    USB Loader GX fails to load WiiWare from Hidden USB Device

    I never used SNEEK (nor was I aware of it :-D). I stuck with USB Loader GX as I have nearly 200 WBFS images and 90 wads on it and it just worked (along with downloading all the cover art). It's been a nice consolidated way to access everything under a single app. SNEEK may be able to do that as...

    USB Loader GX fails to load WiiWare from Hidden USB Device

    I don't believe this is ever going to get fixed, so I just wanted to post it for anyone else who comes across the issue. I'm using USB Loader GX 3.0 Rev 1281 with a PNY 512GB Elite-X Fit USB 3.1 Flash Drive (which works great and is huge - I took a chance on it working after extrapolating...

    ROM Hack wonder boy ultimate collection rom extract from roms.zak

    I used XCI_NCA_NSP_v2 and hactool to extract the EXEFS. That will get you the "main" file which is the primary executable for the game. You'll then need the Switch IDA Pro loader and follow the installation instructions (as easy as dropping the file in the correct directory for IDA Pro). And...

    ROM Hack wonder boy ultimate collection rom extract from roms.zak

    The ROMs can be extracted from RAM in an emulator like Yuzu or Ryujinx, but some exhibit significant graphical corruption PC emulators for the respective systems. Therefore, it's difficult to say if RAM dumps are the same as the raw ROMs in the zak archive or, due to how they are stored in...

    ROM Hack wonder boy ultimate collection rom extract from roms.zak

    The other problem is that I have zero coding skills and definitely don't know ARM64, but I can tinker. So a disassembly of the EXEFS definitely references the file and most likely steps through the decompression. I just can't do anything with it: And futher down inside that sub_7100201960...

    ROM Hack wonder boy ultimate collection rom extract from roms.zak

    I don't have anything helpful to add, but the LICENSES.TXT file included with the game indicates these compression routines were used: ■lz4 (https://github.com/lz4/lz4) ■lz4hc (https://github.com/lz4/lz4) ■zlib (https://github.com/cloudflare/zlib)

    NAND backup of hacked Wii U?

    Thanks for confirming. I just wasn't sure if it was past the point of no return once the system was hacked. Good to know that I can still restore from a hacked system backup - and now that I have that backup made, I'll need to be sure to keep it safe 🙃

    NAND backup of hacked Wii U?

    I misplaced my original non-hacked Wii U NAND backup (so, at that point, it was a non-Hacked Wii U/non-hacked vWii). Now that both are hacked (and have been for years at this point), is a NAND backup still worth it? Would I be able to restore my system if it was bricked with a backup of a...

    Unreleased Doom Demo on Interactive Sampler CD Volume One Unlocked

    Apparently SCUS-94956 is a re-release. There is an Interactive CD Sampler Volume 1 SCUS-94955 that has Loaded and MK3 playable (which is the one I remember from demo kiosks in department stores back in the day). Doom is still not directly playable from the menu on either. Doom must have been...

    BotW "Fire Battle A" and Super Mario Bros 2 (USA) boss music the same?

    OK, so I'm probably wrong on this, but ever since I heard this music in BotW while escorting Yunobo up Death Mountain, I couldn't help but feel that I heard the music before - also during a boss battle. However, after exhausting the back catalog of Zelda OSTs, I couldn't identify it as a Zelda...

    New Bioshock: The Collection trailer

    Actually, I believe Bioshock 1 and 2 are on a modified Unreal 2.5 engine. Only Bioshock Infinite move the series to the Unreal 3 engine, which would probably explain the difference in graphical quality.
