    You know how Twl SystemUpdater has TADs encrypted with a different key? It's the debugger key right after the DSi common key in ARM7. I love mysterious people just appearing out of nowhere and answering my questions.

    Not sure I can really share it here but it's easy enough to find.

    Another prototype settings! There's a lot more stuff if you view TwlIPL in git and look through the commit history.

    NandSweeper 2? I converted TwlToolsRED to git since I don't know my way around svn. I found 130ish deleted test SRLs. Most are CardRomHeaderChecker but I'm finding some other neat files in here. Full copy of mario kart, mic test, home menu, and a few copies of nintendo DSi sound. Gonna keep looking for more!

    I hate CardRomHeaderChecker so much. These two lists are for what is and isn't CardRomHeaderChecker... yeah why did they have to have so many copies of the same program...

    Kinda like this? I can't put my usual navbar in since it just looks out of place here, but the background does look a bit better. Something feels off though...

    This looks absolutely perfect! :lol:

    Shit, this is what I'd call peak web design!
    Seriously though... all modern websites are boring, flashy (the bad kind), and absolutely trash accessibilty.
    Yours looks really good, is good for accessibilty (or at least yes for visual impairment), and the menubar doesn't even need JS for the effect!

    I went to my first world of commodore! It was awesome. Just a few minutes in and I joined a small PET demo watch party. We all pointed at the amazing effects at the same time. Definitely fit in well there.

    The BIOS unlock failed... I think I bricked the BIOS lol. My programmer didn't tell me until after I started to flash the unlocked copy, but for some reason it was having bad reads and writes. The exact chip ID wasn't in the list so I chose what sounded the most like it. Selecting another thing worked but I had already overwritten the original. I'll find a copy online and try again next week.

    OOF, doesn't that need a chip clip-on thingy and a chip programmer? Or did someone find a way to hijack something to do it without hardware modifications?

    Nope, still gotta have the programmer. And frustratingly no clip on thingies will work because it's QFN... it'll be a pain soldering it on and off (and hopefully I don't break it) but I think it'll be fun. And my coop says it's not working anyways so it's alright if I can't fix it. Spare parts for the other macs!

    I've heard that its really difficult. You first need to desolder the chip with a hot air station before flashing to the chip. Be careful and good luck.

    My friend upscaled and redesigned a couple of the icons on my nav bar and now they look much sharper. I didn't realize the blurriness was just from them being 32x32. Maybe I should upscale all the images I use.

    I'm nearly done remaking my site to be actually usable. Now I've just got a bit of cleanup like fixing some screenshots. Come on, don't burn out now, please don't suddenly not feel like continuing, pleeeeease. If I don't stop then this'll be the first project I actually complete without giving up for no reason.

    I redid the nav bar from scratch and it only took an hour and a half... compare that to the couple weeks of messing around when I first made it. I am very happy with my improvement! I must not suck as much as I thought.
    Also this finally fixes the weird display issues on some browsers.

    TwlNmenu is mobile friendly. MachineSettings isn't. The only difference is that MachineSettings has tables, so I remove them. It works. But I add the tables to TwlNmenu and things don't break. What is going on?

    Add the table into a scroll container (overflow-x: scroll), pretty sure that's what's causing its parent to expand.

    More easier said than done, as this is webdev, but good luck fixing it :)

    The issue ended up being a code tag not wanting to wrap properly, but I'm gonna add the scroll to the tables just in case it becomes and issue in the future. Thanks!

    Doing more stuff improving my site. I'm really happy with how it's coming along. It still needs work (more mobile stuff, padding on the right side of the main box) but it's definitely a huge step up from before.

    maketad.exe from the TWL SDK normally won't let you create TAD files for system titles and TwlNmenu/NandFiler. TwlIPL comes to save the day yet again showing that there's an unlisted flag (-s) that lets you make TADs for whatever DSiWare-type program you want. I'm going to use this to fill in the gaps in my archives.
