    Steam Machine waiting list goes live, starting at £879 with a 512GB SSD

    Oh buddy, I rather use my phone for streaming than buying this. What is the target audience anyway? Those who can afford it most likely have a much better PC and >1000€ is not a price I'd say everyone is able to pay. Make it like 600€ and the steam sales most likely would go up the roof with...

    Steam Deck gets a major price bump, more than 40% increase for US buyers

    Maybe it is an out of stock issue but buying the cheapest oled version costs just slightly below 1000€ in my country. A bug or it is a money duplication glitch. idk what to say anymore.

    @lordelan Thanks for the interesting read!

    Sony announces PlayStation Plus price increase for new customers starting May 20

    In all honesty 1$/month increase is not that bad compared to 50% increases in rent, energy and transportation in just a few years. Still I won't resubscribe. Was day-1 subscriber until 2021. The low fps targets and fixed resolutions are a dealbreaker.

    Hacking WiFi chip failing and can't boot. is it possible to enable Airplane Mode by editing system save files directly?

    Bummer that it didn't work writing a patch. I hoped it would be as easy as intercepting any communications except init and return always 0 or something like that. A delta of both Nand dumps probably won't get you far, unfortunately. The Switch does so much logging and settings/whatever are in a...

    Hacking WiFi chip failing and can't boot. is it possible to enable Airplane Mode by editing system save files directly?

    I am a developer and have no slightly clue what you are trying there. Atmosphere is a series of complicated on-the-fly patches for the Horizon OS. There is no magic fixed offset to patch since it doesn't alter the wifi sysmodule (I am 95% sure). Either you are a very big brain or you have no...

    Hacking WiFi chip failing and can't boot. is it possible to enable Airplane Mode by editing system save files directly?

    Maybe booting a nand dump of the console with an emulator, change the settings there and write the dump back to your console? I don't have any experience with Switch emulator, I don't know what tooling they are shipped with. Hardest way would be injecting the files manually into the nand dump...

    Hardware Homebrew Others Great year for the MiSTer FPGA project so far

    I think you misunderstand the situation I tried to demonstrate. I am not the target audience since I am not even remotely interested in a fpga. Like I said my friends do love retro stuff but they are not techy enough to do it themselves. In my case I'd just order a clone on aliexpress (they...

    Hardware Homebrew Others Great year for the MiSTer FPGA project so far

    I saw the Mister prebuilt package on the site and thats what my friends would buy. They want a final product. The analogue 3D costs on paper 300$ but for us it is 250€ + shipping + taxes (19% Mehrwertsteuer + 19% Einfuhrumsatzsteuer + X% for the shipping company dealing with custom regulations)...

    How about mentioning the hefty price tag of 500$? Whats wrong with FPGA - I mean I get it you have to develop the hw and write the sw but making it expensive like a current gen console while the hw costs like 50$ at most and vibe coding from hell won't convince me to buy it for whatever reason...

    GameStop CEO proposes $55.5bn takeover of eBay

    We don't have any game stores. Either electronics or some drugs stores that's why eBay is the first and only choice here in Germany for used games. There had been movie renting stores selling used stuff but they all went extinct. GameStop will ruin eBay for sure when they aquire it.

    GameStop CEO proposes $55.5bn takeover of eBay

    How is it possible that they still exist? They closed pretty much every store In EU (Next to the former GameStop is a drug store selling games at up to 80% discount. GameStop never had a chance; the drug store still sell games) Dear Americans, why are you supporting their scam tactics by buying...

    Hacking Homebrew Progressive loss of wifi and joycon function on emummc?

    I'd guess the wifi module failed. And guess what? Bluetooth is the same chip. So if wifi stops working then it would explain why your Joycons failed. The chip itself is soldered onto the mainboard of the switch. That means repair is impossible without proper equipment (BGA reballing station...

    Reports indicate Sony's plans to move away from first-party PC releases

    Wow such a surprise. PCs are so much more powerful than consoles. I'd rather play with real pathtracing, 240fps and graphics on Ultra than having a shitshow with 60fps top (most games "don't support" 120fps), bad frame pacing and low to mid graphics quality. At least they spend the console a...

    Switch releases of Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen confirmed to contain event-exclusive ticket items

    It can literally mean butt, but (pun intended) the more appropriate version.
