    External HDD self-powered vs USB-only power (no Y-cable)

    So I stumbled upon the following hidden Wii U menu option to turn off power-save mode on the external drive. In the copy/move/delete data settings, move the cursor down to the bottom of the screen. Then press down (on the d-pad) as well as start and select simultaneously and hold all three...

    Firmware updates seem to break QZARCH-[XS] (app version)

    For anyone who managed to download the retail release of QZARCH-[XS], you may have noticed a few oddities: 1. If you set up any custom paths (e.g. for SYSTEM BIOS, other non-default directories could also be culprits), your QZARCH might no longer load properly. The app will show the RetroArch...

    PS1/2 New PS1 exploit does not even require a disc!

    Still in the early stages, but the fact that this is yet another new exploit (the other recent one being the tonyhax exploit) is simply amazing! https://hackaday.com/2021/04/10/newest-playstation-exploit-skips-the-disc/

    Hacking Can someone help me clear up my understanding of CFW?

    So I was fortunate enough to recently obtain an unpatched Switch. Everything has been set up to use emuMMC on a 64GB SD card that is split between the emuMMC and a FAT32 partition. When running the Switch with emuMMC, using Goldleaf to install onto "internal storage" actually writes to the...

    Hardware Are digital copies of games tied to xbox accounts or consoles?

    Last Christmas, we got an XBOX ONE S with the Minecraft bundle. I went ahead and installed Minecraft and the additional add-ons that came with it. We have literally played on this console three times (we have other systems that keep us pretty entertained) and are thinking of selling or even...

    Homebrew "GX" emulators locking up on menu screen

    I'm using the latest releases for Snes9x, FCEU, and VBA (the "GX" series), and they seem to all have issues with the menu screen (where you browse the list of ROMs alongside the boxart. I have not run into issues running games, saving/loading, etc. The only time I have issues is if I linger on...

    Hacking Iridion 2 crashing (EZ Flash IV 2.050)

    I don't remember Iridion 2 crashing on me when I was using older firmware (1.72RESET for example), but I cannot seem to get the USA release to not freeze at the first boss. I read the existing threads on the forums but they seem either outdated or refer to the Eurasia version. Looking at the...

    Hacking Regarding EZ Flash Omega's saving method...

    After reading up on EZF Omega, I cannot help but wonder why they did not just implement saving like the regular EZ Flash IV (upon reboot, it saves from SRAM onto SD, with the option of holding L to skip). If it is because they removed the SRAM chip, then why not at least create a visual effect...

    Hacking Patch database for EZ Flash IV 2.x

    After tinkering with kernel 2.05 for a bit, it occurred to me that the auto patcher seemingly just creates .PAT files found in the PATCH directory. It occurred to me that a lot of the initial time-to-wait can be bypassed if we could simply just copy pre-existing .PAT files. I am still waiting on...

    Hacking Updating to EZ Flash IV Kernel 2.x

    It has been a while since I tinkered with my GBA, but I recently got interested in it again and found out that there is now a 2.05 kernel that supposedly supports micro SD cards. Does this mean I can use a micro/mini SD adapter? What happens to my existing GBA ROM files -- will I have to delete...

    PS1/2 Softmodding a (fat) PS2 in 2017

    Updated for 2019 -- everything still remains the same, but added a few more details. For any PS2 (slim or fat) with model number less than 9xxx, the simplest method is to obtain a memory card with Free MC Boot installed. The cost of such a memory card is around $10 (USD) on ebay. Once you have...

    Hacking Revo k101

    (If this is in the wrong forum, mods please feel free to move it) Does anyone know when they'll ever make the white ones again? I really hate the see-thru ones that are currently available, and black is all-right but I would prefer the black one. Is it only possible to get a white one second-hand?

    Hacking EZ Flash IV 1.77 white screen on SSF2TR

    Hi, I recently updated my EZF4 to firmware 1.77. As some others had already noticed, it no longer recognized my miniSD card. So I changed to using a microSD (Kingston 16GB, class 4) card. I basically copied everything from the miniSD card over to the microSD card. Everything works fine on the...

    Gaming DS to GBA Video Tutorial

    This recording has modified audio clips so the sound levels are going to be off every now and then. Secondly, I only recorded the video AFTER I did the mod, so there were a lot of steps for which I do not have actual video footage. I would like to re-record this tutorial once I get my hands on...

    Hardware GBA from a DS Lite

    I know this has already been done, but I recently won four consoles in an eBay lot (GBA SP, GBA, and two DS Lites) and got them all to work, with one DS Lite turned into a GBA. Here's a preview: I suppose there are a few things different with my mod. With just a few touches of the soldering...

    Hacking Need advice on R4

    After reading all that I could on the forums, I have decided on getting an R4 flashcart. My problem is that I have no idea which "flavor" is most appropriate for someone who owns a DS Lite and does not plan to upgrade to newer DS consoles any time soon. The sticky thread on the different R4...
