    Stereogram Thread

    This is the first time I have ever got one of these to work! I had not realised that the apparently repeating pattern was not supposed to disappear, but to be wrapped around the 3D scene. TBH I thought they were a bit of a scam - there's no way that these splodges could possibly resolve into a...

    Hello, Im looking for new switch games to play

    Yeah, loads. What have you already played? Without some context, it's going to be difficult to recommend something relevant. DekuDeals can alert you when a game you want goes on sale. Else, eBay or local second-hand shops (Trade & Play in Birkenhead is good if you happen to live near Liverpool...

    Xobx

    But after 360° you're facing it again? You would then need to back away.

    Gaming Hello, Does anyone know a good switch dock other than that huge thing that comes with nintendo

    I got my v1 Switch cheap because the dock was broken. I bought a GuliKit one that is very compact and provides one USB-A port for peripherals as well as the USB-C for power and the HDMI out. No problems in the years since. And being open-face is handy for accessing the touchscreen when setting...

    Hardware TMR joycon stick tension - I will do science to it!

    I still use original joycon in Ring Fit Adventure, and if they happen to be attached to charge when I need to use the Switch handheld (installing games, updating homebrew) rather than docked. Got fed up with both the original sticks and the free set of generic white sticks that they sent me with...

    Waluigi Appreciation Thread

    Waluigi as a seal! Did you ever feel like NES Pinball could be improved somehow? Did that way of improvement involve 110% more Waluigi? If so this is the hack for you! Everything has been replaced with Waluigi, from the seals, penguins, and chicks on the main table to Mario and the Princess...

    Games that can NOT be patched to run on 19.0.1?

    The only game I've tried playing that wasn't patchable was Jelly Form (c.f. the only game I have tried and succeeded in patching was Metroid Prime 4). I bought it legitimately, but downloading from the eShop in OFW needs the latest version. I downloaded it illicitly from a couple of different...

    Hacking Widescreen cheats for DS games on 3DS

    Sometimes games are very insistent about which screen to display things on - presumably setting this flag again on every frame rather than just at the beginning of an event and assuming it will stay the way it's set. E.g. the treasure-fishing minigame in Phantom Hourglass. You seem to have...

    Hacking Widescreen cheats for DS games on 3DS

    Are you using TWLMenu++? If so, there is a toggle for which screen goes where in the L+down+select menu. You wouldn't even need the widescreen code turned on.

    Things you have fixed/modded recently

    Ridiculous Back Buttons IV: The Girdering I like having the ability to lounge with my arms wherever, which joycon (like the Wiimote+nunchuk) let you do, but pro controllers don't. But I also prefer having four back buttons like the GuliKit KK3 Max, so I can e.g. work menus (A & B) / run and...

    What is the best game controller to use these days?

    GuliKit for four back paddles: KK3 series has left stick on top; TT series has d-pad on top. They have their own MagLev rumble motors. You can map gyro to the right stick, but it only works when you hold ZL or L. There are three sensitivity levels (though you could choose different levels for...

    Copying User and saves from hacked switch1 to switch2

    Bonk! I think what you would do is: Add a user on OFW on Switch1. Link it to your Nintendo account. Download all your legally purchased eShop games / insert the physical cartridges, so blank save files will be created. Boot into CFW on your sysNAND and inject the save files. Boot into OFW and...
