    Hacking Trying to make the Supercard suck less in 2022...

    Intro If you've been looking for a GBA flashcart recently, you'll probably be aware of the fact that the functional cheap flashcarts of old like the EZ Flash IV just aren't around any more. There are high end carts which are better like the Everdrive GBA and EZ Flash Omega Definitive Edition...

    Multibootstrap: Patch multiboot GBA ROMs to run from a cartridge

    There are playable multiboot GBA ROMs which can be dumped from games like Nintendo Puzzle Collection, Puzzle League and Wario World. These ROMs will only run in multiboot mode from RAM, not as a cartridge ROM. Emulators seem to handle these fine but annoyingly some flashcarts like the EZ Flash...

    Hacking GBC Colour remover

    This is a small program to patch the header of a dual mode GBC ROM to remove GBC support. These games will now run in monochrome on real hardware. I made this because I wanted to play Bomberman Quest in black and white on my GBC using a flashcart, but it should work for other dual mode ROMs too...

    EZ Flash Omega DE rumble not working

    I recently bought an EZ Flash Omega Definitive Edition. The cart works well, except for the fact that the rumble feature does not work. I patched Pokemon R&S Pinball ROM for rumble support, but there is no rumble in game. I also tried a DS game. With the mode B selection on rumble and the...

    Hacking Updating sysnand without FIRM protection...

    What happens of you update the sysnand of a console with a9lh while funning a CFW that does not protect the FIRM0/1 regions of NAND? Does the console update normally, and effectively become unhacked? Does it brick because of the tampered keystore, or some other reason? Does it depend on 3DS...

    Hacking QA Flagging use

    What's the significance of enabling the QA flag? I understand it's useful for debug tools but is there much use for a typical end user? Does it make switching firmwares easier?

    Hacking 2DS and MSET

    I've gotten myself a new 2DS to work with rxTools. It came with 6.0.0-12E firmware. I tried running rxinstaller.nds from my DS flashcart and installing the 6.x exploit. Heading to the DS Profile crashes my system. What's going wrong here? I thought that the MSET exploit worked on 6.x firmwares...

    Hardware Unbricking a 3DS

    I bricked my original 3DS by misusing sysupdater. Fortunately I have plenty of NAND backups I can use to restore my system, but I lack the soldering skills I need to restore the 3DS myself. Are there any services that would allow my 3DS to be unbricked? I don't care if there's a permanent mod or...

    Homebrew How flexible are TWL_FIRM and AGB_FIRM?

    It's my understanding that TWL_FIRM and AGB_FIRM are the two firmware modes responsible for running DS/i software and GBA software on the 3DS. How much is known about how these modes work? Would they be considered emulation or running natively? I expect the latter but I'm interested in...

    Hacking CFW and online

    I have a PS3 slim, CECH-2003A which I am considering downgrading so I would be able to install CFW on it. Is it possible to access PSN and in-game online services while using CFW? Is it otherwise possible to dual boot OFW and CFW in order to retain online compatibility with my games?

    ROM Hack Emunand conversion?

    Does there exist or is it simple to create software which is capable of converting between different varieties of emunand, such as CFW, Gateway, etc?

    Homebrew File explorer with NAND/SD support?

    Does a file explorer exist which supports reading NAND filesystem and SD contents? I'd like a program which is capable of at least copying NAND -> SD. Failing that, an alternative method of being able to dump the unencrypted NAND filesystem of a Palantine CFW installation would be useful.
