    Laggy Stadia

    I got the invite code on launch and my controllers a couple days later. It's been a little over 2 weeks now and I haven't experienced any issues with Stadia on PC, mobile, or TV via Chromecast Ultra. It's dead simple, just works, and if you have a 4K TV it looks great. I haven't experienced any...

    Hacking Discussion Attempting a petition for USA modding by changing EULA

    There is absolutely zero financial incentive for them to even read this petition. Nintendo is a publicly traded company and like all publicly traded companies their job is to create profit for their share holders and there is no profit in doing something like this. If you feel so strongly about...

    Hacking Discussion Will there Ever be Online Ban Invincibility?

    Having experience working in this field I can think of ten different ways they could fingerprint/identify users of hacked systems playing online. The real question ends up being is it profitable to ban those systems? In most cases the answer is going to be a solid no. Banning them takes...

    Hardware The heck is going on with GPU sales?

    Several cards based on the AMD RX architecture were announced but never made their way to the public. Those cards had the unfortunate side effect of being excellent for machine learning as well as mining so a lot of them were bought up wholesale last summer before they could ever make their way...

    Hardware The heck is going on with GPU sales?

    No one mines Bitcoin with GPUs anymore and that hasn't been a thing since ASIC miners were created many years ago. There are no miner specific GPU's currently on the market outside of announcements of yet to be released products from AMD. Regardless, more GPU's get purchased in bulk by...

    Hardware [Confirmed Fake] Nintendo Switch Firmware 5.0.0 "Leaked"

    In the developer/designer world we refer to this as FPO (For Placement Only / For Position Only). It is a very common practice and most likely used by anyone that has ever built a prototype before.

    Official hakchi2 - NES Mini very simple pimp tool

    If you're on a *nix operating system (Linux, macOS, BSD, etc) you can use this shell script I wrote to make converting an entire folder of ROMs a piece of cake. #!/bin/sh find -name "* *.s?c" -type f | rename 's/ /_/g' for f in *.s?c; do echo "\"./$f\"" && python3 sfc2sfrom.py ./$f...

    Hacking Turn off Updates

    I think what they meant to ask is if exploit, which is based off of the iPhone iOS 9.3 exploit, work on Nintendo Switch firmware version 1.0.0 or version 2.0.0

    Hacking Wii U HOMEBREW - where is it?

    Released for non-current versions of the Wii U firmware. With the Wii U's auto updating feature the amount of developers and users that would have had an exploitable version at the time were a lot less than they are now that an exploit is available up to 5.5.1. Not everyone knew how to block...

    Hacking Wii U HOMEBREW - where is it?

    The exploit has been out for barely a little more than a week. I get the impression you are not a developer/engineer or you would understand that even building simple apps can take time. Especially when it is in a closed ecosystem that you have to create an exploit to even get access to because...

    Hacking What's most likely going to happen

    As an engineer I understand part of the logic of not wanting to release a kernel exploit unless you have a backup one, but also as an engineer I can't help but think of this meme every single time that point is made: Every new update Nintendo releases brings the possibility of increasing...

    Hacking PSA: Do not forgot to block update servers!

    Then modify your host file and point all the addresses to 127.0.0.1. HOST FILE CONTENT 127.0.0.1 nus.c.shop.nintendowifi.net 127.0.0.1 nus.cdn.c.shop.nintendowifi.net 127.0.0.1 nus.cdn.shop.wii.com 127.0.0.1 nus.cdn.wup.shop.nintendo.net 127.0.0.1 nus.wup.shop.nintendo.net HOST FILE LOCATION...
