    Hacking DeadSkullzJr's NDS(i) Cheat Databases

    Don't know if this has been mentioned before, I searched using the search function and didn't see anything. I even went back about 10 pages and didn't see anything mentioned, so I thought I'd add this in. I own a card I bought from Mod Chips Direct before they went away. Its actually their R4...

    Homebrew PCSX-Rearmed won't recognize bios file - how do I fix this?

    You only have the "auto" and "hle" options because Retroarch is picking up the BIOS. BIOS files are not user selectable in the menu. You supply the BIOS in the correct directory. After that, select "auto". It will automatically select the preferred BIOS (in this order: scph-101.bin...

    Hardware Whats the best model around?

    No thanks. I appreciate the offer, but I seem to have gotten it mostly fixed. I'm positive the NAND chip is failing because it fails a NAND verification script during the Type 9 CTRTransfer. It also does some funky things when running on the NAND chip that it doesn't do when it runs on emuNAND...

    Yep, you are a Brit. Start nagging me about how I say "warsh" and I swear to god I'll stroke out thinking you're my wife.

    Things you recently bought or got

    My wife was born and raised in Reading, England. She moved here to the US in her mid twenties to study and eventually applied for and was granted citizenship. I met her in my early 30s when she was just turning 25. We were married three years later and stayed that way until she passed away two...

    Hardware Whats the best model around?

    Holy hell, there are THREE ribbon cables and a wireless cable that goes through that hinge. This is beyond my ability to fix, although I did narrow it down to what I believe is the screen ribbon cable, or whatever the bottom cable is. It has a nice bend in it from the factory. I think that cable...

    Hardware Whats the best model around?

    I'm prepared. My affairs are in order, my ducks in a row, and I'm almost ready. I miss my wife dearly. I'm sure my kids and grandkids will miss me as well, but I've left a lasting impression on them and they've got plenty for memories and memorabilia.

    Hardware Whats the best model around?

    Nah, I'm old for my family history. We have a habit of not making it much past 65 before congestive heart issues creep up. Plus I'm fat and diabetic. I got a few years, but not much more. On that note, is there a New Nintendo 3DS (NOT XL) teardown video or tutorial that isn't in German?

    Hardware Whats the best model around?

    No, I intend to leave them behind and not sell them. I like the idea of leaving doodles, notes, recordings, and pictures for them to dig into later. I've also been studiously beating games and leaving my saves behind for them to play on. Well you've convinced me to get off my lazy fat butt and...

    Hardware Whats the best model around?

    I keep all of my consoles. I'm an old fat cat. I used to work for Magnavox home and helped build the original Magnavox Odyssey 2. These consoles could be fixed and I could probably fix them myself, but my eyesight isn't what it used to be and my paws aren't quite as steady as they used to be for...

    Hardware Whats the best model around?

    Appreciate it. However, my console also the one with a dead NAND chip. I figure fixing the thing will cost about the same as replacing it with a similar model and I still have a 2DS XL I can play on. All in all its had a good run. I'll toss it in the memories box next to my DS, GBA, Game Gear...

    Hardware Whats the best model around?

    Yes. I agree. The difficulty of fixing it and the NAND chip that has failed has simply led me to decide the thing isn't worth fixing. Which is a shame because I took care of it and have like 8 extra faceplates for it. Even worse is that it seems to happen randomly. Close it softly? POP! Slam it...

    Hardware Whats the best model around?

    My New 2DS XL has held up pretty admirably. My New 3DS has a bad NAND chip forcing me to use emuNAND. Even worse is that now the device has developed an odd issue where when you close the lid, the speaker pops loudly and the thing shuts off. I think its time to transfer all of my homebrew to the...

    Homebrew NES/SNES Emulators that let you change the save folder path?

    I have. It doesn't solve the issue of having several identically named files. This is only 5 ROMs, but imagine if I actually put the whole library on it.

    Homebrew NES/SNES Emulators that let you change the save folder path?

    Not OP, but I'll give my opinion anyway. It does for me. I'm a forgetful cat (too much caatnip in my younger days, I guess) and I like to keep things organized. I also use SNES9X and VirtuaNES and am a little annoyed with exactly this. See, I like to keep my ROMs in one folder, cheats in...
