Another blog entry only one day after this one? Yesterday I posted about a nameless DVD±RW drive, thinking it was just some average old garbage writer. @Alexander1970 knew better and started searching for the thing. In fact it is an Optorite brand drive, model DD0203. I've sent Alex the model...
Completely unable to find any substantial difference in writing quality when comparing high speed and low speed burns, I'm still interested in finding devices, which allow burning CD-Rs at slow speed for a completely different reason. The "best" you can get in this regard on currently available...
So decided to mod my GameCube with PicoBoot. I never use it anymore, I have a Wii and Wii U that are both hacked and Dolphin works very well, just wanted to do it for fun. Picked up a $10 PicoBoot kit from AliExpress and a GameCube HDMI adapter as well since my TV lacks analog inputs. I didn't...
Some time in early 2022, I bought an original Xbox from a local shop dirt cheap, untested. Not only did it work, but so did the DVD drive. "Great," I thought, "this will be my new daily console!" As time went on, and I got into the Insignia beta, I grew concerned for the 20-ish year old optical...
Saturday - flea market day in fairground. With patience and a lot of luck this is sometimes the opportunity to get awkward things for little money. My success was limited today. Not a total failure. Got the Blu-Ray disc of Amadeus and a PS1 game with two CDs (Platinum series). Means: I now have...

OK, if you want to beat this game and get the good ending, here's some words of advice: SCREW THE HOLOGRAMS AND THE GENERATORS IN THE PAST AND JUST GET THE TIMES STONES. The special stages are kinda hard but once you get the hang of them they become piss easy. Also, if you're playing the 2011...

DS Cart Mod To Make A WiFi Board Flasher A few months ago I came across a repair/modding blog where DS carts were used as donors for repairing DS lite WiFi boards (these store the firmware). The blog showed how the flash chips in game carts and WiFi boards were interchangable, which was...

I am not sure when I got my original DMG Gameboy but man did I want it badly! Even though I only really had Tetris on it and occasionally rented a new game I loved the thing! But somehow I have never bought the Gameboy color...but also never got a Gameboy advance when it came out. I was saving...

My last post was about finding my GBA Micro again and continuing with Zelda Minish cap. The Micro's battery was empty so I had to find the charge cable first...and after I did I also found my DS. Also an empty battery...so recharged it through some very cool but hacky way! using a mostly...
So I've been having a lot of Intrusive Thoughts lately, for no reason. For example, when I think of someone, I make up this scenario where I said something horribly rude to them (like something racist or just rude in general) and I act as if I did it in real life, although it never happened...
Hi, I just programmed an image surface library for the GBA. I used the GNU arm C compiler, it is featured as a static library and looks somewhat like the SDL surface. Here's the latest source : sf.net/projects/surface-gba/files/
I'm going to do some programs for the GBA, here's the list structure for it : sf.net/projects/list-gba/files/
Decided to RGH3 my old Xbox 360 now that you can do it without buying any proprietary hardware, thanks to RGH3 and PicoFlasher. Turns out my 360 stopped reading discs, so the timing was perfect. It'll still read them occasionally, so maybe the laser just needs cleaning. I don't think the laser...

So I bring my PS2 from my old man's house into my little classics constellation. Order a component cable and a FMCB and SATA adapter, life gets in the way, forget about it for a couple of months. Come to plug it in, no signal. Google for it and apparently I have to switch to the 'Y Cb/Pb Cr/Pr'...
Welcome it is 2005 just kidding. So I want to talk about the difficulties that DS developers have (mainly because the problems i am having while making darniell for cubed pixel when cubed pixel is me) when people are like "PORT MARIO ODYSSEY FOR THE DS", it not that easy lol, says it the guy...

While I was going through a few things to cleanup...I found a little piece of gold! Or at least it's worth it's weight in gold....I think. Hahahah. It's the GameBoy Advance Micro with Zelda Minishcap in it! I was really far in that game but got stuck a little about what to do and where to go. It...
