    Hardware Streaming GBA

    I use Game Boy Interface, which is a free, homebrew Game Boy Player software that works much better than the official disk. Either one can be booted easily these days via a memory card hack. You just need one of a few specific games (I use Melee) and access to a modded Wii with GameCube support...

    Hardware Switch Lite - Thermal Paste Needs Reapplication?

    If you can safely and confidently take it apart and put it back together there’s no harm in reapplying thermal paste. Aside from that, it’s generally good practice to clean and reapply thermal paste whenever you remove the heat sink anyway, so now I’d say you SHOULD reapply it. EDIT: I misspoke...

    Analogue Pocket announced; can play a variety of handheld systems' games through FPGA

    The one thing that’s sexiest to me about this is the screen. It sounds too good to be true and until I see one it is, but Analogue has made pretty hard-to-believe things in the past. It probably sounds too high a resolution to be useful, but I can argue that its super high DPI and large area...

    Hacking New Theme for EZ-Flash Omega!

    I am using a DS Lite primarily. I have an AGS-101 and original DS (phat) available, and somewhere I have an AGS-001 but I’m not certain of its location. Anyway, I’d be happy to test your code.

    Hacking New Theme for EZ-Flash Omega!

    Some weird bug that's really upsetting: copying mother 3 with add-ons to NOR freezes at 255Mb (the ROM is 256Mb/32MB). With the latest build it doesn't happen if I do the clean version, but it's the kind of game that really benefits from save states, as some battles can be very long and...

    Hacking Best path for copying save files to another Wii U?

    Well correct me if I’m wrong, the latest firmware can be brought from stock to CBHC right? auto Also, I think I might want to switch consoles, as I like the black one better than I expected to. Is there a way to copy the entire NAND from an 8 GB console to a 32 GB one without any weird...

    Hacking Best path for copying save files to another Wii U?

    I let my sister borrow my Wii U when I got my Switch, and I just got it back… but it took buying her a replacement… Anyway, now I have both in my possession for the sake of setting it up for her, and I was wondering if there’s a way to easily copy her save file to the new Wii U. I know it can...

    Hacking [PSA] Strong anti-piracy measures implemented by Nintendo for online.

    You have a basic misunderstanding of how digital signatures work. When you purchase a game, in one way or another Nintendo combines both your unique identifiers and the common code for the game, uses some mathematics that have been proven for over 4 decades now, and distributes a certificate to...

    Hacking How easy is it to break pin 10 with a paperclip jig?

    Well… don't pick a stray ground from something else without your Switch plugged (via USB-C) into the same thing you're getting ground from… Seriously. It might not work, and it might hurt your Switch. If it has worked a few times, that doesn't mean it won't hurt your Switch. The heatsink is...

    Wait, what the fuck? You’re only connecting one end of the wire to your Switch?

    Hacking F-G Joycon Mod: MagnetHax Switch Edition

    I don't know if the purpose of pin 9 isn't documented, but it is not actually ground — it just happens to be set to logic low when a Joy-Con is attached, and logic low is referenced to ground. This means that it usually works. But at best it's not guaranteed, and at worst it simply won't work...

    Hacking F-G Joycon Mod: MagnetHax Switch Edition

    I can’t believe how big the font size is on iOS, or the fact that you can’t scroll in this text box, I couldn’t reply to this without deleting your message. Anyway, if what you’re saying is you ripped open a joy con, and now you only use the joy con to enter RCM a mode and it’s unusable as an...

    Homebrew Earthbound VC save export

    This works to export your save FROM the 3DS. I’ve used it to continue on real hardware by dropping the resulting .srm file into my SD2SNES’s SD card. HOWEVER, I’m pretty sure right now the VC save format isn’t entirely documented, and you CANNOT import your save file BACK to the 3DS. I really...

    Hardware What's the whole eFuses thing?

    No you can’t. The fuses are INSIDE THE CPU. And the CPU also has serial information burned into it, so even if you somehow could swap it you’d (worst case) brick the rest of the Switch, or (best case) lose all of your data.

    Gaming Is there a way to always start Virtual Console and agb_firm software in unscaled mode by default?

    The thread title pretty much says it. If you hold Select or Start while launching a Game Boy VC or agb_firm game, the game’s screen will appear unscaled/pixel perfect and (for GB/GBC games) will have an actual Game Boy bordering the screen. I feel like there should be some sort of flag set in...

    [W.I.P] NES/SNES Classic Commands List

    I recommend reading an introduction to Linux and maybe setting up a VM or something to futz around in. These are mostly standard Linux/Unix commands. In fact, the only ones that I noticed that aren’t normally included with ordinary Linux distributions are gameover, test-menu, nanddump, and...

    making GB Boy Colour suck less

    It doesn’t dim like that? That’s kind of funny… that just means the power LED is connected after the voltage regulator, instead of before. If you have the “unregulated” voltage from the battery going directly to the LED (with a current-limiting resistor in series with it so it doesn’t just burn...

    Hacking Why do flashcarts have timebombs?

    I’ve never seen a DS flash cart that wasn’t fully updatable, aside from the header on older carts (which is by no means the kernel)

    Hardware Just put my switch in the dock how do i know when its fully charged.

    On the home screen you’ll see a battery indicator that graphically shows your current state of charge. If you press ZL+ZR, you’ll see a battery percentage below it. And in the settings, you can turn on a permanent battery percentage on that screen.
