    Tutorial Remove the dark filter from Wii U GBA VC titles.

    Introduction Like other Virtual Console platforms, Nintendo's Game Boy Advance Virtual Console releases on the Wii U have reduced brightness. In the GBA's case, this is somewhat more defensible than with home consoles, as the original GBA model did display quite dimly. Still, later in the...

    Tutorial Forcing 4:3 display in Wii retail VC injections

    Introduction As a general rule, when you are running Wii mode software on the Wii U, it is displayed on your TV and GamePad using the aspect ratio configured in the Wii U settings. Wii BC modes inherit their aspect ratio from the Wii U, so if your Wii U is set to 16:9, then so is your vWii, and...

    Tutorial Modifying your vWii game region and/or video mode

    On the Wii U, region setting apps such as AnyRegion Changer app are no longer functional. Do not try to use them. That said, you can change some of those settings "manually" if you want different settings to what your vWii comes with. This can be done by modifying the setting.txt file found on...

    In case you haven't seen it, @Sono has been researching the hardware scaler used to filter games when they're running in DS mode in the TWPatcher - DS(i) mode screen filters and patches thread. This allows setting new and different filters and scaling DS games to different sizes than the...

    ROM Hack [Release] Ocarina of Time 3D (US English) Classic Controls

    These are a couple of tweaks to play Ocarina of Time 3D with controls slightly closer to the N64 version. It only works properly for the US version and with language set to English, because I really just made this for my own use and I don't understand French, Spanish, etc. What I've done here...

    Homebrew Game Boy Advance idle loop patches (i.e. speedhacks)

    Game Boy Advance emulation on 3DS is generally slow. One of the factors in this is that It's difficult to emulate a GBA that's working hard, and many games are quite taxing on the GBA's CPU. Fortunately, it's easier to emulate a GBA that's not working hard. Simple, well-programmed games...

    Gaming Overlooked "faux-retro" compilation: G.G Series Collection+

    I just wanted to point G.G Series Collection+ out as it seems to have flown well under the radar. The cart is a collection of small games by defunct developer Suzak (probably best known for F-Zero: GP Legend and Climax on the GBA or the kinda-mediocre Wario: Master of Disguise on the DS)...

    Hacking Help me release this Starblade VC Arcade translation.

    UPDATE The patch is now completed and available. See the attachments. The patching process is kind of a hassle: you need to add common-key.bin and StarbladeJP.wad to the "Starblade" directory, then run Apply Patch.bat. This will create StarbladeEN.wad in the same directory, which you can do with...

    Gaming Surinuke Anatousu demo?

    I just read that there's a demo of Surinuke Anatousu on the Japanese Nintendo Channel. Surinuke is a puzzle-ish game involving moving Tetris-like shapes through holes in successive walls, similar to that "human tetris" thing you see in videos of Japanese game shows. The game was released this...

    Remove the word "help" from this subforum's title.

    I think it would cut down on a lot of irrelevant questions being posted to this particular board if it was renamed to remove the word "help". People are too stupid to actually read and comprehend the full title, and there's no chance of anybody actually reading the description, which admirably...

    Hacking Anyone know what's going on with the (semi-)official board?

    The EZ-Flash board seems to have been down a while. Does anyone (FAST?) know what's going on and/or whether it's coming back? I tried visiting the actual official board, but it's pretty much full of child porn spam. Like one genuine topic to every 50 spam topics. So it'd be nice to get the...

    More focus on off-topic or repeated topics?

    This might seem fairly obvious to anyone who's used the DS section of the site, but it's kind of a mess. To demonstrate: On the front page of the NDS - Homebrew Games & Applications board, there is one redundant "tell me the best homebrew" topic, one nesDS topic, one WiiScrubber topic (WTF?)...
