Indeed still encrypted dumps
yes because sourcing dumps wouldn't get me banned
Are these downloadable dumps or just someone somewhere posted the decrypted headers?

I never said it was the odd one out only that the Wii U using a PPC CPU was somehow the most vile architecture one could develop for. As for the N64, if you think that the cartridge format helped the N64, I'd love to hear it. If it wasn't the limited media, what made the N64 so unsuccessful?
(Cons)-The controller. it started to fail after just a few weeks.
Separate storage carrts were needed to save a lot of games.

(Pros)-Starting games was instant compared to disc based games, also almost no loading times.
Games like Zelda, Banjo, Jet force gemini, DonkeyKong 64, etc would be really unplayable with loading screens for every section of the game if it were on a disc based system.
Remember even the GC versions had loading times.

Some games showed the competence of card based games.
Looking at Resident evil 2 ( full motion video cutscenes ), and conqer's bad furday ( with it's fully synced sung boss fights, and levels ( king turd )
This was all without major loading times and only possible on the N64.
Games cartridges are also virtually unbreakable.

Are they appropriate file size, if so I guess might be real, just seems a bit fast. But this whole thing has been like that, hasn't it?

Also, we might need to add releases back to the front page then huh ;)

I will let you know more when I can, I find myself away from a computer that can get me the info at the moment.

I might be able to sort out something like the 3DS one I do ;P

As for fast the people doing it might have been sitting on it a while just to make sure they were legit

Same was said about the Wii...

Source please
pretty sure the discs type that the WiiU used aren't available yet, please let me know where you plan to source these 25GB discs to burn the image too?
Oh wait it's completely different because it can use USB media meaning it has to have a loader, which we have seen NO proof of.

You are incorrect in your assumption; when they say USB and loader they mean you can select via a little LCD on the device itself (which the USB will probably plug into) and it will then trick the Wii U into thinking it has the equivalent disc loaded.
Some also have network menus (running a basic webserver is not that hard on an embedded system), some of the 360 ones also had a workaround involving pictures (you use the menu picture viewer and whatever picture gets loaded triggers the device to load up an appropriate disc image) and others were even more basic still.

That would be very big $$$$$$$$$$ but again that's a loader software for the device.

Even though it's unlikely to be fake I just want some information on the loader itself. Because it is all swell and dandy having a exploit and dumps but there's no loader (same as the 3DS).

Yeah currently with no games, I don't find it worth $200, and no one really should until it's proven to work after a big update. (and by then there will prob be 5 $50 or less Chinese copies)

and that's if nintendo dont find a method to block it
so the loader would only work on a system on the current firmware and with the current games
so that means you wouldn't have that much choice of games, they should of held off for a while so a good game database was established

If I delete my wifi internet settings on my Wii U, wouldn't that stop the automatic updates? It can't download firmware updates if there's no wifi access point to connect to.

lol wait until they realize the hardware is going to be over $100 so many kids being like MUST NOT UPDATE when they don't even have the cash to buy what they need
well if you look at it this way if its $100 that about a game and a half for all the games you want
but wake me when there is homebrew

    If you just want pi for emulation no point when Anbernic releases new shit every two seconds
    +1
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    What's really cool about Pi's tho is you can have multiple SD cards with different OS on each SD card and change from say a gaming machine to a full fledged pc if wanted
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Plus all bios are set up and usually includes at least 128gbs or 64
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah but if your main goal is just to play n64 and GameCube you can save about $50 and have the portability option
    +1
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    True, but on 2 monitors at 4k. Its just want you want really, to each they own.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    For a kids aspect Anbernic would be the better option they'd probably melt over the price on a good 4k display

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    For that texasroo guy, I'd recommend the Spell and speak as his first system.
    +1
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    So they buy a pi5 kit for about $150 and say a 28" 4k display probably looking around $400 total
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They'll be getting in the territory of portable Pcs anyway
    +1
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Again you get what you pay for, its like buying a S series for $300 but its only 1440p native, if you want true 4k, gotta get the X model for $500. But yea you right, when moms buying it anyways, you gotta stay cheap.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They could use HD out on their TV no real need for a monitor these days tbh the purists will disagree
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I'm kind of phasing out on the need for wanting all these consoles cool to have but they just become dust build ups
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I here ya there, I have too many myself, and have hard time letting them go, since most of mine I've modded at some point. Anymore I just play Switch on the go, seriesx at home.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    ack my throat
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I need to invest in some storage totes tbh
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Tots?
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Tootles
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Tootles? Wtf
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Oh tootles
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Oh totes , lol, like Tupperware storage, I gotcha
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I'm designing my own entertainment cabinet for my man cave, to store all my systems, then I'm also designing a power supply/HDMI switcher so I can switch to whichever system I want, and power it also. Already picked up the cabinet board, but tinkering with my drawings before start
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    But yea, I have frogger arcade cabinet that I gutted and put a Pi4 then Pi5 into, but it never gets played much anymore, should sell it. Even when the kids come over, they don't want to play on it, just the xbox. TMNT and Simpson's arcade is still so fun on it, esp w 2 players.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Gonna check out the new Garfield looks like garbage
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Can't wait to see the new "stick" that can actually play Ps3 or 360 games. I know they are getting close.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    @Xdqwerty didn't you see the new garfield?
