    Hacking Advice upgrading from 4.4 with rxTools

    I haven't used my Old 3DS is a while. It have two SD cars with emuNAND, one "legit" and the other which I use for homebrew, but I understand that rxTools does not work on the latest 3DS firmware. I've been reading the forum and I think right now I want to keep the emuNAND for now and switch to...

    Hacking Save disappeared after using WUP Installer

    I was playing Twilight Princess HD from an optical disk. I then decided to install it to my Wii U's USB hard drive from an SD card using WUP Installer. Now, when I run the game either from the hard drive or from the disk, the save file is gone. Does anybody know why this happened and is there...

    Gaming [QUESTION] The BEST place to find CHEAP retro consoles

    I think you will find that Amazon and Ebay are cheaper (and riskier) than an official refurbisher, like Gamestop. But, you are going to be paying somewhere near the market price for it, since the market on those sites is quite competitive, so you might have to hunt for quite a while to get a...

    WiiU not much more powerful than PSVita, according do Nicalis Founder

    Nintendo is fully committed to the Wii U, at least until the next generation is on the shelves, which means you are going to see a lot of impressive exclusives being released on it for at least another year. Right now, Sony seems to be treating the Vita the same way that Microsoft treats Vista...

    WiiU not much more powerful than PSVita, according do Nicalis Founder

    The chart does not provide sources for its table and the Vita GPU FLOPS rating is not in line with other reports, so I am extremely skeptical. The Wii is incapable of running the unreal engine because it was never ported. The Vita is capable of running the Unreal engine because it was...

    WiiU not much more powerful than PSVita, according do Nicalis Founder

    In a fair comparison, measurements like FLOPS are a very good way to measure GPU performance across architectures. I mean, you could port Borderlands to the Wii. That does not mean a Wii or PS3 is in the same league as a octo-core i7 with GTX 980 SLI, which can also run Borderlands.

    WiiU not much more powerful than PSVita, according do Nicalis Founder

    This is just plain troll-bait and not technically accurate at all. It is hard to find data on the raw power of the Vita GPU, but most sources seem to put it at around 7 Gflops, which is around the speed of the Gamecube's GPU. That's pretty impressive for the day, but is really low-power...

    Hacking PS3 Full System Emulation?

    That is the problem with emulation. Sony engineers could probably do it given a small team and a reasonable time frame because they have the resources and expertise they need. That is why Xbox 360 games are running well on the Xbox 1 emulator, despite the slow CPU. For a few people to reverse...

    Hacking Give me your best estimate, what CPU will be "good enough" for 7th gen/Wii U emulation?

    For CPU emulation speed they can mean a lot (at least when comparing similar CPUs) because of the way it works and because of the difficulty of timing CPU emulation across multiple cores. One thing you really notice with hardware emulation that is pushing the boundaries of what current...

    Hacking Give me your best estimate, what CPU will be "good enough" for 7th gen/Wii U emulation?

    Well, Microsoft managed to get Xbox 360 games running on the Xbox 1, and the Xbox 1 CPU is not particularly powerful. However, I suspect that there is a lot of optimization there and it has to be done on a game-by-game basis. There is no way to guess how much CPU power a hacked-together Wii U...

    PS1/2 PS1 literally burns the CD

    Hacking Browserhax is being blocked even on older firmwares

    I'm fairly confident that is untrue, at least to the extent that I'm sure their lawyers wrote their TOS in such a way to allow it and I doubt that the US courts would rule otherwise. I suppose you could sue them for updating your system, but that seems like a longshot. Other companies like...

    Hardware Will you buy nx if nintendo offer wii u expansion for free

    Right now, I think the smart money is that the NX will include a controller with a touchscreen. At the very least, Nintendo will likely make whatever the portable component of the NX is (successor to the 3DS) available for remote-streaming and controlling the base console of the NX. Also...

    Hardware Will you buy nx if nintendo offer wii u expansion for free

    Look at it this way. 100+ million people bought a Wii. Most of them will end up skipping the Wii U. If you bought an NX, wouldn't a good selling point be the ability to play all those Wii U (and possibly Wii and GC games) that you missed out on? Gamecube sales were not that great, but it...

    Hardware soldering tips

    One basic tip I have is to think of Solder like adamantium from Marvel. It must be kept in its liquid form until it is ready to be used, and then once it solidifies, it is there permanently. Allowing solder to cool and then warm up causes cracking and oxidation, and is especially problematic...

    Hardware Will you buy nx if nintendo offer wii u expansion for free

    If I were designing the consoles, I would switch the handheld to an atom processor (or something similar) and the main unit to some slightly faster x86 CPU, but I would leave ARM processors in the NX handheld (for backwards compatibility and for running background OS tasks) and a PPC processor...

    Gaming Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water Trailer [WII U]

    Actually, it is a gimmick. So were color movies. So were movies with sound. So were 3-D graphics. So were convertible cars. Whenever you launch a product in your industry which is uncommon, it is a gimmick. Making pictures that move, having sound during movies, heck even having novels...

    I went to auction at a mom/pops video game store few months ago that was closing, and bought 11 slims for $200, 1 was DOA but 10 work fine. so hella deal. Already rgh3'ed 8 of them. But most younger kids don't even want anymore, unless it plays stupid "fortnight", or newer shit.
