Until I see an actual video showing it boot up Wii U backups I am calling Bull Sh*t on this. And if by some miracle it is true my only question would be why the hell has the 3ds not been successfully hacked yet?
I'm guessing because you don't remove the whole drive every time you change disks on a Wii U but you do take out the whole game card every time you change games on a 3DS and so having a permanent chip say to the Wii U that it just switched games is a lot less fishy than a flash card telling the 3DS that it switched games when the 3DS can tell that nothing's really been removed.

(now that I think of it, though, there's gotta be more to it than that since if it were like this they could just make a flashcart that you have to pull out and switch games on a little screen or something before putting it back in ... or just cut all the connections internally to make the 3DS THINK it's been removed.)

* High-speed USB2 interface
Wii U doesn't use typical DVDs as the data storage medium, and therefore needs more bandwidth to bypass optical disc storage than what was required with the Wii. There's a chance that their claims aren't even physically possible, due to the bandwidth limitations of USB 2.0. I'd have an easier time believing all of this, if the so-called hack used USB 3.0...

You're probably right. Personally I have yet to see a game that makes me want to put down money to even buy a Wii U. I already own a 3ds and love the games that have been released for it so far. Although given some time I am sure I will eventually get suckered into buying a Wii U for the new Zelda game.

Blu-ray's spec requires a transfer medium of 54 megabits, and can theoretically reach 400 megabits at 12x read speed, on the outer edge of the disc (according to the blu-ray.com FAQ section). USB 2.0, on the other hand, has a theoretical max throughput of 480 megabits.

Optical discs are fucking slow. They're still in use, however, because they're incredibly cheap.

And if by some miracle it is true my only question would be why the hell has the 3ds not been successfully hacked yet?
"This one guy I know can reach the top shelf, why can't this other?"
"This one guy gave into interrogation, why won't this other?"
"This one house has the bathroom near the bedroom, why doesn't this other one?"
"This one girl I know will blow me, why won't this other girl?"
etc.

The Wii U and 3DS have almost nothing in common (that other devices don't) other than being made by Nintendo. Different architectures, different OS, different storage medium, etc.

Lol, which?, guessing you meant yes to f0f. HHS. I went on Irc and then megazig said plan was Linux over vWii with access to ram/GPU of Wii U but nothing else. Marcan did not confirm but said plan A failed. Denial, but I had private convo. and was flamed for it. Made sense to dodge piracy. It failed so Marcan said" Standard" release was plan but no timetable.

They did the work and hold the cards here. Look up Sven from Marcan twitter and pics of hardware used on Wii U. I found, thanks to satansdeciple (?) that Wii U nand could be dumped. Nobody contributed to thread I made. Curious if anyone dumped this eMMC (nand) and/or drive firmware. Guessing firmware was dumped for WiiUkey. Guess only. Hung around 360 scene and technical sites/discussions like RGH plans. Superslim PS3 has eMMC nand. I follow trails.

Does no good without decrypting eMMC but nobody says they dumped it and if it is encrypted (or decrypted). Man-in-middle to get Wii U drive info to make this chip? Weak security and/or firmware can and was dumped. If so, firmware hacks make buying this toy unnecessary;-). See why I ask questions? F0f are not only ones ripping Wii U apart but others are hush hush. I stopped chasing IRC and sites.

25GB per game still is a lot and probably too much for countries were piracy is a real problem,

In countries where piracy is a real problem, bootleg copies of games are openly sold on market stalls and in shopping malls. Download speeds aren't really an issue!

    I used to drink alcohol fairly often. Never to the point of it being a problem, but like 2-3 beers with dinner each night, or a few cocktails or glasses of Scotch or something. Started smoking/vaping weed a lot a few years back which killed 90% of my interest in booze. Now I stopped smoking/vaping weed as much and just deal with life the boring way most of the time

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    I only drank alcohol once and it was by accident
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    I didnt know it was beer, it was on a juice bottle
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Yeah, I'm addicted to smoking, sadly. It's very addictive but I wish I didn't start.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    May just order a 5700g for a nas/emulation set up tbh
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, atleast you were asleep on 4/20

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, you played that Mario flash game called Mario 63?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, No, but I've seen it on Vinesauce's stream.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, that game is one of the reasons i met newgrounds bc the full versión of it is in that site
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Also somebody is remaking it
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, the other game where I found newgrounds is new york shark

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Spoke to Tom Fulp the other day, if he can find his old Newgrounds site content like the mini Flash animations from the 2000's that played on the portal.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    So far no response, but he did say that he'll find them. Wayback Machine doesn't have em.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, atleast the 1999 versión of pico's school is avaliable (the difference between it, the 2006 versión and the 2016 versión is that the speed of the game depends of the speed of your computer and that it had the og soundtrack)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Another being Pico VS Bear, the original 1999 version before Jim Henson filed a DMCA takedown.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    The 2006 versión was made when the flash portal was made
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Many people thought it was lost, but was discovered that he hid it on the same page.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, although the "secrets" system where the game was has been removed. Also pico vs uberkids had a netplay versión that was shutdown, although the swf file has been found
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Nope. There are two download buttons on the same page, where you can download the original under a file called "bear.exe". "bear2.exe", however, is the updated game in a Flash projector. P.s. this was on the archived Pico page from 2000.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, That's been there for a long time, too. People who search for lost media don't look hard enough lmao.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, also the pico 2 demos used to be only for the newgrounds patrons but they are on internet archive too (https://archive.org/download/picos_school_2)

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Iirc the demos were removed from newgrounds in 2022
