    Hardware Has anyone managed to sharpen the triwing screwdrivers?

    I was wondering if anyone has successfully managed to sharpen there triwing screwdrivers? I've gone through my 4th one of these today so just ordered another. They're cheap enough but it seems as awful waste to throw them away. If it was a normal screwdriver I'd just sharpen on a knife stone...

    Hi. I'm just wondering if backup saves can be used across different regions. It may be game specific. In which case I'm trying to transfer the Japanese river city girls 2 to the US version. I know I did it once on my 3ds by backing up the save and renaming the folder with the backup so the...

    Hacking Nintendo's handshake protocol

    This has been asked before. But I'm just wondering if anyone has managed to hack Nintendo's hand shake protocols? I think Nintendo would change them if everyone was playing online via a third party server... But I'm thinking if someone knows maybe we could start small and just forward say epic...

    Can you re use a mod chip? (Especially on OLED)

    Hi I'm wondering if a mod chip could in theory be reused to hack several units. I doubt this is possible. This idea is for never turned on brand new oled switches. Do they have burnt fuses? If not you could hack (chip obviously). Downgrade to firmware v1. From there would it be possible to...

    Ok so I've bought a Wii U off ebay. I figured theyre cheap enough and my new TV only has HDMI (using an adapter on my old Wii).

    Hardware Hacking Homebrew Is there a gamecard or cart hack?

    Is there a new chip that uses the game card on the switch??? I've seen sometime advertising this seems like a scam. There's a lot of people who say this isn't even possible. From my understanding it could be but there's separate fw for the game card reader so you'd need to hack that anyway...

    I'm having some trouble with the puae emulator on retroarch. Does anybody know the best settings and best kickstart Rom to use? I've got it working. It's initially too quick with crackling audio. However if you hotkey into the quick menu and back out the game then works. I've tried 3...

    Can anyone recommend a good joycon??

    Hi Nintendo joycons have issues. Mainly connecting and drift... The pads don't have these problems. But if you want it portable the pad isn't much use. I recently bought some cheap (nasty cheap) joycons off eBay. They have one "advantage" there not wired. No disconnection issue. This...

    Hacking Does anyone sell joycons with jig mod.

    I've seen some of the (more permanent) RCM mods. Including modifying the joycons. Does anyone sell these pre done (ideally retail and factory manufactured like the 3d printed jig). But a 2nd hand one would be ok from an eBay shop as long as it worked well. I just think this would be better...

    ROM Hack Is a reeboot payload NSP or XCI possible?

    There's been similar questions to this. But has anyone written, working on, or thought of "Reboot to payload" as an XCI or NSP file. The idea being it'd basically be a Fake Game so it'd exist in OFW. So it would allow you to boot into Custom Firmware even when OFW (no homebrew) is running. The...

    Gaming Can a free shop title be downloaded to a PC?

    I'm just wondering if the freeshop / tinfoil shop games can be downloaded to a PC? Is this allowed? I know they can be dumped as nsp once installed. What I'm trying to do is keep a few locally in case the links die. Simply pasting the url doesn't work. Although you can confirm if the link...

    Homebrew Does anyone have *.gct library/database?

    This is probably a big ask... But I'm wondering if there is a precompiled library of gct files? Making them is a long process and the auto download no longer works. I'm not after any game in particular. I just want to put the files into the codes folder (I think usb loader already looks...

    I want a 120hz 4k tv but crazy how more expensive the 120hz over the 60hz are. Or even more crazy is the price of 8k's.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    No real point since movies are 30fps
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Not a big movie buff, more of a gamer tbh. And Series X is 120hz 8k ready, but yea only 120hz 4k games out right now, but thinking of in the future.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Mostly why you never see TV manufacturers going post 60hz
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:

    I got my Dad a firestick for Xmas and showed him those 3rd party sites on Kodi, he loves it, all he watches anymore. He said he has got 3 letters from AT&T already about pirating, but he says f them, let them shut my internet off (He wants out of his AT&T contract anyways)
