    The Switch Flashcart Thread (Mig Switch etc.)

    Like I said, a PC tool is not tied to the version of the Switch Firmware. I was on SXOS and that's not been updated in a long time. Newer games inserted cannot be read though some can presumably be patched to run on lower firmware. I considered Atmosphere, but it's lack of ability to run images...

    The Switch Flashcart Thread (Mig Switch etc.)

    So... has anyone ever received one of these from Modded Hardware? I purchased the dumper tool since that uses a PC and will therefore presumably work regardless of the firmware the switch is on. On Tuesday June 4th 2024 my order #4962 was marked as fulfilled, but without any tracking...

    PS1/2 Having trouble accessing PS2 hard drive via PC and PFS Shell

    I found a solution: They changed the syntax in later versions, so accessing now requires getting the DeviceID. In Windows PowerShell I used the following command: wmic diskdrive get Caption,DeviceID,InterfaceType Which told me that the deviceID was: \\.\PHYSICALDRIVE11 Which means I had to...

    PS1/2 Having trouble accessing PS2 hard drive via PC and PFS Shell

    Yes, I understand that I CAN mod the PS3 to run PS1 and PS2 games, but I specifically purchased a PS2 so that I wouldn't have to do that and that's what I am trying to mod right now. Like I said, WinHIIP has some serious bugs, but reading more about it the bugs seem a bit easier to understand...

    PS1/2 Having trouble accessing PS2 hard drive via PC and PFS Shell

    Unfortunately, WinHIIP has some serious reported bugs hence why it's marked as obsolete in places. If it works for you, great, but I would only try that as a last resort and only from a computer that I don't mind reformatting if it gets screwed up. That's what I use doing with my PS3 FAT, but...

    PS1/2 Having trouble accessing PS2 hard drive via PC and PFS Shell

    Yes, it does use a special format which is why you have to use special programs to access the file system. In my case I am trying to use PFS Shell, which stands for "Playstation File System Shell". There's also a program with a GUI, but it has a known bug of causing all connected drives to be...

    PS1/2 Having trouble accessing PS2 hard drive via PC and PFS Shell

    Since there's no way that I'll be able to repair my PS3 I decided to go with a PS2 for older games and a PS3 slim for PS3 games. I purchased a used modded PS2, but it came with a broken DVD drive so I can't rip my games onto it and it can't connect via a network cable either, so I figured I...

    CRC check values for DIOS MIOS 2.11?

    I absolutely HATE people who push things on people who explicitly say they don't want to. It just makes me want to use it even less. Please STOP trolling topics that have specific questions by pushing something else onto them. This isn't a new problem either. All over this forum for the past few...

    CRC check values for DIOS MIOS 2.11?

    Hi, I recently decided to pull my Wii out of storage to play GameCube games since Nintendont on Wii U will randomly not recognize the Gamecube controller adapter and I was tried of fighting with it. I kept it together with it's SD card and hard drive, and even found my original gamecube game...

    Hardware Absolute fix to 160-1400 error

    Thanks for this! A few weeks ago I encountered this error. I loaded up my Wii U, briefly saw the icons show up, then got a black screen with error 160-1400. I called Nintendo about it and their only advice was to buy a new console. When I asked about the games I purchased for the Wii and vWii...

    Which physical part(s) determines the eid_root_key?

    So changing the APU would result in the keys changing and therefore prevent the drive from being read? If that is the case what are the odds of a reballing helping where a reflow wouldn't?

    Which physical part(s) determines the eid_root_key?

    A reflowing wasn't effective. They think it needs a new APU, but they don't have the equipment to replace the APU. Before I drop the money on mailing this to someone else I need to know if replacing the APU will change the eid_root_key or now. Does anyone know?
