    Is there any way to play Virtual Console (n64) games with a Mayflash 4-port Gamecube Adapter?

    Not that I know of. Nintendont (for Gamecube games) is the only Wii software that supports that adapter AFAIK. Nintendo's Virtual Console software only works with the built-in/proprietary controllers: Gamecube or Wiimote(-attached). One of the homebrew N64 emulators might support some USB...

    Hacking The Great Quest for Wiiflow Plugins™ - A call for adventurers!

    I don't know, but MAME Hexaeco do. Indications from the thread below are that it requires first-play configuration changes. I expect the resulting configuration files are game (file) specific, so we probably can't include the required light gun configs to the plugins pack...

    weird Wii sd card formatting issues

    Okay so you could put one Wii game on this sd to usb adapter with some software, and it worked. Your Wii isn't cursed, because all of this stuff that went wrong didn't involve it. The adapter could be bad, or maybe the software you're using doesn't like it beyond a single game. In general...

    softmodded wii unable to play modded games

    ModMii is the gold standard, you should do what it says. The additional non-d2x IOS wads are likely to restore and update parts of your Wii's operating system (which is comprised of a sequence of IOSes) #15, which ModMii actually lists as optional appears to be insurance that displaces or...

    Hacking Changing the Disc Channel

    Don't know, but I can tell you that disk channel is "deeper" in the system menu than any other channel. Priiloader mod is AFAIK the only thing that makes it movable. It's possible that you'll need that depth of a modification (basically a hidden replacement system menu) to change the disk...

    Trump is the most corrupt US president in history

    Yeah, to the extent the case is the basis, they rise or fall together. I'm currently not even sure if the purported settlement was ever filed Edit: it appears the outcome of this case is optimal. Even if Trump actually had a case about his tax return leak, he permanently surrendered it in...

    Trump is the most corrupt US president in history

    I wrote a whole thing before I realized the doom for the anti weaponization fund came over two weeks ago. Plaintiff Trump voluntarily dismissed with prejudice https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/72207870/62/trump-v-internal-revenue-service/ The craziest thing about this isn't all the obvious...

    Homebrew Not64 Update

    While I'm flattered to be confused with @Extrems , you sound like a bot. At least, someone using an LLM to write/translate his posts. Dear bot owner: it's an obvious design mistake having software whose job it is to read only check the first two letters of a name. That's a huge blind spot in...

    Homebrew Not64 Update

    Think about it like you're setting up a coding bounty. It's a thing that you want someone else to do. You're trying to convince someone to work for many hours on something. You want to be able to say (1) what needs to be done (2) why it's worth doing (3) and as much preparatory work as you could...

    Homebrew Not64 Update

    Porting a graphics plugin is a big job. AFAIK icepir8's graphics plugin is the default in Project64 Legacy. That was basically redeveloping PJ64 from an earlier version for older systems. It's plausible that it's in the right power/performance range for the Wii, but so were the PC emulators...

    Hacking Emulation What is the best way to recover my Wii Shop purchases?

    I'm not sure if a local record of your Shop purchases exists. Wii might have a local record of all software that was installed on it (an aggregate of titleIDs? possibly not persistent between system menu updates). But I'm not sure anyone wrote homebrew to pull that. Understandably, most...

    Hacking Emulation What is the best way to recover my Wii Shop purchases?

    AFAIK any official means is discontinued. https://gbatemp.net/threads/how-to-legally-obtain-wii-shop-channel-games-in-2025.667443/ ShowMiiWads is PC software that can extract wii shop purchases (wads) from a Bootmii nand backup. https://github.com/WiiDatabase/showmiiwads-mod (There are...

    Shadow Maul Proving Lucasfilm Should Abandon Live Action and Focus Only on Animation

    Filoni is better than half of the directors/showrunners Disney has scraped up for Star Wars. He's a fanboy, but that's better than being a hack and disliking Star Wars. I don't think he's worse than Kennedy in his new role, for example. I also don't think he cribs from the EU more than other...

    Homebrew Not64 Update

    Yes. It's just like a page file on a computer: using space on the hard drive as an extension of RAM. It's only using available blank space, it's not affecting existing data stored in NAND.

    Shadow Maul Proving Lucasfilm Should Abandon Live Action and Focus Only on Animation

    Oh, it's no secret what happened. Lucas wanted to do more after Clone Wars (beat the pants off of the rest of the prequel era), offered to hire Tartakovsky to work in house. Tartakovsky turned him down. I love Star Wars, but Tartakovsky is way too talented to be Lucas's or (presumably...
