    Hacking Feedback Homebrew Updating BootMii to v1.5

    Simply run again the HackMii Installer (you can either use an exploit again, or just add it to the HBC - no icon or meta needed - and run it from there) and install BootMii :)

    EF Omega DE save quirk

    That game is famous for not saving except that it does (in other words, it supports eeprom saves, but the retail version skimped out on the chip), so it makes sense for it to have a default save type of none - maybe you just need to manually select it? As for from what I know, after the Omega...

    Gaming DS Lite power button schematic

    um Kirchoff's law - if two points are connected, they're electrically the same (we now know this is strictly true in theory only, but it's still true enough for most practical purposes, like the classic laws of motion when relativity is more accurate) In other words: two points that are...

    Microsoft releases the source code for MS-DOS v4.0 on GitHub

    That's because there are 2 operating systems called MS-DOS 4... One is the successor of DOS 3.31 :) and it's fine, just unremarkable (uses more RAM by default, most significant innovation in the kernel is modern-definition-of-FAT16 up to 2 GB - in 3.30 it was 32 MB which for the time was still...

    Is this an old or a new bootleg?

    Ebay follows their own "VERO" standards, which like the DMCA requires the complainer to be, or be affiliated with, the """victim""" :) (Like the DMCA it's also very abused, but differently from it the seller can't just reply "I confirm this is bullshit, please immediately restore my content as...

    Is it possible to install Wii games as wads?

    slccmp is still a half-TB :) And the real problem is not size (the smallest Wii disc, which of course is the only physical VC release, would easily fit - and there are at least 2 very different implementations of emunand) but optical drive reads being completely different than working with the...

    Does anyone in the 20s or younger enjoy NES games?

    I did when I was 10 or whatever - of course I didn't really know what a NES was, just that this PolyStation 2 thing my neighbor had has a bunch of games including a less frustrating large screen version of Mario Deluxe a friend in elementary school had :D

    Homebrew How would you feel about music albums on the Nintendo DS?

    Do "the Chinese" even know how to make DS cards anymore? (DS bootlegs were a thing in the early DSi age but for over 10 years all that's been made is the lowest tier flashcards + factory reject microsd + a sticker not vaguely trying to hide it) Apart from that... sure it sounds stupid but hey...

    PS1/2 Questions about OPL devices compatibility and speed

    I had a CECH-C PS3 with the PS2 GPU, so it can run ps2_gxemu which is much superior, statistically, than the software emulation (ps2_netemu) any PS3 can do... except for OutRun 2006 having terribly broken graphics on gxemu, guess what it's one of the maybe 7 PS2 games I care about :) :( (In fact...

    PS1/2 Questions about OPL devices compatibility and speed

    In theory alone, yes - commercial titles expect 100% control on both CPU and coprocessor (IOP) side, so any additions (like OPL drivers, but could also be standalone GSM, action replay, etc) come with a risk of conflicts, and in particular OPL needs a lot of code in proportion to the 2 MB IOP...

    Emulate DVD Read Speed when loading games from Hard Disc - Original Xbox

    I think that, like OPL on the PS2, some bioses allow you to force IDE speed - though of course that's no "more accurate optical drive emulation" (there's no "inaccurate optical drive emulation" either, folder-type game backups run directly from the HDD as is possible by default in most computer...

    question about burned discs

    Cioscorp was exactly that (a CIOS, just the one as at that time there were no modern multi-base CIOSes, duplicated to cover all official IOS "numbers"/titleIDs), in fact at the time it was superior because 1- it works without Priiloader (actually at that time it would have been Preloader or...

    Emulation What are the emulation capability of a DSi? (2024)

    I just remembered that the first DSi enhanced emulator accessible to the masses is in fact a commercial one - Sonic Classics Collection, which despite still being inaccurate (it's a single-purpose special version of JenesisDS after all) does have a noticeable performance improvement in DSi mode :)

    Is this an old or a new bootleg?

    Since over 10 years have passed, I can say I did that in elementary school, with of course VBA + all Pokemon games including "Diamond" being the biggest hit - of course, at that time, 1 PC per decently off family was just becoming the standard and ADSL still a luxury often paid by the minute No...

    Emulation What are the emulation capability of a DSi? (2024)

    Not intrinsecally - sure it has double the clock and quadruple the RAM (so it can still be beaten on both fronts by a DS/Lite with the right accessories! :D ), but someone needs to sit down and do the work to use them And while since 2015/17/18 (depending on soldering skills and preinstalled...
