    Hacking Fixing a Wii without NAND info - suggestions?

    I was wondering if anyone here has any idea what to do with a Wii without any nand. I have several backups of the Wii's nand, but none of which are any real good (random code jibberish / injects). There is the off chance that one of the backups has a working IOS, but I suppose chances are slim...

    On my raid 5 array I recently experienced a bit of strange behaviour. The array is made up out of 6 disks, of which one is hot-spare. All disks are 1 terabyte of 2 brands (WD and samsung), different types (EADS / EACS / spinpoint F1 and F3) and ages. The disks all report smart OK and I believe...

    Gaming PSU fix

    Recently I broke one of my PSU's. After overloading it under way too high temps (ambient / case temp 60 degrees celcius) it obviously decided to quit. I was kind of hoping the thing would automatically understand it was overloaded and overheated and shut down itself, sadly, no dice. Anyway...

    Gaming Just for fun, a build suggestion

    Well here goes. I have to build a system for my system in law, which has to be able to run random old games and slightly newer ones on not all that high settings (and obviously function as a proper household PC to do your homework on). Software will be provided by moi and can be said to cost 0...

    Hardware crossfire hell

    So, I went out and bought me way too expensive hardware. I now am the proud owner of: asus p7p55d i7 870 and 3870x2 (times 2) The problem here is: the 3870s won't go into crossfire properly. They run in triple crossfire (according to the catalyst control center, the highest I can set them...

    Gaming 12V to 5V (PC psu)

    As the topic sais I want to change a 12V rail to a 5V one on a PC PSU I have. The reason for this is that the PSU I have only has 12V lines (it's a PSU specifically for SLI setups), but I don't need as much 12V. I currently have a 300W passivly cooled PSU installed which barely pulls my system...

    PS1/2 PS3 Yellow dog linux 6.1

    I suppose that would need a PS3 with a FW version lower then 1.8 (or was it 2.1)? Seeing as after that the hypervisor/RSX gets locked? Not sure though (hence posting here ). Should speed it up extensively, way more RAM (and using multiple cores, though that has been in there for a while).
