Holy cow that was a pain, reminds me of dismantling an Xbox 360 where you have to pry plastic apart. I broke every single tab on this thing and finally got it open after almost an hour. It was well worth it for the sata-usb adapter though. Works perfectly attached to my SSD. I'll be cloning...

I was too lazy to boot up my PC, so I connected up my PSP to my Wii U with a mini-usb cable and transferred Sega Genesis games to it using WiiXplorer on vWii. It won't work if you connect it before loading WiiXplorer though (especially if your PSP is hacked and you tell it to charge while in USB...

I managed to fix a PS3 around a month ago by remarrying a BD from another console to this one. I also ripped Sonic 06 cause why not?

I bought an original XBOX at Goodwill the other day and when I booted it up, it would randomly freeze while loading. It had the game Shrek 2 in it. (score!) I also had another XBOX that had video issues so I swapped DVD drives between them and lo and behold it worked! I'm going to softmod this...

I feel like a sponge that soaks up personality traits from other people. Then later I wringe it out and become empty again. I feel like I don't even have a personality sometimes. If you want a good example of how I feel, look up Parasyte the Maxim where the protagonist loses all emotions.

So, I got this fat PS2 from a thrift store recently and I decided to take it apart after not getting video from it. I take it apart, clean it, put it back together.. I connect it up to the TV and still no video, then I notice something. I'm not getting power to my controllers! I messed up by...

I feel like I don't do enough work and I hate myself for it. Like I need projects to feel worthwhile, but I always find roadblocks to most of them and never finish. Then I end up forgetting all the projects and browse Facebook. I need to take notes and be more organized.

I used this to extract it. https://github.com/Thealexbarney/xenoblade2-research You'll have to compile it yourself. I used Visual Studio 2017 community edition to compile it.

Ripped music from the game, just gotta figure out this bf2.ard file that's 10 GB in size. Night Temp.
I'm trying to figure out this weird file extension called ssd. On the Wii game Tatsunoko vs Capcom, the bgm is in ssd file format and there's also an srt file that I guess loads it. I wish there was documentation on this.
Man, what a long title. I've been using Kurrimu and other such programs from @IcySon55. I've managed to extract textures and menus and other images so far. I really want to translate this game to English! Maybe someday.

I'm feeling withdrawals since I use Discord everyday. I guess because it's friday the 13th.
So, I had my 3DS on for a while, running different games. Decided to load Homebrew Launcher, but instead of it failing to load, it went to 3DS Download. I turned it off and back on, was normal again. That was kind of trippy.

    I know the pricing of electronics nowadays isn't "how much it actually costs" but "how much we can get away with", but putting up a poll is just cynical.

    that game's engine is really fucking intensive so it runs like literal shit on xbox 360 and ps3
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Nah I'm getting value creep again. I look at a $50 console "but for just a few more dollars you could get XYZ" and I end up considering the Steam Deck.

    The big leap in all things tech is when carbon based chips start hitting.
