These game are already in English. The news says "untranslated" but they meant untouched. Only the name of the games is in Japanese on the title screen, everything else is in English.
The problem is, you don't start from the schematic for the chips, you start from your understanding of the chip. If every FPGA cores were not emulation, then there would literally be no glitches not present in the original console.
And even then, it would still be emulation because your FPGA is...
For everyone complaining about the price, it's a 2600 pieces lego kit. That's the usual price for a lego set this big, it has nothing to do with the licensing or Nintendo being greedy.
It's 100% emulation. You can argue it's hardware emulation instead of software emulation, but at the end of the day the FPGA must be programmed based on our understanding of the chips it's trying to emulate. You can't magically tell the FPGA to emulate a certain chip, you need to literally...
But even then you couldn't just use an off the shelf usb thumbdrive, put a file on it or reprogram it and then hack your PS3 with it. You needed something that could execute code.
You can't use a USB thumbdrive to make a BadUSB or a Rubber Ducky USB drive. If you look carefully at this...
Nintendon't isn't an emulator. The only emulated things are controls, memory cards access and data reads (since it's not reading from a drive). Everything else only leverages the fact that the hardware in the Gamecube and the Wii is very similar.
But then you won't be able to rebuy the shovel after getting the boomerang, the piece of heart or the stone tablet (which costs like 1200 rupees). All in all, if you don't want the Thief name, you shouldn't bother stealing at all.
Exactly. If you update from ChoiDuJourNX or SX Installer you won't burn any fuses. But make another backup of your NAND now with the burnt fuses.
And if you want to play Zelda, just use Atmosphere for now, it's compatible with 9.0.
I'm pretty sure you can downgrade, but you will ALWAYS have boot into a CFW where the fuse check is disabled, you won't be able to boot on original firmware.
Also from now on, you should update either with ChoiDuJourNX or SX Installer.
No you can't, the Satellaview only distributed games for short periods of time. If you wanted to play BS Zelda for example, you had to connect at a precise date and time to get the broadcast.
Nope, I searched to confirm, if the hardware has drivers for ARM you can emulate x86 but Microsoft doesn't support OpenGL or x64. I don't know about DirectX, I'm not sure if any hardware running on ARM can implement that but couldn't find a confirmation either way.
A thumbdrive (unless it's a REALLY high quality one) will be really slow. If you really need the USB port you can get a powered USB hub.
Also, if you want that USB port for the Gamecube adapter, you can plug only one of the two plugs and it will still work, you just won't have rumble (not sure...
It's both the hard drive and the enclosure. You can't take a drive, switch its enclosure and still have it work, the USB controller ID is used in the encryption.
