    SuperFW: a (very much WIP) supercard firmware

    I tested this in a Supercard with microsd and minisd (I do no think it is relevant, it's just the same kind of device). I haven't added support for flashing the internal flash yet, I assume that might be tricky, given all the messages in the SCFW thread, right metroid maniac? Seems that there...

    SuperFW: a (very much WIP) supercard firmware

    Hey there! So yeah, after seeing that this was pretty much possible (thanks to metroidmaniac's effort) and since this was something that I always wanted but nobody came up with, I decided to give it a shot and try it myself. I've been working on this over the past 2-3 weeks and so far it looks...

    Homebrew SCFW: Custom Firmware & Kernel for Supercard

    Thanks for your reply! Yeah, diffing ROMs might be very helpful to find how they are patched and fix non-working games. I saw that some games have very specific patches (tho only a handful) and the majority are properly patched with the WAITCNT register write finder. But perhaps there's room to...

    Homebrew SCFW: Custom Firmware & Kernel for Supercard

    Pretty cool project I must say! I stumbled across the original post by coincidence and to my surprise a few weeks later boom! Do you have some more information about the hardware? I know it has a flash and an SDRAM chip (used to hold the ROM), but would be nice to understand how things are...

    GBA wireless adapter emulated on 3DS

    Thanks for the feedback. I was not aware of that project, but it would be super amazing to implement some sort of wireless compatibility layer. I also learned (thanks to your comment) that some similar projects exist for DS/DSi (like GBARunner2 ?). Perhaps we could have some sort of...

    GBA wireless adapter emulated on 3DS

    Ok the title is a partial clickbait, sorry for that! This might belong to the GBA forum perhaps, but 3DS owners might also welcome it. I spent the past month working on reversing the GBA wireless adapter along with some folks who already did in the past or are doing right now. I implemented this...

    Sonic mania 3ds port released!

    Hey there! I recently got a 2DS and I was stoked to play Sonic Mania on it (my switch sorta died and it's not very usable). However load times are teeerrible. So I went ahead and proposed a small fix that makes load times up to 4x faster! Sent a PR to the upstream repo, and in the meantime...

    Homebrew RELEASE reicast [Dreamcast emulator] for Switch/Horizon [Alpha]

    Hey just a heads up, no longer workin on this. However most of the code was upstreamed (by me) to reicast, right before the flycast fork, therefore it will definitely land on Switch as a Retroarch plugin or whatever it is called. Stay tuned, these guys are working really well and it should be...

    Homebrew RELEASE reicast [Dreamcast emulator] for Switch/Horizon [Alpha]

    Not much for now, life gets me busy in oyher fronts. But hopefully will get some fixes for the worst bugs soon. Im also working on reicast in general, improving things, making it faster and all that :)

    Homebrew RELEASE reicast [Dreamcast emulator] for Switch/Horizon [Alpha]

    Controllers are easy to fix, will look into it soon. Also note that this is not using JIT for the audio cpu (arm) which is supported in android. Im looking to enable that as well on the Switch, which should give a significant speed boost. Im confident with the optimizations that I excluded in...

    Homebrew Question Retroarch + exFat = corruption?

    I used exFat until last week on v7.0.1 to develop the switch port of reicast. While I see it has improved (from v5) exfat still causes corruption even on read-only situations. it has.made debugging hard sometimes since it would corrupt my disc images and therefore games would crash making me...

    Homebrew RELEASE reicast [Dreamcast emulator] for Switch/Horizon [Alpha]

    Wow I like your forwarders for games a lot! (And also the reicast one, very useful to avoid ppl having issues) Also: where is that BIOS from? The one with the 3D logo? :O Making progress here, with texture invalidation, will take me some more days I think:

    Homebrew RELEASE reicast [Dreamcast emulator] for Switch/Horizon [Alpha]

    chd should work. did you create those chd images yourself? from the gdi that works? I'm curious cause the chds are in theory a byte to byte identical image (when uncompressed)

    Homebrew Discussion Play! PS2 Emulator is running on the Nintendo Switch!

    Kudos for the creative posting :) Can you explain with a bit more detail how it is working? JIT? Any features that are not enabled vs PC version? Thanks man!

    Homebrew RELEASE reicast [Dreamcast emulator] for Switch/Horizon [Alpha]

    So some of the bugs in games (ie SA2) are switch specific. its either the gpu andor driver. thats why we ask for reports. Indeed most reports will be ppl complaining about the textures, but we can easily filter out based on submission date. Some more clarifications: it is running on JIT, however...

    Homebrew RELEASE reicast [Dreamcast emulator] for Switch/Horizon [Alpha]

    Heh, I see you are all crazy for cheats and widescreen. I will look what we can do about it, I think we could have something reasonable built for reicast. Are there any proper repositories of cheat codes and/or widescreen hacks (or any other hacks for what matters).

    Homebrew RELEASE reicast [Dreamcast emulator] for Switch/Horizon [Alpha]

    I just moved to FAT32 myself, exfat is fucking pain. However I see there's support for splitting NSP and things like that now, so not a big deal I suppose. Also DC GDROMs are 1.2GB (or ~900MB if you use CHD) so no big deal. The filesystem driver is buggy as hell, I formated my SD card like...

    Homebrew RELEASE reicast [Dreamcast emulator] for Switch/Horizon [Alpha]

    Hey there! Update: all my testing was on fw v7, so no idea about other FWs or version. Also got around exception handling in switch today, seems to be working now. I will add support for it in the next days or so. This should fix texture quirks right away (it's an easy fix). Then I'll add...

    I rather enjoy a life of taking it easy. I haven't reached that life yet though.

    That's a relief to hear. Do you know what happened?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, Any idea what happened? I hope that your brother's doing good.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    Well, from what I've heard from my parents, he had a seizure last night, perhaps an epileptic episode, fucking died, had a near death experience, my dad called the paramedics, they showed up, took him to the hospital, and he woke up covered in tubes, and started complaining.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    He couldn't eat until after his MRI, when he had a bomb pop.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    What matters now is that he's doing alright.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But you still don't know what it was?
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Has he had seizures before?
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    apparently stress can cause seizures, my brother had one during a test once
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had one before that, and never had one since
