Train at home with our wall mounted Cable Crossover Multi Height Adjustment Pulley Arms, Can Also be Set at any Width Apart 4 Chromed Olympic Bullhorns Wall. The lifter should really need to stretch out to the sides to grab handles to perform a cable cross-over exercise effectively instead of simply reaching straight behind them. In my opinion, if a lifter is simply pulling from the standard ends of a rack, they're really performing a cable press movement and not a "cross-over" movement. Some Power Racks have cable systems built in and the cable handles are the same width as the racks, which I don't think is wide enough to take full advantage of a cable "cross-over" exercise. Grab the left pulley with your right hand and the right pulley with your left hand, so your arms are crossed. By having the ends of my Cable Crossover setup extended out further from the rack, it means I can create an effective "crossover" movement instead of simply a "pressing" movement. Get on a cable crossover machine and set the pulleys at the highest point on each side. These ones for my Crossover setup are slightly longer at 40cm in length. All my Plate Holders have been "Custom-Made" or tweaked I should say, to be longer, in order to store extra weight plates. They're exactly the same ones I use at the back of my Power Rack. These plate holders would normally store olympic weights. The main adjustments was getting rid of the 7ft barbell and olympic plates that secured the old setup, and buying Bolt on Storage Plate Holders.

This might be due to the guide being a year old and a little outdated, though I'm not sure. Now, there were one or two lines of text that were different in the guide to how they appeared in the psx config file on my system. The Reddit guide explains how to change a couple of lines in the psx emulators.cfg so that the emulator behaves more predictably, and in this case, it solved my problem! Check the link here: It seems that when you install pcsx-rearmed onto your Pi, it doesn't seem to look in the right place for some necessary files by default. However, I did find a Reddit post (link below) from about a year ago by someone who was having their own (different) issues with getting the emulator to work. As I mentioned in my original post, there's surprisingly little written online about using pcsx-rearmed with a Pi Zero so information was pretty hard to find. Kite's SD image is pretty essential tbh, especially as I'm not adept enough to make my own tweaks to the original image.Īnyway, here's the solution I found. I'm pretty sure the Gameboy buttons wouldn't work either, and there's a bunch of other features optimised for use with Kite's board. Zeroboy, I did try the standard Retropie SD image with my Gameboy Zero just to see what would happen but unfortunately, it wouldn't boot up at all! Or at least, the screen doesn't display anything. I have found a solution! I'll share in just a second. Could there be one or two lines of code that might help? If anyone has any recommendations, or if you'd like to try this for yourself and see what you find, I'd really appreciate it! I've tried tweaking the video mode and framebuffer res for the emulator but haven't seen any difference so far, and I haven't had any luck. Maybe this emulator just doesn't work with a DPI screen. Maybe the Pi's looking for a HDMI connection that isn't there. Since completing the Gameboy build, I am now using Kite's most-up to-date variant of the Retropie SD image (SAIO 20170401-1) and the Pi is now connected to a 320-240 LCD screen through the SAIO board itself. For the working version, I had used a Retropie 4.2 SD card image taken from the official webpage, then the Pi was connected to a computer monitor via HDMI. I suspect it may be something to do with the display settings that seem to be causing it to crash, though I may be wrong. I've been trying all sorts of things to get this emulator working again as it did before but so far, no luck. At this point, the whole system is unresponsive, not even to the safe shutdown switch. Instead of booting up and running the chosen game, it displays a few screens of blue vertical lines before turning to a shade of green. HOWEVER, since completing my Gameboy Zero build using Kite's superb SAIO board, I am no longer able to run pcsx-rearmed on my Pi-Zero. (And despite the many online discussions about how to optimise lr-pcsx-rearmed for Pi Zero, hardly anyone seems to mention using pcsx-rearmed instead.) I don't know what it is about it being a standalone, non-libretro emulator, but from my own experience, it appears to be the superior PSX emulator on Raspberry Pi Zero. Note - I'm talking about pcsx-rearmed, which is available from the "optional packages" menu within Retropie Setup, and NOT lr-pcsx-rearmed which is the default PSX emulator that comes ready installed with Retropie. But after much blood, sweat and tears, I can confirm that the optional PCSX-Rearmed emulator does indeed appear to work well. Back when I first received my Raspberry Pi Zero, I racked my brains for hours trying to get it to run Playstation games without poor framerate and crackly sound. 12/31/2023 0 Comments Minecraft scenery shadersIt's also a shader pack that works well on lower-performance systems, even if it does lack many customization options. It still offers volumetric fog, custom skyboxes, and some truly gorgeous cloud effects, but it's not as in your face as some more modern alternatives. It's fairly subtle, having been designed to emulate the early shader packs that experienced Minecraft players may have already seen. Nostalgia Shadersįor a subtle adjustment to your usual Minecraft build, Nostalgia Shaders does the job well. Everything looks really nice with dynamic shadows, motion blur, and improved clouds, and that sense of familiarity as you wander around seeing how things have changed ever so slightly.īecause of its focus on being a slight improvement, it also tends to run well on lower-specced systems so it's ideal if your gaming rig is starting to creak. It makes regular Minecraft slightly nicer looking without being too excessive. If you want improved visuals without losing the traditional Minecraft style, look no further than Vanilla Plus. With its beautiful water that actually looks a lot like seawater, it's particularly good if you like to explore a world that's more oceanic than most. It never oversteps the mark though so you still get the clear Minecraft way of doing things - just slightly improved upon from before. That means photorealistic skyboxes along with great reflections and realistic water waves. The successor of KUDA-Shaders, a popular shader pack, projectLUMA focuses on providing great looks with low-performance costs without distracting players. It's those subtle signs of life that revolutionize the game's world. It's all a little less obvious than other shader packs but that's what makes it so appealing. Impressively, SEUS PTGI doesn't require an RTX graphics card to work. Continuing that trend, you also get glossy-looking rain, procedurally generated clouds, and a natural light that really adds to the feeling that the Minecraft world feels more alive than it did without these shaders. SEUS PTGI is the true highlight here with beautifully clear water to check out and see through. SEUSĪlso known as Sonic Ether's Unbelievable Shaders, SEUS comes in a few different shader packs to accommodate those needing less demanding shaders. Besides choosing between basic or vibrant shaders (go vibrant if you can), you can adjust a lot, adding volumetric lighting along with ambient occlusion and other satisfying details. That makes it a good option if your system isn't exactly fast but it's also fun to see how the tweaks can change things. However, it's also very easy to fine-tune. It looks gorgeous the moment you install it with fantastic lighting effects, beautiful reflections, and bloom too. Sildur's ShadersĮase of use is the biggest selling point for Sildur's Shaders. These include customizable clouds and water, bloom, depth of field, motion blur, real-time shadows, and a heap more. Reasonably realistic looking, you also get extensive options for tweaking. 12/31/2023 0 Comments Wireless headphones for guitar ampAfter turning the amplifier down, I quickly stashed several egg crates and pillows in front of it to solve this issue. When using the H&K Red Box, it is not necessary to replace an existing speaker load. In the following paragraphs, I’ll go over the specifics, which you can find in the quick summary I provided. Even if you don’t have a dedicated headphone output, a tube amplifier or an amplifier without one can work just as well. This feature can only be found in solid state preamps. headphone outputs are common in solid-state amps. In a case like this, you have a few options, though the simplest is to connect your signal to a USB audio interface. preamps, solid state amps, and multi-effects units are all used to provide headphone outputs. Finally, turn on the amp and adjust the volume to your desired level.Įlectric guitar headphones are excellent, but the way they are plugged into an amplifier will largely depend on the type and connections it provides. If your headphones have a separate left and right audio signal, make sure to plug them into the corresponding channels on the adapter. Then, plug the other end of the adapter into the input jack on the amp. To connect your headphones to a guitar amp with a 1/4-inch input jack, start by plugging the adapter into the headphone jack on your device. If your amp has this type of input, you’ll need to use an adapter to connect your headphones. However, some amps only have a 1/4-inch input jack, which is designed for use with a guitar cable. Most guitar amplifiers feature an auxiliary input that allows you to plug in an external audio source, such as a portable music player or a smartphone. 12/31/2023 0 Comments Oxygen not included wrangleThe ranch on the right, in particular, has free space and extra tiles for a few reservoirs, sieves, compost piles, etc. Both ranches are exactly 96 tiles, with a few spare tiles at the top if you want to add platforms for a few machines or move things around.

This means they may not be as breathable as other pairs on our list, like lululemon’s MicroPillow Compression Knee-High Running Socks, which have mesh accents for better airflow. While we like that these socks are moisture-wicking, we did find that our feet occasionally felt sweaty. And we love the reinforced heel, which has thick cushioning for a softer feel underfoot. We also like the band, which never rolled down or bunched up, even when we wore them for 12 hours at a time. We love how comfortably compressive these socks feel, offering 15 to 20 mmHg of moderate pressure. You can pick up a set of eight for a fraction of what other individual pairs on our list cost-and since the sets are so large, you’ll get plenty of wears in between loads of laundry. We found that they provided plenty of support, whether we were walking, sitting, or working out. If you’re shopping on a budget, CHARMKING’s compression socks have our vote. May not be as breathable as other options Key Specs: Compression: 20-30 mmHg | Material: Nylon, spandex | Length: Knee-high | Best for: Walking, standing, sitting, traveling, recovery Price at time of publication: $20 for 3 pairs But there aren’t any solid colors to choose from if bold patterns aren’t your style. And if you’re looking for stylish compression socks, we love that these come in fun prints. The price is on the lower end of the range on our list: Sets of three pairs start around $20, while a set of six pairs only costs a few dollars more. Plus, we found that they still looked like new after multiple washes. We didn’t experience any irritation while wearing them, even behind our knees (where many sock bands can cause chafing and discomfort). Made from a blend of nylon and spandex, these socks are silky smooth, breathable, and flexible-almost like a pair of tights or high-quality compression leggings. They were easy to put on, and we noticed that our legs felt significantly less tired after sitting, standing, and walking in them for hours. We love that they’re snug, but not too tight, with a higher pressure rating of 20 to 30 millimeters of mercury (mmHg) that felt like it was massaging our feet. Ultra-comfortable and supportive, LEVSOX’s Compression Socks are our top overall pick. If you’re unsure whether compression socks are right for you, consult with your healthcare provider before purchasing a pair. Avoid compression socks if you have severe peripheral artery disease (PAD) since they may overly restrict your blood flow. These are our favorite compression socks for boosting blood flow and relieving fatigue, whether you’re on your feet all day long or planted at a desk.Īlthough our experts confirmed that most people can wear compression socks on a regular basis, they aren’t for everyone. We also had a doctor of physical therapy from our Review Board review this article for medical accuracy, how to use compression socks, and the best way to evaluate them. Then, we rated each pair on a scale of 1 (would not recommend) to 5 (highly recommend) for fit, support, feel, and overall value. We wore them for one week, assessing how they fit, how much pressure they provided, and whether they helped relieve soreness, tingling, or swelling in our legs and feet.
