    ROM Hack [WIP] Club Nintendo Picross ENG translation

    It's fully solvable, I just fired it up and solved it to be sure. I did use some edge logic, and I suspect it was required. If you aren't familiar, it's an advanced technique not usually required in the US Jupiter Picross games. Take a look at how it works and try to solve it using that...

    Hardware I tried to convert Nkit to iso...

    In the GUI, when you select "Recover to ISO", uncheck the "Delete Recovery Match Failures" checkbox and it should keep any ISO, valid or not.

    Hardware I tried to convert Nkit to iso...

    You're missing the recovery partition, so it can't verify the resulting iso as valid. You can either try to get this recovery partition, or if you don't care about having a verified iso, you can find the option in nkit to keep the iso even if it isn't verified. There are ways to download...

    Hardware Wii Startup Disc prompt

    Bushing wrote an article about a system like this almost 10 years ago. Of course, he was more interested in the technical aspects, including the bare NAND dump, but some info is in there about what he did to get it. Depending on how technical you are, you may be able to use some of this info?

    Hardware NKit :: Recover to Redump Images :: Shrink and Preserve Wii and GameCube Disc Images as Playable

    What I did was turn off the "Delete recovery match failures" option, then recover my rips to iso, they said Match Failed. I then split this iso and the re-rip iso into 50MB chunks, and compared these with a comparison tool I use called Beyond Compare. Some of the chunks matched 100%, some of...

    Hardware NKit :: Recover to Redump Images :: Shrink and Preserve Wii and GameCube Disc Images as Playable

    So I'm still in the process of archiving all my rips, but I have enough of an impression to post my thoughts/questions. Wii I thought all my Wii rips were 1:1 verified, but I found a corrupt one, potentially just from bit rot on my old hard drive that failed at one point. I had moved...

    Hardware NKit :: Recover to Redump Images :: Shrink and Preserve Wii and GameCube Disc Images as Playable

    Thank you for this program. As I breifly mentioned last night, I have been waiting for this release. Some years ago I dumped all my GC collection, at the time I had a smaller hard drive and needed the space, so I scrubbed and 7zipped them. I've never redumped them but always wished I could...

    Hardware NKit :: Recover to Redump Images :: Shrink and Preserve Wii and GameCube Disc Images as Playable

    I've been waiting for this program to come out and I just found out you created a new thread, I was following the old one and had no idea it was out already. That could be why this thread is quiet, maybe a post in the old thread instead of just editing the first post?

    Hacking [RELEASE] Wii U USB Helper, a small eShop for Windows !

    So disabling AVG did the trick, WiiU USB Helper ran, updated, and I reenabled AVG. Now it will still say there is an instance running, but it now allows me to override it and force it to run. I will probably add an exception so I don't need to do this, but it's working again. You can add AVG...

    Hacking [RELEASE] Wii U USB Helper, a small eShop for Windows !

    Thanks, I'll check it out when I get home. I have AVG, which I guess is owned by Avast now, so that's probably it.

    Hacking [RELEASE] Wii U USB Helper, a small eShop for Windows !

    I did too, but I didn't list that in my post because I have another computer that I run WiiU USB Helper on that I also updated Windows 10 on that still works fine. But maybe it is related. Hikari06, the alternate installer works, but doesn't pick up my old install, it is setting it up as...
