    How did you choose your username and why?

    My name but with an Y :) Don't remember how I picked it though, just that I was into the iPhone scene so 2009-2011 (remember when they were small, "affordable", and with a good looking UI?), before that I used an Hotmail address with a stupid username and a Youtube (non-Google) account with an...

    Gaming Misc Project Pokemon Diamond & Pearl Languages?

    In fact "3 English versions" is not what it looks like, they certainly didn't bother changing colors to colours, AFAIK it's just one less stupid logo when you start the game ("esrb warning - game experience may change during online play", whatever that means at face value, I didn't notice any...

    I miss those old BBS forum like GBAtemp

    For me it has to do with the merging of the subforums :) :( And/or just the DS/Wii popularity having dipped? SBAllen (who's never been Ceejus) has very recently quit too :( And apparently in the whole 2010s I've been gone from it (not like I've returned) they: added real quotes to forums added...

    PS1/2 Questions about using a 2.5" external HDD

    Usually with your ear - it will make a sort of beeping noise as it fails to spin up and unpark the heads :)

    Looking for best DS/DSlite flash cart

    Well, as you may know it's a chip that can be configured to do "anything" within it's limits... and that most every DS flashcard uses one (or their relative-with-tradeoffs CPLD) as their main processor Conclusion - by itself it's a buzzword :)

    What is this strange flashcart? (Ninja DS SmartCard)

    Makes sense given it's one of the first, if not the first* R4 clone :) * excluding the M3 Simply which is an R4 with a jumper changed... now I wonder if it runs official Wood, which I don't think ever mentioned it explicitly... A friend of mine had it back when it was hot, we went together to...

    PS1/2 Questions about using a 2.5" external HDD

    If it will work without additional power? Yep, correct

    PS1/2 Questions about using a 2.5" external HDD

    Well it depends, there are lots of different disks and different converters, they may be used with or without an Y cable, the fuse (or IC Link as $ony calls them) could have been bypassed, etc :) Same - it depends (though I suspect it won't try too hard to enforce USB standards, but at the same...

    Hardware Oldies GBC save dumper

    https://github.com/insidegadgets/GBCartRead - classic Arduino one Test points on the back of the game card, intended to measure battery voltage at various points in the circuit but that you can use to attach a third battery while you do the job :)

    Gaming Misc Project Pokemon Diamond & Pearl Languages?

    Yep you caught them all (now if you were crazy enough to want all the different versions too...) Lmao the Japanese product code looks super fake - even though it was correct at the time, they just took a lot to switch to the international font :D

    Do I need to update my Wiiu from 5.5.3 in order to hack it?

    Nah, there's definitely an exploit for 5.5.3 and, unsurprisingly, you don't gain anything notable in the following versions :)

    Trying to test boot

    Yep you also need a working (electronically) optical drive - although the console will IIRC boot without, pretty much all official software, even the all digital ones, freeze without it

    Question about N3DS sleep mode brick

    Nandmin "means" (with the caveat that anyone can rename a file to any valid name) a trimmed backup, which yes can be flashed like a full one, because the additional space is not normally used at all (like the first Xbox when they went from 8 to 10 GB disks)

    "games" folder games not recognized by USB Loader GX but "wbfs" folder does

    Separately from that I'd look into whatever that 580 MB thing is - if it's a traditionally-trimmed ISO you're going to have trouble with certain titles (those doing absolute sector reads) as the files won't be in their original place on the virtual miniDVD anymore, you can use CISO or NKit-ISO...

    Inherited red wii with a theme on it. Can i use modmii to mod like normal?

    It doesn't really matter - the Wii is a very modular system, meaning that you can mix and non-match a lot of things (so are, at least to some degree, most other consoles - which is why I have a beef with "guides" that tell you their way as a dogma and have close to 0 educational value)... in...
