, maybe I'm a bit late?

  • What do you think about Huawei Harmony OS

    I recently saw mrwhosetheboss's video on banned (in us) banned Huawei products. And I really liked the os the phones had.

    In my opinion, the animations were really cool. The customization seemed really nice, specially on the widgets aspects. And thought when using phones it is not something I really look into, I found the whole ecosystem part really good and for some people I think it would be perfect.

    What are your thoughts? Do you think it's better than stock android / pixel launcher (which I've heard people say is the best option as for now, and thought I haven't tried it yet I think it probably is)?

    Also I don't know if harmony os is installable on other Androids. Would it be worth it? Or you would stick with custom ROM like Pixel Experience?

    I want to see what you think!

    What is the best office / microsoft 365 version to download to activate with MAS?

    With the new (not so now but relatively) copilot announcement. I surely want to have my Microsoft 365 with all my features possible.

    What product should I download (options should be from MAS's office download website) to have the MOST FEATURES, I don't mind it being lightweight or anything, I just want all the features possible. Thanks in advance

    Icons disappearing after rebooting?

    I am currently using Xiaomi MIUI 14. But I dont know if this is a global problem or just of MIUI.

    When rebooting, some of the icons in my homescreen just disappear. I have to update the homescreen again (for example, activating and deactivating Ultra Battery Saver) for them to show up. Why does this happen?

    Is webtor.io (or similars) the free and reliable way of torrenting I always wanted?

    Just that, I found this web while looking on FMHY and this seems to be the perfect torrenting tool. Is it really?

    It seems to have no GB cap though it has speed-cap but it is not that important. And most importantly it is free

    My game crashes and I have no idea why.

    I get this error in the crash report. I suspect this is mod-related as it started happening long time ago when I was still playing version 1.6 and using vortex. Then I uninstalled the mods as I wanted to play without them and this happens every time I press SPACE after the loading screen when clicking continue.

    I hoped that reinstalling to install 2.0 would help, but it doesn't. Does someone know why?

    ``` Error reason: Unhandled exception Expression: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xC0000005) Message: The thread attempted to read inaccessible data at 0x10. File: (0)

    ```

    UPDATE: Creating a new save file seems to solve it. At least for now. Maybe my safe is corrupted?

    How to install gcam on any android

    I've heard that gcam is just better than all the stock apps on android phones. I have MIUI stock camera and I hate it, at least on my phone, it feels like "laggy" and just doesn't work well.

    As it is not on the play store (at least in Spain, where I live) is ther any way to install it? Maybe something like a port to other android devices as I thinks the gcam app only works on Pixel Phones.

    Last of all, no, I don't want to go install the pixel experience custom rom as I already have a lot of things in my phone and don't want to lose my things. Though I will definitely if I ever get a new phone.

    Every modded apk I install crashes

    I've tried every web on the megathread to download modded mobile games but for some reason it doesn't matter where do I download from they just crash. For example, I have downloaded a game from revdl and it works perfectly, but if I download the same exact version but modded it crashes. Maybe it has to do with MIUI? I have no idea, I used to install games from an app called happy mod and they worked nice.
