    Advice re: Recording (or ripping) PS5 audio

    A quick update for anyone who cares. I ended up going the route of a HDMI-to-USB capture device as there seemed to be no point in getting an HDMI to optical converter since they were more expensive and more restrictive (and harder to find). I bought a VIVITAR HDMI-to-USB Capture Card from...

    Advice re: Recording (or ripping) PS5 audio

    I was thinking of that. Any recommendations on which one to get and any pitfalls to avoid? (I want to make sure there isn't weird stuff, like it converting stereo PCM to mono or dropping the KHz or having a weird filter point, etc.)

    Advice re: Recording (or ripping) PS5 audio

    I am not aware of any way to rip audio directly from a PS5 disc, are you? (game in question, Gran Turismo 7) As the PS5 doesn't have an optical out, I'm not sure how else to record the audio output out of the game now with a PS5, ideas? (for context, I'm the bozo that ripped the entire...

    Tutorial Community noob guide to Wii U hacking

    SUGGESTION RE GUIDE WORDING Just a heads up, I kept getting the "FSOpenFile Failed" when using the files in this OP across 6 different SD cards so I got to investigating other causes other than the SD cards. I finally figured it out and would suggest that we tweak the wording in the guide. It...

    Hacking Please help a dad scrub a soft modded Wii U bought used

    !!! So wait a minute, does that mean that if this person, for example, was to change their Nintendo account password in the future or some other connectivity issue happens (since I wouldn't know how to login to their account other than turning on the system), that I'd risk bricking the Wii U...

    Hacking Please help a dad scrub a soft modded Wii U bought used

    Thank you both, just to clarify, I want to keep the softmod. I'm under the impression that if I do what Boured mentioned, then I would lose the softmod, correct? So then, V10lator adds an alternate but warns that I shouldn't delete the Nintendo account as otherwise I lose access to the NDS...

    Hacking Please help a dad scrub a soft modded Wii U bought used

    So I recently ended up picking up a Wii U by accident (I was trying to buy additional Wii controllers for my kids to play Mario with their friends and it seems like the only reasonable deal was to buy a used bundle from Kijiji). The good news is that the Wii U is clearly an upgrade over the Wii...

    Hacking How to rip PS4 audio from disc?

    Just a quick update, I've checked the PKG for GT Sport and it doesn't contain any obvious folder with music (at least to me). It seems they would be embedded within .VOL files but I don't have anything to explore the contents of that. Is there a program that could?

    Hacking How to rip PS4 audio from disc?

    Short Version Can someone point me to a program or utility that allows you to rip PS4 audio? Specifically for Gran Turismo Sport which should contain streamed audio files. Long Version The OST for GT Sport doesn't exist in any formal capacity. The few that are out there only contain a select...

    Hacking best speed and settings fo burning GC games?

    It doesn't have to be Nero, I just used it as an example. Just use a program that scans the disc for PI/PIF errors and you'll have something to confirm your decision to burn at X speed.

    Hacking best speed and settings fo burning GC games?

    There is no absolute number for the best speed to burn discs at. A similar question would be to ask what's the best speed to drive a car at. It depends on the car being driven (DVD burner) and road being travelled (media). It depends on your equipment and media. Ultimately, the best speed to...

    Hacking Games that benefit the most from USB Loader

    +1 Punchout's load times definitely improved with the USB loader. I also noticed improvement in Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn with the elimination of load times in different battles. (although not as significant as the load times were only a second or so but the brief pause is eliminated in the USB...

    Hacking Cios rev13

    Where in your previous post did you mention anything about re-installing windows? You only mentioned it in your follow-up post. Notwithstanding, it is still not defragmenting your drive as you are simply re-installing your OS on a formatted drive. Defragmenting constitutes re-arranging data...

    Hacking Cios rev13

    Sorry, I think my question was a silly one, IOS38 is just a newer IOS (vs IOS37) which is probably why Waninkoko based the new cIOS off of it. I think the only added feature on IOS37 over IOS36 is the RockBand instruments functionality.

    Hacking Cios rev13

    Edit: for rev 11 see above post. Rev 12 is based off of IOS38 (vs IOS36) which is a newer IOS which should increase compatibility with some newer games such as Animal Crossing. I'm not certain if any older games are affected by this but I don't imagine so (anyone who can clarify?). Presumably...

    Hacking Cios rev13

    How is writting 0s to a HDD's surface re-organizing the data (ie defragmenting) when you're eliminating all of the data? That's like saying leveling a building is a quickish way to clean it.

    Hacking Cios rev13

    Nemix77, there is nothing inherently "wrong" with formatting a drive periodically but your notion that it somehow 'refreshes' or 'revitalizes' the drive is at best a placebo effect. Zippy summarized the situation quite well so I won't repeat his points but just address your questions in your...

    Hacking Question: Any Reason NOT to use Waninkoko's cIOS?

    Is there any reason not to upgrade WiiGator's cIOS released with Gamma to Waninkoko's cIOS? (which I believe is at rev 10 now) Is there any disadvantage to using Waninkoko's over WiiGator's? I may have my facts wrong but I believe that when WiiGator released Gamma, he had his own cIOS that had...
