    Gaming Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Lenght

    Hacking QUICK/NEWBIE QUESTIONS here!

    Seems to be a bad dump, since Dolphin freezes on the same places and the hash doesn't match. :/ Gotta redump then...

    Hacking QUICK/NEWBIE QUESTIONS here!

    Forgot that, sorry. I installed it to base 56 with rev21010. Tried d2x-v10-beta52 (to base 56) as well, but no luck either. Both freeze with a black screen after movies or a match. Does it have something to do with USB Loader GX's NAND Emulation? I put it on off. I'm going to try it with base 57 now

    Hacking QUICK/NEWBIE QUESTIONS here!

    So, I've dumped my retail version of Brawl (PAL) and copied it via WiiBackupManager to a USB stick. I've installed USBLoader GX and d2x-v10-beta53-alt into 248. In USBLoader GX, I selected IOS 248 as game IOS. Brawl starts, but freezes when opening videos or after the credits (which seems to be...

    Hardware Changing the voltage of the GBA link port

    Indeed, the light is brighter, but it won't boot GBA games that way. I filled the small gap on the cartridge with a piece of paper and tape, but it boots into GBC mode then. Would have been too easy :( That's what I considered too, but I can't find a way to open the wormlight without breaking...

    Hardware Changing the voltage of the GBA link port

    The original GBA has a link port on top where the voltage changes depending whether a GBA game (3.3v) or GB/C game (5v) is inserted. I use one of the old wormlights to illuminate the screen, but since the voltage with GBA games is lower, the light is also notably weaker than with GB/C games. Is...

    Windows 8 thread

    No, because I think that the Startscreen is as good as the old Startmenu. As I said, there is no difference in workflow, only the design is different. Press Win+Q and you have a folder-like overview of the Startscreen, or just press Win and enter the first few characters of the program you want...

    Windows 8 thread

    There is no Aero in Win8 anymore, so no differentiation between "Aero" or "Basic" (as in 7 and Vista). The UI is now hardware accelerated in any case, which means that a GPU w/ DX9 support is required at minimum. In Win 7 you could use Basic if you hadn't one, but the number of systems without...

    Windows 8 thread

    Which similarities would that be? Vista had both performance and driver issues at its release (both which are solved today btw.), Win ME had severe stability issues and the system restore feature had several functional faults such as the saving (and subsequent restore) of virusses and malware...

    Misc [SoftAP]How to enable the use of WEP?

    I tried several different programs (SoftAP, Connectify, hostapd on Linux) for quickly opening a WEP AP, but never got it to work. The SoftAP feature of Win7 afaik only supports WPA2 due to security reasons. WEP is deprecated today since it is easily hackable, thus there is little interest in...

    Windows 8 thread

    Too bad the version in Win8 is a downgrade compared to the original MSE. No on-demand scanning from the context menu, reduced configurability and subjectively worse performance during filesystem operations.

    Windows 8 thread

    It did. But its not cited as improvement, but merely that there is zero difference in workflow compared to Win7. The only improvement is that the search is split in several categories (Apps, Files, Settings etc.). People probably didn't use it before because they were used to either the...

    You compare a preview release running inside a VM to a stable RTM version installed in a normal environment? lol.

    Gaming Is Pokemon really fun, or just compulsive?

    Wish they would go back to the "Gotta catch 'em all" formula. Since you basically get only half a game (with the other half requiring WiFi events or several others to trade with or unlock stuff), Pokemon has become completely uninteresting for me. I don't even mind if it's the same all over...

    SNES games for Casual Gamers.

    True This is perfectly fine, but since you only can save every couple of levels, you have to repeat them if you run out of lives. I haven't played Portal 2 (but 1 and every HL game), but I assume that there's a checkpoint in every room. And you have quicksaves.

    @SylverReZ, atleast wiimmfii went fine although people only use it for Mario kart Wii
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    At least if they ban you for cheating, get another Wii. They're cheap as chips.

    Remember when RiiShop was a thing?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    not really
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    It got shutdown because somebody "accidentally" leaked the database for the amount of people using the beta.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    RiiShop is the laziest way of downloading Wii games. Did somebody not think of this through?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    although i ended up accidentally changing my nand with no way of going back bc i didn't know you needed a gamecube controller to restore it (i have a wii minus/1.1, which doesn't have gamecube controller support)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, I think you're talking about the recovery mode that the SaveMii used, and also was to restore softbricked systems.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    If your NAND was hardbricked, then just buy another Wii. Or go with the dirty NAND flasher method.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    and if i find the sd card i have my NAND backed up on, i can not only restore the NAND if i solder the right part in, but i can also put my NAND on dolphin, then i can play dolphin online, like PMEX Remix or MKWii Riibalanced
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Brb
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, Oh yeah, that was a thing too. Dolphin does support Wiimmfi.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah you just need to put your NAND backup with wiimmfi on it
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    ngl i feel like if a bunch of my friends have wiis and know how to get wiimmfi and back up their NAND, then we could do a PMEX Remix tournament
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    maybe even add UMVC3/DBFZ and make it a biathlon/triathlon
