    One year of new hardware for 3DO

    In the last 15 month a couple of interesting new hardware projects for the 3DO console came to life. I try to give you a little overview of each one. Diyer TZMVX shown a couple of days ago, a redesigned power supply for the 3DO FZ-10, perfect for all Europeans using a stepdown converter with...

    GCN Xeno Modchip and SD Flash can boot to Swiss, or Xeno and SD2SP2 can boot to Swiss?

    Both ways require a disk in the drive, either original or burned so you need a working drive and there is the risk of wearing down the laser anyway. Also they did not load swiss from sdcard because you need to implement the driver for reading the filesystem of the sdcard and there is not enough...

    Hardware WODE: openwode.rar?

    The "magic" of the WODE happens inside the Actel Proasic chip that takes care of optical drive interfacing. That chip was used in many modchips and ODE, like the WKF/WASP for the wii or the xecuter x3 for xbox. This is what you need to recreate the Wode. The NXP chip is used for file...

    Hardware WODE: openwode.rar?

    The diy wode for the wii is not diy, this is the initial prototype of the wode. And the opensource wode is only software that runs on the wode. Unfortunately the sources of the wode where never released.

    Hacking New to Xbox 360 hacking scene. Best model?

    It depends on your hacking and soldering skills. I have a jasper with cr4xl chip and it's instaboot always. The jasper are the only phat models worth your time but they can be noisy. Almost all the slims are ok but they use a cpu+gpu chip with ihs so changing thermal paste (mandatory on all...

    Disc-less hack for original Playstation

    FreePSXBoot https://github.com/brad-lin/FreePSXBoot Works in a similar way to FMCB for the playstation 2. After the Tonyhax exploit now another one, but this one needs only a memory card. No discs, no games. Compatibility is still small: only works with SCPH-9000 model and could require a few...

    GCN Xeno Modchip and SD Flash can boot to Swiss, or Xeno and SD2SP2 can boot to Swiss?

    No. You can't boot files form an Sd card with a Xeno. You can boot only cd-r. Put swiss on a cd-r and launch what you want from a sd gecko or a sd2sp2. Or use one of the many softmod with a legit disk. If your drive is not working the only solutions are an IPL replacement chip or the new gc-loader.

    GCN Has there ever been a "Homebrew Launcher Disk" for GameCube??

    There is a native hdmi interface also for wii (not plug'n play) but the most cost effective choice (hdmi interface for gamecube is not cheap) is a wiiu if you have a modern tv.

    GCN Has there ever been a "Homebrew Launcher Disk" for GameCube??

    The reason of existence of a drivechip like che xenogc is that the drives are locked. Ipl chips were out of stock for years and NOS were expensive. Now there is the hyperboot on sale but not easy to buy. Also for $25 plus S& is a waste of money since for the same amount you can buy a wii with a...

    GCN Has there ever been a "Homebrew Launcher Disk" for GameCube??

    Hard not, complicated maybe. Datel did that and recently another seller came out with a bootable minidvd with swiss on it, selling with a sd2sp for $50. https://gbatemp.net/threads/gd-sd-drive-kit-after-the-gc-loader-another-ode-for-gamecube.572913/ I think it's a crazy price but if people are...

    GCN Has there ever been a "Homebrew Launcher Disk" for GameCube??

    There is already the homebrew launcher from datel, or you can use one of the others softmod available; you only need one of the many supported games (original not burned). It is not possible to create a burned self booting disc, this is why there is no step-by-step procedure. Also many gamecube...

    Hacking Is anyone working on hacking the XBOne?

    You can download all the games included in gamepass and you have to download them before the end of the subscription. Only issue is hard drive space. :-)

    Hacking Is anyone working on hacking the XBOne?

    I used this method a couple of months ago. Have no idea if it was patched recently or not. I managed to play a couple of gamepass games months after my subscription expired but I wouldn't be surprised if there is somewhere a log to stop you from playing disconnected after a number of hours...
