I live in Spain, and since temperatures are now reaching 39°C in my area, I ordered two AC units for the most used rooms in my house (living room and bedroom).

With installation it costed 1300€. A months salary basically. In my area the cheapest unit with installation was 450€, but it didn’t look very reliable.

I ordered it 11 days ago, and I’m scheduled to receive it and installed either this week or the next. AC installers are oversaturated with orders this time of the year. It’s insane.

That’s really weird… Have you reverted the Notification panel back to it’s original behaviour? I have it like that and it works same as it ever was.

Good to know that then! I’ll look for a MemCard PRO as others suggested when I eventually expand my setup to unify both of my MemoryCards.

As far as longevity goes, I have been using the same 8MB official MemoryCard from a launch PS2 my dad bought, with no issues ever. If you have a big collection of games you might run out of space eventually, but deleting save files is pretty easy in the system OS.

I bought a separate 8MB official MemoryCard to install FreeMCBoot on a few years back, but I haven’t used it to save any files. It should work the same, though, despite having the Homebrew on it.

If you live in Europe you can buy all sorts of MemoryCards at CeX, asking in the counter as they usually don’t display them. I guess anywhere else where they sell and buy second hand games they have MemoryCards too.

I haven’t tried any third party ones like MadCatz or the new MicroSD ones, maybe someone else can share their experience :)

I had this same issue with an LG OLED monitor. I’m not 100% sure this was the solution as it was long ago, but you need to NOT have the USB-C power cable connected to the dock, just the HDMI. Connect the Deck to the dock and you’ll get image. After this you can plug the dock back to the power cable.
