    I really don't suggest installing dev apps on retail. I've done it on my consoles and besides ruining the weak NAND, I've had issues where some of the apps would delete stuff of mine, break configs, break some home menu features like moving things around, etc. For some reason some programs only want to fuck with stuff when installed? Not sure why...

    I've already backed up my NAND to my PC, so I can easily recover via hardmod if I screw something up.

    Still best not to damage the NAND more than needed unless testing something.

    I'm in the middle of cleaning all my stuff and I find it amazing how much stuff I have. Do I really have that much? How did it get there? I should think about getting rid of stuff. Years of useless crap that I'll never touch again, no point in keeping the majority of it.

    For some reason I read the newpaper if I ever see a physical copy. I have been going to the library to read the paper whenever possible... yup, I'm definitely reaching adulthood soon. I can feel my interesting self slip away into a boring coffee drinking, newpaper reading, job having weirdo.

    Reading the dead tree edition of news like it was 1890?

    I've often had capricious, odd hours of my own,
    Yet such an impulse I have never known.

    Established media, especially newspapers, are corrupt beyond any description. Only sometimes I take a peak, but honestly, I can't take the pain it causes very long.

    Journalists formally have been very eloquent – their job demanded it – but nowadays, "journalism" is more or less Twitter level.

    Ironically I had to start a new message for this ↑↑ … just like Twitter.

    There was a time when they investigated things… without internet. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Günter_Wallraff

    Thankfully our local paper is better than most. While still jerking off political leaders, for the most part I find it's less biased. Comparing with other more trusted news sources online it is almost always right. Thankfully I always look into things a bit before sharing any articles, just in case they do write a shit story.

    Gah! If I hear the "piracy is okay if it's nintendo" line one more time I will loose it. Like sure haha, supposed to be funny, but it's said so often that it's beyond annoying. We get it, large corporation cringe, hurting them it cool, just please shut up about it. Saying that line again only makes it less funny.

    Same for the unbelievable stupid "backups" in quotes as low-IQ euphemism for illegal copies.

    Modifying stuff is good.
    Backups (without the quotes!!) are good.
    Introducing new possibilities and learning about things is good.

    Openly advocating piracy is dumb helping the other side.

    The annoying bit of that line for me has always been singling out just Ninty. Like, there's so much more one could consider. Sure, Nintendo are dicks, but what of the handful of large publishers that weasel out of paying US Federal taxes?

    It always amazes me how long a couple days feels on the internet. Something that happened only a couple days ago will feel like weeks.

    I wonder why. I don't know much but maybe it's because we consume so much content online. It's like when you spend an entire day doing things and it feels like multiple days.

    I've heard from people that Japan is xenophobic when it comes to foreigners entering the country, but I feel that depends on which area you're going to.

    @Mama Looigi I like that video... or perhaps don't, because thinking about this hyper reality is sad. Just to realize how big the "fake" world of the internet is and how much it consumes us all is almost scary. I think I know what older people mean when they say they worry about younger generations with technology. At least this serves as a reminder for me to experience the real physical world.

    Exams in 2 days... oh joy. I wonder how my recent daily sensory overloading will impact that. I didn't even know what it was called until a teacher called it that, but now I can finally name that lovely overwhelming torrent of noise and motion that makes me want to leap up and scream. Anyone got any tips on how to not have that happen? Or how to not explode from it?

    LMAO fake proto moment. Seriously folks, if you're gonna fake a proto, at least put some effort into it. Sticking a random cable in the back and printing dogshit and un-nintendo looking labels is not gonna cut it.

    And lets all laugh at the fakers for flashing 40820D which has broken touch screen calibration on everything but the menu (still gotta see about fixing that).

    Also as a side note on the stickers, would nintendo label the firmware version anyways? I'd imagine they'd be rewriting new firmwares to the protos (see how SL1 is bridged on the FCC proto pics) so what, would they make a new label each time they flash? lmao

    Again, only useful to me since I've got now 170+ WiFi boards and the cart already built, but thought it'd still be fun to have up. It comes with lots of stuff for dumping/flashing firmwares, checking them to see if they've been dumped (just in case), injecting or backing up specifically the WiFi config (can't reproduce if lost, and will brick wireless communications without the proper data)
    rvtr

    And yes I do use a 3DS for programming the boards... low tech solutions since I can't be bothered to look into "professional" hardware lol

    Am I just looking in the wrong place or is there really little documentation for godmode9 scripting? Took me ages to find hex editing with fset/fget, and there doesn't seem to be a mention of it elsewhere. I hope I'm just missing something.

    I already said this before, though I put viewing restrictions on my profile immediately after, so I don't think many people saw. I felt perhaps a post that's actually visible to the public would be much better.

    I love the hot air gun! I spent all day removing every single chip from some broken stuff I have, and everything just slid off or came off with a tap. I wish I knew about hot air stations earlier.

    @FAST6191 sadly not, though I suppose I wouldn't really use them anyways. The extent of my chip removing will probably just be smaller stuff (>1x1cm) so just the boring default tips should work well enough.

    I know I don't have much control over what people do with what I write, but please, don't charge more than a couple bucks. I'd hate to see people start price gouging others for something only takes $1.50 to make... I'd also hate even more since I was kinda the one that made the iQue board in the first place...

    These things cost almost nothing to make and so they should cost almost nothing to buy.
