    PS2 - Any ill effects to using maximum ZSO compression level on ziso.exe? Can it do batches?

    I was using the frontend/GUI PSXiSO but it's a bit... broken (guess that's why it is listed as beta) but it's just a frontend for several CLI-based compression tools, and they look simple enough to use manually (especially with that GUI being a bit messy to deal with). However, I noticed that...

    What options do I have for my hard-modded PS2 going forward?

    I still have my old V9/V10 PS2 from back in the day that was hard-modded with an Matrix Infinity chip. I know it was an official chip and not a bootleg, and that I used to check vigorously for firmware updates for it back in the day. I don't remember what firmware version it was on now but it...

    Is there any way to mass-restore save data?

    So backing up save data from a WiiU is not hard if you have homebrew, SaveMii Mod has a "Batch Backup" option that can just backup everything at once. (Actually, I seem to have three copies of that app. SaveMii, SaveMii Mod, and SaveMii Injectmod, not sure what the difference is). But is there...

    What USB storage device would use the lowest power for the WiiU?

    I asked about this before, but it was more about durability back then. Right now that isn't as much as a concern as trying to find a device that the WiiU can actually power without using a Y-Cable or an external AC adapter. I want to have two USB drives for my WiiU, one with my WiiU software...

    My Non-XL New3DS has broken solder buttons, I can't find replacement parts anywhere.

    My L-button is not working, I tried blowing in it but that barely makes it work for a minute if that. The replacement itself seems easy since you just need to replace a small pad that does not require soldering, but it seems impossible to find the actual part. Every result I look for I get...

    USB Loader GX just kicks me back to vWii home menu on AUTO, also can't boot directly into Wii with Tiramisu installed?

    So I have two issues: 1: I used to have no trouble playing games off of a USB drive with USB Loader GX, but that suddenly stopped working. When I try now it just gives me a black screen for about 30 seconds and then kicks me back to the vWii main menu. After some fiddling around I found out...

    VERY out of the loop, trying to backup/upgrade my old PS2

    I am VERY out of the loop so I have no idea what the PS2 scene is like these days. I have been getting back into my old systems, and I want to backup my PS2 HDD that I have not touched in years just to be safe, what would be a good modern tool to attempt to do this? My HDD was actually not being...

    Hit the Screenshot limit, question about if I can move then recover screenshots.

    So I was taking screenshots when my Switch gave me an error that I couldn't store any more, despite still having a ton of space left on my SDcard. It was then that I found out that the Switch has a hard 10,000 screenshot limit per MicroSD card regardless of how much space is on it. (Let's...

    Trying to copy my HDD to a Flashdrive, more than twice the free space needed?

    I have a 1TB HDD on my WiiU, and HATE having to use it. It's MASSIVE over-kill because I don't have nearly enough WiiU games for that kind of space (it was the cheaper than 500GB drives at the time), it takes up two USB ports since I need a Y-cable to give it enough power, and I don't like...

    Hacking vWii - Is there a WiiU-specific version of USB Loader GX or something? I am having a lot of trouble.

    Mainly, I am having a ton of trouble trying to get it to load anything from a USB drive. 99% of the time it will hard-lockup on the "Initialize USB Device" message... and by "hard" I mean not even holding down the power button shuts off the system, I am forced to physically unplug it. I...

    Hacking Four quick questions, mostly in relation to the vWii

    1: If I backup my WiiU's nand, does that include the vWii segment as well, or do I have to make a backup dump of that separately? 2: If my vWii gets bricked, is there a way to restore it from backup of either the whole WiiU nand or just the vWii nand? 3: The hacking guide said that installing...

    Hardware Are any of those cheap HDMI adapters any good?

    I have been trying to play some games on my Wii I never got around to using the component cables in 480p and 16:9 mode and it looks BAD, really REALLY bad. And yes, I know it's a 14 year old SD system, but this goes beyond that. I actually have component cables for my Sega Genesis and PS1...

    Hacking Trying to transfer files from PS3 internal drive to USB NTFS drive

    What's the best way to transfer files over 4GB from my PS3's internal HDD to a USB drive? FTP is not an option for me, and I need to extract all the files off of my PS3's HDD, but since some of them are over 4GB, I am not sure what to do. I know there are a few apps that have NTFS support, but...

    Gaming Is it possible to re-order images in the Switch's gallery?

    Yes I know there are tools to re-sign images and so, but that is not what I am trying to do, I am not trying to add my own images to the gallery. I took several screenshots and videos, but I had to trim down some of the videos later and I wasn't aware that this would create a new video at the...

    Hacking Any way to "merge" the contents of two PS3 units together?

    So, I bought a used PS3 slim to replace my aging PS3 Fat that has overheating issues, with the intent to perform a System Transfer. However, that used Slim had a lot of nice games pre-installed on it that I wish to keep. Issue is, I have no idea how to do this while also transferring over all...

    Hardware Decent drives for burning CD-Rs?

    So, modern Blu-Ray burners barely burn CDs at all, and mostly as an afterthought at high speeds. Needless to say, older systems like a SegaCD, Saturn, PS1 etc have a very hard time reading these disks even burned at the slowest (which is still far too fast) setting these newer drives let you...

    Hardware Does the PS3 perform any type of CRC/Checksum verification while creating or restoring a backup?

    I have a slim PS3 with a dying Harddrive. It took several tries to manage to make a backup, but I got one. And it seemed to restore fine... but the issue is I don't know for sure if it worked perfectly, or if it either backed up, or even restored corrupted data. Does anyone know if the PS3...

    Hacking Are there any tools to backup/clone a PS3 HDD using a PC?

    I have a Slim PS3 running Rebug, and it's HDD appear to be shot. Or so I assume as I got it used, it's very slow to do anything and backup operations claim they will take a stupidly long amount of time (over 100 hours to backup under 200GB of data... which usually fails with a generic error...

    Hardware "Supposed" AGS-101 Screen replacements/upgrades for GBA: Can any of them even be trusted?

    So, have a GBA:SP that is an AGS-001, as well as an original GBA that I actually far prefer using, but it's no-lit screen makes it near impossible to do. I recalled those old GBA "backlight" kits from years ago, which are long-gone now (I think they were called Afterburner? I am talking about...

    Gaming Is using a GBA:SP Battery in a Nintendo DS feasible? Are there any good brands?

    My DS isn't holding a charge, and it's battery is bulging, I need to replace it. issue is. NOBODY seems to have replacement NTR-003 batteries anymore, neither official nor 3rd party. I also know that DS Lite and DSi batteries won't work in an original DS. I remember reading that if you cut off...
