    Gaming Which Wii2HDMI should I buy?

    If you have a TV with component input, get a Wii component cable and set the Wii to output in 480p. This will produce the best quality output the Wii is capable of. The Wii2HDMI adapters are just active component to HDMI adapters with a Wii AV plug for the input, and will yield the same picture...

    Hacking Need M3 Lite help!

    Still keep it around, as it will play most GBA games perfectly.

    Hacking Need M3 Lite help!

    This flashcart is so old that ROMs needed to be patched with a PC utility first (M3 Game Manager). Most modern games (2009 onwards?) will not even run after patching due to antipiracy or lack of support in the old patching tool. You should really get a modern slot-1 flashcart with current...

    Hacking Backup Loader that mounts WBFS or ISOS and boots back to the menu

    SNEEK+DI or UNEEK+DI will do this as part of their NAND, ES and DI emulation. They don't use ISOs or WBFS dumps tho, they need games extracted with DiscEx.

    Microsoft Removes Mandatory Kinect Connection

    I argue that "installing" (writing the software to a local piece of storage and creating the required configuration and registry entries) is different from "purchasing"/"activating" (obtaining the software in your account in the first place, either via Steam store or physical copy with a...

    Microsoft Removes Mandatory Kinect Connection

    I have never tried to install a Steam enabled game from physical media (I have a couple, but my gaming laptop has no DVD drive - 2nd HDD instead, and I have 60mbps internet) so cannot comment, however I have manually copied Skyrim between a pair of Steam installs (both my account, both offline...

    Microsoft Removes Mandatory Kinect Connection

    Apart from Amazon MP3 (DRM Free MP3), Google Play (DRM Free MP3), Xbox Music/Zune Market (DRM Free MP3, Some DRMed WMA), and many smaller stores (infact, the only stores still using DRM are Napster and Rhapsody AFAIK, and they use PlaysForSure WMA). So no, iTunes is not the only marketplace to...

    Homebrew Is it possible to run DSLinux like a normal game?

    Go grab http://dslinux.org/builds/dslinux-dldi.tgz, and unpack it to the root of your MicroSD. Run dslinux.nds from your Acekard's menu/loader. No repartitioning needed, dslinux's filesystem lives in the folder called linux. Make sure you turn off the DS by running the command poweroff or you...

    ROM Hack Is there a way to patch an original ds cartridge?

    Since you seem to be dead set on doing this - go take a look at how the PassMe/PassMe2 worked, as they intercepted the header comms between the cartridge and DS and patched the entrypoint in the header. Another useful reference would be GBATEKs "DS Cartridges, Encryption, Firmware" section...

    Android Oh dears. Lock Screen exploit for Samsung Galaxy SIII with Android 4.1.2

    I wonder if it works if you have a PIN code set and device encryption turned on?
  11. Q

    has anyone emulated

    A build of Mupen64Plus exists which has extremely partial support for the 64DD, but AFAIK all dumped games crash during the startup sequence/menus (nothing playable). Zelda OOT +Disk gets to the save/load screen, but crashes on load. Other games don't even get that far. It's possible to load...

    ROM Hack Is there a way to patch an original ds cartridge?

    On systems like the Game Boy/GB Colour/GB Advance, yes, as the cartridge is part of the system address space (code executes directly from it, remove it and a crash is *almost* certain), and is directly connected to the address and data buses of the processor. On the DS, etc. the cartridge is on...

    Best (cheap) capture card compatible with Win7?

    Virtual VCR (http://virtualvcr.sourceforge.net/) is the preview/record tool I use with my capture setup (a BT848 based PCI card with btwincap drivers on an XP64 desktop), though I have also used VirtualDub / VirtualDubMod (http://www.virtualdub.org/) in the past.
  14. Q

    Best (cheap) capture card compatible with Win7?

    If you are playing games thru it as a TV replacement, the one thing you care about above all else is input lag - basically how long between the video signal going into the capture device and it being shown on the screen. My experience with several capture cards is that most USB ones have...

    Hacking EZ4 + Wine

    Just use the SRAM patcher in GBATA (http://www.no-intro.org/tools.htm) which should run under wine (winetricks for a runtime may be needed) and copy and rename a blank sav file made by the EZ-Client to the same name as the ROM.
