    Hacking UDPIH: USB Host Stack exploit + Recovery Menu

    Can you please provide an update on if support for old FW may be a possibility in the future? The quoted post is from July 2022 and looking through the entire thread your last mention of old/outdated/incompatible firmware was in January 2023 (#518). In addition to the other people in this...

    Welcome to GBAtemp v8!

    My recollection is that the old search function allowed you to specify a starting point anywhere you liked in the tree structure of the forum (to search all forums at and below that point), so I'm surprised you had that problem. If you're referring to manual browsing as searching, then yes...

    Welcome to GBAtemp v8!

    You like that countless labels are wrong so that the filtering doesn't work as intended? Do you also like it when you plunk text into a dysfunctional search page (think Amazon and DuckDuckGo) only to receive a barrage of off-topic results and little or nothing that you actually wanted or...

    Welcome to GBAtemp v8!

    Yep. The problem more generally is how they automatically split everything in forums like "Emulation and Homebrew" into two different filter categories. It's just chaos. "Let's randomly guess where each topic should go and maybe (probably not) fix each one as individual complaints come in...

    Welcome to GBAtemp v8!

    It's a complete clusterfuck. Either it's a mistake that will mercifully be fixed (very doubtful based on the filters that have been defined) or zero meaningful thought was put into it. An OPTION to merge multiple categories of interest together to make custom sub-forums is the sane approach...

    Hardware Using 5tb seagate for Wii,WiiU, & GC

    Unless they changed something in the past year or so, the Western Digital 5TB "easystore" USB HDDs (so, not your Seagate) can be reconfigured to show up with 4KB logical sectors and 32KB physical sectors (instead of the default 512-byte logical sectors and 4KB physical sectors). This allows MBR...

    Hardware Power supply

    AC inputs are not all the same voltage. Power supplies don't all support the two most common input voltages. The OP is specifically interested in if Wii power supplies are "universal" in that they support both of those input voltages. Laptop power supplies aren't all universal either. It's not...

    Hardware Power supply

    That's interesting. I'd also be interested in knowing for certain if there's any truth to this both for Wii and Wii U. It's worth keeping in mind that there were multiple manufacturers of original Wii power supplies, so unless they all used exactly the same design there could easily be...

    Doctor V64 connection issue

    My recollection is that the white-shelled connectors have a thicker connector on the top (N64-V64 interface) than the gray-shelled connectors. They didn't look that much different when I did a side-by-side comparison years ago, so it's close, but not close enough. The white connectors (and white...

    Hacking Yaosm 3.0 config disc files

    Anybody know where the Yaosm config disc image files, source, or both are still available? The final version was 3.0 and the image files were distributed in archives that are each about 178 KB. I did find "yaosm_config_eur.rar" but I haven't found "yaosm_config_usa.rar" and...

    Hacking Trucha Bug and IOS Problem

    While it is true that some counterfeiters repackage some used gaming products in new shells and new packaging I don't know if that has been done with any Wii Remote models. Even if that has been done with Wii Remote Plus controllers it would mean that removing the shell and having a...

    Hacking Trucha Bug and IOS Problem

    That's great, thank you very much. :) At a glance, the black is definitely fake. The "Original Nintendo Seal of Quality" on the back of the box is a really bad copy, especially the Nintendo logo. There are other problems with the printing on the box as well. The lack of a sticker in the battery...

    Hacking Trucha Bug and IOS Problem

    I appreciate you sharing that info, but it doesn't verify anything about the legitimacy of what you purchased. I already provided a clear example of a seller receiving overwhelmingly positive reviews when they're selling known counterfeit items, so the seller's reviews aren't a good indicator...

    Hacking Trucha Bug and IOS Problem

    Where did you purchase brand new Wii Remote Plus units just a few months ago that makes you trust that they're official? If it was from a collector, a friend with very old spares, donations to a thrift shop, or something like that there would be a decent chance that they're genuine. If you...
