    Nintendo Virtual Boy Game Mario Tennis, Planned 2-player mode restored

    The link cable port is on the bottom of the headset unit, as seen in this diagram from the manual: http://i.imgur.com/agN0rBO.jpg Tabletop is one option, since there's a stand but I found it worked best lying down face up with gravity keeping it pressed to my head. It wasn't the type of VR...

    Homebrew 2DS Questions.

    I followed this guide to install CFW on my 2DS: https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/wiki Part of the guide (section 4) involves flashing your Sysnand to 2.1 so you can dump your OTP, even if you have a 2DS. The 3D Screen Check is only an issue if 2.1 has to run initial setup, but the guide...

    Hacking Gateway 3DS working on the New Nintendo 3DS.

    The alternative does not look quite as portable as a single Gateway card and a handheld.

    Homebrew Possible nag screen remover homebrew?

    I never linked a NNID on the 2DS I formatted, so it was no problem there. My ninjahax and homebrew were intact after the format.

    Homebrew Possible nag screen remover homebrew?

    I can confirm that formatting with 3 fake wifi connection presets gets rid of the nag screen without updating the FW, but you lose all your eShop software, saves, and streetpass progress in the process. You can't get on the eShop to redownload because you haven't updated. I was only able to take...

    Nintendo 3DS system update 4.2.0-9 blocks flashcarts

    I noticed that in Puzzle Swap, I buy pieces with playcoins and I seem to be getting ones I need at an increased rate since the update, even though I'm down to the last few playcoins-buyable pieces. Has anyone else noticed this?

    Hacking Disc Channel requires "Wii System Update" to play

    Since you're already using ModMii, the fix is pretty easy. When you ran ModMii, you probably installed Priiloader as one of the steps. Turn off your Wii and then hold the reset button while turning it back on. Priiloader should then load. (If it does not load, you may still have an installer...

    Hardware Wii Remote Plus - Beware of knockoffs

    The thing is, anyone can be selling these at full price. I do not feel ripped off because these cost $15USD each instead of $40USD for a genuine and they work well enough for that kind of money. Filtering ebay ensures that you only buy from domestic sellers, but these are disguised as genuine so...

    Hardware Wii Remote Plus - Beware of knockoffs

    It's a mechanical issue with the knockoff d-pad. When you press up on the d-pad it rocks between left-up and right-up way too easily. In Mario 2 you are not attached to the vine or ladder like you would be in most games so a mistaken left-up or right-up causes you to hop off the vine or ladder...

    Hardware Wii Remote Plus - Beware of knockoffs

    I think I stumbled across the knockoff manufacturer's web site. http://www.honsoncn..../nsort11-1.html The boxes shown on their pages are identical to my knockoff boxes. The photos are not very high resolution so I can't see much detail but on the red one I can almost make out the border of the...

    Hardware Wii Remote Plus - Beware of knockoffs

    I'm glad you found a supplier that sells them for a good price to Argentina. After some testing I have found that the D-Pad is a little crappy on the knockoffs. I was playing Super Mario Bros. 2 (U) on FCEUGX and I was climbing the first vine on 1-1 to get to the first dream door potion. I was...

    Hardware Wii Remote Plus - Beware of knockoffs

    The writing on the box is Japanese, not Chinese. The fake blue's battery door also has some Japanese writing. I do not know for certain that these are made in China, but if you order them online, they usually ship from Hong Kong or China. Also, Nintendo has China building official Wiimotes since...

    Hardware Wii Remote Plus - Beware of knockoffs

    I would order that from someplace else if you can. $164.99 Argentine pesos is worth $40 USD, which is enough to buy a real Remote Plus here. I don't know much about the South American market but it looks like knockoff prices should be closer to $60-70ARS. How much does a real one cost in Argentina?

    Hardware Wii Remote Plus - Beware of knockoffs

    If you remove the film the plastic underneath is still shiny. They are not trying to hide a flat plastic finish with glossy plastic film. I only brought it up because this film is absent on a genuine. They did a pretty good job of matching the plastic textures of an original finish. As for its...

    Hardware Wii Remote Plus - Beware of knockoffs

    Since I posted those pictures I have been able to get an official door to barely fit on the fake but there are still gaps along the edges and the tabs still don't quite fit unless I do a bit of filing on the excess plastic on the fake Wiimote side. I could probably make a battery pack fit at...

    Hardware Wii Remote Plus - Beware of knockoffs

    I plan on doing that when I get a tri-wing screwdriver. It irritates me to no end that they at least bothered to copy that detail.

    Hardware Wii Remote Plus - Beware of knockoffs

    I have a few more pics and observations to add, including a smoking gun. Before I get to that smoking gun, here is the other fake's label. As I mentioned above, this label was applied very unevenly. The inside of the battery doors are also different. On a genuine there are numbers stamped on...

    Hardware Wii Remote Plus - Beware of knockoffs

    The other day, I got my ebay order in the mail. I bought two Wii Remotes Plus for only $15 each and free shipping. These are the same size as a regular Wiimote but they come with a built in MotionPlus sensor. Although they seem to work fine for now, it has become clear that these are cleverly...
