    Wii #0827 - Wario Land: Shake It! (USA)

    Finally got around to trying this out. My first impression: Nintendo has an effective, unintentional way to combat the iso loader that's going around: Long, unskippable streaming videos. I just sat through half an hour of stuttering audio and video, and am now just about to start the game...

    Hacking Chiip Opensource Modchip

    I got my parts in from Futurlec on Saturday, and finally sat down to have fun with them tonight. Decided I would only put together the programmer tonight, and (success!), I managed to solder the hell out of my right hand. Yep, Cadex doesn't mention it in the install docs, but burning your...

    Wii #0004 - Rayman Raving Rabbids (Europe)

    I know it's just a matter of time before every single game is dumped at this rate, but it's still fun as hell to come back 15 minutes after learning Wii Sports was dumped to find another one.

    Google buys YouTube / N Korea 'nuclear

    Perhaps these two events are related...somehow? And yeah, to expand on what has been said in many different places, somebody would have eventually bought YouTube. Google was just ensuring that it wasn't any of its competitors to do so.

    Comic Book DS V1.0 Released!

    I've seen a lot of examples of people doing it either way. Each method has their downsides: Unbinding the book leaves you with a messy pile of pages that can be scanned easily, while just scanning the book as is leaves you with a usable book, but the image tends to be a bit distorted and darker...

    ROM Hack Comic Book Reader?

    You're right, that does look rather promising. Can't wait till he finishes the conversion software. Until then, I'm gonna check out DS Organize, as OrR suggested, because manga and comic books really need something useful like this. And besides, I've got some X-Men to catch up on.

    Man, I remember playing the arcade version of this in a fit of boredom a couple of years ago (yay for MAME). Interesting to see it again.

    I know that saving works for me (SC miniSD, latest firmware and patching software). The option to load is on the title menu, the second option down (labeled つづきから), and it's highlighted by default after you've got a save. If that option doesn't appear, then it would seem to be that something is...

    Hacking DSLink announced

    In theory, you should be able to copy your save over to the new card and have it work just fine, assuming you use the same DS.

    Yes! I loved bringing the first one to this video game music concert (Play! A Video Game Symphony, Chicago) and noticing the download count go up and up and up while waiting for the show to start. I can only imagine what I could do with this one.

    I'll grab it real quick and see what I can make of it. EDIT: Okay, from what I can tell, on the screen that pops up when you change the ???????? option in the options menu, the controls are pretty straightforward. When you have the ball, use X to shoot, hold X to do a Dash Shot, Y and A to pass...

    Gaming Culdcept on the DS?

    I vaguely remember seeing a demo for Culdcept for the Sega Saturn, Japan only, a long time ago. Going from there, it doesn't seem impossible for it to go to DS, just unlikely. Of course, I am not clairvoyant, so take that with a grain of salt.

    Hacking how to convert "rar" files for Supercard

    I would suggest using a program such as WinRAR or 7zip to unrar the file (which judging by the filename, is just a rar file renamed to zip, which doesn't quite work the way one might expect it to). Then, it should spit out a .nds file (among other files, like cover art and a release .nfo), which...

    ^^ndstitle-1088^^

    I assume it's something like, "Mini-game your way to a fantastic comedic performance!" or something like that. Of course, I haven't yet been able to find it in any of my usual sources, so I can't be sure.

    Hacking NDS to get official Opera based web broswer?

    I would assume that the cart will probably contain some expansion RAM of some sort, for exactly these purposes. Of course, that'll make it even more difficult to get it running on flash carts. Either way, I'm excited about it.

    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.

    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.
  • 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 :)
