    Tutorial Project How to set up ISFShax + Stroopwafel

    I actually really like this, it's similar to BootMii on Wii. I've noticed that minute has been recently updated to fix a bug that prevented this from working if an SD is not detected, though. https://github.com/jan-hofmeier/minute_minute/commit/889c8d9b5fe464ff896c0089dba8650db5ab8bdd Does the...

    Tutorial Project How to set up ISFShax + Stroopwafel

    Would it be a good idea to copy the files to SLC before installing ISFShax, just in case it fails to read fw.img from the SD card? Or would there be any issues?

    Hacking Fixing vWii Mode

    Unfortunately, it doesn't look like Hai (the Wii USB/eMMC launcher) is any different from regular Wii mode, and both have noticeable chroma artifacts. At least I can prove that 480p does lose some detail. Also, it looks like even my RVL-CPU-01 has a bit of chroma bleeding, but it's not really...

    There's this, but I don't know if it still works. https://github.com/zhuowei/NUS-Downloader-WiiU

    Gaming Wondering if I could use PPSSPP game data on PSP?

    If you mean save data, yes, you can, but you need to encrypt/decrypt it using game-specific keys.

    I think you can use NUSGrabber. https://gbatemp.net/threads/download-the-new-nusgrabbergui.411228/

    Hacking Fixing vWii Mode

    Like what? (remember, we're taking about the raw output from the Wii U, not how well your TV processes it)

    Hacking Fixing vWii Mode

    No, it's simple maths, because: 480p has way more overscan than 1080p (vWii just cuts off 16 pixels per side from the output) every single pixel is filtered, but there are not enough pixels to sample the picture faithfully (Nyquist-Shannon sampling theorem) If you think 480p looks better, then...

    Not at all. All pixels are interpolated for no reason (making everything blurry at <= ~912p), and it has the most overscan. 1080p looks much sharper, but the output still has 16 pixels of overscan (why, Nintendo???) and chroma shift.

    Hacking Fixing vWii Mode

    There's a chance at least some of the issues are "caused" by the DMCU's firmware (remember that Wii SDK bug that makes everything blurry?). Does anybody know where it's stored? I've only found a hex dump in the vWii launcher.

    Ransomware attack targets CD Projekt Red

    Am I a bad person for hoping the Stadia executable of Cyberpunk 2077 gets leaked so we can play it natively on Linux, since CDPR won't release it officially?

    Hacking Fixing vWii Mode

    Because the Wii was designed for CRTs and expects the TV to overscan, all Wii software actually has a black frame around the picture. vWii simply zooms in to get rid of the black borders (by applying a scaling filter to every single pixel), but there are not enough samples/pixels to do it while...

    480p output is not enough pixels to get a sharp overscanned picture - it needs to be higher than the cropped/native resolution times 2, which is >912p (Nyquist–Shannon sampling theorem).

    It looks the same on both consoles to me (16:9 setting, 4:3 display). Also, he set his Wii U to 480p, which is a huge mistake since vWii looks much sharper at 1080p. The actual resolution of Wii software is less than 480p due to underscan, and vWii "zooms in" to compensate and get a full-screen...

    Hacking Fixing vWii Mode

    Welp, there's a problem... Those files are part of the Wii U OS and modifying them will break the signature and cause a brick, and vWii cannot be launched from redNAND. Although there's a chance that modifying only the vWii-specific files won't cause a brick, it's still too risky. However, it...
