    Hacking Switch Cartridge - Reverse Engineering

    If by copying you just meant dumping it, then I'm inclined to agree. I always think of "cloning" a cart when someone talks about copying (creating a duplicate that actually can be run on the console) He meant it looks like a chip that has the same TSOP layout as common NAND chips. However this...

    Hacking Switch Cartridge - Reverse Engineering

    I know my fair share of mobile forensics and chip off since this part of my line of work (no not for .gov). What I wanted to say was, that dumping a soldered NAND chip was way more difficult a few years ago than it is now - with plug-and-play solutions all over the place. Right now dumping a...

    Hacking Switch Cartridge - Reverse Engineering

    That's just basic security 101. The interesting partitions on the switch's flash are encrypted and protected bye a secure area inside the cpu. Dumping a flash is something you take for granted today. Just look at all those mobile phone chip-off forensic kits that are out there. I would put my...

    Hacking Switch Cartridge - Reverse Engineering

    I would assume the following things: a) the Chip hase some kind of CPU-Protection (like a SIM-Card or pay-tv card) only giving away its contents after being challenged with the right secret. b) Dumping the contents bye tapping into an "unlocked" chip after inserting it into the console...

    New Nintendo 3DS Ambassador Announced for UK

    Does the ambassador edition come with ambassador games installed? First thought so because of the name but then I realized it's nowhere stated!

    Hacking Why hasn't Nintendo blocked the Sky3DS yet?

    Hi, Sky3ds could be blocked, since switching the game does not require the cart to be taken out of the slot. Also the original cart emulation might have some odd timings which might make it detectable. However the basic concept is not blockable. The tradeoff is the limited functionality. You...

    Hacking Gateway 3DS working on the New Nintendo 3DS.

    So obviously sharing pornography impacts one's credibility but selling flash carts in the first place does not? This logic.

    The new year has arrived (in Europe) but no Update in sight. Happy new year!

    Hacking Gateway 3DS working on the New Nintendo 3DS.

    Sometimes ISPs or larger networks have transparent proxys in place. Clearing the cache won't help in some cases.

    Hacking 9.3.0-21 Nintendo 3DS Update Released

    Hi, if the multirom selection is done via an in-console application it is detectable. The button pressing method of the sky3ds - in theory - is undetectable. Maybe Nintendo can detect the sky3ds by some odd timing behaviour like comparing read/write times from and to the cartridge...

    Hacking New 3DS FlashCart - Sky3DS firmware 9.0

    The 10 game limit might be a practical one, since you change them with a button (try that with 100 games ;-) However there is no technical reason I can think of to limit the cart to 10 games in total without being able to rewrite them. For sure WORM (Write Once Read Many) Memory exists, but...

    Hacking Wii U and Smash Stack

    Hi, there is no need for nintendo (and non hacking users) to update the different IOS slots from within the Wii-Mode. If they wanted to update the wii mode IOSes they just can do this from outside with an WiiU-Update that integrates the Wii-Mode updates. The WiiU system Menu could also...

    Hacking Virtual Console and SD-Cards...

    Ok I think I get it. Once the wad is in the nand the wii automatically thinks it's legit and just boots it up, since the nand is not "portable" (at least for the normal wii user). Because SD-Cards are easily swapped the wii checks the signiature at every launch ... ok. thanks so far - I think...

    Hacking Virtual Console and SD-Cards...

    Hi, thx for the quick answer. For my understanding: - I can launch the games from the integrated nand because I patched IOS36 (restored trucha bug) when I modded my wii - I need to patch IOS60 to launch the games from the sd card; because the wii uses ios60 for booting games from SD-card an...

    Hacking Virtual Console and SD-Cards...

    Hello, I got myself a nice 2yr old wii and softmodded it (bootmii as boot2; nand backup). I also got my USB-Launcher and HDD working. Now I want to install some VC Games. I know I can just use the VC-Game's .wad into my Wii's nand. But each game requires blocks and it takes spaces in within...

    I rather enjoy a life of taking it easy. I haven't reached that life yet though.

    Not sure about other models of Pi4 but the Pi 4 B with 8GBs OCed to 2Ghz handles PSP really great except like 1 game I found and it is playable it just looks bad lol Motor Storm Arctic something or other.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Other games I can have turned up to like 2X and all kinds of enhancements, Motorstorm hmmm nope 1X and no enhancements lol

    I will admit that one does seem more interesting than the usual Ambernic ones, and I already liked those.

    I dread the price point.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    This looks like one of their premium models, so... $150 :glare:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    To me that seems reasonable.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean since basically all the games are errmmm free lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah it's all choice and that's a good thing :)
