Judging from the replies above ;P,
I'm guessing that there's nothing that can be used to spoof the Eshop to be used on older versions?

what does it change to know when ?
Tomorrow ? you have to wait until tomorrow.
next month ? you have to wait until next month.
whatever the time to release ? you have to wait too

asking will not make it release faster.
Why not just wait patiently, and it will be released one day. The developers don't know "when" it will be released because it's not complete yet.
you can't tell a release date if if doesn't working correctly, and if it works there's no need to wait to release it. (unless there's a reason, but they will tell it)

So I was trying to dump the introduction video
Code:
treyarch.bik
in Black Ops 2 but Cafiine is being strange about displaying the path:

All other paths start with
Code:
/vol/content
but the video I want to dump says
Code:
video/treyarch.bik
and before it says
Code:
german/video/treyarch.bik
so what's the correct file path? Maybe even
Code:
/vol/content/german/video/treyarch.bik
Since dumping requires "imitating" the file system structure, this makes it tedious.

I would guess /vol/content/german/video/treyarch.bik as that seems like the full path rather than a directory. Or you could just imitate all three different paths. Making folders isn't really all that hard to do.

TCP Gecko.NET is not working for Black Ops 2:
https://github.com/wiiudev/pyGecko/issues/2

Yeah, but it should be unambiguous. Also none of the mentioned paths actually worked. ;)

@wj44
I still can't dump the FSA on TCP Gecko.NET:

The program becomes unresponsive and then disconnects from the game. Nothing is listed. At the time I tried reading the FSA, the game was at the starting screen.

Try in a menu inside the game

Hey guys!

I've been looking into Vpad.rpl because of pure personal interest and VPADSetLcdMode() sounds very interesting to me, I imagine it'd be possible to create a "tweak" that can turn the gamepad's display off and make it possible to use it purely as a controller, for apps like Netflix or games where you don't need the display, button-triggered switching between states even.

Unfortunately I'm not able to test it myself because my console is on 5.4.0, so is there anyone interested out there with an exploitable console? I'd love to hear feedback on this.
I documented the interesting methods as far as I got here: http://wiiubrew.org/wiki/Vpad.rpl

I should be able to throw something together that does exactly that next week, but debugging without being able to run it locally is a pain of course. I'm sure we could manage that somehow, though.

Thanks for documenting this API. It is worth noting that GX2SetDRCEnable() should accomplish the same thing, but that may just go directly to VPADSetLcdMode().

    I haven't been gaming for such a long time. Been mostly busy with sleep, hardware tinkering and checking GBAtemp frequently.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Hope you've had a good morning.
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    It's going alright thanks :) I know what you mean with gaming time. It's precious where I can get it these days.

    I think that's why I focus on just enjoying single player experiences that aren't too competitive

    There's also this thing where I'm hyperfocused at night and cannot get to sleep.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Indeed. I've been working on getting this Infecutus chip to work on my PS2. But after soldering, I realised that a plastic piece was missing from the power ribbon cable to the power and eject buttons.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Now I could go with soldering the contacts from the cable to the connector on the mobo, but doesn't sound like a good permanent solution.
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    Man, that's beyond my brain :rofl: I'm no good with hardware for now. I'd like to get into hardmods in future though
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Maybe start practice soldering. Get a cheap-ass soldering iron and follow some good YouTube tutorials.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Least my experience has gotten better than over a decade ago. My iron would constantly bump into components and break them.
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    Sounds good. I actually did soldering but like 16 years ago for school so uuuuh probably rusty haha
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Same here. I did soldering at school from a teacher who I honestly liked since he had plenty of good electronics experience.

    @Maximumbeans, I had a friend who had a glass chess set for their birthday.

    It was like all clear and fancy. Tbf I'm not too experienced with chess, but would like to learn someday.

    That sounds really cool
