If it is a cartoon, or even anime, I don’t mind between 720p and 1080p in most cases, but that is just about that.

I wonder if anybody in my town uses Lemmy lol.

Overwatch

Curiously both titles are dead nowadays, like literally dead.

I think he means Infinity War, and I agree.

The Nintendo Switch theme is the most boring shit I have ever seen in a recent handheld… At least it can be improved if you have it hacked… But 3DS were much better, anytime I open it up and the Phoenix Wright or Hotel Dusk BGM start to hit is the real deal!

Why would you think that?

I saw that place gained lots of popularity fairly recently… Mostly on Reddit.

Isn’t there a way to just host all those roms in a site where Nintendo has no jurisdiction?

Every time I see this news (Reddit or Lemmy) I see this kind of comment, but I wonder, what if I want to download just a ROM of a few mbs? I certainly don’t want to hoard the whole collection, as a torrent user I believe I can just pick up the file (if it isn’t zipped), but wouldn’t that be against the torrent’s moral code?

Ah, how to forget the first obstacle in my hobby self hosting projects, the damn CGNAT…

“Just open the wireguard port bruh”

No my friend, I don’t think that is gonna cut it.

(Thankfully Zerotier and Tailscale work for me).

I did the work first, then filled up my disks and moved to Stremio, no regrets, and yeah both solutions offer a better experience than Netflix, Prime Video, MAX, Disney+ and Star+ (which are the platforms I am have/once had.

I’d go back to Kodi I guess, or any app that supports my Real Debrid account, so far Stremio is the fastest solution.

I have a network monitor on my Shield TV all the time and I remember when I first tried it with Torrentio I could see my upload monitor having activity.

I started using it since I filled up my NAS and couldn’t keep hoarding stuff for my arr stack and Plex.

To be fair I always seed at least at a 2 ratio, and when I use Stremio (or Kodi) I use them through a Real Debrid account.

The library in my town is nothing fancy like the ones from the USA (just old old educational books and I got caught on some books of the first PC viruses lol), but hey, at least they had this gem.

It doesn’t right away (after a fresh reboot) but it fails eventually, as Kodi is my heaviest app, it could be due to my skin, but man, some ppl say Stremio is ugly, but Kodi with stock addon is way uglier that is not even pleasen to use, my skins aren’t the heaviest, Arctic Horizon 2 and Fuse.

It also could be because the Shield TV is my secondary Plex Server and that would bring some background load (even when it is not serving media), but I have done tests with and without this, same for the PlexKodiConnect addon.

I use Real Debrid with Stremio + Torrentio. I just need to figure out how to add the manual torrent search & download plugin for Real Debrid since I watch a lot of obscure British TV, not everything is hosted already.

If you mean caching content to RD I think you can do this with the Unchained app, if you use Android, or you can do it pretty much anywhere you like using the RD website.

Then you can use the DMM addon to watch it on Stremio, or probably it will show up with any addon that supports RD, or if not then you can simply use the Debrid manager that is available at Torrentio, or as a standalone addon.

Does it have trakt integration or similar equivalent?

It has a subpar integration, if you care too much about this kind of stuff (getting a whole working multimedia center, and thinkering in general) and have a proper device that can handle Kodi in a lagless manner, I’d say you stick with it.

If you want a set it and forget it kind of solution and have less sophisticated hardware Stremio + a Debrid provider is golden.

(My Nvidia Shield TV Pro 2019 struggles with Kodi and a Debrid/streaming setup, also is significantly slower than Stremio).

while still being able to use your own DNS/wireguard VPN/proxy…

Wait, I thought the “downside” of this app was that it used your VPN connection, compared to NextDNS or the built in DNS feature of Android.

I also use AdAway rooted version and not really looking into changing it, but if you could clarify about this I could happily see it as an alternative :)

Hmm, this is an interesting question, as I live in a 3rd world country it is hard to pinpoint exactly which event drove me to this beautiful world.

With that said, the first console that we ever had (sis and I) was a PS1, it came with Gran Turismo and DBZ Ultimate Battle 22, I think.

Anyway, I was probably 6 years old, and my dad took care of chip it (took it to a place, it is common to do that in Mexico) and then I got the pirated games for dirt cheap in flea markets and such, a similar event happened with the PS2.

But when I truly sailed the seas for myself, at least in a gaming scenario, happened when I got my Nintendo DS phat, I quickly knew about a R4, and managed myself to find ROM sites, homebrew, heck I used to use Windows Live Messenger in that little thing lol (DS Lite at that time).

I mean, I pirated software for PC and possibly burned some games for the PS1/PS2 before having the DS, but having unlimited portable fun with the DS (and then the PSP) was when I turned into a no return point.

Yep, nothing beats Sync, although the other existing apps are great, and have been great since the beginning if you ask me.

If you wanna know why I chose Sync instead of any other app is because the damn app can survive even the worse ROM you use and it doesn’t matter how atrocious your RAM management is, you are likely never gonna miss the position you left when you minimize and open other apps.

The app basically saves the state where you were and it is highly unlikely that you lose the track of it, even on aggressive RAM management ROMs like MIUI, it still stands better than the others, I experienced the same with Sync for Reddit.

Or AdAway, of any of your preferred DNS blocking methods.
