    Hacking Hardware failed to init eMMC error, then works fine?!

    I've never messed with the internals of my unpatched v1 switch. I rebooted to payload (hekate) to update Hekate/Atm for the 16.0.1 FW and I got this funny error about being unable to init eMMC. Hekate wouldn't even read the eMMC in the Console Info tab. I just shrugged copied the new Hekate and...

    Anybody else find Mercari sellers are idiots and time-wasters?

    Have you ever bought something on Mercari, only to find the seller doesn't respond and you have to wait a few days for your money to come out of escrow? This happens to me over and over on Mercari and I'm just about fed up completely with that crap store. I suspect what happens is : 1. Mercari...

    Hacking Gaming Astroneer sinking vehicles bug: how to easily retrieve?

    Astroneer has a super-annoying bug where your tractor/tralier or buggy vehicle suddenly disappears into the ground when you're not looking. I totally loved this game until my large tractor and trailer loaded with loot sank deep in Sylva while I was away on Glacio harvesting hematite. I tried...

    Review Animal Crossing New Horizons and No Man's Sky are really the same game; sorry no tag for satire

    Don't let all the spacey treknobabble mumbo-jumbo fool you! These games have a lot in common. Your Base is like your house in AC: decorate it and can customize it with things you buy and craft. In NMS, you fly to aleatoric planets while in AC you fly to aleatoric islands. You can customize your...

    Lakka linux reboot-to-payload configuration options

    In the Lakka GUI, there is a "Reboot" choice on the menu which reboots to Lakka unless you hold down VOL - to make it reboot to Hekate. Is there a configuration file buried someplace where I can change this behavior? ie. Make "Reboot" send you back to Hekate w/o the need to hold down any...

    DBI says "unable to find a suitable USB drive"

    I plugged a FAT32 USB drive into the dock and it is browsable in DBI, Goldleaf, and that filemanager that comes with the homebrew menu. However, if I try to dump a title to a USB drive in DBI (ver 439) it says "unable to find a suitable USB drive." I've tested several 32, 64, and 128GB sticks...

    Homebrew Did FW 15.0.0 actually break anything?

    I upgraded (on emuMMC partition) my a half-broken(dodgy USB C port), banned Switch I don't really care that much about. I tested a handful of games I like, retroarch, daybreak (used to upgrade from 14.1.2), mgba, and everything seems fine. Is there any reason not to upgrade my good Switch...

    Hacking Does RCMLoader One care about SD card format/size/speed?

    I got a bigger card (256GB Sandisk) for a banned Switch I recently bought. Hek/Atmo was preinstalled (no emuMMC) on an included exfat 128GB Onn brand card and worked fine. So I just copied everything to the bigger card (which I had formatted FAT32 using TegraExplorer) and when I tried to start...

    nyko 5000 "power pak"

    I got what I think is a defective one as it will not charge 2 different v1 Switches. It charged up ok, at least according to the LEDs on the back, but the power button does not turn on the Switch (as seen on YouTube) and the on-screen battery level/charging indicator never says the Switch is...

    more/better categories of "other handhelds"

    The sub-categories of "Other Handhelds" "are really out of date. Dingoo and GamePark are long dead, bordline impossible to find, and are super expensive on that cold day in hell when you spot one on eBay. However, there appear to be many new ARM and MIPS SoC handhelds that are still alive. With...

    Gaming GBA SP (AGS-001) no sound

    I have been trying to get the sound working on an old GBA SP and nothing seems to help. It is not a contact problem with the speaker: I tried 2 speakers and tested both of them with a multimeter (both are about 8ohms). I tried cleaning the power/phones port and there is no sound coming out of...

    Hacking EZ Flash JR RTC jumps 2 years after every save/load in Prism 229

    Everything seemed fine while playing Prism build 229 for the first time, but then I notice the clock keeps going up by 2 years+ every time I save, poweroff, power on, "backup" (copy SRAM to SD?), and start the game. I see there is now build 235. Still, 229 ram fine in emulators.... First test...

    Hacking In search of Joey Joebags (or similar Save/ROM reader +writer)

    I can never find this thing in stock at Benn Venn's Shop. Is there something similar available in North America? I'm looking for a device that can back up saves from GB/GBC/GBA games and I want to experiment with reflashing some of the trashy Chinese Pokemon R/S/E knock-off carts. I have...

    Hardware GBA IPS screen v2 power

    So I just got one of these and I'm mostly impressed. I bought it with a pretrimmed GBA case because I'm not wild about dremelling stinky plastic.(The horrible shavings get up my nose and everywhere.) Anyway, it was mostly easy to install following the funnyplaying youtube video. It looks pretty...

    Which terminal do you actually use every day?

    I was looking at the, err, desktop show and tell thread in this forum and I noticed a lot of people's (Linux) screenshots included a terminal window. Are you a minimalist who uses xterm or do you want all the bells and whistles of KDE's Konsole? I started with xterm but surprised myself by...

    Is the new wonderswan color backlit screen worth it?

    I tend to think no, because it murders the battery life (<2hrs, according to The Chinese Guy ) and requires some cutting up of the case. The price is also insane. Nevertheless, I'm curious to try it out because the original screen really is unusable in almost any lighting conditions. Is there...

    Hacking 333Mhz kills battery, polyfuse?

    I mostly use gpsp on my PSP and have never had a problem with the (modded 2000 mah attached to board pulled from el cheapo) battery before. I was trying out the RACE! Neo Geo Pocket Color emulator and suddenly my PSP shut down and would not turn back on. I took out my multimeter and saw that...

    Gaming Are some old filetrip GBA homebrews infected with malware?

    I was looking for a few good old games and Firefox gives a malware warning for Pocket Raider 2 zip file. https://gbatemp.net/download/pocket-raider-2.9254/download?version=9254 Can someone look into this? I downloaded and unzipped the file in a (disposable) VirtualBox VM and it seems normal...

    Homebrew Harvest Moon Tale of Two Towns needs AP patching for nds-bootstrap/TWLMenu++

    The game will run without it, but bad things happen: your animals get stressed at festivals. I'm not the first persion to notice this, but it may get forgotten as this game has failed to take the world by storm. You can AP patch the game using "DS Scene ROM Tool v1.0" found at filetrip...

    Homebrew DSI CFW problems: ACWW: town song plays at random times

    I was trying out animal crossing wild world launched off the SD card on a DSi with Hiya CFW and TwilightMenu. I think everything is up to date: I just set up this cfw using the guide site yesterday. The only other problem I've seen is the menu gets stuck reading .launcharg files in the dsiware...
