Once upon a time there was a little Sinchen.
On one day she decided it was time to install custom firmware on her New 3DS XL. She had been pushing this along for months.
She prepared her R4i 3DS Gold with ntrboot and put all the necessary files on the console micro-SD to use the ntrboot...
Warning: Using unsupported legacy Windows versions online is dangerous and could – in the worst case in conjunction with a VM-escape exploit – lead to infecting your host computer. This is – admittedly – not very likely because current malware in the wild probably does not have compatibility...
1. My devices:
If I buy a computer (this means PCs, smartphones, consoles, TVs,…), I may do anything with it I like, unless it violates laws. Clearly it is not allowed to smash a laptop onto another person’s head, or open the battery to dispose the chemicals into the wood or using it for...
1.Preliminary remark
As my avatar shows, I like the Mother/Earthbound series – although it was never released in Europe until the Wii U VC version. I got my Wii U at the beginning of this year and bought Earthbound and Earthbound Zero some months ago – and knew immediately I had missed something...
The first part is a little theoretical. I try keep it as short as possible – but nevertheless the text is quite long.
If you’re interested in mathematics, computer science or rhetoric you should have heard about a logical fallacy named “circular reasoning” or “circulus in probando” (took that...
Last time I ended the text with “Backup copies are justified and technically needed, period!” I will always stick by this opinion although none of my Nintendo games/consoles has failed so far. But there’s more than Nintendo.

It took me literally years to force myself to make an account here; my first account online ever (no Facebook, no Twitter, no Google, no anything). I experienced a lot of bad things(1) and screwed up in my life in almost every way(2) and therefore I generally feel useless(3). In my opinion (1)...
Nintendo told us: “Backups are not needed.” Now they are in fact admitting (on the German website) that cartridges and consoles can fail (surprise, surprise).
Rough translation of their claim (I have a link and a screenshot but I’m not sure if it is a good idea to post either of them): “If only...
Last time I presented a short text snippet taken from an instruction booklet (Donkey Kong Country) and only briefly commented it. I repeat my translation of this text:
"Warning
Copying Nintendo-games is illegal and violates German and international copyright laws. This is also valid for...
This is the first time I upload a detailed personal opinion on a topic. That alone is not easy for me. Plus: I have do to it in English. Although I read a lot in English on the Internet and watch videos in English, I’m not quite comfortable about writing or even speaking the language myself. I...
