    Hacking Installing directly to the home menu

    Hi there! Recently got into my WiiU again. I have some old Wii and GC games lying around (both physical copies as wel as some backups). I would like to install them directly to the WiiU menu, but I'm getting a bit overwhelmed. What's the current go-to software for patching/injecting and...

    Hacking Some basis CFW-questions

    I bought a secondhand PS3 with Rogero 4.55 CFW, and it's arriving any day now. Before I hook it up, some questions. 1) Going online safely. I read that the best thing to do is to only sign into PSN ingame, don't play any CoD and use the PSN-tool. Is this the way to go, or am I missing...

    Hacking CFW on PS3 with broken discdrive

    Got a chance to buy a PS3 really cheap. CFW comes installed, but the discdrive is broken. Seems like a good deal. Nevertheless: do certain games still require a disc in the drive, or will all bakcups play?

    Hacking Remote play with CFW and Vita

    I saw some vids on youtube where ppl used their Vita to stream from a CFW PS3 (pretty much exacrly like the WiiU does). I'm wondering, how well does it actually work? Are games perfectly playable, or does it end up being rather buggy? Might actually buy such a setup if it works.

    Hardware 2 red lights

    My worst nightmare just came true yesterday. Finally got around to playing Mass Effect 3, then got me two red lights (overheating). Meh. I basically ruled out all the easy solutions, as the Xbox is placed properly without any sources of heat nearby. So I'm determined to open it up tonight to...

    Hacking Reflashing 360

    Last year I accidentally semi-bricked my 360 (liteon phat, Ixtreme) by running a dash-update from a disc. The 360 now boots straight into an error message and doesn't accept anything (which rules out installing a different dash through usb). I spent some time trying to figure out how to fix it...

    Hacking Xbox 360 semi-bricked after disc update

    Hello ppl, I updated my 360 the other day through the mandatory disc-update. I'm pretty sure my drive was flashed to 1.6, which in hindsight wasn't a particularly smart move. The 360 now boots straight into an error message: "Can't read the update from the disc. Please reinsert the disc to...

    Tutorial Burn 360 games on Ubuntu

    This took me some time figuring it all out when I first had to do it, so I'll post it here. Say goodbye to wine and img-burn, this way is actually faster. On a sidenote: I have explained it as n00b-friendly as possible. Experienced Linux-users will probably (rightly) want to ad some extra code...

    Android Getting arcade roms to work

    I have tried two emulators to get arcade games (neogeo and cps1/cps2) to work, but sadly I have been unable to. Android Arcade tells me it fails to load the rom, and Tiger Arcade just crashes altogether. The roms are from two different (and well-seeded) sources, so that pretty much rules out the...

    Hacking New dashboard update reflashing drive

    I don't know if this is true (I mean, I could verify it through some first hand experience, but for obvious reasons I won't), so better be careful. http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=111073415645971 Although it' s a hassle, from a security-point of view this whole thing with the 360...

    Android Emulators pulled from market, now what?

    Lately I have been contemplating buying an Xperia Play for emulator purposes. Today I learned that the emulators were pulled from the app store: http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/news/2011/0...roid-market.ars Now, I'm wondering the following. Does this mean that my hopes for emulating (mainly...

    Gaming Dragon Age 2 dash update - safe?

    The new Dragon Age comes with a new dash built in. My question is: is it safe to update or not? From what I have read, it's safe to update on a banned console then play Dragon Age, but it blocks some recent games such as AC:B. Anybody who can verify this? I don't care for AC:B after completing...

    English consoles

    A question to people on the European mainland. I have seen some interesting offers on consoles from English sellers on Ebay. Do the English have the sane electricity plugs as consoles bought on the mainland? And is the difference in voltage between Blighty and the mainland something to be...

    Hacking Upgrading CFW

    Here's the thing. Today I decided to dig up my Phat, running 5.00 M33-4. Not unsurprisingly, none of the newer games booted, so upgrading to the most recent CFW seems like the logical thing to do. So, what's the best way to upgrade with the lowest chance of bricking?

    Best rpg's you wouldn't know of

    I have been a big fan of rpg's across a great deal of platforms ever since the 16-bit era. Nowadays I feel like I have at least played every blockbuster around (the Dragon Quests, Final Fantasies, Tales-games, et cetera). So are there any rpg's that I wouldn't know of? Slightly obscure ones...

    Gaming Playing 360-games from a hdd without jtag

    Yeah, I know it's not possible to use a hdd to play games without jtag, at least not the way it's possible on the original Xbox or the Wii. What I'm wondering is: how come? With the recent discovery of the PS3-keys everything seems possible, swo in a way it's remarkable that there hasn't been...

    Hacking General stuff about keys and such

    I have been reading some into the recent news about the keys being publicly released. Interesting stuff. Two questions come to mind (out of curiosity). Anyone 1337 enough to answer them? a) The way I understand it, is that software only runs when both the console and the software are signed...

    Hacking General IOS question

    Does a new IOS-version replace the old one, or do the get installed alongside each other (even if they're different versions of the same number) The reason for asking: I'm happy I got my wii running in the first place, and I'd hate to go through a lot of trouble to fix something after installing...

    Hacking Getting a 7gb game on a FAT drive

    How exactly do I go about doing this? I have a 8 gb file ready, but Configurable USB Loader won't load it because of the 4 gb file limit of the FAT HDD. I read something about splitting into smaller wbfs-files, but I'm lost in the woods as how too. Any pointers (a guide or which programs to...

    Hacking Distorted sound and freezes on installed wads

    Hello friends, I just registered here, but this forum has helped me out many times in the past. At the moment I am working on my friend's Wii. I successfully downgraded it from 3.4e to 3.2e. Patched it with Starfall to make region-free. HBC works fine, as does the backup launcher. WADs...
