    Looking for guideance on PS2 MIPS assembly

    Thanks for your response. What I'm decompiling is Sonic CD, which is part of Sonic Gems Collection. The reason it's C instead of C++ is because it is actually a port of the PC version created back in 1995 by Sega of Japan in collaboration with Intel. I didn't understand why it took two steps...

    Looking for guideance on PS2 MIPS assembly

    Hi everyone I'm decompiling a PS2 game by reading MIPS assembly and converting it to C, and would like some help with understanding some peculiar patterns I'm coming across. Most of it seems to be related to global variables. For example: lui v1,hi(actwk+256) addiu...

    Homebrew TWPatcher - DS(i) mode screen filters and patches

    The D-pad filter one. In this case, it means that the buttons can't be remapped without introducing latency. How much latency are we talking about?

    Homebrew TWPatcher - DS(i) mode screen filters and patches

    That's a reason I can get behind. :) I understand, but that patch wasn't checked in the list, yet it was still installed. That's what bugged me. I see, so the buttons are connected by hardware after all. Too bad.

    Homebrew TWPatcher - DS(i) mode screen filters and patches

    I'm trying to use native GBA mode. Just followed your instructions, and now it works! Thanks! I know the D-pad patch doesn't affect normal gameplay, but I prefer to not have a patch applied that I didn't choose. Is the routing really that direct? Surely there must be code somewhere that tells...

    Homebrew TWPatcher - DS(i) mode screen filters and patches

    I've tried to install this based on the installation instructions found on GameBrew, which are written for enabling widescreen. Specifically: -Placed TWPatch.3dsx in 3ds folder. -Launched TWPatch using the homebrew launcher. -Pressed Y+B to open the patch menu. -Toggled "Invert START+SELECT...

    Homebrew TWPatcher - DS(i) mode screen filters and patches

    Meanwhile, I'm still waiting for a patch that automatically shows my GBA and DSiWare games in pixel-perfect mode without having to hold Start or Select. Every. Single. Time. That I boot them up. It was proposed as an option in Luma, but was rejected in favor of more TWLBg research. Now that such...

    PS1/2 PS2* defeated - MechaPwn

    I'm aware that on a PAL 700xx you can't boot imports from the OSD. However, the disc will be mounted, and if I can bypass the logo check, the game should boot. It has been suggested that to do this, I should use wLaunchELF. However, I haven't found any option to boot a disc. The retail disc...

    ROM Hack How to extract image files from NDS games?

    The game (Phantasy Star 0) seems to use some custom compression, so I guess I'm out of luck.

    ROM Hack How to extract image files from NDS games?

    I think that what I need is under event/character. There are sets of three files there: a palette, tiles, and an unknown file with extension dscse. Using the latter as a map file doesn't work.

    ROM Hack How to extract image files from NDS games?

    After posting my previous message I tried the mirror link, and then I got to view the PDF version. :) The section about CrystalTile2 usage is very sparse. There are no actual usage instructions. Every guide talks about and shows a viewer, but I didn't have it. Then I figured out that it's...

    ROM Hack How to extract image files from NDS games?

    The game is Phantasy Star 0. I suspect the emulation bugs are due to software rendering, as this laptop doesn't have a dedicated graphics card. I've already tried to look at the guide, but download links are dead, and the links to the more detailed subguides like how to make use of...

    ROM Hack How to extract image files from NDS games?

    Going to piggyback on this as I have the same question, but for a different game, and the answer doesn't help me. The first thing I've tried is taking screenshots, but the emulators I've used (DeSmuME and melonDS) both have graphical glitches when displaying 2D graphics. DeSmuME's viewer is...

    Hacking 3DS NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

    I'm on 10.7. Yesterday I bought two 3DS games on the eShop, but downloading them failed. Looking for more information, it was what I suspected: it's related to 11.8's changed downloading authentication. How do I solve this problem? Update to 11.8? How do I do that safely? I'm one of the last...

    What's the point of "confirming" games you know will get released. Like Nintendo "confirming" a Zelda sequel. "We can't be sure Nintendo is working on a new Zelda game, or if a new Zelda game will ever be released, until they officially confirm it."
