​

In this week's episode we discuss Tonyhax, the new PS1 softmod backup loader, as well as the DSi's arm7 bootrom finally being dumped, two major events in the homebrew and hacking community. Also, this episode we're joined by special guest RyRyIV, who, being a longtime Game Pass user gives us his thoughts about twenty Bethesda games coming to the Microsoft service, as well as the potential for Xbox to have exclusives other than Halo. Finally, we end the podcast with some listener mail, a new segment reserved only for instances where we run out of topics to discuss.

Socram is just my real name backwards! And yes, the alligator is Snap Shot from Skylanders.

 

[Valery0p]

thanks for having a proper nickname that's pronounceable

Thanks for mentioning this news on the front page

Ps: In reality I purposefully made my nickname with an ambiguous spelling, especially if those who read it don't have english as their main tongue =P

I can't wait to find out that the DSi ARM7 bootrom has been planting bad stuff on your system
---
You could actually play Skyrim on DSi through DS2Win. It would look terrible and play terrible, but it would technically work
On that topic, I hope a new DSi exploit is found, Memory Pit (the DSi Camera exploit) is flawed in that it requires the camera tutorial to be completed. If your camera is broken before it can be completed and you don't have access to Flipnote Studio, you're out of luck.

Anyways, great episode guys the editing is amazing!

Well yes but that's because your DSi is broken.

The DSi has a worse problem that the Wii when it comes to an easy to brick nand, and unlike the Wii, the DSi is not powerful enough to run an emunand.

Overall the DSi was an "in between" device, between the DS Lite and the 3DS..Also like the Wii it had its own digital games.

Is only a matter of time until the bootrom gets fully decompiled.

Maybe it can be used to make a very accurate DS and DSi emulator by reverse engineering it?

Hiya CFW actually provides something similar to an emunand, and most automated installers only work if you are trying to install stuff on the SD.

Maybe it can be used to make a very accurate DS and DSi emulator by reverse engineering it?

You can bet on that, Aritosura (melonDS main dev) is alreadyin contact with Pcy; also I'm hoping that, knowing the DSi has a "boot from cartridge/ maintenance mode" triggered by a specific button combination like the 3ds, we can get something like NTRboot for the DSi not only to install unlaunch, but more importantly to have a legal way for everyone to dump the arm7 and the (still missing) arm9 bootrom, especially for emulation purposes.

EDIT: there's actually an update about the arm9 bootrom

 

[RupeeClock]

Socram is just my real name backwards!

There was a boss in the mobile version of Terraria that was exactly that.
https://terraria.gamepedia.com/Ocram

They removed it from all versions though, because it wasn't up to the standard of the bosses features in all other versions and updates from the primary developers.

 

[Jayro]

I'm wondering why the ARM7 bootrom being dumped wasn't front page news, as that's huge...

But I do understand Chary is going through a lot right now with her cat(s).

Guys, please don't do reader questions anymore. If you run our of things to talk about just make a shorter podcast.

@AlanJohn did you put me and @RyRyIV on the same audio track for the sole purpose of giving credence to the conspiracy that we're the same person?

The real question is who's the alt?

It's Eric. And if he tells you otherwise, he's a liar.

My dude, @AlanJohn I’m making waffles this weekend. I’ll PM you one. I’ll probably make bacon too. The coffee will be ready.

That looks delicious!!!!
Is it a fresh waffle or one of those store-bought frozen ones?

I made them from scratch. The eggs are from our chickens in our backyard.
