    Hacking Homebrew A new way to experience StreetPass

    I literally can not thank you enough for making this. I absolutely loved the StreetPass Plaza and was gutted Nintendo didn't do something similar with the Switch. I can finally complete Puzzle Swap now!! I was literally just 10 pieces short, haha. It is a bit of a shame that everyone's...

    Hardware Is the New 3ds CPU 3x or 6x more powerful than the OG 3ds's CPU?

    The relationship between number of cores/clock speed and processing power is not linear.

    Xbox's Phil Spencer apologizes for Redfall, says great games alone aren't enough to win a console generation

    Agreed. Nintendo Switch is years behind the competition in terms of technology, connectivity and services. But it has an incredible line up of games that has helped it sell more units than the Xbox S|X and/or PS5 will probably ever sell. Microsoft have been coasting on the success of the 360...

    Mega Man World DX, a colorized romhack by Marc Robledo, has been released

    I love all these Game Bot colourisations that are being made. Well done, my friend. If any clever folk are reading this and want a suggestion for another colourisation mod, I'd love to see Top Ranking Tennis get this treatment. It's not exactly at the top of everyones Game Boy list, but I love...

    YouTube game reviewer Videogamedunkey starts his own indie game publishing studio

    Well, in reality it doesn't really matter does it? It's only a label. But the industry as a whole seems (in my view anyway) to favour the independently developed definition. I say this because there are publishers that describe themselves as indie publishers and platform holders such as...

    YouTube game reviewer Videogamedunkey starts his own indie game publishing studio

    Publishing is not development. And development is not publishing. They are two different things. Limited Run Games do not pay for the "development of the physical cart/disc" they pay for the manufacture and distribution of the physical cart/disc. That is not game development. If a game was...

    YouTube game reviewer Videogamedunkey starts his own indie game publishing studio

    That isn't true at all. A publisher can contribute to the development costs, but more likely (especially with smaller releases) will just handle the distribution and marketing costs. And even if a publisher does fund development of a small indie studios, they will generally leave them to it...

    Of course not, they were contracted to do it. That means they were paid by another company to make the game. Does that sound like independent development?

    YouTube game reviewer Videogamedunkey starts his own indie game publishing studio

    Independently owned means wholly owned by one person, or self owned as a company. And not being owned in part or whole by another company or publicly traded. It also means not owning any other company in part or in whole. This is very rarely anything other than a small studio, as that kind of...

    YouTube game reviewer Videogamedunkey starts his own indie game publishing studio

    Indie literally refers to a developer being independently owned. The same is true for independent record labels (who can also have publishing deals with larger labels). Under your definition, a game like Shantae and the Pirates Curse is an indie game. But only in North America were it was self...

    There are hundreds, thousands of indie games with a publisher. Indie means the developer is independently owned. Self publication isn't what people generally mean when they use the term indie game.

    Tutorial How to change your R4's icon and label

    Come to think of it, I can't find anything resembling the header or titles or anything like that in the ntr backup. I can find them just fine in the ROM of the game the icon is from. Maybe my backup is goosed? Or my R4 is just incompatible with this? I dunno.

    Tutorial How to change your R4's icon and label

    Haha, I really do appreciate your help. I think this has made it worse. It's spamming me with "failed to read banner" now. Perhaps I'm just not meant to have a nice custom icon and name for my R4 card, lol.

    Tutorial How to change your R4's icon and label

    Sorry to keep pestering you with this, I'm making progress. I'm now getting "struct.error: unpack requires a buffer of 2 bytes".
