    Homebrew RetroArch Switch

    I'm trying to do this with Fire Emblem. I have a file from gamefaqs named "fire-emblem.7812.sps". I copy it to my Switch's SD card in the directory /retroarch/cores/savefiles and rename it to "Fire Emblem.srm". When I try to start Fire Emblem through the mGBA core, the save files are all blank...

    Homebrew RetroArch Switch

    I'm playing a GBA game on retroarch using the mGBA core. There is a save file in the .sps format that I would like to use with the game, how do I import it? It looks like retroarch uses files in the .srm format, is there a way to convert it somehow?

    It says you need to have experience in soldering. How do I learn how to solder?

    Homebrew I think I bricked my Wii U. How to fix?

    Hello, Recently, I opened a homebrew app that installs titles on my Wii U (I think it was WUP installer?) and accidentally installed something by mistake (I think it was the homebrew channel?) Now whenever I boot up the Wii U, I get the error message "Missing all OS specific addresses". How do...

    PS1/2 Best way to buy a PS2?

    I would like to play some PS2/PS1 games, and I figured that since I have a CRT in working condition the simplest way is to do so is the original hardware. What's the best way to get a PS2 for a reasonable price? I intend to homebrew it so I can play games off a hard drive.

    Hello, Recently I asked about N64 emulation on Wii U, and was told that it's generally better to VC inject if you want to play n64 games on wii u. I want to play Mario Party 3 with friends on Wii U VC inject using gamecube controllers - how do I go about doing this? Not familiar with hid to...

    Emulation Best N64 emulator for Wii U?

    Sometime ago, I homebrewed my wii and played some n64 emulated games, but found that I had trouble with running some games, like Banjo Tooie. Now, I've homebrewed my Wii U and its vWii using Plaiect's guide, and I heard that there are N64 emulators that can be installed on vWii and run games...

    Hardware 3DS not turning on - should I buy a new battery?

    Alright, that seems to have fixed things. I guess I just messed up my luma installation somehow when updating to 10.1?

    Hardware 3DS not turning on - should I buy a new battery?

    Should I use the old versions of Luma and SafeB9SInstaller linked in your post, or the most recent ones?

    Hardware 3DS not turning on - should I buy a new battery?

    Recently I've found that my 3DS will not turn on. When I press the power button, all that happens is that the blue light comes on and turns off. Since I can't even boot into luma or godmode9 by holding start or select on boot, I assume this is a hardware issue. (And yes, I did make sure it was...

    Homebrew Thinking of setting up homebrew, need advice on what to buy

    no it's $100 plus tax and shipping, so buying a used one on amazon would be cheaper

    Homebrew Thinking of setting up homebrew, need advice on what to buy

    So does anyone have experience buying used gamepads off amazon? It would be cheaper to do that than to pay for nintendo's repair service

    Homebrew Thinking of setting up homebrew, need advice on what to buy

    I already tried to resync the gamepad following nintendo's instructions, it didn't work. I borrowed a friend's gamepad and synced it- it worked perfectly with my wii u. So I know there is a problem with the gamepad. Yeah, a cheap 500 gb SD is really all I need. Thanks for the tip.

    Homebrew Thinking of setting up homebrew, need advice on what to buy

    Hmm, I didn't realize you couldn't actually play Wii U games off the SD card. So I will definitely need an HDD. Should I buy a full-size external HDD, or a portable HDD + Y-cable?

    Homebrew Thinking of setting up homebrew, need advice on what to buy

    So I have a Wii U gathering dust (the 32 GB model, bought it with the NSMBU bundle) and I'm thinking of installing homebrew. However, there's an issue: the gamepad does not sync, and I'd like to be able to use it for off-TV play. So should I either send it to get repaired by Nintendo for $99.99...

    @AncientBoi, Yeah, believe you can do PSP games as well. But a Pi5 is much powerful in comparison.

    Not sure about other models of Pi4 but the Pi 4 B with 8GBs OCed to 2Ghz handles PSP really great except like 1 game I found and it is playable it just looks bad lol Motor Storm Arctic something or other.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Other games I can have turned up to like 2X and all kinds of enhancements, Motorstorm hmmm nope 1X and no enhancements lol

    This looks like one of their premium models, so... $150 :glare:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    To me that seems reasonable.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean since basically all the games are errmmm free lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol

    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah it's all choice and that's a good thing :)
