    How do you extract Famicom Virtual Console titles?

    Was actually able to find a solution from a previous GBATemp thread that evaded my search. Took a bit of a refresher on GM9 usage but I got it working. The script fork they had linked looks like it was merged into the original script at some point so it might be best to use that.

    How do you extract Famicom Virtual Console titles?

    Probably, but I'd still like to learn how to do it manually myself and what makes the two different from a file/VC standpoint. Who knows, it might come up again.

    How do you extract Famicom Virtual Console titles?

    Is there a script or some documented way to dump Famicom Virtual Console titles (such as Mario: Lost Levels)? I followed some of the guides that talk about using GodMode9 to extract VC titles from the installed 3DS apps, but all of the guides specifically mention NES titles and do not seem to...

    Homebrew [RELEASE] Aroma Environment for Wii U

    Hey, just wanted to post about something that came up. Was helping a friend and updated the Aroma build on my Wii U for the first time in how long. It seemed to come with the region-free plugin, but I found out that having this plugin active and using some sort of vWii forwarder (such as the...

    Use Win10 system as Bluetooth Speaker without user input?

    This unfortunately won't work for my case; I'm using an Apple phone to play music. I noticed that Microsoft has instructions to build a UWP similar to the Bluetooth Audio Receiver so I may just need to tinker around with the code and see if I can find a way to automate the stream opening...

    Use Win10 system as Bluetooth Speaker without user input?

    Long story short, I came across a Win10 PC that has a great built-in speaker. I wanted to keep it headless and use it to play music from my phone when I'm nearby, but all of the apps I can find that allow for Bluetooth streaming (ex. Bluetooth Audio Receiver by Mark Smirnov) need you to manually...

    Are there any good alternatives to iTunes for managing iOS devices?

    How does OneDrive fare when it comes to photos? I already use OneDrive for storing things but I'd like to keep the folder structure OneDrive has in Camera Roll.

    Are there any good alternatives to iTunes for managing iOS devices?

    I had to use iTunes to manage some iOS devices, and the Windows version of it is abysmal - slow, clunky, messes with other active programs, and device detection is hit and miss. Are there any good software alternatives that can manage files/images/music/backups for iOS devices?

    What could cause my internet to blip out every half an hour?

    Good to know. I might give the modem/router combo one more try with Netgear (with all the work I've had to do over the last year I'm not sure I'm ready to go from one possible problem vector to two) and then if not I found a decently priced modem and router (the latter of which is on dd-wrt's...

    What could cause my internet to blip out every half an hour?

    Thanks for the feedback guys. I do have a bit of an update; out of desperation while testing everything again I decided to purchase a completely new modem/router combo that was compatible with my ISP (Comcast; I'm in the US and they have basically a local monopoly where I'm at). Most of my...

    What could cause my internet to blip out every half an hour?

    I posted a while ago about an issue I was having with my Internet; how it would seemingly drop at random times, but not enough for the entire network to go down (my router still says it is active). I got a bunch of advice for things to try but sadly nothing seemed to help. Nine months later, the...

    Disc drive missing a torsion spring, sometimes won't take discs; is it salvageable?

    That info about the computer disc drives is good to know; I'll have to look into that next time I need to make any backups. I also realize this thread might have an obvious answer in hindsight but I wanted to make sure that the repair was something that could be easily done and not have any...

    Disc drive missing a torsion spring, sometimes won't take discs; is it salvageable?

    Yeah I can definitely find a parts drive or Wii and do the fix; I just got this Wii for REALLY cheap and was hoping to keep costs down. I was just using this Wii to make some GameCube backups (which ended up not going well anyway due to a scratched disc, but that's another issue) and to practice...

    Disc drive missing a torsion spring, sometimes won't take discs; is it salvageable?

    At least it's good to know fixing is still an option. Thankfully I lucked out and found out a buddy of mine did some DIY work of his own and has a for-parts drive he can let me borrow some pieces from. Also, since I have the console case off, I can manually move the plastic back into place once...

    Disc drive missing a torsion spring, sometimes won't take discs; is it salvageable?

    Came across a used Wii recently and found that it sometimes had trouble taking in discs; it will take it in about halfway, not go any further and then eject. Opened it up to clean it out and one of the springs in the drive assembly (the top metal part with all the white plastic parts) is...
