    GTA V port?

    Unfortunately, that's not at all on the radar, a recomp is not done yet, and from what it sounds like, the code base was a nightmare. I wouldn't hold my breath.

    The man who invented POP UP ADS apologizes for everything

    That's from 2014, why are you posting this now? This is nothing extraordinary as it was an obvious use of a feature provided by web browsers for almost as long as they exist.

    Don't beat yourself over it, bread slicers are really convenient. I've seen some high tech slicers in Lidl (that thing feels like entering a cheat code), but this is all you really need and it makes nice and consistent slices. Awesome! I recommend going for GBI if you can load homebrew...

    Mattel is selling a LEGO-like OG Xbox Set for $380

    WOW, what?! This is more like it! It actually replicates the components inside of it, and it's much better priced! It's also great to see that it has no deadly clips and doesn't have to open "like a suitcase" (quoting Modded Warfare), I don't envy those opening up an original unit for the first...

    Mario Kart 8 Deluxe gets free Switch 2 update, adds eight-player multiplayer, higher resolution visuals, camera support, and more

    FREE update upgrade for a previous Mario Kart title? That's unexpected for sure. If it were EA, the upgrade would cost as much as the game itself, they try really hard to discourage anyone playing anything but the latest title in the series (and never update them, even to fix security issues)...

    Need Help With The Switch Membership

    In that case, when you run out of funds, I advise that you get an NSO code rather than eShop balance code. It lets you not enable recurring subscription in the first place and doesn't require you to add a payment method, at least in EU eShop. As for what you can do to get the sub going in the...

    Mattel is selling a LEGO-like OG Xbox Set for $380

    Not my point. I'm comparing the two because of the massive difference in price for what is essentially just a show piece, from the standpoint of a modder (I mean, this is GBAtemp after all). Likewise, I'm sure that most people buying Lego Game Boy wouldn't stand a chance at modding a Game Boy...

    Mattel is selling a LEGO-like OG Xbox Set for $380

    Kudos to the designers for hiding dioramas in the set, but for something that looks just like an Xbox but costs way more than a second-hand unit with mods, I see no point. While I haven't done it myself yet, modding an Xbox should be just as, if not even more fun than assembling this, anyway...

    Need Help With The Switch Membership

    Did you try purchasing on the web variant of eShop/Nintendo Store? It's possible that on-console eShop and web variant behave differently in this regard.

    Will Switch 2 finally kill off stick drift for good?

    It feels like they kept dismissing complaints again, and again, and don't seem to be eager to change anything even after getting fined for it. Perform a repair or get one done when the time comes rather than buying a new set, that's probably all you can do. All OEMs still use...

    GC USB controller adaptor + 8BitDo Retro Receiver = nothing?

    It turns out that's a problem with the WUP-028 clone (FY-L-1208). I found a documented case of daisy-chaining WUP-028 with BlueRetro adaptor working, and I tried a BlueRetro adaptor myself just to end up with an error state after which it cannot progress (LEDs: solid blue, flashing red)...

    Things you recently bought or got

    Part 1, where I got the controller. I got a BlueRetro GameCube controller adaptor by Retro Scaler, and finally got to try the NS2 NSO GCN controller on a GameCube! As for the adaptor, it just works. While this particular one does support firmware updates, it already came with the necessary...

    New reports on hackers claiming to have a playable 145GB GTA 6 build

    Nothing about it implies it is real, if it really was real the headlines would read that a leak happened, not that trojans are being spread! But spreading the good word is futile as this sort of malware campaign relies on extreme hype, which is when common sense falls apart.

    [Research] CVE-2025-10263 (ARM Erratum 4193794) & Potential Kernel Escalation on Switch 2

    Unlike before, there were sources attached, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered to comment.

    GTA 6 Nov 19 launch could cost the US economy $1B

    $1 billion in the US (~350 million people) is barely $3 per person. The math is pretty simple, that's extremely low quality bait :lol:
