    Homebrew HzMod - old3DS screen streaming

    I just downloaded them from the OP in this thread (first applying the AIO pack, then the "new3DS-only update"); is there a newer build than what's here? I looked back a number of pages and didn't see anything, though I could just be blind. I *think* Mirai is the only game I've tried where it's...

    Homebrew HzMod - old3DS screen streaming

    If I make no attempt to connect, the LED remains light blue, aside from the red flicker when I press buttons and whatnot. I am also able to press the Home button to return to the Home screen, without that crash occurring. I checked my log file in the root folder of my SD card, but it doesn't...

    Homebrew HzMod - old3DS screen streaming

    Hello! It's been a few years since I've messed with 3ds stuff, but I had an itch to try some things and ran into a hiccup or two in the process. I have a Japanese New 3DS XL (converted to US region) running Luma and the latest 3DS software, and a physical copy of Project Mirai DX. Using the...

    Hacking Discussion Regarding the Nekopara Volume 1 for the Switch

    a bit more info on this: .xp3 is the proprietary archive format used by kirikiri, probably the most widely-used VN engine out there. Nekopara uses a variant of it called KiriKiriZ. Furthermore, nearly every modern krkr game uses some form of unique (but simple) encryption on its xp3 archives...

    Hacking Just got an email from Nintendo (not banned yet though)

    Hello, fellow Kentuckian. Yeah, the schools can get pretty shitty out here. I was lucky enough to be raised in a part of the state where they actually put a decent amount of funding and effort into education, but where I live now I hear things are absolutely terrible.

    Hacking RELEASE HACDN - Download game NCA files directly from Nintendo's CDN!

    tbf, SciresM sounds like a jaded software dev who's dealt with this kind of stuff a billion times before and simply has no further patience for bad practice and willful ignorance, for whom a polite façade has proven time and time again to be merely wasted effort. His criticism was, at least to...

    I mean, without seeing the rest of the conversation it's impossible to judge those messages tbh

    Hacking Rocket League - unlocker

    he's saying storing data like your player level (which is visible / has visible effects in online gameplay) on the console rather than on the server is a bad idea. which is kinda true. if it doesn't really affect anything meaningful, I guess it's probably fine though.

    Hacking switch cfw "exosphere" manages to boot to the home menu

    I've assumed this to be the case from the start. I'm not getting my hopes up for new Smash though, if it's anything like the previous several games then I'm fine with waiting.

    Hacking Question Can someone post a photo of Efuses?

    TIL switch fuses are a thing, despite the fact that I've used them myself on numerous occasions at work

    Hacking Question Can someone post a photo of Efuses?

    I'm not an expert, but I think that's backwards; remember, you're looking at something extraordinarily tiny -- it seems like the dark areas are the actual conductive part, and the process of 'burning' the efuse actually removes the conductive material from the signal path (exposing the...

    Hardware Figured out a way to use voice chat without the adapter

    Don't do that. No, seriously, don't use a Y-splitter to combine two audio signals. It might "work" but it's not healthy for the devices sending the signals. Audio outputs are low-impedance power sources, and if you use a typical passive Y-splitter to combine the signals from two such outputs...

    Hardware Figured out a way to use voice chat without the adapter

    A potential problem will be that this is highly dependent on the audio device/drivers in your PC. There are a number of devices I've seen which introduced a large amount of latency into the audio stream, so the sound you hear from the line-in/mic (i.e. from the switch) is actually delayed by up...

    Hacking Identify console by NAND?

    yeah, I wasn't remotely expecting the entire NAND header to be console-unique, but that became immediately apparent when I started checking them. Turns out, my "NAND XL" backups didn't match either of the backups I had for my first two XLs. I then realized -- the entire reason I bought that...

    I rather enjoy a life of taking it easy. I haven't reached that life yet though.
